Gian Luigi Lenzi (GLL): As President of the European Stroke Organisation, can you illustrate the role you would like EAN to cover within the world of European Neurology? Kennedy Lees (KL): EAN should represent specialists in neurology to ensure that their contribution to stroke care is recognised, and in countries where this is under-represented should work to promote their involvement. It should offer an educational function, teaching general neurologists about the latest and most important aspects of stroke that they may encounter in their practice.

Interview with the Coordinator of the European Affairs Sub-Committee of the EAN: Wolfgang Oertel
Gian Luigi Lenzi (GLL): As Coordinator of the European Affairs Sub-Committee of the EAN, can you illustrate the role you give to EAN within the community of European Neurologists? Wolfgang Oertel (WO): EAN represents all European Neurologists – from Uzbekistan to Portugal, from Malta to Island and neurologists from all countries which are and/or wish to be closely related to Europe - for example countries around the Mediterranean area. EAN is the one and only professional European society for neurologists. It speaks for the first time ever in the 160 year long history of European neurology with one voice – through the president and the officers. Every neurologist should realize that she/he now has a professional home and a united and powerful society to represent and pursue her or his interest. And neurologists should use this new chance. -

After World War II, German neurology had to restart from almost point zero. Even though three “old” neurology chairs at the universities in Hamburg (Heinrich Pette), Heidelberg (Paul Vogel) and Würzburg (Georges Schaltenbrand) still existed or were reinstituted immediately, the process of emancipation of neurology as an independent field had been reversed between 1933 and 1945 (see previous chapters of this series).

The first paper that I would like to point out to Neuropenews readers has attracted my attention because it concerns the impact of a “black-box” warning on the behaviour of a general and/or selected population. The paper has been published on the 30 October issue of the New England J of Medicine, by Richard A. Friedmanm (NEJM, 2014; 371;1666-1668): “Antidepressant’s Black-Box Warning – 10 years later”. The rate or suicidal thinking or suicidal behaviour was 4% in the treated cohort, in comparison to 2% in the placebo arm. Something to think about.
