Introduction
Innovation in clinical research can arise through new procedures, improved diagnostic strategies, advanced analytical methods, translational applications, or the integration of technologies into established clinical workflows. In cerebrovascular medicine and neurosurgery, such innovation is particularly relevant because clinical outcomes may depend on rapid diagnosis, precise intervention, appropriate risk assessment, infection prevention, and increasingly sophisticated imaging and computational methods.[3] [4]
Research Profile
Fusao Ikawa is identified in the supplied data with Shimane Prefectural Central Hospital in Japan and a primary subject area of stroke. His Scopus Author ID is 7003483069. The supplied bibliometric profile lists 140 indexed documents, 2,017 citations, and an h-index of 23. [1]
Research Contributions
The supplied record indicates several areas of research contribution relevant to contemporary stroke and neurosurgical practice. These include procedural research, cerebrovascular epidemiology, clinical outcomes, infection prevention, advanced imaging, and computational approaches.
- Neurovascular procedural research: The publication on temporary stent retriever deployment describes a stepwise procedural guide based on angiographic signs during treatment of intracranial atherosclerotic disease-related large-vessel occlusion.
- Stroke epidemiology: Research on familial stroke burden examines associations with asymptomatic cerebrovascular lesions, contributing to understanding of inherited or familial risk contexts.
Publications
The following selected publications were supplied for this profile. They are presented in chronological order from the most recent listed work and retain the publication metadata and DOI information supplied in the source record.
- Impact of 1.5% Aqueous Olanexidine Against Surgical-Site Infections in Neurosurgery. Operative Neurosurgery.
- Obesity and Subclinical Cerebral Small Vessel Disease Burden in Asymptomatic Japanese Adults: Mediation by Hypertension.
- A Stepwise Procedural Guide Based on Angiographic Signs during Temporary Stent Retriever Deployment for Intracranial Atherosclerotic Disease–Related Large Vessel Occlusion.
- Graded Association of Familial Stroke Burden with Asymptomatic Cerebrovascular Lesion. Neuroepidemiology.
Research Impact
The supplied bibliometric profile records 2,017 citations across 140 documents and an h-index of 23. These figures indicate that the research output has received substantial citation activity within indexed scholarly literature. [1] Bibliometric indicators, however, should be considered together with publication quality, methodological rigor, clinical relevance, reproducibility, and contribution to the broader research community.
Award Suitability
Based solely on the supplied information, Fusao Ikawa’s research profile presents several characteristics that are relevant to consideration for an Innovative Research Award. These include a substantial indexed publication record, measurable citation activity, a sustained focus on stroke and cerebrovascular research, and documented engagement with contemporary technologies and clinical methodologies.The evidence supports eligibility for consideration rather than constituting an automatic award determination.
Conclusion
Fusao Ikawa’s supplied academic profile presents a substantial body of research centered on stroke, cerebrovascular disease, neurointervention, neurosurgery, and related clinical sciences. The combination of 140 documents, 2,017 citations, and an h-index of 23 provides quantitative evidence of an established scholarly record. [1]
