Upcoming Medical Conferences in Detroit

A Hands-On Approach to Sinus Lift Augmentation: Anatomy Treatment and New Innovations is organized by University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry and will be held from Sep 13 - 14, 2019 at University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry, University of Detroit Mercy Corktown Campus School of Dentistry, Detroit, Michigan, United States of America. Credits: 14 CEU's 10 CEU's - Lecture 4 CEU's - Hands-on Course Overview: This two-day course includes lectures, live-surgery recorded surgical videos and hands-on program specifically designed to discuss and apply sinus lift grafting principles and techniques to establish a healthy foundation for proper dental implant placement. The course will give clinicians a perspective of how to evaluate the patients medically and dentally to determine if a sinus lift is suitable for them. Medically, we will discuss how to avoid factors that may lead to complications and when ENT assessment is required. Dentally, we will assess anatomical consideration to determine which technique is most suitable for sinus lift. Further, it will also discuss rational and application for internal versus external sinus lifts. Multiple different techniques will be demonstrated through clinical cases and surgical videos including conventional sinus lift and new methodology using CSA and SLA techniques. A practical approach to review the surgical procedures that can aid the clinicians in day-to-day practice will be used. Finally, a hands-on program will be implemented using specially designed study models to perform internal and external sinus lift procedures. Participants will perform sinus lifts using new SCA and SLA techniques as well as conventional techniques. This will include the implementation of bone-grafting and membrane usage with simultaneous implant placement. Combination of lectures, surgical videos, and hands-on experience will benefit the participants in evidence-based decision making for successful treatments. The clinical cases will be presented to recapitulate and discuss rationale, indications, techniques used as well as the sequential treatment plan for predictable and successful outcomes. Education Objectives: • Understand maxillary sinus anatomy and pathology • Be able to evaluate patients medically before sinus lift and recognize when to refer to ENT to reduce complications • Learn sinus anatomy and how to maneuver around it to increase success • Be able to determine when internal versus external sinus lift is required • Learn the steps involved in sinus lift techniques (Conventional, New SCA/ SLA) • Understand principles and indications for performing sinus lift alone or with simultaneous implant placement • Understand pharmacology for proper sinus lift management The Hands-on Surgical Workshop Learning Objectives: • Perform internal sinus lift with simultaneous implant placement using SCA techniques • Perform external sinus lift using SLA technique Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

A Multidisciplinary Approach to Head and Neck Cancers is organized by University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry and will be held on Sep 20, 2019 at University of Detroit Mercy, Detroit, Michigan, United States of America. This Course has been approved for a maximum of 6.5 CEUs. Course Overview: Although cancers of the head and neck region only account for five percent of all cancers reported yearly in the human body, 30 percent of these cancers occur in the oral cavity. That is roughly 22,000 new cases per year if cancers of the lip are not included. Between 6000 and 7000 deaths per year occur becauseof oral cavity cancer. Cancers of the oral cavity left untreated can have devastating effects on critical life functions for people who have this disease. The oral cavity cancer diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation is challenging because there are many different types of tissue located in this relatively small area and this area has numerous functions (speech, mastication, swallow, cosmesis). The choice of treatment and rehabilitation must take into account the potential loss of function in this area. A well-coordinated multidisciplinary team is required to provide optimal cancer treatment outcomes and survivorship. The objective of this symposium will be to review all aspects of oral cavity cancer diagnosis, treatments and rehabilitation with presentations from all disciplines involved. Specific attention will be paid to the diagnostic difficulties of oral cavity lesions, cutting edge treatments of challenging cases and how to optimize the rehabilitation of these patients. Objectives: • Review basics of head and neck cancer risk, diagnosis and treatment • Review multidisciplinary approach to head and neck cancer care • Specific attention will be given to oral cancers including oral cavity and oropharynx cancers • Review of the HPV cancer related epidemic • Define cancer survivorship for head and neck cancer patients and the importance of oral health • Review how head and neck cancer treatment can affect oral health Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

