Résumé: What makes suicide bombers capable of sacrificing themselves for a belief? Why do members of one race believe they are superior to another? How do subliminal messages affect the outcome of political polling? Using the tools of neuroscience and social science, researchers have learned a great deal about the brain's role in human behavior and interactions. This November, international scientific leaders and young investigators will convene for the first Barcelona Social Brain Conference, an exciting two-day event featuring talks, poster presentations, and a public lecture on the interdisciplinary field of social neuroscience. Through a neuroscientific lens, participants will examine the human qualities of empathy, sacred values, and cooperation, and focus on the ways in which what they learn can be used to understand human conflicts.

Session I: From animosity to empathy: Neuroimaging studies on the building blocks of fairness

Session II: Genetic markers for good and bad cooperators. A biological approach to fairness in economic exchanges

Session III: Sacred Values: Anthropological and psychological perspectives on fairness in social conflicts

Résumé: Algeria is a country, characterized by a large area, from which more than 70% is desert. The instauration of a public healthcare policy with high quality all around the country, .requires the use of important technology means . Thus, hospital information management, opening up to disadvantaged areas through reliable and high quality means of telecommunication, and the upgrading of local expertise require the use of telemedicine.

It is within the aim of technology transfer to the socio-economic sector, that the researchers of the Center for Development of Advanced Technologies CDTA, have led the project: "telemedicine service to remote regions in Algeria" which end up with the realization of a mini-telemedicine pilot network, linking Birtararia hospital located in Algiers, Ouargla hospital (800km -south of Algiers-) and Hadjira health centre (900km southeast of Algiers).

To initiate an exchange of experiences and research results the field of telemedicine, the CDTA organizes a meeting between researchers and professional in the fields under the name of "International Workshop on Telemedicine: Uses and Challenges." that will be held on November 29th 30th 2008, at the CDTA, Baba Hassan.

Résumé: The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health is partnering with The New York Academy of Sciences for the 2nd year to host a half-day symposium to evaluate progress in public health and human rights on the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

On December 10, 1948, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the first international recognition that human rights are absolute and inclusive of all, and that they should concern the entire international community. This doctrine has served as the foundation of international human rights law, and it continues to inspire international human rights treaties and declarations, regional conventions, and national constitutions.

Sadly, the work of the Declaration is far from finished. Some of the world's most neglected populations suffer the worst human rights abrogations, as well as the added burdens of disease and malnutrition. Where human rights are ignored, health care tends to be unequal, inadequate, or nonexistent.

Please join us as we examine the progress we have made in the 60 years since the Universal Declaration of Human Rights—and as we look ahead to navigating the roadblocks, contradictions, and challenges to public health and human rights at home and abroad.

Résumé: Infection as a major cause of cancer incidence and death Despite a considerable proportion of medical research devoted to understanding cancer and its causes, the role of chronic infections in carcinogenesis is frequently overlooked. According to WHO, up to 23 percent of malignancies in developing countries are caused by infectious agents. In developed countries, cancers caused by chronic infections amount to approximately 8 percent of all malignancies.

An infective agent is linked to some of the most common cancers. Helicobacter pylori causes gastric cancer, the second most important cause of cancer death worldwide. Papillomavirus causes the vast majority of cervical cancer, the second most important cause of cancer among women. Liver cancer, caused by hepatitis viruses, ranks sixth in worldwide cancer incidence. Nasopharyngeal cancer, an Epstein-Barr virus associated cancer, is the most common head and neck cancer in Southern China.

Résumé: Patients turn to alternative, complementary, and integrative medical therapies, which they learn about from support groups, the press, the Internet, and other non-medical sources. They learn that diseases and poor health can be prevented or reversed, and not just treated.

Since many of these therapies are outside mainstream medicine, physicians may not be familiar with these alternative therapies and may be uncomfortable discussing them with their patients or prescribing them.

The objective of this conference is to provide up-to-date scientific information on the use of various popular alternative and complementary medical therapies in the treatment of disease, the prevention of disease, and the promotion of general good health and well-being.

The conference will focus on separating what works from what doesn’t, with evidence-based discussions helping practitioners understand the value and the limitations of these treatments, and how to integrate them into a patient-specific management plan. By narrowing the educational gap among practitioners regarding these therapies, this program will ultimately translate into improved patient outcomes.

Co-Sponsored by the Cleveland Clinic and Northwestern Memorial Physicians Group, the conference is designed to be an exciting, provocative, and educational forum.

Résumé: This course will focus on the information needed by health care providers to understand, prevent, and treat venous disease by gaining knowledge of the range of treatment options available, from medical to minimally invasive surgery, to result in better outcomes and quality of life for patients with venous disease.

Résumé: There are numerous challenges in developing defenses, particularly medical countermeasures, or detection systems, to address biological or chemical threats. If the products or systems address only a particular agent, and have no other application, the cost of development and preparedness is enormously high relative to the perceived benefit of having these tools at hand. This Conference will focus on an array of topics in which new research has been focused on broad spectrum and platform technology approaches to discovering and developing defenses for biological and chemical threats that both leverage and integrate "everyday" applications.

Résumé: Advances in biomarker development are revolutionizing the way we study, diagnose and treat disease. However, progress in the development and use of biomarkers for diseases of the central nervous system has been limited by a number of difficulties - including inherent barriers associated with studying the brain.

Development of reliable biomarkers for brain disorders would dramatically accelerate research on the etiology, pathophysiology, disease progression and therapeutic development of many very prevalent and devastating diseases including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, and others.

During this 2-day meeting, international experts will gather to discuss the latest advances in biomarker technologies and biomarker development for brain disorders, as well as the logistical, regulatory and funding challenges experienced by scientists working on clinical trials for biomarkers.

Résumé: Ask any mountain climber or deep-sea diver: when it comes to oxygen deprivation, timing is everything. The body is not only affected by how long it goes without oxygen, but also by the time it takes for its cells to react to this shortage of oxygen, also known as hypoxia. Both rapid and delayed responses have a profound impact on normal physiological function, and on the progression of diseases such as pulmonary hypertension, sleep apnea, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders.

Join us for this exploration of transcriptional and pathophysiological responses to hypoxia, and of the sensing mechanisms responsible for detection of oxygen level changes in the body.

Résumé: Image-guided ablation (IGA) has evolved considerably in the last decade into a practical tool for the management of smaller, discrete tumours in many organ systems. The appropriate and effective use of these devices requires an understanding of case selection, image-guidance skills, radiologic follow-up and importantly its place alongside other therapies. ESGAR has therefore brought together an expert multidisciplinary faculty for a two day informal workshop aimed at both priming and enhancing an image-guided ablation service.

The workshop will include multidisciplinary management, open discussion of live cases along with equipment and device familiarisation. Delegate members are limited to forty so as to enhance the learning experience. If your interventional service is seeking to expand in this area early application is advised.

Résumé: The isirv International Symposium is envisioned as the first of an annual series of meeting to work toward identifying best practices in viral respiratory disease surveillance. The continuing occurrence of highly pathogenic avian influenza in humans and outbreaks of diseases such as SARS underscores the critical need to increase the exchange of information between epidemiologic and virologic human viral respiratory disease surveillance networks, and between human and animal surveillance networks. Various forms of unilateral and multilateral collaboration and assistance will be discussed with the goal of bringing developing countries closer to the international surveillance networks. Ongoing annual meetings are proposed to sustain the momentum towards achieving international consensus, as well as practical implementation of surveillance methods consistent with national and/or regional resources.
