if you brought a recording device and livestreamed it, sou, that would also be acceptable....
It sounds fabulous, I hope you have a good time and lots of learning.
16.10 > 16.20 Clinical disability and venous vessel pathology
in multiple sclerosis - M. Denislic Slovenia
I noticed this one, it might be about the question we all have: which veins, when obstructed, cause which sorts of disability. (Azygous=spinal lesions, bilateral jugular stenosis="Cerebral" MS?)
10.30 > 10.45 The limits of MRV
R. Zivadinov USA
Dr. Zivadinov is definitely pulling away from the use of MRV for imaging CCSVI.
10.15 > 10.30 Catheter Venography
R. Galeotti Italy
Dr. Galeotti is the only IR, having worked with Dr. Zamboni from the beginning of CCSVI, with the most years of experience in CCSVI.
11.30 > 12.15
KEYNOTE LECTURE
PRESIDENT P. Zamboni Italy
Any society with Dr. Zamboni as president is a good society.
Neurovascular Mechanisms in Neurodegenerative Diseases
B. Zlokovic USA
"neurovascular mechanisms" - I'd have to hear this one to know what exactly that means. This is mechanisms of action, so ways in which the brain can be affected by the vasculature?
13.30 > 13.45 Iron and oxidative stress in AD
C. Iadecola USA
Not much mention in the programme of diseases other than MS and CCSVI, but here's Alzheimer's, and I hope our guys solve that one too. No pressure.
13.45 > 14.00 Iron and veins in MS
R. Zivadinov USA
This fits with research he was doing even before CCSVI came along. Interesting stuff.
14.00 > 14.15 Mitochondria dysfunction and differentiation of oligodendrocytes. Is iron a candidate factor? - P. Pinton Italy
A little over my head..."differentiation of oligodendrocytes"?
16.25 > 16.35 A Prospective Analysis of Endovascular
Treatments of CCSVI in MS - M. Mehta USA
His study was IRB approved back in August, but I wouldn't expect him to have any results this soon?
16.45 > 16.55 Evaluating the presence of abnormal venous
vasculature in a non-MS population using CT angiography
K. Agarwal USA
this is CT scans of the vasculature, I'm not expecting much from that as an imaging method
8.45 > 9.00 Hypoxia-like aspect of MS B. Trapp USA
I would be interested in this, though! I believe my MS has had a lot of hypoxia involved. 80% and 100% jugular blockages....
10.50 > 11.05 Rare clinical manifestations associated with CCSVI-MS:
extrapyramidal syndrome and normotensive hydrocephalus - F. Salvi Italy
Glad that these are rare. Dr. Salvi is the neurologist who has worked with Dr. Zamboni from the beginning.
10.05 > 11.20 Seasonality in vascular disorders and preliminary data in MS
R. Manfredini Italy
Do vascular disorders exhibit seasonality differences?
12.45 > 13.00 Plethysmography and multiple sclerosis:
analysis of novel data - S. Shepherd UK
Like Dr. Zamboni, Dr. Shepherd is looking at the plethysmography neck-collar-to-measure-blood-flow.
Publications
Main speakers and Authors of accepted abstract in program may submit a full text article for peer review to Functional Neurology. Editorial rules are on line in the journal web site
http://www.functionalneurology.it/.
This is interesting, the speakers are invited to submit their work for peer review/publication at Functional Neurology. Interesting that it's a neurology journal, not a vascular one. (We need an esteemed neurovascular journal, I don't think there is such a thing yet.) Functional Neurology is based in Italy, so as a European journal is it likely to be dismissed by US neurologists? Or by having anything positive to say about CCSVI, it is likely to be dismissed....
It was work to go through all of these, I skipped a bunch, what a fascinating program this looks like it will be.
