ISSHP 2019 is organized by Reachem AB and will be held from Oct 02- 04, 2019 at Lund University, Lund, Scania, Sweden. Description: The theme of the conference-“Thinking out of the box” has dual purposes. Firstly, to gather the world experts in preeclampsia, as well as outside experts from related fields in hypertension and cardiovascular disease, to broaden the understanding and facilitate new collaborations. The second aim of the conference is to invite world-leading experts in air pollution research, to increase the awareness of air-born particles as a serious contributing factor to human health in general, but to pregnancy in particular. Recent findings have demonstrated an alarming association between exposure to air pollutants and an increased risk of developing preeclampsia. Air pollution in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) is a tremendous health problem. These countries have the highest maternal mortality rate in the world, with preeclampsia being a leading cause. Increased insight into environmental risk factors for preeclampsia pathophysiology is crucial to enable preventive measures and to protect pregnant women from air pollutions worldwide. Topics: • Prediction, diagnosis and screening models • Oxidative stress • Metabolomics • Central nervous system • Environmental factors • Old drugs-new indications • Genetics in preeclampsia • Basic science • Cardio-vascular mechanisms • Kidneys • Global health Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

International Society of Nephrology (ISN) Frontiers Gothenburg 2019 is organized by International Society of Nephrology (ISN) and will be held from Oct 03 - 06, 2019 at Gothenburg, Vastra Gotaland County, Sweden. This Meeting will cross-discipline and bring together clinicians, scientists and epidemiologists working in nephrology, cardiovascular and respiratory medicine. Cardio-renal syndrome describes and classifies the various interrelationships between the heart and the kidneys. However, the link between diseases involving the heart, the lungs, and the kidneys demands investigation to unravel new pathophysiologic mechanisms. Through an interactive and high-quality scientific program, this meeting will: • Present the latest cutting-edge science and innovation in kidney-heart-lung connections. • Increase awareness and recognize the interactions among the kidneys, the heart and the lungs that may impact the development of diseases and various co-morbidities. • Cultivate and develop novel concepts for pathogenesis of kidney disease and related complications associated with chronic kidney disease and transplantation. • Provide a unique platform for active interactions among the three disciplines and foster cross-disciplines research collaborations so to further our understanding of the important connections between the kidneys, the heart and lungs. • Stimulate new hypothesis for translational research and identify opportunities and targets for developing novel therapeutics. • Promote collaborative clinical trials across the three disciplines. Through a better understanding of the underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms linking the kidneys, heart and lungs, ISN Frontiers Gothenburg 2019 hopes to further identify potential novel targets that enable and facilitate the development of more effective therapeutics in the (clinical) nephrology arena. Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

Adult Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) for respiratory failure and septic shock is organized by Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) and will be held from Oct 07 - 10, 2019 at Karolinska University Hospital, Solna, Stockholm, Sweden. Description: This ELSO course is intended for physicians (intensivists, surgeons etc), nurses, perfusionists and other health care professionals, who either work in an ECMO program or who are in the process of starting one.The course will be conducted by the faculty of the ECMO Center at Karolinska. It will include simulations of ecmo patients, practical training in managing the ECMO circuit with change of different components etc, computer simulations of physiology and didactic lectures. Simulations and practical training will be performed in small groups of 6 participants together with one or two instructors. The lectures will cover subjects like components of the ECMO circuit, indications for ECMO, contraindications, managing the patient on ECMO, cannulation strategy, physiology, anticoagulation, troubleshooting etc. General objectives: After having completed the course, the participants   should have increased both their theoretical knowledge and their practical skills in managing adult patients on ECMO for respiratory failure and septic shock. Simulation session: Team training is essential in the simulation session. The participants will be trained in team communication. They will realize that in an ECMO circuit emergency situation, some members must focus on resuscitation of the patient and some on managing the problem with the ECMO circuit. Scenarios involving ECMO circuit failure will be simulated and the learners will be trained in problem identification as well as patient management and problem solution. Simulation is conducted in groups of 6 participants with two or three instructors. Wet lab training session: During the wet lab session each participant should gain practical knowledge of assembling the ECMO circuit, priming the circuit, changing oxygenator and changing pump head. 6 participants are trained by two instructors. Didactic lectures:  The objective of the lectures is to provide knowledge to the learners regarding the subject of the respective lecture. There are 12 learners during each lecture. The learners are instructed to interrupt the lecturer and ask questions when needed. Short discussions during the lectures are encouraged. The “Patient cases” part involves presentation of patient cases. The cases are presented by two instructors part by part and the learners are encouraged to discuss different possibilities to manage the respective problems or complications. This part of the course is very interactive and the objective is to stimulate the learners to use the knowledge they have gained during the course in a clinical situation.
