Is TBI a Chronic Disease?
| Speaker: | Ross Zafonte, Professor and Chair, Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) @Harvard Medical School |
|---|---|
| Hosts: | NEURAM, CANOSC, WFNR, University of Mauritius, Bournemouth University, University of British Columbia |
| CanMEDS Role: | Medical Expert, Leader, Health Advocate, Scholar, Professional |
Traumatic brain injury has been associated with neurodegenerative disease. This lecture, will help define the existing literature in the domain of pathology and the association with multiple phenotypes. The discussion will also describe the putative linkage between brain injury and multiple medical comorbid conditions.
At the end of the session, participants will be able to:
- Cite the biologic and epidemiologic data linking brain injury to chronic disease
- Assess the strengths and limitations in the linkage between brain injury and chronic disease
- Critique the existing literature on chronic brain injury and brain health
- Describe the critical pathological and phenotypic factors associated with declines in chronic brain health
- Reflect on a plan to distinguish medical comorbids and their contribution to brain health

Stroke Prevention: A Public Health Necessity
| Speaker: | Carol Clark, Professor in Physiotherapy, Bournemouth University |
|---|---|
| Hosts: | NEURAM, CANOSC, WFNR, University of Mauritius, Bournemouth University, University of British Columbia |
| CanMEDS Role: | Scholar |
This session is aimed at providing a background to aspects that should be considered for the prevention of stroke. It will describe the context of stroke prevention within the context of the non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The session will provide information around the global health and economic burden of the NCDs with a specific focus on Canada, Mauritius, UK and India. There will be a focus on physical activity recommendations and the recent update by the World Health Organisation with a view to understanding what these mean for participants (participation required). There will be an exploration of the pitfalls of implementing governmental guidelines and consideration of the next steps. This includes an exploration of physical activity requirements pre- and post-stroke. Finally, there is a chance for all participants to consider how we might all change our own physical activity behaviour to prevent stroke.
At the end of the session, participants will be able to:
- Describe features that might be considered for the prevention of stroke
- Develop this discussion within the context of the non-communicable diseases (NCDs)
- Explain the global health and economic burden of the NCDs
- Understand physical activity recommendations and explore how these might be implemented
- Consider implementing a change in physical activity behaviour
