Program: Twenty Fourth Annual Symposium on Etiology, Pathogenesis, and Treatment of Parkinson's Disease and Other Movement Disorders

MOVEMENT DISORDERS, Issue 6 2010
Article first published online: 26 APR 2010
The symposium will consist of current issues in genetic and environmental contributions to Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders with peer-reviewed platform and poster presentations designed to communicate recent research advances, including new pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment options, in the field of Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, ataxia, dystonia, myoclonus, Tourette's syndrome, tremor and other movement disorders thereby enhancing patient care.

Program: Twenty Third Annual Symposium on Etiology, Pathogenesis, and Treatment of Parkinson's Disease and Other Movement Disorders

MOVEMENT DISORDERS, Issue 12 2009
Article first published online: 11 SEP 200
The symposium will consist of two keynote speakers and peer-reviewed platform and poster presentations designed to communicate recent research advances, including new pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment options, in the field of Parkinson's disease, Huntington disease, ataxia, dystonia, myoclonus, Tourette's syndrome, Essential Tremor and other movement disorders thereby enhancing patient care. Professionals in neurology and related disciplines as well as practitioners, psychologists, educators, and researchers are invited to attend. The gaps in clinical practice we wish to address are the unmet needs pertaining to the translational and clinical evaluation, along with the care and treatment of patients and families affected by Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders. At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to: 1) Identify and describe by scholarly review, oral presentation and group discussion the current research into the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) and Essential Tremor (ET) which may be relevant to current treatment or which may lead to the development of further research protocols; 2) Distinguish and assess the important advances in research and clinical treatments relating to Parkinson's disease and Essential Tremor in terms of available treatment options or new methodologies for clinical research; 3) Explain new pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment options available for Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders in connection with their clinical practice or with regard to further clinical research methods; 4) Interpret the mechanisms (genetic, environmental, pathophysiology, neurobiology) linked to Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders when assessing Parkinson's disease or other movement disorder patients or when developing new research protocols; and 5) Employ diagnostic approaches and tools available for assessing Parkinson's disease and Essential Tremor when diagnosing new patients or when conducting clinical research.

History of Process Safety

PROCESS SAFETY PROGRESS, Issue 2 2009
A history of process safety, loss prevention in the American Institute of Chemical Engineers
Abstract Process safety has always been an important consideration in chemical engineering, and the activities of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) have expanded over the years to more formally focus on this critical aspect of chemical engineering practice. Early initiatives included the annual symposia on Safety in Ammonia and Related Plants, dating back to the early 1950s, and the Loss Prevention Symposium, first held in 1967. These activities led to the formation of the AIChE's Safety and Health Division in 1979, and the division assumed responsibility for these existing programming activities. Following the Bhopal tragedy in India, AIChE formed the Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS) in 1985 as an industry alliance to share and enhance process safety expertise in the industry. One of the early CCPS activities was the creation of the Safety and Chemical Engineering Education (SACHE) program to enhance teaching of process safety in the university chemical engineering curriculum. © 2009 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Process Saf Prog, 2009 [source]


Technology for independence: a community-based resource center,

BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES & THE LAW, Issue 1 2003
Peter Blanck Ph.D.
Despite the prominence of the disability civil rights model,with its values of inclusion and empowerment,the majority of social and policy research conducted to date has not sufficiently included the perspective of persons with disabilities in the research process and as uniquely qualified researchers themselves. This article describes a new project, "Technology for Independence: A Community-Based Resource Center" (CBRC). Over a five-year period, the CBRC will attempt to enhance community and consumer-directed disability organizations to design, implement, and disseminate research that promotes access to and use of assistive technology (AT). The CBRC will use strategies such as leadership training, participatory action research, technical assistance, web- assisted training, and annual symposia. A primary goal of the CBRC is to increase the capacity of community organizations to conduct research on AT that is scientifically rigorous and relevant to disability services, policy, and law.

Alan Greenspan on the Economic Implications of Population Aging

POPULATION AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW, Issue 4 2004
Article first published online: 15 DEC 200
At the 2004 annual symposium of central bank leaders sponsored by the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City at Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Alan Greenspan, Chairman of the US Federal Reserve Board, devoted his opening remarks on 27 August to a discussion of the economic implications of population aging. The full text of his remarks is reproduced below. Greenspan's high prestige and great influence on US economic policy lend special interest to his views on this much-discussed subject (see also the next Documents item in this issue). He outlines the coming demographic shift in the United States in language that is characteristically cautious and qualified. (The elderly dependency ratio will "almost certainly" rise as the baby boom generation retires, Greenspan says, although elsewhere he terms the process, more accurately, inexorable.) The main factor responsible for population aging he identifies as the decline of fertility. Immigration is an antidote, but, to be effective, its size would have to be much larger than is envisaged in current projections. Greenspan's assessment of the economic consequences of the changing age structure highlights the prospect of a deteriorating fiscal situation in the United States: chronic deficits in the Social Security program over the long haul, assuming that existing commitments for benefits per retiree are met, and even greater difficulties for the health care system for the elderly,Medicare,in which the effects of increasing numbers in old age are amplified by advances in medical technology and the bias inherent in the current system of subsidized third-party payments. The sober outline of policy choices imposed by population aging,difficult in the United States, but less so, Greenspan notes, than in Europe and Japan,underlies the need for counteracting the declining growth of the population of labor force age through greater labor force participation and later retirement. Beyond that, growth of output per worker can provide the key "that would enable future retirees to maintain their expected standard of living without unduly burdening future workers." This requires continuation of policies that enhance productivity, such as deregulation and globalization, and greater investment. In turn, the latter presupposes greater domestic saving, both personal and by the government, as the United States cannot "continue indefinitely to borrow saving from abroad." Demographic aging requires a new balance between workers and retirees. Curbing benefits once bestowed is difficult: only benefits that can be delivered should be promised. Public programs should be recalibrated, providing incentives for individuals to adjust to the inevitable consequences of an aging society. [source]
