Young scientists’ section at the “Interdisciplinary Neurology” conference: New ideas and clinical perspectives

Within the framework of the International Scientific and Practical Conference “Interdisciplinary Neurology,” special attention was given to the Young Scientists’ Section. The session included a competition for young researchers aimed at supporting innovative scientific developments and clinical observations in neurology. Submissions were evaluated by a qualified jury composed of Laura Aytzhanovna Sadykova, Gulnara Abdymazhitovna Mustapaeva, and Tatyana Vasilievna Polukchi.
The session program was rich and diverse: presentations covered a wide range of topics—from multisystem atrophy and post-stroke cognitive impairments to rare forms of epilepsy and post-vaccination complications in children. Young researchers from Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Russia presented their clinical observations, experimental studies, and innovative methods for the diagnosis and rehabilitation of patients with neurological disorders.
Particular interest was drawn to reports on modern approaches to surgical and endovascular treatment of strokes and aneurysms, neuroplastic mechanisms of hearing in Parkinson’s disease, as well as studies on cognitive dysfunction and pharmacoresistant epilepsy. The session demonstrated the high level of training of young scientists and their readiness for interdisciplinary collaboration.

The competition results in offline format were as follows:
• 1st place — Farhad Abdukarimovich Alkhanov, PhD student, International Kazakh-Turkish University named after H.A. Yasawi, Turkestan, Kazakhstan;
•  2nd place — Almas Zhenapinov, JSC “Astana Medical University,” Kazakhstan;
•  3rd place — Elmira Sultangalieva, JSC “Astana Medical University,” and the duo Alua Zhumagulova and Zhanerke Erbolov, resident doctors, South Kazakhstan Medical Academy, Shymkent, Kazakhstan.

In the online format, prize places were awarded as follows:
•  1st place — Viktoria Igorevna Petkeyeva, resident, Astrakhan State Medical University, Russia;
•  2nd place — Kunnei Evgenievna Osipova, neurologist, RB №1-NCM named after M.E. Nikolaev, Yakutsk, Russia;
•  3rd place — Artur Samvelovich Melikyan, resident, Astrakhan State Medical University, Russia.
The Young Scientists’ Section became a vivid example of how scientific initiative, clinical experience, and interdisciplinary collaboration open new opportunities for the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of patients with neurological disorders.
