Demand Forecasts, Business Cases and Appraisal Methods for Infrastructure Projects (BCPM0022)

Delivered by external infrastructure experts, this module explores different demand drivers, business cases, and appraisal methods in various infrastructure sectors.

Aims:

Provide insight into a range of infrastructure sectors (e.g., transport, energy, water & wastewater, solid waste, telecommunications, and healthcare), their past and future investment programmes, and the specificities of private financing in each sector
	Enhance your understanding of development and business case appraisal for infrastructure projects
Learning Objectives:

You will learn about the drivers of investment demand across infrastructure sectors and how this demand responds to:

Government policy/regulation
	Market demand (changes in preferences, aggregate growth)
	Changes in technology
	Historical investment and emerging global trends

Clinical Module 4: Neurology &amp; Neuroimaging III - Neurodegeneration, Demyelination &amp; Neuromuscular Disease (ANIM0012)

This module aims to give students a broad introductory knowledge of some common, important neurological pathologies and of the role of Neuroimaging in the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of these conditions. The module focuses in particular on Neurodegeneration, Demyelination, Peripheral Nerve & Muscular Disease.

At the end of this module, students will be able to…
1. Neurodegeneration (N)
1.01:                Describe and explain the clinical presentation of Neurodegeneration in terms of the disruption caused to function within the nervous system
1.02:                Demonstrate understanding of the cellular mechanisms and predominantly affected brain regions in: Alzheimer’s Disease (AD); Multisystem Atrophy (MSA); Motor Neuron Disease (MND); Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP); olivo-pontocerebellar atrophy. 
1.03:                Show familiarity with the incidence, age of onset and long term prognosis for each of the above diseases.
1.04:                Identify the role of imaging in the clinical setup as well as the role of special techniques such as fluid registration and VBM.
2. Demyelination (D)
2.01:                Demonstrate an understanding of the role of imaging in the clinical setup for demyelinating diseases
2.02:                List and describe the role of special techniques such as DTI, perfusion, MT, qMT and spectroscopy for demyelinating diseases.
3. Peripheral Nerves & Muscular Disease (PNMD)¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬
3.01:                Describe the pathophysiology and clinical presentation of peripheral nerves and muscle disorder.
3.02:                Identify the role of imaging in the clinical setup, including special techniques such as DTI, MT and qMT
4. Artificial Intelligence in Neuroradiology (MLN)
4.01:                Identify and outline the uses of Artificial Intelligence in the Neuroradiology of Neurodegeneration, Demyelination and Peripheral Nerves and Muscular Diseases
