Call for Abstracts: American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society Specialty Day 2013
March 23, 2013 Chicago, Illinois
Abstract Deadline: June 8, 2012
This meeting is designed to identify areas of recent research in the field of orthopaedic foot and ankle surgery relevant to practicing physicians, surgeons, and allied health professionals. This information will be transmitted through scientific paper presentations, question and answer sessions, spotlights on surgical techniques, symposia, current concepts, journal club discussions, clinical insights and/or debates.
Course Objectives
Upon completion of this meeting, learners should be able to:
Recognize and analyze key issues, recent research, current data reflecting clinical trends, emerging surgical techniques, pre- and postoperative procedures, technological innovations, knowledge and skills in the field of orthopaedic foot and ankle patient care
Integrate new treatment options into attendee practices
Compare and contrast current operative treatment strategies for foot and ankle disorders
Identify ways to avoid, analyze and manage complications of foot and ankle problems
Identify and adapt strategies to improve patient outcomes
Call for Papers: Institute of Mathematics and Its Applications Conference on Mathematics of Medical Devices and Surgical Procedures
Extended deadline
Mathematics is playing an ever increasing role in the area of health and medicine, through the use of modelling, statistics, and virtual simulations. These mathematical tools are becoming invaluable in testing the feasibility of surgical procedures and medical devices prior to clinical trials. Furthermore, there is a very realistic possibility over the next twenty years that computer models coupled to patient-specific imaging will be used in real time in the clinical environment to directly advise on treatment strategies. The aim of this conference is to bring together the diverse community of mathematicians, engineers, physicists, clinicians involved in using applied sciences and mathematics to develop and use medical devices to discuss both the latest research and the needs of the clinical community and patients.
The topics that will be discussed will broadly include cardiovascular devices, medical imaging, ophthalmology, cell biology, disease transmission, orthopaedic, advanced simulations, as well as health in ageing. The conference programme will include keynote speakers drawn from both clinical and mathematical communities, along with contributed presentations and poster sessions. The programme will also include breakout sessions in certain topics as well as refreshment breaks for informal discussions. Social events include a drinks reception and a conference dinner.

Call for Papers: 29th International Seating Symposium
The University of Pittsburgh, Department of Rehabilitation Science & Technology Continuing Education Program (RSTCE) now invites proposals to present at the 29th International Seating Symposium - Building the Future to be held from 8:30 AM Thursday, March 7 to 1:00 PM Saturday, March 9, 2013. Pre-Symposium Workshops will take place on Tuesday, March 5, and Wednesday, March 6, 2013. This ISS will return to Nashville, TN, and the Gaylord Opryland Hotel. The 2011 ISS in Nashville was a big success with record attendance.
Also, based on feedback the Exhibit Hall will open a day earlier on Wednesday, March 6, giving attendees more opportunity to visit the Exhibits. Food and beverage will be available for purchase.
The ISS will once again offer full-day preconference sessions that include the Fundamentals of Wheelchair Seating and Mobility on Tuesday, March 5; and additional preconference workshops on Wednesday, March 6th.
Proposals are now being accepted for Paper and Poster presentations in addition to 1 hour and 2 hour Instructional Courses. For 2013 hands-on programs and advanced sessions are sought to take advantage of the resources in the exhibit hall that will be equipped with a large stage for presentations.
Deadline for Submission of Proposals; May 30, 2012
Proposal Topics
The symposium will include scientific and clinical papers, a research forum, in-depth workshops, panel sessions, and an extensive exhibit hall. Presentations should address the seating and wheeled mobility issues of people with disabilities across the lifespan such as neuromuscular disorders, spinal cord injury and diseases of the spinal cord, orthopedic conditions, systemic conditions, obesity, or polytrauma. Proposals that address service delivery issues including evidence-based practice, models of practice, policy and funding, documentation, and outcomes are also very much encouraged.
Submissions
Abstract submissions will only be accepted via our web-interface.
General Content
Presentations must be educational in format and intent. They must not have the appearance of product promotion, commercial bias, or advertisement.
