Ο ΕΕΣ προσέφερε στιγμές χαράς σε ηλικιωμένους στο Γηροκομείο Αθηνών ενόψει του Πάσχα

Cryo-focused ion beam/scanning electron microscopy (cryo-FIB/SEM) and cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) are emerging, versatile tools for structural cell biologists, aiming at the exploration of molecular landscapes of cells and tissues. Methods and workflows developed to meet this aim are challenging and continuously evolving. This EMBO Practical Course combines focused lectures with intensive hands-on sessions for an in-depth exploration of cryo-FIB/SEM and cryo-ET methods, for participants with prior experience in cryo-electron microscopy. Lectures will provide insights into the principles, methods, and recent achievements of FIB/SEM and electron tomography. Practical modules will allow participants to explore the full cryo-FIB/SEM sample preparation workflow, including sample vitrification and site-specific lamella thinning, advanced procedures such as plasma-focused ion beam milling and correlative cryo-lift-out, as well as tomographic data acquisition and an introduction to current data analysis strategies. The course will include a dedicated day of elective practical sessions to explore advanced methods in data acquisition and processing. These sessions are designed to stimulate curiosity, encourage innovation, and showcase the evolving frontiers of cryo-ET in an interactive and exploratory setting.This EMBO Practical Course aims at early-career researchers and facility staff members looking to deepen their practical and theoretical understanding of cryo-FIB/SEM and cryo-ET, and to apply and further disseminate these advanced methodologies in structural and cellular biology research.

The annual meeting of the European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) brings together physicians, arrhythmologists, electrophysiologists, and all healthcare professionals involved in arrhythmia management from around the world.Next April, we will gather in Paris, the city of lights, for three transformative days.From early-career professionals to global innovators and leading experts, we will exchange knowledge, showcase advances, and translate science into action with innovative approaches for better care.More than a congress, EHRA 2026 will be a catalyst for progress.We will spotlight the most impactful developments for clinical practice today and tomorrow.Whether you’re shaping guidelines, testing new technologies, mentoring the next generation, or building your EP journey — this is where you need to be.

This course is a hands-on workshop for surgical anatomy, operative and interventional technics for liver tumours. The course will focus on obtaining thorough understanding of functional liver anatomy and the technical aspects necessary for aspiring liver surgeons. Furthermore, surgically relevant liver diseases, diagnostics, perio-perative management, radiological interventions and the role of transplantation for liver diseases will be discussed in an evidence-based, multidisciplinary environment.
