Title : Advances in Neurosurgery- Glimpses of the Role of Technology in the Operating Room
Abstract : There has been rapid advancements in the use of technology in the operating room by neurosurgeons all over the world. The nature of the biology of the central nervous system in humans is such that being permanent cells, the neurons do not regenerate. Neurosurgeons have been aware of the critical nature and biology of the tissues they deal with and have therefore been at the forefront in adapting new technology to benefit their patients. The technological revolution in neurosurgery has been fueled as much by the developments in computer technology and connectivity as by the advancements in material science and precision engineering. The seminar deals with the use of certain available equipment to demonstrate how clinicians and surgeons have adapted technology to positively impact and improve the lives of their patients.
Bio-sketch : Dr.
Dibyendu K Ray M.S., M.Ch. (Neurosurgery) is a Senior Neurosurgeon Consultant at AMRI Hospital. Prior to starting his neurosurgical
practice, he was working as an Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery at the
Bangur Institute of Neurosciences, Kolkata, the apex institute for neurosurgical
training in the state. After receiving his basic medical training from R G Kar
Medical College Kolkata, Dr. Ray completed his post graduation in surgery from
University of Rajasthan and then went on to achieve his postdoctoral degree in
neurosurgery from the PGIMER, Chandigarh. Thereafter he trained in the USA at
the University of Virginia, the Oregon Health Science University, and the
University of Illinois College of Medicine at Peoria. Subsequently he qualified
for the Diploma of the European Society of the Minimally Invasive Neurologic
Therapy and the Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. Despite
his busy clinical schedule, he has published several articles in peer reviewed
journals and has several book chapters to his credit. He is serving as the Honorary President of the Society for Systems Biology & Translational Research (SSBTR).

Title : Novel
Nanofluidic Mechanism and Computational
Model of the Brain Water Metabolism
Abstract : Brain
water metabolism ensures the processes of cellular communication,
transit of the signaling molecules, neurotransmitters, cytokines and
substrates, participates in the clearance of pathogenic metabolites.
Many neurological conditions that present serious clinical problems
arise from altered fluid flow (e.g. Alzheimer’s disease, idiopathic
normal pressure hydrocephalus, migraine, traumatic brain injury and
stroke). At present, the orthodox theory fails to explain the
accumulated experimental evidence and clinical data on the brain
water metabolism. Modeling becomes an important approach to testing
current theories and developing new working mechanisms.
A
novel computational model of brain water metabolism has been
developed and explored. Using an interdisciplinary approach the
long-recognized nano-dimentionality of the brain interstitial space is
viewed as a nano-fluidic domain with the fluid flow there governed by
the slip-flow principles of nano-fluidics. Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) of the
astrocyte endfeet membranes ensures kinetic control over water
movement across the blood-brain barrier. The pulsatory intracranial
pressure presents the driving force behind the transcapillary water
flow. The model demonstrates good predictability in respect to some
physiological features of brain water metabolism and relevance in
explaining clinical conditions. The model may find its use in
neuro-biological research, development of the AQP4-targeted drug
therapy, optimization of the intrathecal drug delivery to the brain
tumours, in a research on a broad spectrum of
water-metabolic-disorder-related conditions.
Bio-sketch :
Professor Ernst Titovets, M.D., Ph.D. holds a position of Professor at
the Department of Neurosurgery, Republican Research and Clinical Center
of Neurology and Neurosurgery, Minsk, Belarus. He is a researcher,
author, translator and interpreter was born in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia. He
graduated from the Minsk State Medical Institute and undertook
post-graduate research in biochemistry. He earned his Ph. D. degree from
the Academy of Sciences of Belarus for his research on endergonic
transport of Ca++ by the mitochondria. His Doctor of Sciences Degree in
biology he obtained from the St. Petersburg State University, Russia for
his pioneering research on the biochemical action mechanism of new
amino derivatives of orthobenzoquinone. Appointed to a number of
scientific research councils, he has authored or co-authored four
research books, 14 patents and over 400 research papers and as an
interpreter, he translated three books. As an Author, he wrote a book
Oswald: Russian Episode that has appeared in three editions. The book
presents an in deep historic investigation of life of Lee Harvey Oswald,
an alleged assassin of the President John Kennedy. Currently he is
concentrated on a research on brain water metabolism and related issues
conducted from the nanofluidic approach. He is a principal researcher,
at the Republican Research and Clinical Centre of Neurology and
Neurosurgery in Minsk, Belarus where he heads a scientific research
group.
