SUMMARY

1.   This lecture on the future of neurosurgery and medicine starts from a study of the small vessel disease of lacunar infarctions which is responsible for 20% of all strokes. It is a disease we cannot diagnose with modern technology or treat now. Dr. Ausman outlines how small vessel diseases can be treated in the future using experience from the inflammatory basis of atherosclerosis and the macrophage inflammatory causes of aneurysm formation. There is a common feature of those diseases which can be treated. It is Chronic Inflammation. Chronic Inflammation is also the cause of Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's, and many other diseases in the brain and body. It is the major disease category of the 21st century, and you learn how to treat it, cure it, and increase your patient’s longevity. Most of the diseases today will be gone by the end of the 21st century. Then you will have Space diseases and Space treatments and interplanetary Medicine and diseases. You will be living on other planets or the moon. You will find other civilizations in the universe. What is happening on earth will all change, and your lives will change. Be prepared. 

I gave this lecture over 3 years ago to the neurosurgeons and students in Baghdad and other countries before this. What I said then is still true now (2025) and will be true 10 -20 years or more from now. Maybe by 2100, also.  Small vessel disease involves all organs in the body including the brain, heart, kidneys, extremities, eyes, and more. 7 Tesla MR Angiography shows it, and then people will want to treat it. What is the treatment? Will it be medical, surgical, interventional? Will the answer be muti-disciplinary? Those involved will have a world of patients to treat. There is an answer; find it. I have thought about it and have some ideas, for those interested. Toward the end of this century and into 2100 the disease will disappear as will atherosclerosis, its major cause.
