Mindfulness in Nursing Seminar is organized by Ausmed Education Pty Ltd and will be held during May 24 - 25, 2018 at Rydges Sydney Central, Surry Hills, New South Wales, Australia. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 10.30 CPD Hours. Need for Program : Mindfulness training has been found to reduce stress and burnout in staff, improve focus and concentration, and improve patient care. Evidence-based mindfulness programs, interventions, and techniques have been found to assist in the management of a variety of conditions such as anxiety and depression, cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic pain, pregnancy, childbirth and parenthood, and enhancing the well-being of university students. Mindfulness can be used in our daily lives, the workplace, and in assisting patients. Mindfulness is about being aware and nonjudgmentally accepting thoughts, emotions and body sensations as they arise, noticing their impermanence and letting them pass. This increases our ability to pay attention to what we are doing and regulate our thoughts, emotions and body sensations. Paying attention, self-regulation and compassion for self and others is essential to our own well-being and to the provision of high-quality patient care. With increasing busyness and distractions in the workplace, it can become very difficult for nurses and midwives to remain focused and present to the needs of those for whom they provide care. Purpose of Program : The purpose of this interactive program is to provide an introduction to mindfulness practice. By considering the principles of mindfulness and the evidence for its use in healthcare, participants will gain insight into how mindfulness can be used by nurses and midwives to reduce stress and risk, improve well-being and enhance care in the workplace. Learning Outcomes : At the conclusion of this program, it is expected that the participants will be able to: ● Explain what is meant by the term ‘mindfulness’ and discuss how it is being used in healthcare ● List at least three benefits of how practicing mindfulness can result in the provision of high quality healthcare ● Explain how mindfulness can reduce risk in health care delivery ● Use a range of mindfulness techniques for self-care, and apply these to improving patient care Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

Vascular Surgery 2018 is an event intended to provide an exclusive platform for new researchers, scholars, vascular surgeons, physicians, students and educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, and concerns, practical trials faced and the solutions adopted in the concerned field. The two days of educational program will include keynote presentations, oral presentations, and poster presenters on the advanced techniques as well as papers in the field of Vascular diseases, arteries, veins and lymphatic circulation, minimally-invasive catheter procedures, Surgery for Veins and Lymphatic Diseases, Vascular Imaging & Endovascular surgeries. Vascular surgery deals with the diagnosis and sub-surgical procedures for the management and treatment of disorders/diseases related to the vascular system, i.e. veins, arteries and the lymphatic system, excluding the coronary and intracranial arteries. A vascular surgeon is concerned with treating the blood vessels of the body including arms, legs, organs and other tissues of the body, except that of heart and brain. Vascular surgery is advised when a vascular disease cannot be treated by less invasive or non-surgical methods. The purpose of vascular surgery is to treat those diseases related to veins and arteries known as arterial and venous diseases. Vascular surgery involves techniques relating to endovascular surgeries such as balloon angioplasty with or without stenting, aortic and peripheral vascular graft replacement, thrombolytic therapy, and other aides for vascular reconstructions. Conference Highlights: • Vascular Trauma • Venous Surgery • Vasular Diseases of Lower Limb • Carotid Artery Diseases • Vascular Diseases of Upper Limb • Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms • Thoracic Aortic Vascular Surgery • Thoracoabdominal Aortic vascular Surgery • Surgery for Veins and Lymphatic Diseases • Vascular Imaging • Vasular Malformations • Acute Ischaemia • Renovascular Surgery • Mesenteric Ischemia • Congenital diseases of vasculature • Lymphedema • Venous Insufficiency • Vascular Bypass Grafting • Techniques of Open Vascular Surgery • Anesthesia for Vascular Surgery • Lower Limb Amputations • Endovascular Surgery Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

102nd Annual Meeting of the German Society for Pathology is organized by MCI Deutschland GmbH, German Society of Pathology / Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Pathologie e V (DGP) and will be held during May 24 - 26, 2018 at Estrel Hotel, Berlin, Germany. Course Description: The motto combines three thematic complexes (tumour evolution and tumour heterogeneity, rare diseases, digital medicine), which take up important developments in recent years. We hope that we can show with this exciting program, even the young academic, how lively and changeable pathology is. In 2003, the "Human Genome Project" ended with the publication of the sequence of the human genome and forms the basis for follow-up projects aimed at a comprehensive genomic characterization of human cancers. In the meantime, many common cancers have been molecularly characterized at a breathtaking speed. It reveals an inter- and intra-individual diversity and complexity (heterogeneity), which is a reflection of the diverse etiologies and the clonal diversification of cancer. Cancer biology shows the characteristics of microevolutionary biological processes and poses new challenges for research, diagnostics and therapy. The second topic is dedicated to the rare diseases that are considered orphans of medicine. They often provide special insights into cell and tissue biological processes. A national action plan published by the National Action Alliance for People with Rare Diseases (NAMSE) in 2013 has the overarching objective of better informing the treating and the treated. The medical care structures should be expanded and competences bundled. The thematic focus on rare diseases takes up this overriding initiative and creates a forum at our annual conference. The third topic focuses on digital medicine. It combines different content: digital doctor's workstation, digital image analytics (deep learning), digital image archiving, handling and evaluation of "big data" and dealing with modern digital information platforms. In the meantime, digital medicine has a fixed, forward-looking status in pathology. We hope that these three topics will bring together an exciting program that will also show young academics how alive and changeable pathology is. Main topics of pathology: Tumor evolution and tumor heterogeneity Rare diseases Digital medicine Topics of the working groups: Dermatopathologie Gastroenteropathologie History of Pathology Gynecology and mamma pathology haematopathology Cardiac, vascular, renal and transplant pathology Computer science, innovative imaging and biobanking Pediatric and fetal pathology Bone, joint and soft tissue pathology Head and Neck Pathology molecular pathology thorax pathology Uropathologie cytopathology Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
