Session 01: Neurodegenerative Disorders
Neurodegeneration is the progressive loss of structure or function of neurons, including death of neurons. Many neurodegenerative diseases – including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and Huntington's – occur as a result of neurodegenerative processes. Such diseases are incurable, resulting in progressive degeneration and/or death of neuron cells. Many neurodegenerative diseases are caused by genetic mutations, most of which are located in completely unrelated genes. Neurodegeneration can be found in many different levels of neuronal circuitry ranging from molecular to systemic.

Session 13: Pediatrics: Stroke and Metabolic Disorders
Stroke is more common in boys than girls even after controlling for differences in frequency of causes trauma and these appears to be a predominance of stroke in black children. This difference remains true even after accounting for sickle cell disease patients with stroke and moreover seizures are common in both ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes. They occur in up to 50% of children with strokes are not restricted to any age group and are not limited to any specific seizure type. A stroke or cerebral vascular accident (CVA) in children is typically considered to be a rare event. The reported incidence of combined and hemorrhagic ischemic pediatric stroke ranges from 1.2 to 13 cases per 100,000 children under 18 years of age.
Non-contrast head computed tomography (CT) is sensitive for acute bleeding and should be obtained emergently to exclude a cause for hemorrhagic stroke. Despite increasingly advanced imaging techniques the adult literature suggests that a lumbar puncture is still needed to rule out a subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Session 14: Pediatric Critical Care
Pediatric Critical Care is concerned with the diagnosis and management of life-threatening conditions that requires organ support and invasive monitoring. Critical care treatment raises issues that includes psychological health; pressure points; mobilisation and physiotherapy; and secondary infections. Critical care is provided to the children whose condition is potentially reversible and who have a good chance of surviving with intensive care support. A prime imperative for admission to an emergency unit is that the basic condition can be overcome. Convenient diagnosis and initiation of treatment are required in order to counteract unnecessary increases in patient morbidity and mortality.

Session 15: Vascular Surgery and Neurosurgery
The Neurovascular surgery specializes in the management of complex central nervous system vascular disorders including arteriovenous malformations, aneurysms, cavernous angiomas and carotid and intracerebral stenosis. Surgery and vascular procedures can be used to prevent stroke to treat or to repair damaged blood vessels or malformations in and around the brain. Carotid endarterectomy is a surgical procedure in which a surgeon removes fatty deposits or plaque from the inside of one of the carotid arteries and this procedure is performed to prevent stroke.

Session 16: Current Breakthrough in Stroke Research
The randomized clinical research study shows a dramatic improvement in restoring blood back to the brain in arteries. This study involved minimally invasive clot procedure known as stent thrombectomy and this standard clot procedure called as tissue plasminogen activator. In patients with more severe strokes, each trail shows the striking benefit of catheter-based clot removal to restore blood flow in brain arteries. This can be used to improve the treatment for heart attacks known as acute stroke therapy. There is another new treatment for the stroke shown to be very effective that and it will be used as a part of standard stroke care.

SCOPE AND IMPORTANCE
Globally the market for stroke disorder & treatments increasing rapidly. The major factor that derives the growth of stroke disorder & treatment is the increasing high blood pressure patients. Ischemic stroke is caused by a dysfunction in the supply of blood to the brain due to emboli, thrombus or atherosclerosis occurring in cerebral arteries. According to a World Health Organization (WHO) estimate, around 17 million people die every year due to cardiovascular diseases. The statistics of the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention suggest that about 87% of all strokes are ischemic strokes. Moreover, stroke leads to 1 out of every 20 deaths, costing around $34 billion to U.S. annually. Higher rates of mortality associated with strokes highlight an impending need for innovative drugs and diagnostic devices.
The two major factors propelling the growth of the acute ischemic stroke diagnosis and treatment market are; large patient pools and a concerning rise in population at a higher risk of developing stroke in the near future. Rising incidence of diabetes along with heavy tobacco users and an increase in the ageing population are significant factors that determine the market growth.
New Product launches and collaborations are some of the key strategies adopted by leading industry players. In March, 2015, FDA approved WATCHMAN, a left atrial appendage closure device designed to prevent stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation. Silk Road Medical, Inc. has launched an Anti-Stroke Enroute Device, a transcarotid neuroprotection system, designed to access the common carotid artery through a minimally invasive technique. NeuroVive Pharmaceutical AB, entered into collaboration with BBB Therapeutics, for development of the NVP014 drug candidate used in the treatment of ischemic strokes.
