Magyar regisztrálóknak:
Tájékoztatjuk Önöket, hogy ennek a konferenciának csak angol nyelvű aktív felülete van, (ahol csak Euróval lehet fizetni) technikai okok miatt kérjük, a személyes adatoknál
NE Magyarországot válasszák, hanem bármely más országot, különben a regisztrációs felület átugrik a magyar oldalra. A későbbiekben a számlázási adatoknál már nincs erre szükség, itt kérjük a pontos számlázási címet jelöljék.
Megértésüket és együttműködésüket köszönjük!
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
Traumatic brain and spinal cord injury represent some of the most complex and demanding challenges in the field of medicine yet the real significance of these diseases remain obscure for the public. And the silent epidemic spreads rapidly: despite of a decreasing incidence in developed countries neurotrauma evolves as a worldwide health care problem representing the primary cause of death and disability in the young, active population and one of the three most frequent causes of death worldwide.
Despite of ongoing research activities and developments in the last decade the failure of clinical trials led to a kind of devastation and hopelessness in this field but fortunately enough -and thanks to the devoted work of our scientific community- clinical trials are back to our field and developments in various territories led to new hope that the road from bed to bedside is open and clinicians may offer new targeted therapies to well classified subtypes of brain and spine injury.
The International Neurotrauma Society considers the 11th INTS Symposium an important mile stone in this journey from basic research to the healing of the injured; here, in the conference it will be our job and responsibility to unite and coordinate our efforts to ignite and fuel further research programs, grants and trials in an attempt to provide a better care for the injured in the near future.
The INTS Symposium comes back to Europe after 8 years and symbolically its venue is at the border between East and West. The organizers do hope that this location will further facilitate novel interactions and research plans between representatives of high income countries and those of the less developed ones while also providing an opportunity for companies, advocate groups and clinical as well as research teams to reach out to Eastern Europe, the Balkan and the former soviet republics to establish novel partnership programs to develop research potential, implement scientific evidence based guidelines and improve neurotrauma care.
Appreciating that a thorough and rational assessment of the pathobiology of CNS injury, together with a systematic bench to bedside approach, are prerequisite for any breakthrough in patient care, this symposium will strive to address these goals, providing an opportunity for the discussion of new treatment strategies as well as the consideration of the guidelines currently used in the management of patients suffering from severe traumatic brain and spinal cord injury. The event also will provide a forum to debate contemporary problems in neuro-rehabilitation and patient follow-up.
The host city of Budapest harbors a special atmosphere, with features of the medieval Castle-city, the exciting Central-European Party-Center, the colorful capital of touristic attractions, the culinary center of Central Europe nevertheless the organizers hope that you will recall the town as a spot where researchers and clinicians from the field of neurotrauma gathered and did re-unite to make a change in the fight against the silent epidemic.
Wish you a pleasant stay and a memorable time in Hungary and Budapest!
Yours truly,
Andras Buki M.D., Ph.D., D.Sc.,
vice president of the INTS
