Following on from its predecessors over the last ten years, Berlin 2012 will provide a unique event for the exchange of scientific and clinical research. It will be a unique platform to facilitate interactions between patients, medical doctors, scientists, health professionals and professionals representing the pharmaceutical industry both from Europe and from around the world. In addition to this, EULAR 2012 will once again welcome delegates from the Paediatric Rheumatology European Society (PReS) to a Joint Congress. The EULAR Congress will offer a wide range of topics including clinical innovations, clinical translational and basic science sessions. In addition there will be meetings organised by people with arthritis, by health professionals and by the health care industry at large. The central activity of the congress will be now famous poster presentations and tours with their highly interactive exchanges among participants. The Berlin event will further strengthen the reputation of the EULAR Congress as a highly innovative and informative venue for clinical and translational researchers, not only within the different facets of the discipline (i.e. pain, bone, mechanical and inflammatory disorders specialists) but also for practicing physicians who will find up-to-date information on the management of diseases commonly seen in their daily rheumatological practices. http://www.wisepress.com/index.asp?PageKind=Exhibition&ID=59363955 http://www.wisepress.com/index.asp?PageKind=Exhibition&ID=59363955 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 11:12:00 +0100 The European Confederation of Neuropathological Societies (Euro-CNS) and the British Neuropathological Society (BNS) are proud to present their 10th European Congress of Neuropathology. The scientific programme will consist of keynote plenary lectures from leading neuropathologists and neuroscientists, parallel symposia sessions, workshops and debates on recent progress in diagnostic practice and neuroscience relevant to neuropathology. Scientific poster sessions will be the main approach to scientific exchange yet the entire course is designed to spark discussion at every turn. This is a highly specialised meeting and attracts only the leading experts from the field of neuropathology. http://www.wisepress.com/index.asp?PageKind=Exhibition&ID=38642520 http://www.wisepress.com/index.asp?PageKind=Exhibition&ID=38642520 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 11:13:00 +0100 This year is the 22nd meeting of the European Neurological Society (ENS) and the aim of the organisers has been, once again, to provide participants with an outstanding programme, balancing scientific excellence with high-quality clinical practice. The ENS Meetings have long been an ideal venue for continuing education in all branches of neurology, from teaching courses to workshops, and foster the exchange of new research between academic neurologists and neuroscientists in the symposia, satellite symposia and free communications, which cover the full spectrum of neurology and related fields. Furthermore, in the conference exhibition, diagnostic, pharmaceutical and other related companies from all over the world will be given the opportunity to showcase their products, services and new technical solutions. It provides a valuable forum to share practical aspects and to discuss recent advances and future trends. The ENS is the most prominent society of neurologists in European, with membership drawn from 60 countries worldwide, and this year the organisers are expecting a record attendance of over 3,500 specialists. http://www.wisepress.com/index.asp?PageKind=Exhibition&ID=52597868 http://www.wisepress.com/index.asp?PageKind=Exhibition&ID=52597868 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 11:12:00 +0100 Anaesthesiology is a well-recognised medical specialty whose interest is a continuum of patient care involving pre-operative evaluation, intra-operative and postoperative care as well as the management of the systems and personnel that support these activities. In fact, anaesthesiology includes different areas of expertise, like anaesthesia, emergency, critical care and pain medicine. All these components make anaesthesiology one of the most fascinating, continually developing and innovative areas in medicine. Euroanaesthesia is the bench mark European annual congress and exhibition in anaesthesiology and the European Society of Anaesthesiology's (ESA) primary congress. The ESA scientific committee has planned a comprehensive programme including refresher courses, interactive discussions, workshops, abstract presentations and keynote lectures by internationally renowned experts to attract top leaders in the field of anaesthesiology to the congress. Recent educational, training, and research projects as well as new opportunities for European anaesthesiologists to join in collaborative research projects will be presented together with new grants and awards for young researchers. Euroanaesthesia is also characterised by its high standard of technology: the industry committed to supporting our meeting will take part in the adjacent trade exhibition where there will be ample time for delegates to discover industry's latest products and cutting edge technology. With over 5,000 delegates expected to be in attendance for this year, Euroanaesthesia 2012 looks set to be the most successful congress so far. http://www.wisepress.com/index.asp?PageKind=Exhibition&ID=88526553 http://www.wisepress.com/index.asp?PageKind=Exhibition&ID=88526553 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 11:13:00 +0100 The scientific committee has assembled a very attractive educational and scientific programme for this year's meeting of the European Society of Gastrointestinal & Abdominal