SUMMARY:SAVC: Neuroscience for high performance resilience in a chaotic world
DESCRIPTION:Subject: Neuroscience for high performance resilience in a chaotic world\nSpeakers: Dr Etienne van der Walt\nOrganizer: SAVC\nEvent Link: REGISTER HERE \nThe current global ecosystem is rapidly paced. It is also riddled with a number of ‘pandemics’: The ‘Mental Pandemic’ is rife\, causing a steep increase in depression\, anxiety\, addictions and suicide. Burnout is now known as a medical syndrome and is affecting ever increasing numbers of employees and leaders globally. The ‘Great Resignation’ and increased staff turnover\, demands a new way of thinking about the way we design our business ecosystems. This is also true for the veterinary profession who have additional challenges of compassion fatigue\, small business challenges and unrealistic expectations from their clients. In this keynote\, neurologist and CEO of Neurozone\, Dr Etienne van der Walt will provide a perspective on the global factors contributing to burnout and mental health challenges. He will unpack the nature of psychobiological resilience and then translate it for practical application in today’s world. Etienne will provide a framework for collective resilience that may well be the antidote for burnout and even the mental pandemic. In the process he will highlight the most important themes that underpin high-performance resilience\, always simplifying the complex from biological neuroscience to personal self-leadership application. Then Etienne will anchor the practical drivers of resilient\, high performance such as sleep\, exercise\, nutrition\, social safety\, psychological safety\, mindset\, mindfulness and high-performance energy for practical individual and team integration\, to enable veterinary professionals to unlock the best version of themselves and their people they lead. \nAbout our Speaker: Dr Etienne van der Walt \nBSc\, BMedSc\, MBChB\, MMed (Neurology) \nNeurozone\, Cape Town\, South Africa \nEtienne is an accomplished neurologist and an authority in applied behavioral neuroscience. Etienne’s 14-year career as a clinical neurologist means he has a deep understanding of the anatomy\, biology\, and physiology of the brain and the human nervous system. In more recent years\, his professional and personal fascination with the remarkable discoveries coming from the various brain sciences has led him to believe in the vast potential of this new knowledge to enhance human capacity. The realization of this vision is the founding of Cape Town based Neurozone ®\, a neuroscience business dedicated to the application of brain science\, analytics and coaching to enhance human capacity. At the heart of the business of Neurozone ® is a proprietary High-Performance Code that informs leaders about the most current behavioral predictors for resilient and high-performance ready individuals\, teams and organizations. The Code draws on research from neuroscience\, psychology\, psychiatry etc. and its impact has been validated and is currently being used in various industries to enhance human capacity by focusing on the brain/body system. As a result\, Etienne has developed a keen understanding of the neurobiological substrates\, principles and insights that underpin team and organizational performance. This knowledge enables Etienne to blend a variety of subjects into an integrated whole for practical application. Etienne is the founder of AmazingBrainz™\, an organization dedicated to the design of programs for the brain stimulation of young\, developing children – especially in disadvantaged communities. Etienne worked as a neurologist in South Africa\, the UK\, and the Netherlands. As an avid keynote speaker and masterclass teacher\, Etienne engages with senior leaders\, where individual\, team and organizational resilience and optimizing human capacity takes center stage. In addition to his Medical and Clinical Neurology degrees\, Etienne also holds BSc degrees in Chemistry\, Mathematical Statistics as well as Integrated Physiology and Virology. \n\n

SUMMARY:Latest research: Multimin promotes disease resilience in newly received beef calves
DESCRIPTION:Subject: Latest research: Multimin promotes disease resilience in newly received beef calves\nSpeakers: Prof. Stephanie Hansen\nOrganizer: Virbac\nEvent Link: REGISTER HERE \nInjectable trace mineral improves immune response and outcome of Mannheimia haemolytica infection in feedlot steers. \nTrace minerals like selenium\, copper\, zinc\, and manganese are essential for immune function\, and Multimin90\, an injectable trace mineral product\, has been shown to enhance immunity during vaccination. This study aimed to assess its impact on steers during respiratory illness. Thirty-two Angus-crossbred steers were assigned to three treatments: control (saline)\, Multimin90 pre-infection (ITMPRE)\, and Multimin90 post-infection (ITMPOST). Steers were challenged with M. haemolytica and treated with tulathromycin. Clinical scores were lower in ITM-treated groups compared to controls\, though rectal temperatures peaked similarly across all groups. Increased gamma delta T cell and natural killer cell frequencies were noted in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) from ITM-treated steers. No negative impacts on disease outcomes were observed\, suggesting that Multimin90 supports lung immune responses without compromising health. \nAbout our Speaker \nStephanie Hansen is a Professor in the Department of Animal Science at Iowa State University. An Iowa native\, she earned her B.S. from Iowa State and her M.S. and Ph.D. from North Carolina State University. With over 100 peer-reviewed publications and over 11 million dollars in funding as Co-PI or P.I.\, she has established an original and impactful beef cattle research program. A major focus of her program is the refinement of mineral requirements for feedlot cattle. She has received early or mid-career awards in research from Iowa State University\, the Midwest section of ASAS\, and ASAS. Dr. Hansen is passionate about training the next generation of animal scientists. She teaches courses in animal nutrition\, ruminant nutrition\, and micronutrient metabolism. She also co-hosts a podcast on graduate mentoring called Mentoring Matters and the Beef Podcast Show. Graduates of her program are serving industry and academia. She enjoys hiking\, photography and writes crime thrillers as well. \nWe look forward to seeing you online. \nProudly hosted by Virbac
