      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

      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

OBITUARY – Cesare Fieschi

August 1, 2016

FIESCHI CESARE x OB 2016

Prof. Cesare Fieschi passed away last June in Rome (Italy) at the age of 84.

He was born in Pavia, from a family of old Genovese ancestry. He did his medical internship and neurology residency at the University of Genoa. In 1969 he moved to Rome to follow his mentor, Prof. Cornelio Fazio. Very shortly thereafter he did his research fellowship in the “Laboratory of Cerebral Metabolism” of the NIH-NINDS in Bethesda (USA), where studied the regional energy metabolism of the brain using the autoradiography approach, under the direction of Prof. Lou Sokoloff and Prof. Seymour Kety. These experimental studies contributed to the later demonstration of a therapeutic window for the treatment of cerebral ischemia in humans. This was probably his major scientific achievement that opened the field to thrombolytic therapy in acute stroke. After his return to Italy he served as Professor of Neurology, first in Siena (1970-1977), and then in Rome, where he created the first Italian Stroke Unit at the University La Sapienza.

Prof. Fieschi was one of the founders of the Society of Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism, and was its President from 1981 to 1982. He was also one of the founders of the European Federation of Neurological Societies.  In his professional career he served as the President of the Italian Society of Neurology. He received the Gold Medal of the President of the Italian Republic in 2003, for meritorious Public Health service in cerebrovascular diseases and in multiple sclerosis.  In 2009 he was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award by the International Society of Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism for his tremendous contribution to the field and for his untiring work on behalf of the Society. He retired from the University in 2002, but continued to be active within his group at the Sant’Andrea Hospital in Rome, up until a few months before his death. His wife, Carla, Associated Professor of Neurology, survives him.

*                                  *                                  *

To the many people who knew Cesare Fieschi, I would imagine that they would recall the main aspects of his personality: his continuous activity, his determination, his inner force that inspired his work, and the quality of drive that he demonstrated towards his many pupils.

Cesare Fieschi was definitely a hard-worker, with a no-nonsense, pragmatic attitude towards both clinical activities and experimental research. “Where are the data?” he used to ask us. Very definitely he hated burocracy. He loved music, he loved to walk, he loved to travel (“C B F … see the world,“ he used to say, playing with the sounds of these letters). He was, however, much too impatient to play bridge or to play tennis and/or golf. He supported the Italian soccer team INTER, but without the strong passion of a real soccer fan.  I may guess that he attended no more that four or five matches of this team. He loved sailing, both on the lake of Bracciano and in the sea near Talamone. He was not a gourmet, nor was he an expert on wine, and this lack was the cause of many friendly discussions with Lou Sokoloff, who loved travel through Europe mixing scientific events with the “Michelin Guide” stars. He was not a diplomat, he refused compromises, and to be obliged to spend days in discussions and planning with “big pharmacy companies” was something that annoyed him deeply. He respected science, and I remember him talking with deep and keen emotion about Kety, Lassen, Ingvar, Ross Russel, and Plum. A couple of times I asked him to write a book, a monograph on stroke, but he always answered that he had too many other things to do rather than to be sitting for months at a desk writing a book.

The photo of him that I have selected was taken in 2000 (SEO), when – at Cesare’s request – the University of Roma gave the “HONORIS CAUSA” to Lou Sokoloff.

Please allow me to add a few personal lines from the many memories I have of Cesare, who I first met in 1951, when I was an 8-year-old boy and he was finishing his high school studies in Siena. I had accompanied my mother to visit his mother at their home in the Piazza del Capitano in Siena, and I still clearly remember this towering, very active young man, continuously moving around his living room. This top-down relationship has gone on… with some ups and downs for all the 35 years of Academic collaboration we enjoyed together; from the moment that Cesare rescued me from complete and dramatic unemployment on the 15th of  January 1973, to his retirement in 2002, and even to recent years.  I have been his First-Assistant for 15 years, and then his junior Colleague. It has been for me a deeply gratifying experience to be able to rely on him for important decisions, for discussing clinical dilemmas, and for on-going academic support. Our different personalities caused, from time to time, some turbulence in our relationship, but I have never ceased to consider Cesare Fieschi “ il mio amato Maestro”, my much loved Master.
