      Executive Page Dear EAN members, dear friends, It is my pleasure to give you an update on behalf of the EAN Scientific Committee following a busy year since my appointment as chair. It has been a privilege to be so deeply involved in the scientific activities of the EAN and to work closely with an amazing community of people who are so dedicated to the advancement of neurology. One of the strongest threads within that community is the EAN’s group of Scientific Panels, which are often referred to as the organisation’s ‘scientific backbone’. The panels have a hand in everything the EAN does from a scientific point of view, including coordinating clinical research, disseminating good practice, assisting in planning the EAN annual congress, supporting the EAN’s educational efforts, and producing guidelines that assist neurologists in daily practice. All of this work requires a considerable amount of oversight, and this is why each panel is run by its own Management Group, elected by the panel members. Being a part of one of these Management Groups (PDF) is an opportunity to play a direct part in determining the direction of scientific progress within Europe, and I am excited to say that the call for applications to stand for election will be announced in September. All panel members and EAN individual members are eligible to apply to be candidates, with the vote being held among the existing panel members in autumn. I would like to urge every neurologist with a passion for the scientific future of their special area of interest to consider standing for election to the relevant Management Group and to look out for the call for applications later this month. I can tell you from personal experience that fulfilling a role such as this within the structure of the EAN is a fascinating and extremely rewarding experience. The chance to take on such a unique leadership position should not be missed! The most satisfying aspect of being involved in the EAN’s organisational structure is surely seeing all the hard work and planning come to fruition when a small idea evolves into a newly launched project. One such example is the 1st EAN Science School, taking place in Salzburg next March. The idea of the Science School is to offer early career neurologists with an interest in translational research a new avenue for learning about basic pathomechanisms of neurological disorders. Application for this very first edition, on ‘Pathophysiology of disorders of the nervous system’, closed last week and we have been delighted with the level of interest. It was a pleasure to be part of the task force in charge of planning this new project and I look forward to seeing it officially transferred to the hands of the Scientific Committee after a successful event and evaluation in spring. Of our ongoing activities, one of the most significant is the EAN Neuro-covid Registry, which aims to collate epidemiological data on neurological manifestations in patients with COVID-19 infection reported by neurologists in outpatient services, emergency rooms, and hospital departments. We currently have 1,542 patients entered in the database, from 35 centres across 23 countries. So far, 29 patients have been followed for 12 months and 387 have completed the 6-months follow up. This is a decent start, but I would like to strongly encourage EAN members and their institutions to get involved and contribute cases to what will become an invaluable resource for neurologists and clinicians to improve care for Covid-19 patients. Finally, I would like share a word on a forthcoming collaboration between EAN and the Human Brain Project in December, that I think will interest a lot of EAN members. The EAN-EBRAINS joint workshop on ‘The future of medical data sharing in clinical neurosciences’ will be a three-day virtual event that aims to discuss issues and challenges associated with data sharing in Europe, from ethics to data safety and privacy, including those specific to data federation, such as the development and validation of federated algorithms. The whole workshop is completely free of charge and registration is open until 25 November, so please check out the details and sign up! I wish you all a healthy and pleasant autumn and I look forward to updating you again. Best wishes Thomas Berger Chair of the EAN Scientific Committee

Regional Teaching Course in Baku, Azerbaijan, May 18-20, 2014

August 1, 2014

  

First of all I would like to thank the EAN Head Office, Julia Mayer, the EAN Education committee, especially Professor Detlef Kömpf, and all our invited speakers for their support in organising the Regional Teaching Course in Baku.

The purpose of this course was to discuss many clinical neurological aspects, to provide up-to-date information and promote international research and clinical collaboration.

This was the first RTC in Baku, and we had 10 of the best European lectors invited as speakers. They talked about headache, stroke dementia, eye movement disorders, and more. A course with such a high level of scientific and practical knowledge does not often happen in Azerbaijan and called big interest and desire to visit our city. We had a lot of applications from all parts of Azerbaijan and other countries: USA, Netherland, Georgia, Iran, Kirgizstan and Uzbekistan. Finally, more than 170 doctors participated in the RTC in Baku.
Each participant received a bag with information about the EAN, its future events and the RTC material.

On behalf of the EAN and the local organising committee Professors Detlef Kömpf, Rana Shiraliyeva and Nazim Gasimov addressed the welcoming words to all participants with focus on the importance of such RTCs, providing knowledge of European standards and giving learning opportunities to young doctors.

The first day was dedicated to field of Headache.
Professor Jes Olesen (Denmark) described headache classification and diagnosis problems, which neurologists often are confronted with in their practice. Professor Messoud Ashina (Denmark) had a speech about “Pharmacological and non-pharmacological management of migraine and cluster headache”. Professor Dimos Mitsikostas (Greece) described “Primary headaches and depression: treatment strategy”. Also methods of training were demonstrated during workshops with patients. Rovshan Hasanov (Azerbaijan) talked about the Headache clinic in Azerbaijan (current status and future perspectives). We also welcomed a representative from the EAYNT, Peter Balicza, who talked about future perspectives for junior neurologists in Europe.

The second day was dedicated to field of Stroke.
Professor Laszlo Vecsei (Hungary) described “Pathomechanims of neurodegeneration in stroke and neurodegenerative disorders: alternatives of neuroprotection”. Professor Derk Wolfgang Krieger (Denmark) spoke about “Management of acute stroke is an emerging discipline”. It was really very interesting to listen about management of stroke step by step. Professor Zaza Katsarava (Germany) described “How to organize a stroke unit”. Professor Sadaqat Huseynova (Azerbaijan) has a speech about “stroke rehabilitation”. During workshops also was discussed acut stroke management, trombolisis therapy. Also Professor Valeria Caso participated in workshops, and all speakers discussed interesting case presentations. We think the stroke day was very interesting and will help us to improve acute stroke management in Azerbaijan.

The third day was dedicated to field of Dementia, Parkinson & Neuro-ophthalmology.
Professor Valeria Caso (Italy) described “Vascular Dementia: Prevention, Diagnosis and Treatment”. Professor Fabio Blandini (Italy) had a speech about “Pathophysiology of Parkinson disease: from bench to bedside”. Professor Detlef Kömpf (Germany) explained “Eye Movement Disorders in Clinical Neurology: The Oculomotor System”. And the last presentation was from Professor Fuad Ismailov (Azerbaijan) about “Pharmacotherapy treatment of depression in patients with neurodegenerative diseases”.

We also organised some social activities in the evenings to create a relaxing atmosphere for the participants andhte faculty. On the second day was the Gala dinner in the old city, the most beautiful part of Baku, in the Karvansaray restaurant with national dances, mugam and oriental dance. On the first and second day a city tour for speakers and foreign participants was organised.

I would like to express my admiration to the quality of the simultaneous translation. Invited interpreters did an immense work during the preparation of the RTC. All lectures had been studied before to be able to help our participants to properly understand the professors. That is why more than 70% of the participants passed the exam successfully, and got special certificates. Everybody got a certificate of attendance after the course. Speakers also had certificate which confirmed that they had participated as a speaker in RTC.

Our meeting gave an opportunity to colleagues and friends to come together to create, strengthen and reformulate links of collaboration and friendship between researchers and practitioners with the common ground of thoughts and work. Our main goal was to open new windows to scientific exchange in reflecting new perspectives and the implicit challenges at the beginning of this century. we believe that the meeting was stimulating, fruitful and it contributed to a better understanding of the neurological diseases.

Sincerelly