Radiology (ESGAR). The multi-disciplinary flavour that was so successful in Venice 2011 has been continued and expanded for 2012. Abdominal radiology is at the very centre of medical imaging and there will be something in the programme to enhance any attendee's day-to-day clinical practice. The Postgraduate Course, which always kicks-off the annual meeting, will focus on luminal gastrointestinal imaging, reflecting the UK's long and illustrious heritage in the field. There will also be sessions on luminal radiology particularly relevant to our present health climate, notably bariatric imaging, luminal stenting and the ever-changing interface with endoscopic services. The main body of the meeting will provide very comprehensive coverage of the subspecialty: there will be multiple, simultaneous lecture sessions on every aspect of abdominal imaging, small-group workshops, clinical-files, research corners, symposia, and the EPOS electronic poster system. Scientific investigation forms the bedrock of the Society and there will be several scientific sessions each day where a selection of the 1,500 trainees and established radiologists (and related imaging disciplines) will have the opportunity to orally present novel and important research findings. http://www.wisepress.com/index.asp?PageKind=Exhibition&ID=13824099 http://www.wisepress.com/index.asp?PageKind=Exhibition&ID=13824099 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 16:50:00 +0100 The Live Interventional Neuroradiology & Neurosurgery Course (LINNC) is once again being held at the suitably modern Carrousel du Louvre in Paris. Interventional neuroradiology and neurosurgery are evolving every year and this meeting is a celebration of these two burgeoning sciences' commonality. It is exciting to see how far these two complementary disciplines have progressed in parallel over the years and whilst the technology has changed, the ethos behind these disciplines remains the same. Neurosurgeons and neuroradiologists demand to be at the very front line of emerging technologies, new therapeutic indications and ethical debates and these live courses are a chance for this highly dispersed community to come together and learn from one another. As usual, a programme of the highest quality has been prepared with HD live transmission from Paris, Helsinki and other live centres in collaboration with the best teams in the world. Lectures, cases discussions or recorded cases will also feature and, as of 2011, live percutaneous spine treatments will be added to the vascular field. Fast growing spinal interventional treatments are now very much part of the LINNC teaching strategy and this, along with the rest of the programme, is expected to attract 750 of the world's leading experts to Paris once more. http://www.wisepress.com/index.asp?PageKind=Exhibition&ID=7931155 http://www.wisepress.com/index.asp?PageKind=Exhibition&ID=7931155 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 11:14:00 +0100 Cardiostim 2012 will be the 18th world congress of this unique society and is the beginning of a new phase for cardiac electrophysiology in Europe. Though not officially coming into effect till 2014, Europace and Cardiostim will be homogenizing their annual meetings and this year will see the introduction of many of the techniques that will be needed for a full and worthy integration. Initially devised to share developments and expertise between France and the USA, Cardiostim has grown to include a multitude of electrophysiology specialists from 95 countries around the world. In 2012, there will be more debates, more lectures and more case presentations as the organising committee aims to deliver the biggest and best congress so far. As always, the latest technological advances will be presented in tandem with the latest techniques and this is perhaps no more apparent than with the presentation of recent clinical cases with an emphasis on emerging techniques. http://www.wisepress.com/index.asp?PageKind=Exhibition&ID=30959719 http://www.wisepress.com/index.asp?PageKind=Exhibition&ID=30959719 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 11:15:00 +0100 It has become increasingly apparent in recent decades that the period covering conception, pregnancy and early infancy is unique in that a multitude of stimuli, not only disease or trauma, can have a long and lasting effects later on in life. The 23rd Congress of the European Association of Perinatal Medicine is an attempt to demystify these externalities that affect us during the early moments of life and share ideas and research as to how the medical profession can help. The focus is on perhaps the less explored issues, such as behaviour or senescence, which are thought to be involved in developmental 'programming'. Early exposure to irratic nutrition and lifestyle, stress, or toxic chemicals, starting as soon as in the pre- periconceptional periods, can have repercussions that manifest only in (late) adulthood and in this framework, epigenetic transgenerational mechanisms that are perhaps little understood today can have even global implications in the future - such as obesity pandemics and type 2 diabetes. A truly modern and reflexive congress, ECPM 2012 hopes for progress in the scientific understanding of developmental programming, in sharing expertise and opinions of some of Europe's leading professionals, and overall, for a global understanding of challenges ahead. http://www.wisepress.com/index.asp?PageKind=Exhibition&ID=44800967 http://www.wisepress.com/index.asp?PageKind=Exhibition&ID=44800967 Tue, 6 Mar 2012 11:07:00 +0100 For the second time now the European Paediatric Surgeons' Association (EUPSA) and the British Association of Paediatric Surgeons (BAPS) have decided to hold their annual congresses in tandem, this time, in Rome.

