Track 1: Central Nervous System Disorders
CNS disorders can affect either the brain or the spinal cord which results in psychiatric disorders or neurological disorders. The causes of CNS diseases are stroke, trauma, autoimmune disorders, infections, structural defects, degeneration and tumors. So here we focus on mood disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, schizophrenia and autism.
Meningitis is a relatively rare infection that affects the delicate membranes called meninges that cover the brain and spinal cord.
Encephalitis is the inflammation of the brain which is caused by infection or allergic reactions.

Track 2: Cerebrovascular Disorders and stroke
Cerebrovascular disorders are conditions that are caused by problems which affect the blood supply to the brain.
The most common forms of cerebrovascular disease are cerebral thrombosis and cerebral embolism followed by cerebral haemorrhage.
The four most common types are: Stroke, subarachnoid haemorrhage, Transient ischaemic attack and vascular dementia.

Track 3: Neurological and degenerative disorders
Neuro Degenerative disorders affect many of your body's activities like balance, movement, talking, breathing, and heart function.
Degenerative nerve diseases includes: Alzheimer's disease, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Huntington's disease, Friedreich's ataxia, Parkinson's disease, Lewy body disease and Spinal muscular atrophy.
These diseases often strike older adults and are characterized by progressive deterioration of nerve cells which eventually leads to cell death.

Track 4: Neurological disorders and Chronic Pain
There are more than 600 diseases of the nervous system such as brain tumors, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, dementia and stroke.
Chronic pain is a frequent component of many neurological disorders which affects 20–40% of patients for many primary neurological disorders.
Medications, local electrical stimulation, acupuncture and brain stimulation as well as surgery are some of the treatments for chronic pain.

Track 5: Brain Tumour and Imaging
Brain tumors are classified on the basis of the location of the tumor and the type of tissue involved and may be malignant or benign.
Primary brain tumors arise from the brain cells and include astroglial tumors, oligodendroglial tumors, neuroglial tumors, ependymal tumors, embryonal cell tumors , and germ-cell tumors.
Secondary or metastatic tumors metastasize from another part of the body and are more common than primary brain tumors.
The most common types of cancer that spreads to the brain include melanoma, breast, colon and lung.
The clinical signs and symptoms related to mass effect like seizures, headache and neurological and cognitive deficits.Chemotherapy treatment of brain tumour is done with anti-cancer drugs which are given to destroy or control cancer cells.
Morphological assessment is done by using computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging which is still the workhorse of tumor detection.

Track 6: Stroke and its Management
Stroke occurs when an artery supplying blood to the brain either suddenly becomes blocked or begins to bleed which may result in part of the brain dying or leading to a sudden impairment that can affect a range of activities such as speaking, movement, thinking and communication.
Therapies to prevent recurrent stroke are also a component of acute management which are similar to prophylactic medical or surgical therapies used for patients with transient ischemic attacks and high-risk patients.
The goal of neurosurgery is to restore blood flow to the brain and reduce the risk of stroke.

Track 8: Stroke Rehabilitation and Recovery
Stroke is one of the main leading causes of long term adult disability which is affecting approximately 795,000 people each year in the USA.
Someone who suffered a stroke can improve functions and sometimes remarkable recoveries by early recovery and rehabilitation.
The goal of a stroke rehabilitation program is to help you relearn skills which are lost when stroke affected part of your brain. Stroke rehabilitation can help to regain independence and improve the quality of life.

Track 9: Therapeutic Approaches for Stroke
New therapies for stroke can be developed by understanding the mechanisms of neuronal death which includes the role of excitotoxic neurotransmitters, free radical production and apoptotic pathways.
The cognitive approaches and rehabilitation therapy of stroke are cognitive impairment involves a vast array of difficulties including judgment, memory, attention, problem solving skills, visuospatial deficits, orientation and recovery of memory impairments following stroke.

Track 10: Therapeutic Approaches for Neurological Disorders
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy treatments is one approach for treating primarily behavioral neurological issues and also formerly known as talk therapy.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on reorienting a patient’s thoughts and behavior related to their disability. It has shown considerable effect in the treatment of anxiety, ADHD and other mood disorders and a range of primarily psychogenic impairments.
The other therapeutic methods which are preferred through medications such as the neuroleptics which are used to treat organic disorders of the brain such as schizophrenia to comparatively simple analgesics, such as ibuprofen, acetaminophen and opiates to treat the painful effects of several neurological ailments.

Why Dubai???
Dubai is the most populated city in the UAE with residents of 2.2 million. Dubai is global business city and cultural hub of the Middle East and the Persian Gulf region. It is one of the countries of MENA which has international network of research with higher-education
Institutions, transport, business, communication, events and conference hub bridging healthcare professionals from the seven continents annually to collaborate and exchange knowledge and research.
Every year, more than a million UAE people are spotted with a neurological disorder. Annually 7000-8000 patients in the UAE get a stroke; this means every hour, one person gets a stroke. In a global research conducted by the World Health Organization, Stroke is ranked as the second leading cause of death in the Dubai.
