The objectives of the New York University (NYU) neurosurgery Web resource are the following: 1) to educate patients and families of patients who have neurosurgical problems, 2) to provide a forum for communication among neurosurgeons and other physicians, 3) to educate neurosurgeons, and 4) to provide neurosurgeons with resources for enhancing their practices.
The NYU neurosurgery Web resource resides on a Sun SparcStation 20, running Solaris 1.0 and National Center for Supercomputing Applications httpd 1.0. It is aimed at a broad audience that includes the general public as well as practicing neurosurgeons and other physicians. Accordingly, general information regarding a variety of neurosurgical problems is presented in easy-to-understand language. Material intended specifically for neurosurgeons, such as case discussions, is designed to stimulate discussion and encourage outside submissions. Interaction with the NYU faculty and residents may be accomplished by using electronic mail, file transfer protocol, and direct Web postings. Media in development include java applets and real-time video over the Internet. The uniform resource locator for the NYU neurosurgery Web site is "http:/(/)mcns10.med.nyu.edu/".
The Web site has averaged 1800 accesses per month, and 5 to 10 electronic mail messages are received daily. Several patients for whom our faculty have held consultations over the Web have undergone surgery at NYU. The most popular areas of the Web site are the spinal surgery section and the brain tumors section.
The ability to capitalize on the World Wide Web as a facile user is becoming an increasingly important skill for the modern neurosurgeon. In addition, Web sites published by neurosurgeons offer opportunities for communication and consultation that have previously been impossible.
纽约大学神经外科网站资源的目标如下：1）教育患有神经外科疾病的患者及其家属；2）为神经外科医生和其他医生提供交流论坛；3）教育神经外科医生；4）为神经外科医生提供提升业务水平的资源。
纽约大学神经外科网站资源存于一台运行Solaris 1.0和美国国家超级计算应用中心httpd 1.0的Sun SparcStation 20上。其目标受众广泛，包括普通公众以及执业神经外科医生和其他医生。因此，关于各种神经外科问题的一般信息以通俗易懂的语言呈现。专门为神经外科医生准备的材料，如病例讨论，旨在激发讨论并鼓励外部投稿。与纽约大学教职员工和住院医生的互动可通过电子邮件、文件传输协议和直接在网站上发帖来实现。正在开发的媒体包括Java小程序和互联网实时视频。纽约大学神经外科网站的统一资源定位器是“http:/(/)mcns10.med.nyu.edu/”。
该网站平均每月有1800次访问，每天收到5到10封电子邮件。我们的教职员工通过网络进行会诊的几位患者已在纽约大学接受手术。该网站最受欢迎的板块是脊柱外科板块和脑肿瘤板块。
对于现代神经外科医生来说，利用万维网作为便捷工具的能力正变得越来越重要。此外，神经外科医生发布的网站提供了以前不可能实现的交流和会诊机会。