The conference aims to achieve a balance of clinical, translational, and basic research, providing a forum for interaction, communication, and education for a broad spectrum of researchers, health professionals, and those with special interest in breast cancer. The Milan Breast 2012 program has been developed around a fundamental concept: Breast cancer is not a single disease. Specific biological processes and distinct gene pathways are associated with prognosis and sensitivity to chemotherapy, radiotherapy and targeted agents in different sub-types of breast cancers. A primary challenge for future treatment of patients with breast cancer will be to distinguish genes and pathways that drive cancer proliferation (drivers) from genes and pathways that have no primary role in the development of cancer (passengers). The identification of functional pathways that are enriched for mutated genes will select sub-population of patients that will most likely be sensitive to chemotherapy or to biology driven targeted agents. Keeping this in mind, also locoregional treatment might become personalized according to specific subtypes of breast cancer, in order to maximize efficacy while minimising the extent of treatment. The program will address a clear perspective: The need for clinicians to keep pace with the rapidly growing body of knowledge on new molecular pathways, targets, biomarkers, drugs, genomic technologies at the same time, and update skills of care givers to integrate and use such new technologies in daily clinical practice. http://www.wisepress.com/index.asp?PageKind=Exhibition&ID=62113798 http://www.wisepress.com/index.asp?PageKind=Exhibition&ID=62113798 Tue, 6 Mar 2012 11:01:00 +0100 The invited speakers will deliver new insights into subjects central to hand surgeons everywhere and they will help in making a meeting that will live up to the high standards that we have come to expect of a FESSH Congress.

The Association encourages a high standard of scientific presentation; awards scholarships; assists in funding scientific investigation; enables educational visits to centres in other countries; and publishes selected abstracts of papers presented at EACTA meetings. EACTA also promotes international exchange with non-European countries, by organising or participating in international meetings on cardiovascular and thoracic anaesthesia. The 28th Annual Meeting of the European Association of Cardiothoracic Anaesthesiologists will take place in Barcelona in June. The theme of the meeting is "New Technologies: Better Outcome?" It focusses on the integration of new technological tools used in daily practice and research. Anaesthesiologists face the question of when to use and how to evaluate the impact of new technology, especially when it promises to benefit patient safety. Innovations in technology for anaesthesia and critical care medicine impact on professional cognitive processes like attention, workload, and reasoning. Hence, it is very important to define the characteristics of technological improvement. The success or failure of new technologies that are not directly therapeutic depends on how the use of a device influences physician cognitive processes and the team activity. The programme is expected to attract not only cardiac anaesthesiologists but also members of collaborating specialities such as cardiac surgeons, perfusionists, intensivists and interventional cardiologists http://www.wisepress.com/index.asp?PageKind=Exhibition&ID=84835452 http://www.wisepress.com/index.asp?PageKind=Exhibition&ID=84835452 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 12:50:00 +0100 This congress aims to promote understanding of ADHD as a multidimensional developmental psychopathology, as a disorder of the lifespan with a complex aetiology.

The conference aims to achieve a balance of clinical, translational, and basic research, providing a forum for interaction, communication, and education for a broad spectrum of health professionals, researchers, and those with special interest in breast cancer. The Milan Breast 2013 program has been developed around a fundamental concept: Breast cancer is not a single disease. Specific biological processes and distinct gene pathways are associated with prognosis and sensitivity to chemotherapy, radiotherapy and targeted agents in different subtypes of breast cancers. A challenge for future treatment of patients with breast cancer will be to distinguish pathways that modulate tumor growth, proliferation and stroma. Therapeutic interactions within each of these compartments will probably provide additional benefit to patients with the disease. Keeping this in mind, also locoregional treatment will become personalized according to specific characteristics of the disease with the ultimate aim to maximize efficacy while minimizing the extent of treatment. The program will address a clear perspective: The need for clinicians to keep pace with the rapidly growing body of knowledge on new molecular pathways, targets, biomarkers, drugs, genomic technologies at the same time, and update skills of care givers to integrate and use such new technologies in daily clinical practice. http://www.wisepress.com/index.asp?PageKind=Exhibition&ID=37237185 http://www.wisepress.com/index.asp?PageKind=Exhibition&ID=37237185 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 16:47:00 +0100 Interventional oncology has emerged as a new discipline offering effective treatment of many malignant tumours with minimally invasive techniques.
