SUMMARY:Spinal cord injury in dogs: a natural model and an opportunity - P
 aul Freeman\, Department of Veterinary Medicine
DTSTART:20220310T160000Z

UID:TALK170645@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Kirsty Shepherd
DESCRIPTION:In this talk Paul Freeman will describe the pathophysiology an
 d principles of treatment of intervertebral disc disease in dogs\, a very 
 common and naturally occurring cause of often severe and sometimes irrever
 sible spinal cord injury. Treatment of this disease is controversial\, and
  the focus of Paul’s research is an attempt to answer some of those cont
 roversies and provide an improved framework for management of such cases. 
 The talk will attempt to illustrate the current state of evidence and some
  of the difficulties in interpreting this\, in particular with respect to 
 the most severe grade of injury. Electrical stimulation has been used for 
 many years in human spinal cord disease\, and currently Paul is involved i
 n a project which aims to develop a novel mode of stimulation with the pot
 ential to cause spinal cord regeneration\, although the engineering challe
 nges are not insignificant. Paul will finish with a brief mention of a fur
 ther project in collaboration with Prof George Malliaras’ lab\, aimed at
  an improved delivery of chemotherapeutic agents into brain tumours.’
