Innovative treatments and research discoveries are constantly emerging in our field, and the ESPGHAN Meeting is at the forefront of education provision and knowledge exchange. Our community strives to discover, discuss and share the latest novelties and advancements, and use them to enhance the standards of care for patients and help paediatric gastroenterology, hepatology, and nutrition professionals, improve their practice.

We are thrilled to invite you to join us in Helsinki, Finland for 4 days of top-quality research and science, plus many opportunities to learn, connect and collaborate with colleagues from across Europe and beyond!

In recent decades, the intestine has been valued as a second brain. Thus, different lines of research have focused on the study of the connections between the intestine and the brain, mainly in the area of ​​mental health. Recent evidence points to the neuroendocrine communication between both organs as a potential mechanism underlying the development of neurological pathologies. Deposits of the synuclein protein have been found in the intestine early in relation to brain deposits, although its functional relevance is unknown up to date. In addition, results from different lines of research suggest that alterations in intestinal homeostasis at the level of the microbiota and barrier function (permeability) could be present in the very early stages of PD. Finally, recent observational studies in patients with Parkinson's point to the presence of symptoms of the gastrointestinal tract domain, mainly constipation and irritable bowel without predominance of diarrhea, as early non-motor manifestations prior to the development of motor manifestations, and therefore, with predictive potential for the future development of PD. Despite the growing interest that these findings have aroused in both fields, there is no defined line of joint research between the area of ​​neurogastroenterology and the area of ​​neurology in our environment.

This workshop aims to bring knowledge about the connection between both fields to the respective specialists, answering questions such as: Is the intestine a gateway for neurological conditions? And is there a connection between neurogastroenterology and neurology in the onset of PD? Furthermore, this workshop is a unique opportunity to connect different professionals from both areas, both in the clinical field and in the field of basic research, and promote collaboration between different research groups with the consequent generation of transversal research projects of a translational nature that delve into the study of disease mechanisms and have a high impact on practical application.

OBJETIVES:

Present and update the evidence on the relevance of the gut-brain axis interaction in the development of neurological pathologies such as Parkinson's Disease.

Generate collaborations between the field of gastroenterology, especially neurogastroenterology, and the field of neurology, in order to establish relationships between different professionals from both areas and joint lines of research.

Held annually across Europe, the upcoming Euroanaesthesia will take place in the stunning city of Lisbon. This event will centre on education, knowledge exchange, and innovation in anaesthesia, intensive care, pain management, and perioperative medicine. It also offers a prestigious platform for showcasing cutting-edge scientific research to an international audience in a vibrant venue.

Join us in person in Lisbon, or participate virtually from the comfort of your home or office. Wherever you are, and whatever your needs, we have a solution for you!

It is with great pleasure that the ESE – Erasmus School of Endoscopy announce a series of live porcine hands-on ESD and Third Space Endoscopy workshops in the training centers of the Erasmus School of Endoscopy in Rotterdam in the Netherlands, the School of Health Sciences – University of Minho (ECS-UM) in Braga, Portugal and the Experimental-Research Center ELPEN, in Athens, Greece.

ESD and Third Space Endoscopy related techniques are increasingly practiced in Europe with a growing need for intensive individual training. We have developed a training program to master these techniques in a realistic setting using a live porcine model.

Next to hands-on training, the management of potential complications such as bleedings and perforations will be taught under guidance of an international faculty consisting of renowned experts in the field.

We hope that this unique workshop will serve the need for advanced training in this exciting and developing area of interventional endoscopy and look forward to welcoming you in Athens, Braga and Rotterdam!

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Fully equipped live porcine model workstations
