DESCRIPTION:In this talk Paul Freeman will describe the pathop
 hysiology and principles of treatment of intervert
 ebral disc disease in dogs\, a very common and nat
 urally occurring cause of often severe and sometim
 es irreversible spinal cord injury. Treatment of t
 his disease is controversial\, and the focus of Pa
 ul’s research is an attempt to answer some of thos
 e controversies and provide an improved framework 
 for management of such cases. The talk will attemp
 t 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 fo
 r many years in human spinal cord disease\, and cu
 rrently Paul is involved in a project which aims t
 o develop a novel mode of stimulation with the pot
 ential to cause spinal cord regeneration\, althoug
 h the engineering challenges are not insignificant
 . Paul will finish with a brief mention of a furth
 er project in collaboration with Prof George Malli
 aras’ lab\, aimed at an improved delivery of chemo
 therapeutic agents into brain tumours.’
