Λιπομέτρηση με μέθοδο DEXA: Η σύγχρονη προσέγγιση στην πρόληψη και την ανάλυση σώματος

Dear all, It is our great pleasure to invite you to the upcoming webinar organized by the Hellenic Society of Breast Surgeons (HSBS), which willtake place on Saturday, June 6, 2026. We are delighted to welcome BREASTICS24h once again to our program, further strengthening the growing international character of this annual event. This year's webinar, titled "Virtual MDT with Live Voting: Critical Decisions in Borderline Cases," continues ourcommitment to fostering dynamic, collaborative, and clinically meaningful discussions. We are proud to host once again an outstanding panel of distinguished international experts in the field, who will share their experience, challenge perspectives, and engage in live debates on complex and often controversial cases. Through a multidisciplinaryteam (MDT) approach, participants will gain valuable insights into real-world decision-making in borderline clinical scenarios. A key highlight of the webinar will be the interactive live voting, allowing attendees to actively participate and compare their clinicaljudgment with that of leading experts, adding a stimulating and thought-provoking dimension to the discussions.Building on the consistent success of our previous webinars, this year's program will also feature: Expert-led case presentations and in-depth discussions, Live debates on critical management decisions, Two 15-minute satellite lectures during the lunch break, highlighting emerging topics in breast care. The event will be divided into two sessions, each lasting 2 hours and40 minutes, ensuring a balanced combination of comprehensive learning and engaging interaction. We warmly invite you to join us on June 6, 2026, and be part of this unique educational experience. Together, let us continue toadvance knowledge and excellence in breast surgery.We look forward to welcoming you to what promises to be an engaging and inspiring webinar.The Course Secretariat

About the Practical CoursePangenomics has emerged as a transformative paradigm in genomics, moving from single linear reference genomes to pangenomesthat capture the full spectrum of genetic variation within species. Recent breakthroughs include the completion of the human pangenome reference by the Human Pangenome Reference Consortium (HPRC), revealing millions of previously hidden variants and structural variations that traditional approaches missed. Advanced graph-based representations now enable comprehensive analysis of complex genomic regions, including highly variable immune loci and centromeres.Key technological advances include improved algorithms for pangenome construction (PGGB, WFMASH, IMPG), sophisticated visualization tools (ODGI), and novel genotyping methods from graph references (PanGenie, POVU). Course organizers and instructors contributed directly to HPRC, developing these cutting-edge methodologies and software. These advances are transforming genome evolution, population genetics, and disease research across diverse organisms.This EMBO Practical Course addresses a critical gap in computational biology training. While pangenomics tools are rapidly advancing, researchers lack comprehensive hands-on experience with these specialized methods.This EMBO Practical Course uniquely combines theoretical foundations with practical implementation across the entire pangenomics workflow—from graph construction through variant analysis. By training the next generation of computational biologists in these cutting-edge approaches, we will accelerate the adoption of pangenomics methods and enable more complete characterization of genetic diversity in research worldwide.Artwork by BirdcapAbout EMBO Courses and WorkshopsEMBO Courses and Workshops are selected for their excellent scientific quality and timelines, provision of good networking activities for all participants and speaker gender diversity (at least 40% of speakers must be from the underrepresented gender).Organisers are encouraged to implement measures to make the meeting environmentally more sustainable.

Dear friends and colleagues,We are happy to announce the seventh course to be held for the first time in Barcelona, Spain, in June 2026. The increasing endovascular treatment options and practice forces neurosurgeons to be informed about these treatment strategies, since they take part in the decision process whether their patients should undergo endovascular or open surgical treatment.Only a small part of the neurosurgical community in Europe has practical experience in neuroendovascular treatment strategies. Young Neurosurgeons especially lack insights into the chances and challenges of endovascular therapies, which hampers their objective assessment skills for neurovascular diseases. A better understanding of endovascular therapies will improve the competence of Neurosurgeons. This course aims at young neurosurgeons that wish to achieve a basic understanding of endovascular treatment, including their strengths and pitfalls.The international faculty consists of dual-trained neurosurgeons as well as neurointerventional specialists that will be happy to provide insights into their endovascular activities and experiences.Course DirectorRamon Torné
