33rd Annual National Neurotrauma Society (NNS) Symposium

 描述（由申请人提供）：神经创伤是世界上45岁以下人群死亡和残疾的最大原因，在美国，由此造成的残疾的社会成本每年超过600亿美元。国家神经创伤学会（NNS）年度研讨会是交流创伤性脑损伤（TBI）和脊髓损伤（SCI）领域信息的主要论坛。国家神经创伤研讨会现在已经是第33个年头了，多年来主要是一个整合有关脑和SCI病理生理学和治疗新信息的论坛。该申请旨在资助20名博士前和博士后学员参加第33届全国神经创伤研讨会，并部分支持56名受邀演讲者的旅行。会议将在新墨西哥州圣达菲的会议中心举行。为期3天的会议将集中在神经创伤领域的重要和及时的主题，包括基础，翻译和临床研究。2015年会议由国家神经创伤学会（NNS）和AANS/CNS神经创伤和重症监护联合科（AANAS/CNS JSNCC）共同主办。来自这两个协会的成员都被包括在计划规划委员会中，以确保有足够的针对大脑和SCI的主题组合。 一个令人兴奋的收集国家f-最先进的会议对神经系统损伤的后果和治疗策略的保护和修复计划。科学计划的亮点包括新的研究人员和CNS损伤研究的新视野，创伤后炎症，脊髓损伤老化，用于检测和诊断神经创伤的新兴成像策略，细胞疗法，包括临床前和临床结果以及神经创伤易感性遗传指标的重要性。其他会议包括机车电路的遗传解剖，治疗性低温的使用和神经创伤后的目标温度管理，以及科学家和临床医生感兴趣的各种其他重要主题。我们努力吸收以前会议上没有强调的发言者和议题。将有一个特别的研讨会主办的妇女在神经创伤（WiNTR）致力于人类TBI神经病理学。还将组织几次建立联系的活动，以便最大限度地增加学生和年轻调查人员与知名研究人员互动的机会。由于在神经创伤领域对轻度创伤性脑损伤的关注日益增加，关于运动脑震荡的临床科学以及实验性TBI后的执行功能的会议将强调这一新兴领域不断增长的知识。两个病人的观点将提供个人的观点与生活的伤害和他们的意见，对科学的进展，在该领域的神经创伤。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Neurotrauma is the largest cause of death and disability for persons under the age of 45 in the world and the societal cost of the resulting disability exceeds $60 billion per year in the United States. The National Neurotrauma Society (NNS) Annual Symposium is the primary forum for exchanging information in the fields of both traumatic brain injury (TBI) and spinal cord injury (SCI). The National Neurotrauma Symposium is now in its 33rd year and has been primarily a forum for integrating new information regarding the pathophysiology and treatment of brain and SCI for many years. This application seeks funding to support 20 pre- and postdoctoral trainees to attend the 33rd National Neurotrauma Symposium and partial support for travel of 56 invited speakers. The meeting will be held in Santa Fe, New Mexico at their Convention Center. The 3-day meeting will focus on important and timely topics in the field of Neurotrauma including basic, translational and clinical investigations. The 2015 meeting is co-hosted by the National Neurotrauma Society (NNS) and the AANS/CNS Joint Section on Neurotrauma and Critical Care (AANAS/CNS JSNCC). Members from both societies are included on the Program Planning Committee to be certain there is a sufficient mix of topics targeting both brain and SCI. An exciting collection of state-f-the-art sessions on the consequences of damage to the nervous system and treatment strategies for protection and repair are planned. Highlights of the scientific program include new investigators and new visions for CNS injury research, inflammation after trauma, aging with spinal cord injury, emerging imaging strategies for detection and diagnosis of neurotrauma, cell therapies including preclinical and clinical outcomes as well as the importance of genetic indicators of a predisposition for neurotrauma. Other sessions include genetic dissection of locomotive circuitry, the use of therapeutic hypothermia and targeted temperature management after neurotrauma, as well as a variety of other important topics that would be of interest to scientists and clinicians. We have tried to incorporate speakers and topics that have not previously been emphasized in prior meetings. There will be a special workshop hosted by the Women in Neurotrauma (WiNTR) devoted to human TBI neuropathology. Several networking events will also be organized in order to maximize opportunities for students and young investigators to interact with established researchers. Due to the growing concern of mild traumatic brain injury in the field of neurotrauma, a session on the clinical science of sports concussion as well as executive function after experimental TBI will emphasize the growing knowledge in this emerging field. Two patient perspectives will provide personal viewpoints on living with injury and their views regarding scientific progress in the field of Neurotrauma.
