SUMMARY:Dr. Julio C. Furlan - In the Age of Aging\, what is actually the impact of older age on outcomes after traumatic spinal cord injury?
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nDespite an increasing incidence of traumatic spinal cord injury (tSCI) in the elderly worldwide\, relatively little has been reported to date regarding the role of age on outcomes after tSCI. \nThis series of studies examined the potential effects of older age on: (1) survival\, degree of impairment and disability within the first year after tSCI; (2) neuroinflammatory response to\, oligodentrocyte apoptosis and axonal survival within the spinal cord white matter after tSCI using immunohistopathological examination of post-mortem spinal cord tissue; and (c) economic burden of the initial management of individuals with acute tSCI. \nOverall\, the results of those studies support the notion that older people can potentially have similar benefits of the ongoing translational studies focused on neuroprotective and rehabilitative strategies. Also\, improved protocols for management of older people with tSCI could have a significant impact on their recovery\, which in the long term\, could potentially offset the increased healthcare costs during the initial management of the elderly with tSCI. \nAbout the Speaker\nDr. Furlan is a staff neurologist and a Clinician Investigator in the Division of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and the SCI Rehabilitation Program at the Lyndhurst Centre\, Toronto Rehabilitation Institute\, University Health Network\, and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine\, Division of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation\, University of Toronto. He recently completed five years of residency training in Adult Neurology at University of Toronto in June 2014. Most recently he completed a two-year clinical fellowship in Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair at Toronto Rehabilitation Institute\, Sunnybrook Hospital and the University of Toronto (2014 to June 2016). \nDr Furlan has extensive training and research expertise. He is a trained head and neck surgeon from Brazil\, who holds a MBA degree in Health Administration\, an MSc degree in Clinical Epidemiology\, and a PhD degree in Neuroanatomy. In the past\, Dr. Furlan has worked as an Associate Research Scientist in the Department of Genetics and Development\, Toronto Western Research Institute\, University Health Network from 2007 to 2012. Dr. Furlan has also been an Adjunct Scientist at Toronto Rehabilitation Institute\, University Health Network from 2009-2016\, inclusive. \nDr Furlan´s research has been focused on outcome measures (including clinical assessments\, neuroimaging analysis\, and neurophysiological assessments) and predictors of outcome (including sex and age) after traumatic and non-traumatic spinal cord injury. In addition he has interest and expertise in autonomic dysfunction after spinal cord injury and economic analyses. Dr. Furlan has published 75 peer-reviewed papers and 14 book chapters\, and received 43 awards over the past 15 years.
