Pathophysiology meetings & conferences

IOC World Conference on Prevention and Injury & Illness in Sport

April 10-12, 2014 Monaco

The IOC World Conference on Prevention of Injury & Illness in Sport will provide the world’s leading sports medicine experts with an opportunity to present their work to an international audience of physicians, therapists, scientists and coaches.

The conference will present evidence-based information on how to prevent injuries and other health problems in sport. This includes a multidisciplinary perspective on epidemiology, risk factors, pathophysiology and injury mechanisms.

6th International Conference on Children's Bone Health

22-25 June 2013 Rotterdam, Netherlands

The aim of this Conference is to bring together scientists and clinicians from a wide range of disciplines to gain a better understanding of the growing skeleton in health and disease. The scope ranges from basic molecular mechanisms to clinical aspects, from bone physiopathology to treatment and we invite anyone with an interest in bone metabolism and bone mass in children, adolescents and young adults to attend.

The Conference Programme is designed to present researchers, physicians, and allied health professionals with an overview of state-of-the-art research, with plenary lectures by some of the world's leading experts in the field, as well as workshops, Round Table discussions on topics linked to paediatric bone health, and oral and poster sessions.

The Conference will offer investigators from around the world an opportunity to meet with each other and with industry representatives.

2013 Society of Toxicologic Pathology Scientific Symposium

June 16–20, 2013 Portland, Oregon

The 2013 STP Scientific Symposium, to be held on June 16–20 in Portland, Oregon, will cover fundamental biology and recent innovations in the toxicologic pathology of the digestive tract and pancreas.

The focus of this international meeting is to correlate advances in the morphologic evaluation and integration of findings in the digestive tract and pancreas with functional, cellular and molecular knowledge in a series of plenary and poster sessions. The meeting will provide a venue for interactive discussion of the current state of knowledge in both conventional and specialized nonclinical safety studies of the digestive tract and pancreas. Core sessions will include Normal Digestive Tract Functional Anatomy and Physiology, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Digestive Tract Toxicity and Risk Assessment, Digestive Tract Carcinogenesis, Biomarkers of Digestive Tract and Pancreatic Injury and Disease, and Pancreatic Toxicity and Carcinogenesis. The symposium keynote address will focus on the gut microbiome and its critical interactions with the digestive tract epithelium and the mucosal immune system during health and disease.

Individual presentations will focus on a mix of traditional and contemporary strategies for the pathophysiologic and toxicologic evaluation of the digestive tract and pancreas. The meeting will also provide a unique forum for reviewing recent progress in developing and optimizing best practices for routine and specialized toxicologic pathology evaluation of digestive tract and pancreas across academia and the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. The symposium will also feature practical case study presentations as part of two scientific sessions: the session on Digestive Tract Toxicity and Risk Assessment and the session on Pancreatic Toxicity and Carcinogenesis.

The digestive tract and pancreas are rapidly growing areas of toxicologic inquiry and regulatory concern, and this symposium promises to be a great opportunity to review and expand your knowledge in this important field.
