31st Annual National Neurotrauma Society(NNS)Symposium

描述(申请人提供)：国家神经创伤学会(NNS)年度研讨会是在创伤性脑损伤(TBI)和脊髓损伤(SCI)领域交流信息的主要论坛。此申请寻求资助20名博士后和博士后学员参加第31届全国神经创伤研讨会，并为55名受邀演讲者的旅费提供部分资助。会议将在田纳西州纳什维尔的盖洛德奥普里兰酒店举行。NNS将与美国神经外科医生协会/神经外科医生大会创伤/危重护理联合分会共同主办这次会议。2013年的会议将是这一合作的第三年，这一合作非常成功，通过吸引更多神经外科和神经危重护理临床医生参加会议，加强了会议。联合部分的成员被包括在项目规划委员会中，以确保有足够的临床和翻译基础科学主题的混合。该计划的亮点包括：神经创伤的综合治疗；脑和脊髓联合损伤；轻微脑创伤的最新进展，包括针对轻度脑外伤和创伤后头痛的新治疗策略；脊髓损伤治疗试验的最新进展；穿透性脑损伤的最新治疗；以及线粒体和小胶质细胞在急性神经创伤中的作用。将由女性神经创伤(WiNTR)组织为早期职业调查人员举办一次特别会议。这次会议是WiNTR非常成功的活动的演变，不仅指导妇女，而且指导所有早期职业调查人员。为了让其他重要学科参与会议，还将 是关于药剂师在神经创伤研究中的作用的会议。还将举行一次协调临床前脑损伤/脊髓损伤研究的会议，并举行圆桌讨论会，讨论将神经保护策略从实验室转化为临床试验的相关问题。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): 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). This application seeks funding support for 20 pre- and post-doctoral trainees to attend the 31st National Neurotrauma Symposium and partial support for the travel of 55 invited speakers. The meeting will be held at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee. NNS will co-host the meeting with the Joint Section on Trauma/Critical Care of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons/Congress of Neurological Surgeons. The 2013 meeting will be the third year for this collaboration, which has been very successful, and has enhanced the meeting by attracting more neurosurgery and neurocritical care clinicians to the meeting. Members of the Joint Section were included in the program planning committee to be certain that there was sufficient mix of clinical and translational basic science topics. Highlights of the program include sessions on combination therapy for neurotrauma; combined brain and spinal cord injuries; mild TBI updates including new treatment strategies for mild TBI and post-trauma headaches; SCI updates on treatment trials; an update on the management of penetrating brain injury; and the role of mitochondria and the role of microglia in acute neurotrauma. There will be a special session hosted by the Women in Neurotrauma (WiNTR) organization for early career investigators. This session is an evolution of WiNTR very successful activities to not only mentor women but also all early career investigators. In an attempt to involve other important disciplines in the meeting, there will also be a session on the role of pharmacists in neurotrauma research. There will also be a session on harmonizing preclinical TBI/SCI research and a roundtable discussion of issues related to translation of neuroprotective strategies from the laboratory to clinical trials.
