Overview
Current research interests include:
1. The relationship between white matter patency, functional connectivity (fMRI) and neurocognitive function following cardiac surgery.
2. The relationship between global and regional cortical beta-amyloid deposition and postoperative cognitive decline.
3. The effect of lidocaine infusion upon neurocognitive function following cardiac surgery.
4. The association between genotype and outcome after cardiac surgery.
5. Atrial fibrillation following cardiopulmonary bypass.

Association of blood pressure variability with clinical and biomarker outcomes in moderate to severe TBI: A TRACK-TBI study.
Journal article J Clin Neurosci · July 2026 INTRODUCTION: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) represents a significant global health burden and often results in functional impairment. Blood pressure variability (BPV), a surrogate marker of autonomic dysfunction, has been shown to influence outcomes in pati ...

Journal article Anesth Analg · June 17, 2026 BACKGROUND: Postoperative delirium is the most common postsurgical complication in older adults and is associated with an increased risk of long-term cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementias (ADRD). However, the neurological bas ... Full text Open Access Link to item CiteAssociation of Preinjury Beta-Blocker Exposure With Brain Injury Biomarkers Following Traumatic Brain Injury.
Journal article J Neurosurg Anesthesiol · April 1, 2026 OBJECTIVE: Beta-blockers have been studied for their impact on traumatic brain injury (TBI). We aimed to examine the association of preinjury beta-blocker exposure with early brain injury biomarker levels and outcomes following TBI. METHODS: We retrospecti ...
