      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

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

EAN Neurogenetics Scientific Panel: COVID-19 expert statement

April 9, 2020

Released on April 3rd, 2020

To our knowledge, there is currently no evidence on how and if Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) affects people with rare neurological diseases, mainly neurogenetics (NGDs). A recent (April 3rd) research on PubMed did not reveal any official statement or position by scientific communities, except a single article in Chinese which provides consensus recommendations on cerebellar ataxia (Zhonghua Yi Xue Yi Chuan Xue Za Zhi. 2020 Apr 10;37(4):359-366. Expert consensus on the management strategy of patients with hereditary ataxia during prevention and control of novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic. Specialized Committee Of Neurogenetics Neurophysician Branch Of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Jiang H, Tang B.). Moreover, no case reports on COVID-19 NGDs are available on PubMed.

However, several patients with NGDs may have respiratory muscle weakness, and thus are at higher risk of complications if infected by this novel coronavirus. Moreover, most patients require periodic follow up also for comorbidities related to the genetic defect -i.e. heart, diabetes- and intensive rehabilitation. In view of the seriousness of the COVID-19 epidemic, a series of prevention and control measures adopted by the governments have restricted the follow-up, diagnosis and treatment of patients by the hospitals -including rehab-, which has a great impact on their mental and physical health.
EAN Neurogenetics Experts* here provide some general recommendations regarding major questions related to neurogenetics diseases, for both patients and physicians.

In general:
NGDs patients are medically compromised, therefore the following recommendations maybe provided for concerned patients and their families.
Because there are asymptomatic carriers – meaning that we can carry the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) without signs of infection, it makes sense to follow some simple recommendations to prevent spread of, or acquiring the disease. Most importantly, contact your primary care physician or your NGDs specialist first if you are experiencing symptoms rather than going to the emergency room.

1 Connect with your doctor and friends

  • Keep in touch digitally. Most of the time, a digital visit with your doctor may solve your troubles or problems.
  • Make plans to video chat with people or groups you’d normally see in person.
  • You can also arrange phone calls or send instant messages or texts.

2 Try to keep active

  • Develop physical activity into your daily routine, if possible. Even if you do not have exercise equipment at home (i.e. treadmills), there are multiple physical activities for any age and ability, such as cleaning your home, dancing to music, going up and down stairs, online exercise workouts that you can follow.
  • Keep your mind active as well! Plan how you’ll spend your time.

3 Stay connected with current events, but be careful where you get news and health information from. In particular, stay connected with latest government guidelines

4 Stay connected with your official patients’ advisory boards.
Many patients’ advisory boards are publishing in their official web sites or social pages recommendations developed by their scientific committees or experts. Please check regularly these national and international web pages to stay updated.

Examples are:

  • Mitochondrial diseases
  • Cerebellar ataxias
    Neuromuscular diseases:
    Guidance for the management of myasthenia gravis (MG) and Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Recommendations have been prepared and endorsed by an international working group of MG experts in response to the COVID-19 pandemic on 23 March 2020. The American Association of Neuromuscular & Electrodiagnostic Medicine (AANEM) endorsed these recommendations on 25 March 2020.
  • Fabry disease

Are there specific recommendations for certain types of therapies?
In several NGDs, disease modifying therapies are available and, for some, the administration may require travel to the Clinics. We strongly recommend that this individualized decision be made based on national laws, incidence of COVID-19 and risk/benefit of the therapy for the individual patient; where possible consider switching to home infusion (i.e. enzyme replacement therapies) with nurse supervision.

How to deal with patients in ongoing clinical trials?
There are numerous ongoing clinical trials in several NGDs. We strongly recommend that any decision regarding ongoing need for in-person evaluations under the clinical trial be based with consideration of national law for patients’ best interest, and where possible it should be switched to e-control (i.v. via Skype or other platforms or APPs). In clinical trials also the sponsors responsibility and communication regarding study protocol continuations\deviations has to be considered.

This EAN expert panel believes that therapy decisions should be individualized in this period, and made collaboratively between the patient and his/her healthcare provider.
