Stroke Live Course – SLICE 2017
October 2nd – 4th 2017, Nice, France
Over 15 million people suffer from a stroke worldwide each year and recent published trials have demonstrated the need for a combined team approach. Over 3 days, the SLICE meeting will bring key players in the chain of survival together for lively discussions around clinical cases. Attention will be paid beyond the latest trials to technical protocols, anesthesia management and the neurological guidelines necessary for effective decision-making during the acute phase. An internationally renowned and uniquely accessible multidisciplinary faculty will offer their own tips and tricks, sharing practical “take home” messages that can improve and optimize your decision-making and workflow – essential elements in stroke care. Whether you’re an emergency room worker, anesthetist or neurologist, come take part in this unique opportunity to interact, share and exchange with your community!

Practice teaching course In-depth MRI techniques and analysis in multiple sclerosis
October 5th – 6th 2017, Milan, Italy
The diagnosis and differential diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS), as well evaluating prognostic factors at onset and along the disease course, increasingly rely on MRI findings. The MRI exam, along with the clinical evaluation, are the key measures for estimating treatment response and safety. Moreover, estimating prognosis may benefit from quantitative analysis of lesion load and brain volumes. Unconventional techniques are mostly used in clinical research and provide unique information about micro structural damage and brain dynamics. Therefore, there is a need to constantly update knowledge in the MRI field. This practice teaching course will give an overview of applying MRI techniques and offer practical training on MRI quantitative analysis through an innovative ‘hands on’ approach. Attendees will play with software that works as an analytical videogame where users submit MRI scans from which they can extract important numerical data concerning lesions, white matter and more.
