ECTS / IBMS Training Course – Joints: formation, function and failure with a focus on osteoarthritis

Some of the presentations of the ECTS/IBMS training course are available for you as PDF files.

Katy Schmidt – JOINT DEVELOPMENT DURING EMBRYOGENESIS

George Schett – JOINT TISSUES: CARTILAGE, SYNOVIUM, BONE AND TENDON

Richard Aspden – JOINT FAILURE: BASIC SCIENCE AND BIOMARKERS

Mary Goldring – NOVEL TREATMENTS INCLUDING THE ROLE OF CELL-BASED THERAPIES

John Loughlin – GENETIC RISK FACTORS IN JOINT DISEASE

Saturday 7 May 2011, 09:00-16:30

ECTS/IBMS member              € 95

Non-Member                           € 145

Aims and learning outcomes

By the end of the course participants should have enhanced their understanding of:

the formation and function of joints
joint pathologies and their origin
current and novel approaches to treatment in osteoarthritis
the difficulties in performing trials in this complex disorder and how to overcome these

Who should attend?

This course will be of interest to basic scientists and clinicians with an established interest in joint disorders, as well as those moving into this field. Students and allied health professionals are also warmly invited. While the focus of the clinical and translational part of the course is on osteoarthritis, there are general presentations on joint form and function that will appeal to a much wider audience. The discussion session at the end will also benefit from wider audience participation.

Bone histomorphometry and related approaches to the study of bone

COURSE ORGANISERS

Klaus Klaushofer (Vienna, Austria)
Richard Eastell (Sheffield, UK)
Bente Langdahl (Aarhus, Denmark)

COURSE OVERVIEW

Histomorphometry has long been a very powerful tool in the resources of clinicians and basic researchers alike. It provides a wealth of information on tissue health and dynamics but has a drawback in that the information it provides is a ‘snapshot’ of the condition of the tissue at the time of biopsy.

This disadvantage is overcome when histomorphometry is combined with other techniques such as immunohistochemistry, µCT, FTIRI and computer modeling, providing a more complete picture of the tissue’s condition over time.

The purpose of this training course is to provide a state of the art overview of all these techniques, their outcomes, and what can be deduced from this information from bench to bedside. The course is designed to be of interest to rheumatologists, endocrinologists, orthopaedic surgeons, veterinarians, and basic researchers.

The ECTS Training Course has been accredited by the European Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME) to provide 6 hours of European external CME credits. Each medical specialist should claim only those hours of credit that he/she actually spent in the educational activity.

The EACCME is an institution of the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS), www.uems.net. EACCME credits are recognized by the American Medical Association towards the Physician’s Recognition Award (PRA). To convert EACCME credit to AMA PRA category credit, contact the AMA.
