1 Joseph P. Van Der Meulen Symposium in Clinical Neuroscience Multiple Sclerosis: Current Treatments and Future Promise Saturday, May 12, 2012 Louis B. Mayer Auditorium USC Health Sciences Campus Los Angeles, California presented by Office of Continuing Medical Education and the Department of Neurology
2 JOSEPH P. VAN DER MEULEN, M.D. The annual Joseph P. Van Der Meulen Symposium in Clinical Neuroscience honors Dr. Van Der Meulen, former Chairman of the Department of Neurology at the University of Southern California, for his contributions to the development of clinical and basic neuroscience. Dr. Van Der Meulen continues at USC as Professor of Neurology and Vice President for Health Affairs, Emeritus. Dr. Van Der Meulen was born in Boston, Massachusetts and educated at the Public Latin School and Boston College before receiving his M.D. from Boston University. He completed an internal medicine internship at Bellevue Hospital (Cornell Service) in New York and received his neurology training at the Harvard Neurological Unit of the Boston City Hospital under Dr. Derek Denny-Brown. He subsequently spent two years at the Karolinska Institute studying neurophysiology with Professor Ragnar Granit, a Nobel Laureate. After serving on the faculty at Harvard and Case-Western Reserve, Dr. Van Der Meulen joined the Department of Neurology at USC in 1971, serving as Chairman until He served as Vice President for Health Affairs ( ), and Director of the Independent Health Professions ( ). During his tenure as Chairman of Neurology, he restructured the department and initiated the development of neuroscience. He served as Dean of the School of Medicine in 1985 and 1986 and as Interim Dean from In addition to his organizational and administrative contributions, he has continued to teach and practice clinical neurology. His continuing activities on behalf of the medical community, the USC family, and the development of clinical and basic neurosciences make him a leader in education, health care, and research in the United States. NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND COURSE DESCRIPTION Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a complex neurological disease that has been diagnosed in approximately 400,000 individuals in the United States, with worldwide estimates of 1.2 million, and rising. It is the most common cause of nontraumatic disability in young adults and is typically diagnosed between the ages of although diagnoses at younger and older ages are not uncommon. Economic costs of this disease are estimated at $10 billion annually. Although the cause of MS is unknown, it is believed that an autoimmune attack on myelin in the central nervous system is triggered by environmental factors in genetically 1 susceptible individuals. Clinically, MS can take one of several forms, from a relatively mild relapsing-remitting form, to rapidly progressive disease. Symptoms, disease course, and treatment response are variable and at this point largely unpredictable, presenting challenges to recognition and management. Research in the area of biomarkers is beginning to shed light on some 2 3 of these areas. Multiple clinical trials have shown that early diagnosis and treatment of MS can delay disability. To this end, 4 the diagnostic criteria have been modified to incorporate MRI data which facilitate accurate diagnosis as early as possible. New insights into epidemiology, genetics, pathogenesis and treatment have been emerging at a rapid pace. New state-of-the art MRI techniques have facilitated earlier diagnosis and have contributed to a better understanding of inflammatory and 5 neurodegenerative characteristics of the disease. Genetic, epidemiologic and immunologic studies have provided new information about risk factors for developing MS, susceptibility to different forms of MS, and may also assist in predicting 6,7,8,9 response to currently approved disease modifying drugs. New research efforts have provided information about the role 10,11 of race and ethnicity in disease presentation and activity, and have revealed special characteristics of MS in children. MS is unique among many neurological diseases in that many disease modifying drugs are available that are capable of controlling inflammation and delaying neurodegenerative disease progression. Promising new disease modifying drugs are currently being 12 tested in clinical trials which have resulted in FDA applications, and several new strategies to promote neural repair and 13 regeneration are being explored, including those that use or target stem cells. Given the rapid pace of discovery and the changing armamentarium for treatment it is essential for neurologists and other caretakers to be well informed in order to translate these advances to best clinical practice.
