Clinical and Molecular Biology of Acute and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathies (February 2012)
I am writing to inform you of our upcoming conference on Clinical and Molecular Biology of Acute and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathies, taking place February 26 - March 2, 2012 at Keystone Resort, Keystone, Colorado, USA. Organized by the University of Virginia and Ann McKee of Boston University/VA Boston Healthcare System, the conference will: 1) Convene with keynote addresses on the evening of Sunday, February 26 by Robert W. Mahley of J. David Gladstone Institutes and Robert C. Malenka of Stanford University School of Medicine, followed by four days of informative plenary and poster sessions 2)Identify, compare and contrast the complete current state-of-the-art clinical, neuroimaging and molecular phenomenology that accompany various situational categories of acute and chronic traumatic brain injury (TBI), 3)Better understand the genetic factors predisposing to especially favorable or unfavorable outcomes for TBI patients and those who progress to Alzheimer’s Disease or chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), 4) Begin to move “from bench to bedside” (i.e., human clinical trials) with the current animal model observations that pharmacological lowering of amyloid levels can improve outcomes from TBI.

ESCIM LIVES 2011 (Berlin)
The European Society of Intensive Care Medicine is organising its 24th ESICM LIVES Annual Congress in Berlin, Germany from Saturday 01 until Wednesday 05 October 2011. This Congress will be one of the major intensive care meetings taking place in 2011. It will feature - parallel sessions including over 500 lectures, presentations, debates, round table discussions, tutorials and interactive educational sessions. Invited speakers are all well-known international experts in their field, and we anticipate having a faculty of over 250 that will participate with us. Presentation of original research is one of the priorities of this series of Congresses and we anticipate that there will be almost 1400 oral and poster presentations of unpublished research. This combination of thematic presentations, education and discussion and debate of new data is an intoxicating mixture that will make the Congress an event which should not be missed. We look forward to you attending our ESICM LIVES 2011 in Germany where we will offer both an enjoyable and exciting scientific programme together with an entertaining social and cultural spectacle.
XXIX Congreso Chileno Medicina Intensiva
El próximo XXIX Congreso Chileno de Medicina Intensiva se llevará a cabo en el mes de Octubre en la ciudad de Puerto Varas. En el evento trabajarán en sociedad con nosotros los expertos de la Conferencia Latinoamericana de injuria Cerebral LABIC, quienes se fundirán en el programa en los módulos de neurocrítico y sesiones plenarias. El XXIX Congreso Chileno de Medicina Intensiva contará con cursos pre-congreso de Ventilación Mecánica, Hemodinamia, Sedación, Nutrición, Ecografía sistémica, Ecocardiografía, FCCS y terapias de sustitución renal, entre otros. A lo anterior, debemos agregar que el programa será realzado con la presencia de maestros de la medicina intensiva a nivel mundial, a quienes podrán ir conociendo en nuestro portal. A través de ellos, podremos conocer los avances en las materias que nos convocan y mostrar las fronteras. Sabemos que estos profesores constituyen el ejemplo en el que se proyecten nuestras nuevas generaciones profesionales.

Hydrocephalus 2011 (September 4-7, 2011)
Dear Friends and Colleagues! It is with great pleasure that we invite you to the 2011 meeting of the International Society for Hydrocephalus and CSF Disorders , which will be held in Copenhagen from September 4 - 7. As this continues with our tradition of scientifically outstanding congresses and symposia on hydrocephalus and related topics, we have chosen Nicolaus Steno (Danish scientist and priest 1638–1686) as a “historic patron” for the meeting, because of his dedication to meticulous scientific methodology and as a tribute to his original papers on hydrocephalus—the first ever truly scientific descriptions of the hydrocephalic brain.
BRAIN 2011 (Barcelona, May 24-28)
BRAIN’11 & BRAINPET’11 unites a diverse group of leading international brain researchers and professionals seeking the latest available information, research, and treatments in fields such as cerebrovascular regulation, brain imaging, ischemia/stroke, neurotrauma, and brain protection. This is a unique opportunity to exchange knowledge, connect with the global scientific community involved in this highly complex discipline and to ultimately shape the future of brain research.
NINDS Common Data Elements
CDE stands for "Common Data Element" . The purpose of the CDE Project is to standardize the collection of investigational data in order to facilitate comparison of results across studies and more effectively aggregate information into significant metadata results. The goal of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) CDE Project is to develop data standards for clinical research within the neurological community. Central to this Project is the creation of common definitions and data sets so that information (data) is consistently captured and recorded across studies. This Web site outlines these data standards and provides accompanying tools to help investigators and research teams collect and record standardized clinical data.
