Title of your Abstract : Review of recently documented clinical neuroprotective and cellular treatment for spinal cord injury: an analysis of outcomes
country : Mumbai/India
From : Thursday, February 27, 2014
To : Saturday, March 01, 2014
Abstract(Please copy/paste the abstract send to the congress) : Abstract: Emergence of new neuroprotective treatments for spinal cord injury (SCI) in recent clinical studies is a matter of great scientific and public interest. Effect size and complication rates are of particular concern. In this study, a search was performed in the PubMed, Scopus, and Scholar Google search engines using the keywords “spinal cord injury”, “cell transplantation” and “neuroprotective”. Clinical studies published in the English language were included. Using the study inclusion criteria, 45 clinically relevant studies were found in which neurologic changes was descriptively reported. Of these, 20 studies with American Spinal Injury Association scale, and sensory and motor reports were included for quantitative review. Overall, these papers show an increment in the number of studies reported since the turn of the century, and recent endeavors in the field have accelerated. To compare newer and older studies, considering sufficient numbers of studies in each group, the year 2010 was identified as the turning point. The mean ± standard deviation change in motor score after treatment was 8.67±3.48 in reports before 2010, and this increased to 8.95±2.78 after 2010. Similarly, the mean change in score for light touch was 9.57±3.63 before 2010 and increased to 10.58±3.06 after 2010. The mean change in score for pinprick sensation improved from 8.36±2.82 before 2010 to 8.39±2.69 after 2010. Our study indicates that cellular and neuroprotective therapies are becoming more popular, and the mean neurologic effect size in terms of light touch shows an increment, paving the pathway for clinical applications to be established in the near future.

What were the responses to your talking points? Were specific questions or concerns raised? : yes, they recomended a multicenter clinical trials as joint collaboration between different research centers and various medical universities
If you met staff members, please list their full names & positions. : Hongyun Huang (China), Honorary President is Geoffrey
Raisman (UK) and other Presidents are Ziad M. Al Zoubi (Jordan) and Hari Shanker Sharma (Sweden), Alok sharma(India), Russel Androws(USA),Gustav Moviglia(Argentina), Doffin Muriciano(Romania)
Please inform us if there are any follow up actions we need to talk with the members of the congress : fortunatly Iran will hold the next meeting in tehran and all the staff members of the congress will be guest of tehran university of medical science.
Hopefully Iran and Tehran Univ. of Medical Sciences was sellected by the direct vote of IANR members to hold the upcomming meeting in 2015 , and the president of the congress would be head of the Iranian Delegate , we are preparing for holding the meeting and organizing the scientific committee of the upcoming congress in tehran, Also there were suggestions for joit activity and multicenter clinical trials.
Your experiences about the travel processes(Providing ticket, accommodation,...) : the trip costs were expensive
Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : The congress was a great success for Islamic Republic of Iran and Tehran Univ. of Med. Sciences. The Iranian Delegate deliberately contributed to the meeting . we had six lectures and 14 abstracts published in the abstract book
It seems that we were able to present a good feature of stem cell research after revolution in Iran 
in various medical fields. The final stakeholders of that would be patients with neurological disabilities.
Especially the pivotal role of islamic replic of iran in future stem cell researches would be a promising issue in the scientific outline of the country.
