      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

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

Country of the Month: Latvia

November 1, 2016

 

Latvia – officially the Republic of Latvia (Latvian: Latvijas Republika), is a beautiful country in the Baltic region of Northern Europe, one of the three Baltic states. The name “Latvia” comes from the ancient Latgalians, one of four Indo-European Baltic tribes who formed the core of modern Latvians. With a coastline of 531km along the Baltic Sea, Latvia is bordered by Estonia, Lithuania, Russia, and Belarus, and has 64,589 km2 of scenic plains and rivers, lakes and hills, including a majestic coastline.

Latvia is a democratic parliamentary republic established in 1918. Saeima, the parliament, has 100 deputies elected every four years. The capital city is Riga, elected the European Capital of Culture in 2014. Latvia is a unitary state, divided into 118 administrative divisions, of which 109 are municipalities and 9 are cities. The most important sectors of Latvia’s economy in 2014 were wholesale and retail trade, transport, accommodation and food services (25.3 %), industry (16.4 %) and public administration, defense, education, human health, and social work activities (15.1 %). Latvia’s main export partners are Lithuania, Russia and Estonia, while its main import partners are Lithuania, Germany and Poland.

Concerning religion, most believers in Latvia follow Christianity. Ecumenical tradition is important. Latvian seasonal holidays have strong pre- Cristian traditions. Latvian cultural heritage dates back well over a thousand years. Latvian is the official language. Latvian is a Balt language, but neither Slavic nor Germanic. Traditional Latvian folklore, especially the dance of the folk songs, date back well over a thousand years. More than 1.2 million texts and 30,000 melodies of folk songs have been identified. Folksongs Dainas are a part of the UNESCO Memory of the World Register. Popular foreign languages are English, Russian and German.

The Latvian healthcare system is largely funded through government taxation. It is among the lowest-ranked healthcare systems in Europe, due to excessive waiting times for treatment, insufficient access to the latest medicines, and other factors. Health care system in Latvia is based on the residence principle: negative list of benefits – the state pays for all services except those that are excluded from the scope. Health care benefits are available for government, municipality and private inpatient and outpatient health care institutions. Patients pay a contribution in order to receive health care.

Pauls Stradiņš

Latvia has a long history of vibrant academic life outstanding literacy. There are overall 466 university students for every 10,000 inhabitants in around 60 institutions.
In Latvia there are two medical schools, the- University of Latvia and the Rīga Stradiņš University. After the second World War, only two professors of medicine remained in Latvia, and one of them was Professor Pauls Stradiņš, who, as the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, efficiently rebuilt and renewed the education and science of medicine from scratch. In 1950 the Rīga Medical Institute was established with the help of the Faculty of Medicine of the State University of Latvia. The initiators were Pauls Stradiņš, Ernests Burtnieks (1950-1958) – the first Director of the Rīga Medical Institute, and the Healthcare Minister Ādolfs Krauss. Initially, the institute included the faculties of medicine. In 1990, the Institute was renamed Medical Academy of Latvia (Academia Medicinaei Latviensis), but in 1998, the Constitutional Assembly made the decision to rename the Medical Academy of Latvia, as Rīga Stradiņš University. The Rīga Stradiņš University has become a university type higher education institution, as it trains experts not only in the fields of medicine and pharmacy, but also provides study programs in social sciences, natural sciences, public health and law. In 2002 the Rīga Stradiņš University Act came into effect and the Academy of Medicine of Latvia was renamed the Rīga Stradiņš University (RSU).

 

The Rīga Stradiņš University is a government founded university, which offers various study programs, and ensures the realization of scientific projects, providing excellent education and training of experts in healthcare and the social sciences who work in Latvia, the European Union and in different countries of the world. The Rīga Stradiņš University is the only university in Latvia which has traditionally been integrated in the healthcare system of the country, and therefore ensures a successful run of the university, which is a precondition for an effective existence of the healthcare system in Latvia. The University is autonomous and academically free to pursue its goals and tasks, working for the benefit of the state and society, and offering a wide array of academic and professional education and research opportunities in the fields of healthcare, social care, social sciences and natural sciences. dentistry and pharmacy, as well as 45 departments. The Faculty of Medicine was established in 1919, closed during the soviet period, and finally re-established in 1997.

 

Every year about 380 students are offered admission and the opportunity to study medicine. The medicine training lasts six years. During their studies, students follow several theoretical and practical courses and stages: Teaching can be in Latvian or English. There are also international students. During the six years of medicine students have to decide what type of specialist they want to become. Four successful years of residency are required to become a neurologist. At this stage the studies are only in Latvian. In order to successfully complete their studies, students have to pass the examination and certification of the residency.

The name of Latvian Neurological Society is the Latvian Society of Neurology, which is composed by 274 members, 20% male and 80% female members. The name of the president is Professor. E. Miglāne and Board members are Prof. A. Millers, Prof. E. Vītols, Prof. I. .Logina, B. Tilgale, and I. Ķikule.
