      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

Country of the Month: Serbia

October 1, 2020

Serbia is a country situated at the crossroads of Central and Southeast Europe, with a population of approximately seven million people. Its capital, Belgrade, ranks among the oldest cities in South-East Europe.

Inhabited since the Paleolithic Age, the territory of modern-day Serbia was inhabited by Slavic people migrating to South-East Europe in the 6th century. The Serbian Kingdom obtained recognition by the Holy See and Constantinople in 1217. In 1918 the country constituted the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (Kingdom of Yugoslavia from 1929). During the breakup of Yugoslavia, Serbia formed a union with Montenegro, which was peacefully dissolved in 2006, restoring Serbia’s independence as a sovereign state.   Serbia has five cultural monuments inscribed in the list of UNESCO World Heritage including the early medieval capital Stari Ras and Sopocani Monastery (13th century), and  Studenica Monastery (12th century).

Early medieval capital Stari Ras and the 13th century monastery Sopocani

Serbia boasts with two literary monuments on UNESCO’s Memory of the World Programme: the 12th-century Miroslav Gospel, and scientist Nikola Tesla‘s Archive.

Miroslav Gospel

The most prominent Serbian scientist Nikola Tesla is credited with being the brains behind alternating current, the radio, wireless technology, and remote control. He has been described as “The Man Who Invented the 20th Century”.

Nikola Tesla

Ivo Andric is the best-known Serbian writer. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature (for The Bridge on the Drina) in 1961.

Ivo Andric Bridge on the Drina

The University of Belgrade is the oldest and largest university in Serbia, founded in 1808 as the Belgrade Higher School. The University’s Faculty of Medicine, founded in 1920, is one of the oldest institutions of higher education in Serbia. Other faculties of medicine in Serbia are part of the Universities of Novi Sad, Nis and Kragujevac, and the University of Defense in Belgrade.

University of Belgrade

The health system of the Republic of Serbia is based on compulsory health insurance, with personal contributions as the main source of financing, and large population coverage by health care services. The main provider of health services is the Republic Fund of Health Insurance, under national legislation and control. In Serbia, there are about 450 neurologists (5 neurologists per 100,000 inhabitants), of whom 60% are female.

Serbia’s first clinic of neuropsychiatry was founded in 1923 in Belgrade and had 5 neuropsychiatrists. In 1979, the Clinic of Neuropsychiatry was divided and the Clinic of Neurology was established in Belgrade. From its founding until now, this institution has been a gathering place for the most prominent clinical neurologists in Serbia. It provides education for medical students, specialists in neurology and PhD students, and it is the national centre of scientific research in the field of clinical and experimental neurology. At present, university clinics of neurology are also located in Novi Sad, Nis and Kragujevac, and at the Military Medical Academy in Belgrade.

The Ministry of Health of the Republic of Serbia grants specialisation in neurology to medical doctors who are then free to choose their training at one of the five medical faculties in Serbia. Specialisation in neurology lasts for four years and includes three years of training at a department of neurology and one year at a different department.    

One of the leading and most outstanding neurologists of the 19th century Serbia was Laza Lazarevic, who was also an enthusiastic scientist and writer. He was the author of 78 scientific articles published in national and international journals. In his pioneering work, the paper entitled Ischias postica Cotunii, which was published in 1880 in the Serbian language and the Cyrillic alphabet, Lazarevic correctly explained that stretching the sciatic nerve was the cause of pain during the straight leg raising test. This manuscript was subsequently translated into German and published in Vienna in 1884. The Lazarevic-Lasègue sign remains a highly relevant sign in modern clinical neurology.

Laza Lazarevic

The most prominent contemporary neurologist in Serbia is Professor Vladimir S. Kostic, a full professor of neurology at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Belgrade and the president of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts since 2015. His main clinical and scientific fields of interest in neurology are neurodegenerative diseases, and movement disorders in particular, where his achievements and exceptional scientific results have been internationally recognised.

Prof. Vladimir S. Kostic

The Society of Serbian Neurologists (SSN) has 650 members, including 150 young physicians who represent The Society of Young Serbian Neurologists. The current chairperson of the SSN is Professor Ranko Raicevic, while its founder and former chairperson was Professor Vladimir S. Kostic.

The aim of the Society is to increase awareness of neurological disorders in Serbia, and to improve education and research facilities of health-care professionals dealing with neurology issues. The SSN comprises scientific working groups and special interest groups (national societies for neurosonology, headache, somnology, the peripheral nervous system, and clinical neurophysiology; working groups for multiple sclerosis, rare neuromuscular diseases, and small  vessel vascular diseases of the brain). Neurologists from Serbia maintain extensive professional collaboration with colleagues from Europe, the USA, and other parts of the world.

Logo of Society of Serbian Neurologists

The SSN organises several important regional meetings. Every other year, The National Congress of Serbian Neurologists is held in Serbia with international participation. During the Congress ten years ago, the SSN established the “Laza Lazarevic Award”, to be granted to two most prominent neurologists, one a member of the SSN and the other from overseas, and the “Prof. Dr Zvonimir Levic Award” for the best scientific investigation.

 Another important event is the Adriatic Neurology Forum, jointly and alternately organised with the Croatian Neurological Society. The SSN regularly organises international meetings such as Stroke: Challenges, South-East European international scientific meetings on multiple sclerosis in collaboration with regional neurological societies, and international meetings which deal with movement disorders, dementia, epilepsy and neuromuscular disorders.

One of the most important educational activities of the SSN is the annually held School for Young Neurologists. Each year the School is dedicated to a specific group of neurological disorders. More and more young neurologists from Serbia and neighbouring countries participate in these meetings.

Serbia and COVID-19

The first case of COVID-19 infection in Serbia was registered on March 6, 2020, and an outbreak was declared on March 19, 2020. The health care system in Serbia immediately adapted for the COVID-19 pandemic. In neurology departments throughout the country, recommended preventive measures were taken, comprising reducing outpatient face to face contacts to the minimum, using telephone consultations, disallowing visits of relatives, working in small teams, and using surgical masks and visors throughout the working day. The Department of Neurology in the University centre in Belgrade, and, some other tertiary centres, according to the local epidemiological situation were re-organised according to priority and comprised: 1.) Emergency and Stroke Unit; 2.) Regular Ward; and 3.) Outpatient Clinic/Department/Unit, exclusively for non-COVID patients. At hospital level, outside the capital, a number of separate neurology units were prepared exclusively for the treatment of patients with COVID-19. Most scheduled hospital procedures were cancelled or postponed. However, treatment for patients with chronic neurological disorders were continuously administered, according to previously defined schedules. Clinical trials and research are ongoing.
