3rd Basic and Clinical Neuroscience Congress was held by IUMS & INSS in Tehran at Razi Convention Center on 29-31 October 2014 in which Dr.Zali gave a speech in the opening ceremony.
Approximately
all groups of Iranian medical doctors and other health care professionals in
relevant disciplines including pediatric neurologists, internists,
neurologists, neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, surgeons, psychiatrists,
specialists in sport medicine, nurses, and the like participated in this scientific
event.
In his opening speech before the 3
Basic and Clinical Neuroscience Congress, Dr. Zali, IRIMC President and
professor of Neurosurgery of Shahid Beheshti Medical University praised
breakthroughs in the field of neuroscience that have been made by Iranian
scientists.
"Since 2008 we have witnessed continued progress in neuroscience both
regionally and globally that has been achieved by national scientists."He
said.
IRIMC President mentioned that there are 4 main approaches in treating patients
with neurological problems:
1)Pharmacotherapy and administrations of medicine in which big strides have
been made;
2)Surgery;
3)Neurological Rehabilitation; and
4)Modern neuroscience approaches that contains nanotechnology application in
this field.
Neuroscience,
nanotechnology, cellular therapy, imaging, and medical devices have undergone
remarkable advances in recent years.
By integrating nanotechnology, material science, biomedical engineering,
electrical engineering, and neuroscience with neurosurgery, novel approaches
can be developed to diagnose and treat a variety of neurological disorders. The
application of nanotechnology in neurosurgery is known as
"Nanoneurosurgery" and its application in neuroscience in general
considered "Nanoneuroscience".
While nanotechnology is still a developing field, has revolutionized
neuroscience and neurosurgery so far.
Addressing
the fact about modern neuroscience, Dr. Zali remarked Iran's impressive and
notable improvements in this field.
