    Abstract Aim: This article aims to inform and share the experience of a Singaporean tertiary level neurosurgical unit in an academic medical centre during the COVID-19 outbreak.
    Method: This is a descriptive study of our segregation team model which is designed with the aim of optimizing manpower and ensuring the safety and welfare of the neurosurgical unit, while maintaining and prioritizing excellent patient care.
    Result: We describe our method of team segregation, rostering, and outline some principles that we adhere to in its design. We also summarise the restructuring of our inpatient and outpatient service, including the operating theatre and protocols for specific procedures, intensive care and general wards, as well as clinic services and multidisciplinary meetings.
    Conclusion: We end with a commentary on residency training and anticipated challenges. Given the likely protracted course of the pandemic, it is key to account for sustainability of such measures and the conservation of resource via the reduction of pateint volume, upkeep of staff emotional and physical health and harnessing technologies such as telemedicine.

    Abstract Objectives: Forest fires in South Asia lead to widespread haze, where many healthy individuals develop psychosomatic symptoms. We investigated the effects of haze exposure on cerebral hemodynamics and new symptoms. We hypothesised that vasoactive substances present in the haze, would lead to vasodilation of cerebral vasculature, thereby altering cerebral hemodynamics, which in turn may account for new psychosomatic symptoms.
    Methods: Seventy-four healthy volunteers were recruited, and serial transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasonography was performed to record blood flow parameters of bilateral middle cerebral arteries (MCA). The first TCD was performed in an air-conditioned environment. It was repeated outdoors after the participants spent 30-minutes in the haze environment. The prevailing level of pollutant standards index (PSI) was recorded. Appropriate statistical analyses were performed to compare cerebral hemodynamics at baseline and after haze exposure in all participants. Subgroup analyses were then employed to compare the findings between symptomatic and asymptomatic participants.
    Results: Study participants' median age was 30 years (IQR 26-34), and new psychosomatic symptoms were reported by 35 (47.3%). There was a modest but significant decrease in pulsatility index (PI) and resistivity index (RI) in the left MCA after haze exposure (PI: p = 0.026; RI: p = 0.021). When compared to baseline parameters, haze exposure resulted in significantly lower mean PI (p = 0.001) and RI (p = 0.001) in symptomatic patients, but this difference was not present in asymptomatic patients (PI: p = 0.919; RI: p = 0.970).
    Conclusion: Haze causes significant alterations in cerebral hemodynamics in susceptible individuals, probably responsible for various psychosomatic symptoms. The prognostic implications and health effects of haze require evaluation in a larger study.
