Workshop organized by The Danish Foundation TrygFonden

How do we increase efficiency of acute treatment and avoid disability or death after stroke?

Attend the workshop and join in the discussion as to how we can increase rates of acute treatments and post-stroke function and survival rate. The purpose is to collect ideas for new initiatives, and the questions up for discussion will be:

• How do we engage the population to familiarize themselves with the early symptoms and call 1-1-2?

• How can the prehospital system be used and improved for even more effective treatment of stroke patients?

• How do we create increased focus on stroke research to generate new methods and initiatives that can protect the brain and improve post-stroke function and survival?

Prior to the discussion there will be brief presentations:

• Experiences of engaging with the Swedish population by Professor Bo Norrving, MD, Neurologist, University of Lund, Sweden

• Status in the field of stroke in Denmark by Professor Grethe Andersen, MD, Neurologist, Danish Stroke Centre, Aarhus University Hospital

• What can we learn from developments in resuscitation in Denmark? by Anders Hede, Head of Research, Tryg Foundation

Workshop Friday August 09.00 - 10.30

New speaker: Mathias Gelderblom obtained his M.D. from the Universitaet Kiel, School of Medicine, Kiel, Germany. As a graduate student he was trained in the laboratory of Professor Steven Waxman, Center for Neuroscience and Regeneration Research, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, CT, USA. Dr. Gelderblom then started his residency in Neurology at the University Hospital Hamburg Eppendorf, Department of Neurology, Hamburg, Germany. Mathias Gelderblom is currently employed as Clinician Scientist and Clinical Attending at the Department of Neurology, University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf.

New speaker: Kristian L Kraglund is a PhD-student at the dept. of neurology and earned his MD from Aarhus University in 2011. He is currently besides his research in a specialist training programme in neurology. From 2013 he has worked as the study director of the TALOS (CITAlopram in acute Stroke). This randomised, controlled trial has been completed and is part of his PhD; more than 600 ischemic stroke patients were included in the trial in the early phase after stroke onset. The focus on his research is on serotonin and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors in strokes. His main interest in this field is especially in the potential effects of SSRI in the vascular system (e.g. platelet-inhibition) and the neuroprotective effects in improving rehabilitation.

15/06/2017

New speaker: Nina Kerting Iversen holds a PhD in Animal Physiology from 2012 from Institute of Bioscience, Aarhus University. Since then, she has been working at the Center of Functionally Integrative Neuroscience, CFIN at the Institute of Clinical Medicine, Aarhus University first as a post doc and later as an Assistant Professor. In addition, she is the daily leader of the Two-Photon Microscopy Pre-clinical Laboratory. Her main research interest is in translational acute ischemic stroke and further how the flow dynamics in the microvasculature affects the oxygen extraction and thereby the survival of the tissue.
