Track 2: Neurology, Nursing and Neurological Disorders
Neurology is the enclosure of medical research and practices that devoirs disorders and issues of the nervous system, including the brain. Doctors specialized in diagnosing patients and their problems whereas neurology nurses are one who trained to aid these doctors in the treatment of patients with neurological issues. Neurology nurse deals with giving both post-operative care and immediate care. Various conditions Like Parkinson’s disease, brain tumors, encephalitis, multiple sclerosis and meningitis, as well as those who have suffered from trauma, such as stroke victims and those who have had spinal or brain.
Neurological disorders are the disease that primarily disturbs the neurons of human brain. Neurons don’t reproduce themselves; hence once they get damaged they can’t be more replaced by the body. Huntington’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease are the examples of neurological diseases.

Track 5: Neuropsychiatry and Psychology
Neuropsychiatry is a branch of medicine that agreements with mental disorders attributable to diseases of the nervous system. It headed the current disciplines of psychiatry and neurology, which had mutual training. Nevertheless, neuropsychiatry has developed a growing subspecialty of psychiatry and it is also thoroughly related to the fields of neuropsychology and behavioural neurology.
Psychology is the science of behaviour and mind, counting conscious and unconscious phenomena, as well as feeling and thought. It is an academic discipline of enormous scope and various interests that, when taken together; pursue an understanding of the emergent properties of brains, and all the variety of epiphenomena they manifest. As a social science it intentions to understand individuals and groups by establishing general principles and researching precise cases.

Track 6: Stroke & Its Prevention
Stroke happens when the supply of blood to the brain is either hindered or decreased. At the point when this happens, the brain does not get enough oxygen or supplements, which causes brain cell to die. Stroke will probably influence individuals if they are overweight, aged 55 or older, have an individual or family history of stroke, drink vigorously, smoke, or utilize illegal medications.
The most ideal approach to keep a stroke is to address the hidden causes. This is done by living restoratively, which implies having a healthy diet, keeping up a solid weight, exercising frequently, Avoiding liquor or drink moderately.

Track 7: Pediatrics’ Stroke and Recovery
Pediatric stroke is a stroke that happens in children or adolescents. Stroke marks about 6 in 100,000 children. Stroke is a chief cause of death in children in the U.S.
Stroke is diverse in children and new-borns than it is in adults. Children have hemorrhagic strokes as often as they have ischemic strokes, while adults are more likely to have ischemic strokes. Sixty per cent of pediatric strokes happen in boys. Causes of stroke are also different in children than they are in adults.

Track 8: Neuroscience and Neuroimaging
Neuroscience is that the scientific study of the nervous system. It is an interdisciplinary science that combines and draws on multiple fields, from molecules to medicine. Neuroscience is that the study of how the nervous system develops, its structure, and what it does. Neuroscientists specialise in the brain and its impact on behaviour and cognitive functions. Not only is neuroscience concerned with the normal functioning of the nervous system, but also what happens to the nervous system when people have neurological, psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders. Neuroscience is usually mentioned within the plural, as neurosciences.
Neuroimaging is the discipline that deals with the in vivo depiction of anatomy and function of the central nervous system (CNS) in health and disease. Neuroimaging encompasses the varied techniques wont to image the structure of the brain, and it is relevant to some health science disciplines, where it's an excellent impact on the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of neurological diseases.

Track 9: Stroke and Cerebral Haemorrhage
A haemorrhagic stroke that happens inside your brain is also called an intracerebral haemorrhage. Symptoms of an ICH can differ from person to person, but they’re almost always present immediately after the stroke occurs.
There are two likely causes of a ruptured blood vessel in the brain. The most mutual cause is an aneurysm. An aneurysm happens when a section of a blood vessel becomes enlarged from chronic and dangerously high blood pressure or when a blood vessel wall is feeble, which is usually congenital. This ballooning hints to thinning of the vessel wall, and ultimately to a rupture.

Track 12: Alzheimer’s and Dementia
Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease aren’t the same. Dementia is an overall term used to describe symptoms that impact memory, performance of daily activities, and communication abilities. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia. Alzheimer’s disease gets worse with time and affects memory, language, and thought. Dementia is a syndrome, not a disease. A syndrome is a group of symptoms that doesn’t have a definitive diagnosis. Dementia is a group of symptoms that affects mental cognitive tasks such as memory and reasoning. Dementia is an umbrella term that Alzheimer’s disease can fall under. It can occur due to a variety of conditions, the most common of which is Alzheimer’s disease.

Track 15: Brain Tumors
A brain tumor happens when abnormal cells form within the brain. There are two main types of tumors: cancerous tumours or malignant and benign tumors. Cancerous tumors can be separated into primary tumors that start within the brain, and secondary tumors that have blow-out from elsewhere, known as brain metastasis tumors. All types of brain tumors may yield symptoms that vary liable on the part of the brain involved. These symptoms may comprise headaches, seizures, problems with vision, vomiting, and mental changes. The headache is characteristically worse in the morning and goes away with vomiting. Other symptoms may comprise difficulty walking, speaking, or with sensations. As the disease progresses, unconsciousness may happen.

Track 17: Infection & Diagnosis of Stoke
Acute and chronic infectious diseases are considered as risk factors for stroke other than established risk factors. Basically, acute respiratory tract infection and urinary tract infections independently increase the risk of Ischemic stroke. Within three days of infection, the risk for Ischemic stroke is shown to be higher and the risk gradually decreases when time interval between infection and stroke increases.
Stroke patients should be treated at hospital three hours prior to the first symptom. The best methods of diagnosis are Physical examination, Blood tests, CT scan, MRI scan.

Track 20: Stroke and its Management
A stroke is a restorative crisis. Strokes occur when blood stream to your mind stops. Inside minutes, cerebrum cells twitch to kick the bucket. There are two sorts of stroke. The more normal kind, called ischemic stroke, is created by a blood coagulation that squares or supplements a vein in the cerebrum. The other kind, called hemorrhagic stroke, is got on by a vein that breaks and seeps into the cerebrum.

Track 21: Heart Failure and Brain Health
A chronic, progressive condition in which the heart muscle is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs for blood and oxygen is termed as Heart Failure.
The heart pumps 20% of blood to brain and brain receives oxygen through 20% blood. If heart failure happens, the blood supply or oxygen to the brain will be reduced and thereby memory loss happens.
According to the new study, heart failure is directly associated with loss of grey matter in the brain which is associated with memory, reasoning and planning. It has been proven that many heart failure patients had bad long time or immediate memory. If any damages occur in heart or blood vessels, the blood supply to brain will be collapsed.