PWR! Therapist Training and Certification Workshop is organized by Parkinson Wellness Recovery (PWR) and will be held from Sep 28 - 29, 2019 at DMC Sports Medicine - Rehabilitation Institute of Michigan, Detroit, Michigan, United States of America. Eligible participants: Physical and Occupational Therapists, Physical and Occupational Therapist Assistants, PT, DPT, PTA, OT, OTA students Accreditation:  Approved for 1.5 CEUs in New Mexico Course Description: Recent advances in basic and clinical science research suggest exercise and learning approaches may protect, repair, and optimize function in persons with Parkinson disease (PD).1-12 To be effective, proactive rehabilitation paradigms are needed that deliver ongoing programming for life, starting at diagnosis, and that are guided by the essential principles of learning and neuroplasticity.12 Participants will be introducedto a comprehensive research-based framework called Exercise4BrainChange® to guide clinicians in how to implement essential principles of learning and neuroplasticity identified in the literature to real world practice. Techniques will be described that advocate forced use, progressive difficulty, reinforcement, active engagement, empowerment, attention to action, sensory awareness training, and neural readiness (e.g., aerobic conditioning, mental imagery). Each of these principles is rooted in research in exercise science, motor control, and motor learning. This framework will be integrated with an understanding of the pathophysiology of Parkinson’s disease for greater specificity of training. Objectives and Goals: • Discuss recent advances in Parkinson disease etiology, pathophysiology, and diagnostic criteria. • Recognize motor and non-motor symptoms and how they interfere with function and present barriers to participation. • Summarize recent advances in basic and clinical neuroscience that have brought exercise (aerobics and skill acquisition) to the forefront in PD as it relates to optimal brain function and skill acquisition. • Explain the significance of targeting the training of amplitude into function (PWR!Moves®) as the foundation for a comprehensive PD-specific program. • Perform the Basic 4 | PWR!Moves® in 5 positions: prone, supine, all 4’s, sitting, standing, and explain how they target foundational skills that become impaired in people with PD and how that interferes with function. • Vary the goal of how the Basic 4 | PWR!Moves® are instructed and explain how that may differentially target multiple symptoms of PD (e.g., rigidity, bradykinesia, incoordination, automaticity). • Describe how working on each of the Basic 4 | PWR!Moves® provides a PD-specific approach to targeting general fitness problems related to flexibility, strength, coordination, balance, and posture. • Demonstrate how PWR! Boosts can be a stand-alone program or integrated into PWR!Moves® exercises and discuss why they are important for PWP. • Demonstrate effective use of modeling, mental imagery, attentional focus, external cues, instruction, and reward-based and task-specific feedback to achieve optimal engagement for optimal performance and learning. • Explain the significance of implementing PWR!Moves® as a foundation for PD-specific exercise across settings (therapy and community) that can be a stand-alone program, or that can be integrated into task-specific training or other research-based community exercise programming (e.g., treadmill, cycling, pole walking, yoga, boxing, dance, Tai Chi). • Develop a comprehensive treatment plan for individuals with different disease severity using video case studies that is consistent with PWR!4Life™ essentials and the European Guidelines. • Implement PWR!Moves® exercise progressions using video cases to illustrate real world implementation of Exercises4BrainChange® framework across disease severity. • Discuss the unmet needs in PD rehabilitation and possible solutions to their resolution through novel paradigms and community partnerships.

Description: Improved techniques, new, safer sclerosing agents, and high patient demand for in-office aesthetic procedures makes Sclerotherapy Training for nurses and physicians a must for any physician practice wishing to expand their services. Over 80 million Americans suffer from unsightly venous disease and the vast majority (75%) of these is cosmetic in nature which you will understand and be able to treat after completing the training. Visible veins give the impression of age and poor health and though many people wish to receive treatment, they are unaware of the safety, effectiveness, and lack of discomfort associated with newer sclerotherapy methods. Sclerotherapy by injection uses small amounts of detergent solutions to irritate the vein walls and achieve ultimate closure of the unwanted vein. Cosmetic laser centers and vein clinics perform these procedures not only because they are lucrative and simple to perform, but also because their patients receive impressive results using both laser vein therapies and traditional sclerotherapy using FDA approved detergent sclerosants. EMT's comprehensive sclerotherapy training will take you from the prospective patient through the consultation process as well as teach you the latest techniques and protocols used today. Program Overview: The Sclerotherapy seminar is a combination lecture and workshop where learners will participate in didactic lectures in the morning followed by hands on training in the afternoon. Learners will understand how to use FDA approved sclerosants for various cosmetic vein indications and will also gain a proficiency in the administration as well. The purpose of the training is to help learners provide enhanced patient care to those who present themselves with various  medical and cosmetic vein conditions. Procedures which have not been taught in their previous medical education.  Learning Outcomes: • To acquire the necessary skills to properly identify the ideal candidate who will maximally benefit from the Aesthetic Procedures and will also acquire the technical skills to perform such skills to benefit patients aesthetically.  • To educate physicians further concerning their base knowledge of venous anatomy and pathophysiology of medical and aesthetic venous disease. Improve their diagnostic skills concerning medical associated venous disease and improve patient outcomes. • To acquire the necessary skills to properly identify the ideal candidate for cosmetic sclerotherapy through physical examination and be able to administer treatments in a safe and efficacious manner for greater patient satisfaction. Educational Objectives: • Practice procedures such as cosmetic sclerotherapy injections competently, safely, and effectively for their patient.
