The symposium is a two-day program. The first-day course Thyroid Nodules & Cancer: Cutting Edge Ultrasound And Molecular Diagnostics, aims to provide a foundation for practicing physicians in understanding the evolving role of clinical molecular testing and its integration with the contemporary ultrasound imaging for diagnosis and management of thyroid nodules and cancer. The plenary session entitled Frontiers in Thyroid Oncology, on the second day of the symposium, will review the clinical guidelines, address the controversies and bring new insight to the molecular and genomic theranostics in a didactic and interactive format. There will also be a Scientific Paper Presentations/Case Discussion session and a Multidisciplinary Tumor Board session, endured by the experts in the field. On the second day of the symposium will offer a platform for physicians in training and all academic and practicing physicians to and discuss their research work and clinical experience. It is indebted to the world prominent faculty to take part in this exciting scientific symposium. The session will fulfill the commitment to furthering the science of thyroid cancer towards the new frontiers. Miami Thyroid Oncology Symposium is organized by the Miami Cancer Research Center.

Emergency Medicine & Oral and Head & Neck Pathology for PCPs and Dentists is organized by Continuing Education, Inc. and will be held from Mar 07 - 14, 2021 at Royal Caribbean's Allure of the Seas, Miami, Florida, United States of America. Target Audience: Physicians, Physician Assistants, Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, Pharmacists, Dentists, Dental Staff Accreditation: • 14 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ • 14 ACPE Credits • 14 CE Credits • 14.0 Contact Hours • 7¾ Hours of Pharmacology for NPs Description: The purpose of these lectures is to update the diagnosis and management of topics of critical importance in the management of medical and pediatric emergencies. The subject of pain management in an era of narcotic abuse has been at the forefront of emergency care as well as public interest of late. The provision of pain relief is one of the sacred missions of emergency care. Yet, providers and patients are scrutinized alike in an age where narcotics kill as many patients as trauma does. How we collectively deal with painful conditions affects how we manage any painful condition. The science of resuscitation from cardiac arrest has been evolving continuously, and has been translated into clinical practice on a regular basis. How this impacts on patient care will affect the practice of primary and emergency cardiac care, as well as intensive care, radiology, and neurology critical care. Targeted temperature management has gained acceptance, and ECMO may not be far behind. The practice of medicine in general, and emergency care in particular, is affected by medico-legal considerations. One lecture is dedicated to an assessment and overview of how emergency care is impacted by this, with case overview and consideration for patient satisfaction and risk management. The evaluation of the patient with syncope or loss of consciousness from any cause entails resource management, as well as concern for many serious medical entities. One lecture will review guidelines set forth on an ongoing basis, with recommendations for evaluation and resource management given present evidence. Evaluation of pediatric emergencies will center of two presentations which may herald potentially lethal events: fever and trauma. Each has an extensive body of science attached to it, and these lectures will sort out science and recommendations as a clinical practice has evolved. The field of toxicology is continually evolving. Street drugs abound which did not even exist a decade ago. Antidotes have not historically been as important as supportive care, and the role of some of these is continually being defined. Topics: • Pediatric fever: management and update ○ Recognize serious bacterial infections ○ Describe suggested diagnostic work-up of the febrile infant based upon recognize guidelines and patient age ○ Identify life-threatening causes of fever • Syncope update: the evaluation of the patient with loss of consciousness ○ List causes for syncope which may cause morbidity and mortality ○ Discuss cost-effective work-up for the patient with history of loss of consciousness ○ Interpret different reports and recommendations in recent literature • Pain management options in the era of opioid anuse ○ Appraise the extent of the opioid crisis ○ Analyze options for treatment of pain without use of narcotics ○ Examine new developments and pharmaceutical developments of analgesics • Trauma in the pediatric patient ○ Discuss the extent and nature of non-accidental trauma ○ Report the extent and science of imaging in the injured child ○ Critique recommendations for diagnosis and management of the concussed adolescent ○ Analyze the role of anti-thrombolyics • What is new in toxicology ○ Cite substances of abuse which were not available even ten years earlier ○ Describe toxidromes which may elucidate what may have caused symptoms in the poisoned patient ○ Exemplify specific abused substances • Cardiopulmonary/Resuscitation update ○ Report changes in standard guidelines ○ Formulate resuscitation guidelines past standard CPR and advanced cardiac life support ○ Recognize the role of targeted temperature management, neuro-imaging and ECLS • Legal considerations in general, emergency and primary care. ○ Describe practices which may put the patient and practitioner at risk ○ Evaluate consequences of lawsuits to the well-being of the provider ○ Identify best practices to minimize lawsuits in emergency care ○ Demonstrate the magnitude of litigation and of defensive medicine
