Professor Manuel Dujovny

was born in Cordoba, Argentina. He received his medical degree at the National University of Cordoba, Argentina. He has been very active in clinical and central neurosystem research and contributed to more than 400 clinical research publications on neuroscience. His major interests are: Microanatomy of the cerebral vessel and arachnoid membrane. Aneurysm clips (Biomechanical, Metallurgy, Biocompatibility, Magnetic properties, Neuroimaging) Omental transposition (biochemistry, neurotrophy, stem cell) Child abuse (Epidemiology, late complication of the central nervous system) Near infrared spectroscopy (Transcraneal Cerebral oxycimetry) Microsurgery instrumentation (irrigating bipolar forceps, suction control, micro instruments, micro dissectors) (Dura mater replacement, vicryl mesh, PDS) Craneoplasty (Clinical indiction, computer design, Stereolytopgraphy) (hydroxyapatite) Cerebral oxygen regulation on carotid disease, cranial defects and postural body change SEM evaluation of cranial arachnoid membrane SEM evaluation of carotid plaque Effect on brain tumor by neomycin / dobesilate topic application Cerebral ischemia following middle cerebral artery emboli, ultra structure analysis Stable Exnon computer tomography, cerebral blood flow evaluation, early dictation of cerebral ischemia by computer tomography. Cerebral blood flow evaluation by radioactive zino in hypertensive patient Model of increase blood pressure by a pulsatile balloon on bentral region of the medulla oblongata. Brain retractor pressure evaluation (development of equipment for pressure measurement). Diagnosis of the critical retractor pressure and their correlation with cerebral ischemia. Stem cell peripheral nerve repair Development of myocardio infarction after hypothalamus electrical stimulation. Stereotactic frame for brain tumor localization using neuro imaging (Z-D frame) Micro occluder for microvascular reconstruction. Microsurgical embolictomy Traumatic brain injury Laser Doppler analysis MKM surgical experience Early detection of hydrocephalus by radionuclide Cerebral revascularization (EC-IC) Radio frequency lesion maker Optical character reading for visually impaired patients Baseball bat head injury Geriatric Neurosurgery Intracranial penetrating orbital lesion Intracerebral Hodgkin disease Isotope implant for hormonal disease, metastasis, brain tumor Intracerebral hemitoma-eurokinase interstitial therapy Brain microdialysis Neuropsychological evolution of arterial aneurysm, arterial venous malformation, craneoplasty Early development of the magnetic guided catheter technique for endovascular surgery. After graduating from the National University of Cordoba, he completed residencies in Neurosurgery both in Argentina and Israel under the direction of Professors Federico J. Viñas and Harden M. Askenasy respectively. In 1973, he accepted a position at the University of Pittsburgh as Professor of Neurosurgery and Director of the Neurosurgical Research. During this time he was alsochief of Neurosurgery at the Oakland Veteran’s Administration Medical Center and a staff member of the Presbyterian University Hospital, Montefiore Hospital and Children’s Hospital Pittsburg. In 1981 he moved to Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit in the position of Vice-Chairman and Director of Research in the Department of Neurosurgery. In 1991 he accepted the position of Professor of Neurosurgery and Vice-Chairman of Department of Neurosurgery at the University of Illinois at Chicago. He returned to Michigan in 1997 as a Professor of Neurosurgery at Wayne State University. He also held a position as Professor of Neurosurgery at the National University of Cordoba, and Professor of Neurosurgery to Tashkent, Uzbekistan. He has mentored several generations of young neurosurgeons who have gone on to successful careers of their own. Numerous students of his have become Professors and Chairmen. Among the many awards he has received during his career: Most outstanding Scientific Engineer, American Society of Testing Material for work related to the aneurysm clip standards. Best Neurosurgical teacher for Latin America, Federacion Latino Americana Neurocirugia (FLANC) Recognition of the American Society of Neurosurgery and Congress of Neurosurgery, USA Recognition by the WFNS for establishing a continuing education program and for obtaining donations for under developed countries neurosurgical centers. Dr. Dujovny is an active member of several neurosurgical journal boards, he developed Neurocirugia-Neurocirgia (FLANC) and he has been the Editor-in-Chief for Neurological Research for the last two decades. He is married, a father of two sons with two granddaughters, and five grandsons.
