Upcoming Medical Conferences in Ireland

How to Diagnose and Treat Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) and Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPN) is organized by European School of Haematology (ESH) and will be held from Mar 08 - 10, 2019 at Citywest Hotel, Dublin, Leinster, Ireland. Programme Summary: The "How to Diagnose and Treat Chronic Myeloid Leukemia and Myeloproliferative Neoplasms" uses a case based format to delve deeply into the relevant issues in diagnosis, prognostication, therapy selection, efficacy assessment, and management of toxicities for these patients. The format for this meeting will be highly interactive with a mixture of case based didactic lectures, roundtable discussions regarding challenging clinical scenarios, and debates on controversial areas of management. The faculty for this event represent the clinical and scientific leaders of the MPN community from Europe and the USA and we anticipate great opportunities for interactions and discussions. Clinical haematologists, hematology nurses, clinician scientists, hematology investigators,  and those in training will find great value in attending and participating in this event. Learning Objectives: • To understand the current diagnostic criteria for MPNs and CML, and their application particularly in challenging scenarios • To better understand the role of molecular mutation testing in diagnosis, prognosis, therapy selection and disease monitoring for CML and MPN patients • To be able to appreciate the clinical management of challenging scenarios in MPNS (i.e. early MF, accelerated phase MPN, CML-MPN overlap, young patient management, and CML blast crisis) • To better understand and apply current guideline based management of CML and MPNs • To be able to review the role and utilization of current approved therapies in CML and MPNs, as well as the potential role of agents in development.

10th Annual Congress on Controversies in Ophthalmology: Europe (COPHy EU) is organized by ComtecMed and will be held from Apr 04 - 06, 2019 at Clayton Hotel Burlington Road, Dublin, Leinster, Ireland. Course Description: The great success of the previous nine COPHy EU Congresses, held across Europe in Prague, Barcelona, Istanbul, Budapest, Lisbon, Sorrento, Warsaw, Madrid and Athens, as well as the enthusiastic feedback received from the most recent Congresses, confirmed the need for proceeding with the 10th edition of this dynamic Congress. Topics will include the treatment of retinal diseases such as age-related macular degeneration and diabetic macular edema, the role of anti-VEGF agents versus panretinal photocoagulation in the management of proliferative diabetic retinopathy, polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy, pathologic myopia, the current management of corneal diseases with the use of advanced technologies for corneal transplants, advances in ophthalmic imaging as well as novel medical and surgical glaucoma issues. Allowing ample time for speaker-audience discussion, the Congress aims at reaching up-to-date recommendations to ongoing debates even when data remain limited, through evidence-based medicine, including expert opinion. Participants will have the opportunity to take part in this vibrant meeting which will facilitate discussions on the shared experiences and opinions of leading local and international experts. Course Main Topics: • Central serous chorioretinopathy: acute vs. chronic management • Current imaging modalities: including OCT angiography • Diabetic macular edema: drug choices • Diabetic macular edema: retreatment choices – PRN vs. treat and extend • Genetics in AMD: importance in diagnosis and management • Myopic choroidal neovascularization • Neovascular ("wet”) age-related macular degeneration: drug choices • Neovascular ("wet”) age-related macular degeneration: retreatment choices – PRN vs. treat and extend • Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy: diagnosis and management • Retinal vein occlusion: treatment choices • Uveitis: infectious and noninfectious • Dyes in epiretinal membrane surgery • Submacular hemorrhage: management • Macular holes - surgical techniques and postoperative management • Management of macular schisis in pathologic myopia • Retinal detachment, inferior, recurrent, severe PVR (in phakic, pseudophakic eyes) • Scleral buckle in era of vitrectomy (in phakic, pseudophakic eyes) • Screening of the periphery in high myopia • Vitrectomy for epiretinal membranes with good or bad visual acuity • Vitreomacular traction Price: Participants - Physicians and Scientists: EUR 470.0 Trainees, Nurses, Students: EUR 360.0 Participants from Ireland (Daily): EUR 200.0 Participants from Ireland (Full): EUR 300.0 Trainees, Nurses & Students from Ireland and the UK: EUR 150.0 Speakers: Prof. Anat Loewenstein, Prof. Neil Bressler

Delivering Therapeutics Across Biological Barriers (E1) is organized by Keystone Symposia on Molecular and Cellular Biology and will be held from May 06 - 09, 2019 at Royal Dublin Society, Dublin, Leinster, Ireland. Course Description : The multi-disciplinary theme of crossing of biological barriers encompasses biology, chemistry, pharmaceutical formulation, polymeric and materials science, advanced cell biology, imaging, microfluidics, and drug-device combination research. The conference is at the interface between cell biology and the use of technologies to exploit such understanding in order to translate therapies to patients. The program comprises leading researchers from academia, institutes, as well as from the pharmaceutical and medical device industry. The goal of the meeting is to profile cutting edge research in specific areas of achieving drug delivery across biological barriers where a large translational impact would result for both industry and patients. Having cell biologists at the same delivery conference as technology developers and formulators will provide a thorough perspective on the tissue and cell barriers that must be crossed and this will help guide technology approaches to achieve that.
