Upcoming Medical Conferences in Austria

Practical Implementation of Clinical Dosimetry in Nuclear Medicine Therapy is organized by European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) and will be held during Jun 18 - 19, 2018 at ESMIT Learning Centre, Vienna, Wien, Austria. The target audience for this medical event is physicists, with an interest in implementing dosimetry in their center but lacking the practical experience to take this forward. Course Content : This course will cover the essentials for the practical implementation of dosimetry in nuclear medicine therapy. Attendees will have the opportunity to work with raw scintigraphy data and will gain hands on experience in processing that data to calculate an absorbed dose. Practical examples will mainly follow PRRT therapy however the techniques and methodologies covered can be applied to a range of therapeutic applications. Topics include quantitative imaging and corrections for therapy imaging. TAC fitting and radiation transport for S value calculations. Methodologies for absorbed dose and radiobiology computation are also covered. Learning Objectives : • understanding of the fundamentals in absorbed dose calculations • practical experience in handling a range of dosimetry image data and performing dose calculations • gain confidence to implement dosimetry in their own centre Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

Chemical Development & Scale-Up in the Fine Chemical & Pharmaceutical Industries is organized by Scientific Update Ltd and will be held from Jun 19 - 21, 2018 at Renaissance Vienna Hotel, Vienna, Wien, Austria. The target audience for this medical event is Young Chemists, Organic Chemists/Medicinal Chemists, Development and Production Chemists, Chemical Engineers, Students, Experienced Chemists, Analytical Chemists, Managers. Course Description: Chemical process development is generally not taught as part of degree courses in higher education; the conversion of a synthetic route used for making milligram or gram quantities of a chemical into a process for manufacturing multi-kilogram and tonne quantities is typically learnt "on the job" by chemists in industry. For many years, little chemical development work was published in the literature, until the establishment of the Organic Process R And D journal by Dr Trevor Laird (Founder of Scientific Update). Even now, "tricks of the trade" are handed down within individual company organisations, and it can be difficult to gain an awareness of what is involved in chemical development, and of the skills and techniques required to efficiently scale up chemical processes. This three-day course, written and presented by a highly experienced process chemist from the pharmaceutical and fine chemical industry, provides a comprehensive overview of this fascinating and important element of the chemical industry. A logical investigative approach to all aspects of chemical development is described, with an abundance of case studies from literature, conferences and private communications. The multi-disciplinary nature of chemical development is emphasised, from the initial interaction with laboratory research scientists to the vital partnership with chemical engineers in the pilot plant and in the production environment. The lectures are interspersed with interactive problem sessions, enabling participants to share in the problem solving and troubleshooting typically experienced during chemical development. Course Objectives: • A logical investigative approach to chemical development and optimisation. • An insight into the factors involved in development and scale-up. • An appreciation of chemical engineering concepts, particularly mixing, heat transfer and process control. • A preliminary knowledge of statistical methods of optimisation. • Improved ability to decide which parts of the chemical process to examine in detail • Ideas for efficient resource allocation • Improved troubleshooting and problem solving ability Speakers: Dr Will Watson Time: 9:00 am to 5:00 pm Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

In addition to routine stainings and clinical pictures, relevant ancillary techniques (immunohistology, molecular biology) will be presented and discussed as well. The Summer Academy of Dermatopathology is a specialized Course meant for good-level dermatopathologists and for all those with interest in correlation of clinical and histopathologic features of skin diseases. At the end of the Course participants should be able to better diagnose skin disorders based on clinicopathological features, to select appropriate ancillary tests when needed, and to improve their knowledge of dermatopathological features of benign and malignant cutaneous diseases.
