      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

Clinical Fellowship Reports 2021

July 21, 2021

Willem De Ridder, Oelegem, Belgium

Term of the Fellowship: 1.1. – 26.2.2021

Hosting department: Radboud UMC, Neurology Department, Nijmegen, The Netherlands

Supervisor: Prof. dr. C.J.M. Karin Klijn, Nicol Voermans and Nens van Alfen

In this final report on my EAN Clinical Fellowship, I start with a short introduction on what I already learned during my clinical residency, what my aims were regarding this fellowship abroad and how I indeed had the opportunity to achieve these goals.

I started my clinical residency in Neurology in 2014, and in 2015 I was given the opportunity to start full time scientific research for my doctoral degree. A full year of clinical residency enabled me to see my research project in a broad clinical context. During this four-year period, I did weekly consultations at the neuromuscular reference centre of the University Hospital of Antwerp. In this specialised tertiary centre, I already had the opportunity to investigate numerous patients with myopathies. During a four-year period as a PhD fellow, I made the transition to a clinician-scientist. On the one hand, I had the opportunity to develop my skills as a neurologist with particular interest in neuromuscular disorders. I did (twice)-weekly consultations at the specialised consultation of the NMRC of the UZA. I particularly developed my skills in clinical electrophysiology (nerve conduction studies, EMG), in the interpretation of muscle MR imaging (particularly with regard to pattern recognition) and in myopathology. On the other hand, I had the opportunity to immerse myself in basic and more clinical science, working on research projects encompassing clinico-genetic studies in rare or novel inherited myopathies, as well as studies with the aim of resolving pathomechanisms of rare genetic or sporadic myopathies (sporadic inclusion body myositis).

In February 2020, during my last year of clinical residency, I successfully defended my PhD thesis.

Although I attended different very relevant summer schools, such as the Summer School of Myology in Paris (in 2017), the Metabolic Myopathies Focus Course (2016) and the MYO-MRI Training School (2016), it was crucial for my general development as a neurologist with a specific interest in neuromuscular disorders (and myopathies in particular) to visit another highly specialised neuromuscular center as a clinician.

Indeed, during my stay at the Radboudumc hospital in Nijmegen, I had the opportunity to broaden my knowledge and experience regarding neuromuscular disorders at this highly specialised centre. I did consultations with internationally renowned neuromuscular specialists, seeing patients with rare neuromuscular disorders under their supervision. The Radboudumc specifically has a very strong expertise regarding myotonic dystrophy, FSHD, plexopathies and mitochondrial myopathies. Furthermore, I followed unique multidisciplinary consultations, the highly specialised plexopathy consultation in particular.

I took part in many multidisciplinary (online) meetings: clinical neuromuscular meetings, scientific meetings, meetings on myositis, mitochondrial disorders.

At the clinical neurophysiology department, I further broadened my knowledge and expertise regarding nerve conduction studies, EMG and single fibre EMG. On top of that, I learned to perform and interpret two completely new technical investigations: muscle ultrasound and nerve ultrasound. I learned about the strengths and pitfalls of these examinations.

My stay in Nijmegen broadened my horizon in many other ways: 1) seeing the impact of differences in healthcare organisation (centralisation of patients with specific disorders and expertise); 2) learning from differences in clinical neurology training and taking back the positive elements of the system in the Netherlands (teaching, open and direct feedback); 3) working with strongly developed guidelines as typical for the Netherlands (not having to reinvent the wheel themselves). I learned a lot of these organisational differences between the Radboudumc and the University Hospital of Antwerp. In the Radboudumc, diagnostic processes and technical investigations are highly organised according to specific protocols, as is typically the case in the Netherlands and not so much in Belgium.

This clinical fellowship aided me in growing as a neuromuscular specialist and neurologist. In general, my stay in Nijmegen was also extremely enriching for me as a person. I had some life lessons here that I will never forget. I will be forever grateful to my supervisors and colleagues in Nijmegen and I’m very grateful that I have had the chance to come here due to the EAN Clinical Fellowship.
