AO Foundation Course - Fundamentals of Soft-Tissue Management is organized by AOSpine International and will be held from Sep 27 - 28, 2019 at Johnson & Johnson Institute, Norderstedt, Hamburg, Germany. Target Audience: CMF surgeon, Neurosurgeon, Orthopedic surgeon, Research, Rheumatologist, Spine Surgeon Description: This 2-day educational event comprises lectures, case-based presentations, and small group discussions. In addition, a half-day anatomical lab session (with animal models) will give participants the opportunity to advance their hands-on surgical skills. The course is built using a modular structure and designed to make it highly interactive. The soft-tissue management topics addressed are acute wounds, wounds undergoing delayed healing, non-healing (chronic) wounds, soft-tissue deformities, and scars. This course is targeted at practicing surgeons, in all stages of their career, who are interested in furthering their knowledge and skills in soft-tissue management. Learning objectives: • Apply principles of the instrument and soft-tissue handling in the surgical treatment of acute and chronic wounds • Manage the healing process, restore form and function, and minimize pain • Apply evidence-based strategies and techniques to minimize surgical-site infection • Manage tissue changes due to environmental and patient factors in acute or chronic wounds • Recognize and treat soft-tissue defects, deformities, and scars Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

Rheumatology and Nephrology Refresher Course is organized by Forum for Medical Education / Forum fur medizinische Fortbildung (FomF) and will be held from Oct 24 - 26, 2019 at Chamber of Crafts Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 24 CME points. This practical training offers over 24 hours: • a comprehensive update for rheumatologists, nephrologists, internists and general practitioners • a topic review for medical assistants in preparation for the medical exam • a course book with the PowerPoint presentations of the lectures Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

Practical integrative structural biology is organized by Jan Kosinski and will be held from Nov 03 - 09, 2019 at CSSB, Center for Structural Systems Biology, Hamburg, Germany. Description: Characterizing the structure of macromolecular complexes is crucial for understanding their function. For many complexes, however, solving their structure using a single structural biology technique is very challenging. Integrative structural biology combines different experimental techniques with computational modeling to build structural models of such challenging complexes. Application of integrative structural biology requires an in-depth understanding of both different experimental approaches and computational modeling. To provide advanced training in such a highly interdisciplinary skill set, this EMBO Practical Course will teach how to interpret data from major structural biology techniques and how to integrate this data using computational methods. The course located at the Hamburg Unit of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory and the Center for Structural Systems Biology on the DESY campus will provide on-site synchrotron SAXS and MX beamlines for training. Hands-on practicals will use a well-studied model system, for which data from all main structural biology techniques are available. The participants will learn both how to collect at on-site structural biology facilities, how to analyze these data and how to subsequently build integrative models using major software packages developed by invited speakers. A guided visit to the European XFEL site is also included into the program, in part to trigger discussions on future integrative structural biology approaches. Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

27th Annual Meeting of the German Society for Sleep Research and Sleep Medicine (DGSM) is organized by Conventus Congressmanagement & Marketing GmbH, German Society for Sleep Research and Sleep Medicine / Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Schlafforschung und Schlafmedizin (DGSM) and will be held from Nov 07 - 09, 2019 at Hamburg Messe, Hamburg, Germany. Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

Bio-Europe - 25th Annual International Partnering Conference is organized by EBD Group and will be held from Nov 11 - 13, 2019 at Hamburg Exhibition Hall and Congress Ltd., Hamburg, Germany. Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

“Clinical reasoning using the MBCP & Recovery of upper limb and Hand Function”: The Bobath Concept is organized by International Bobath Instructors Training Association (IBITA) and will be held from Nov 18 - 22, 2019 at Hamburg, Germany. Target Audience Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists, in possession of an IBITA recognized basic course certificate will be accepted as participants in an advanced course. Course Content and Description • An advanced course must be a minimum of one week of 35 hours of teaching. (one hour = 60 minutes) • The instructor/student ratio should be an optimum of 1:10 and a maximum of 1:12. • Should there be more than 12 course members, another instructor is required to assist • The maximum number of course members is 24. • Advanced courses must include:  ○ Introduction of new material.  ○ Extension of present knowledge and skills at a deeper level. • An advanced level course must include daily treatment of patients by each course member on a maximum student/patient ratio of 2:1. • Evaluation by the instructor: The instructor should be able to identify potential instructors and record students’ strengths and weaknesses. Learning Objectives On completing an advanced course, each participant is expected (within the Bobath concept) to be able to: • Articulate a clear understanding how a change at the impairment level can impact on the patient’s clinical presentation and level of functioning. • Initiate and implement problem solving strategies for persons with neurological disorders. • Validate specific handling skills, environmental modifications and the use of verbal cues through self-evaluation. • Identify patient potential and achieve optimal function. • Consider the theoretical evidence base and in-depth movement analysis to assist treatment intervention. • Evaluate response to treatment using relevant outcome measures.

8th Annual Congress of the Germans knee society is organized by Intercongress GmbH and will be held from Nov 22 - 23, 2019 at Radisson Blu Hotel, Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany. Description: The technical advancement and digitization is also gaining increasing influence in knee surgery. This creates many exciting opportunities to improve our therapeutic measures or to develop new surgical techniques. In particular, the increase in precision and an expansion of the analysis option in the context of patient therapy can have a significant impact on the quality of care. As part of the congress, we would like to think outside the box, introduce you to the new, modern high-tech developments in knee surgery and discuss them critically with you. At the same time, in knee surgery there is also a return to traditional therapeutic measures or the basics of care, which have already been partly forgotten. Especially due to new technical developments, a renaissance of older therapeutic principles can lead to successful results. An important aspect of the congress will again be to use the synergisms of arthroplasty, sports traumatology and traumatology, so that the individual sub-specialties can learn from each other. Key topics: • Video session: tricks and tricks straight from the OR • Anatomy of the knee: always something amazing to discover something new • Focus: accompanying pathologies of the VKB rupture - that makes the difference • Primary Endoprosthetics - New Techniques, Perioperative Management • Traumatology put to the test: what is conservative? • Postraumatic, intraarticular malpositions - when and how to correct? • Program Crash Course: TEP, ASK and Trauma ("The Young Knee") Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
