CurePSP: Impact of CTE Panel

CurePSP, the foundation for prime of life neurodegeneration, presents a must-see event on May 7 in New York City on chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a degenerative brain disease that results from repeated head trauma often sustained by young men and women in contact sports and military service. CTE is in a category of prime of life neurodegenerative diseases that research suggests are linked pathologically and exhibit many similar symptoms. Research into these prime of life diseases may lead to treatments for more-common conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. Neurodegeneration is currently incurable and treatments are limited. A panel of medical experts and those who have been directly affected will discuss the latest science and their real-life experiences around CTE.

Behind the Game: CTE and the Long-term Consequences of Repetitive Blows to the Head

Dr. Robert Stern, Director of Clinical Research for the BU Chronic
Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) Center, joins the Vilna to explore the
longterm consequences of concussions and repetitive head injuries. A
major focus of his research involves the long-term effects of repetitive
brain trauma in athletes, including the neuro-degenerative disease, CTE.
In an intimate discussion, learn more about his groundbreaking research,
ask questions, and get up-close and personal with the man who may
have a major impact on the future of all organized professional sports.

Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy Conference

Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) is a progressive degenerative disease of the brain found in athletes (and others) with a history of repetitive brain trauma, including symptomatic concussions as well as asymptomatic subconcussive hits to the head. The brain degeneration is associated with memory loss, confusion, impaired judgment, impulse control problems, aggression, depression, and, eventually, progressive dementia.

During this two day course participants will learn about all aspects of CTE including its pathology, pathophysiology, genetics, biomarkers, imaging, clinical syndromes, clinical criteria, differential diagnosis, impact on veterans and implications for the family, and what it is like to live with or worry about the disease.
 

A poster session will be held on both days during all breaks and lunchtime.  If you're interested in participating, please click on the black button below to submit an abstract.   If your abstract is chosen you will be asked to present on one of the conference days.  The deadline to submit an abstract has been extended to October 19th, 2017.
