PRESENTATION GOALS
  • 1. Outline the way in which I developed a
    research interest/question and designed a study
    to examine this question
  • Question in Neurosurgery Practice
  • Cerebral Hypoperfusion
  • Relevant Clinical Studies
  • Carotid Endarterectomy
  • Translational Experimental Model
  • Murine model of Bilateral Carotid Artery Stenosis
  • 2. Discuss my pathway to a career in Academic
    Neurosurgery and Translational Science

3
MY RESEARCH
  • Research Question Can modulation of inflammatory
    mediators improve outcomes following Chronic
    Cerebral Hypoperfusion?
  • Approach Examine a clinical problem and develop
    a reproducible laboratory animal model to assess
    mechanism and potential therapies
  • Brain Ischemia
  • Neurocognitive Deficits
  • Inflammatory Modulation

CLINICAL STUDIES COGNITIVE ASSESSMENT
  • Studies have demonstrated that conventional
    neurological assessment is insufficient for
    determining neurocognitive sequelae of CEA
  • Neuropsychometric tests (NPMTs) are sensitive
    measures of cerebral functioning and indicators
    of neurological injury
  • Cognitive decline, not revealed on routine
    examination, can be demonstrated through a
    relevant battery of NPMTs
  • Our group designed a clinical CEA model that
    affords a controlled paradigm in which to
    critically examine the mechanisms of cerebral
    ischemia and resultant cognitive decline

6
CLINICAL STUDIES COGNITIVE ASSESMENT
  • Patients undergoing CEA and lumbar spine surgery
    (control cohort) admitted to the Clinical
    Research Center one day prior to surgery
  • Structured neurological examination and detailed
    NPMT
  • Peripheral serum specimens for baseline
    biochemical marker levels
  • Buccal swab sample was obtained for genetic
    testing

7
CEA AND COGNITIVE DECLINE
  • To determine the incidence of neurocognitive
    decline after CEA
  • Examined the changes in neuropsychological test
    performance in patients following CEA vs. an age
    matched control group undergoing lumbar spine
    surgery

CEA AND COGNITIVE DECLINE
Cognitive dysfunction was seen in 28 of the CEA
group on day 1 and 23 on day 30 Subtle
cognitive decline following CEA is evident
postoperatively and persists for at least
several weeks following surgery. This decline is
absent in the control group

TRANSLATIONAL MODEL BACKGROUND
  • Cognitive impairment and dementia are disabling
    conditions that are increasingly common with
    advancing age.
  • An estimated 5-10 of individuals over
    sixty-five, and 40 of individuals older than
    eighty-five are likely to be affected.
  • Clinical imaging, epidemiological and
    pharmacotherapeutical studies have supported a
    strong association between cortical hypoperfusion
    and cognitive decline and suggest an inflammatory
    mechanism
  • In a clinical CEA model of cerebral
    hypoperfusion, research has demonstrated a
    roughly 25 incidence of subtle cognitive decline
    in the absence of overt neurologic change or
    radiographic evidence of stroke
