研究室紹介
Professor Min-Yul Baek's research lab specializes in cerebrovascular and spinal cord disorders, with a focus on acute stroke management and rare neurological conditions such as surfer’s myelopathy. The lab investigates the impact of public health crises—like the COVID-19 pandemic—on stroke care delivery and treatment outcomes, emphasizing timely reperfusion therapy and health system responses. Their work combines clinical neurology with health services research to improve early diagnosis, intervention, and patient outcomes in neurological emergencies.

Surfer’s myelopathy is a rare nontraumatic spinal cord disorder associated with surfing. This study reports three patients with surfer’s myelopathy. All patients were young males who were previously healthy and first-time surfers at the onset of their symptoms. They developed the symptoms while surfing or shortly thereafter, presenting with lower back pain followed by an acute myelopathy. Spine magnetic resonance imaging showed T2 hyperintense cord lesion. Since the number of surfers is increasi
Background and Purpose We aimed to determine whether the care process and outcomes in patients with acute stroke who received recanalization therapy changed during the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in South Korea. Methods We used data from a prospective multicenter reperfusion therapy registry to compare the care process—including the time from symptom onset to treatment, number of treated patients, and discharge disposition—and treatment outcomes between before and during the
