7:00 pm Neurosurgery Grand Rounds - What's New In The Treatment of Strokes? -- New developments in understanding brain function and mechanisms of stroke have led to important new advances in the treatment of certain strokes and cerebrovascular disease. Stroke is not one disease, but can be caused by many conditions which effect the cerebral circulation. It is therefore becoming increasingly important to have a multi-disciplinary input into the management of stroke patients to provide optimal care. Neurosurgeons have long been involved in the care of a stroke patient since many of the conditions which can affect the brain and cause stroke involve the cerebrovasculature. We will discuss some of the conditions which involve neurosurgical treatment such as subarachnoid hemorrhage from ruptured aneurysms, intracerebral hemorrhages from aneurysms or arteriovenous malformations, extracranial vascular disease including carotid artery and vertebral artery stenosis, revascularization and bypass procedures, as well as cranial decompression for the treatment of brain swelling. Presentations by Professor Kyra Becker and Dr. David Newell: Kyra Becker, Assistant Professor, Neurology and Neurological Surgery, Co-Director University of Washington Stroke Center at Harborview. Kyra Becker will talk about what is new in the prevention and treatment of stroke. This includes recent data on what can be done to prevent first ever strokes as well as what can be done to prevent recurrent strokes. She will also talk about what therapies are proven to increase the odds of having a good outcome in acute stroke and offer speculation about the future of stroke therapy and discuss the studies that are in progress. David W. Newell, M.D., Assoc. Professor and Director, Cerebrovascular Laboratory, Director, UW Stroke Center at Harborview Medical Center. David Newell may include an actual patient and/or a demonstration of the special Ultrasound equipment used to detect and map stroke activity.

Find out how studying the ocean right off the coast of Washington could be a key in exploring the seas of Europa in search of extraterrestrial life -- life that scientists speculate could be like the microorganisms flourishing in the deepest regions of our own oceans.

10:00 pm What Follows - Doug Jeck -- The ceramic figures of Doug Jeck are fragmented, dismembered, defeated and highly realistic. Their poses allude to Greek and Roman statuary but Jeck cuts off arms and legs, sometimes reattaching a replacement hand, but more frequently leaving the figure without some of its limbs. With his composite figures Jeck illustrates that there is no single original and therefore there is no heroic paradigm. This suggests that any attempts to imply the heroic could merely be social intervention. Doug Jeck received his B.F.A. from the Appalachian Center for the Arts and Crafts, his M.F.A from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and is an Assistant Professor of Ceramic Art at the University of Washington in Seattle. Program runs 35:24.

6:00 pm Neurosurgery Grand Rounds - What's New In The Treatment of Strokes? -- New developments in understanding brain function and mechanisms of stroke have led to important new advances in the treatment of certain strokes and cerebrovascular disease. Stroke is not one disease, but can be caused by many conditions which effect the cerebral circulation. It is therefore becoming increasingly important to have a multi-disciplinary input into the management of stroke patients to provide optimal care. Neurosurgeons have long been involved in the care of a stroke patient since many of the conditions which can affect the brain and cause stroke involve the cerebrovasculature. We will discuss some of the conditions which involve neurosurgical treatment such as subarachnoid hemorrhage from ruptured aneurysms, intracerebral hemorrhages from aneurysms or arteriovenous malformations, extracranial vascular disease including carotid artery and vertebral artery stenosis, revascularization and bypass procedures, as well as cranial decompression for the treatment of brain swelling. Presentations by Professor Kyra Becker and Dr. David Newell: Kyra Becker, Assistant Professor, Neurology and Neurological Surgery, Co-Director University of Washington Stroke Center at Harborview. Kyra Becker will talk about what is new in the prevention and treatment of stroke. This includes recent data on what can be done to prevent first ever strokes as well as what can be done to prevent recurrent strokes. She will also talk about what therapies are proven to increase the odds of having a good outcome in acute stroke and offer speculation about the future of stroke therapy and discuss the studies that are in progress. David W. Newell, M.D., Assoc. Professor and Director, Cerebrovascular Laboratory, Director, UW Stroke Center at Harborview Medical Center. David Newell may include an actual patient and/or a demonstration of the special Ultrasound equipment used to detect and map stroke activity. He will also cover recent developments in the treatment of strokes. Recorded July 22, 1998 at Harborview Hospital.

This activity will prompt children to understand new words and discover better ways to express themselves.
