4D Echocardiography is rapidly evolving, providing new perspectives in the diagnosis and management of cardiac diseases. With the latest 4D echo software and imaging systems, clinicians can enhance confidence and diagnostic accuracy across a wide spectrum of structural heart diseases. Starting with heart failure patients, ventricular volumes and contractility can be assessed with precision, while in valvular heart disease, 4D imaging enables real-time visualization of pathology. Diagnostic questions are answered more accurately, making patient management more effective and reliable.Our intensive Hands-on Echo Course is designed to provide all the practical skills required for the routine clinical use of 4D echocardiography. By the end of the course, participants will confidently acquire and analyze left and right ventricular volumes and ejection fraction while accurately assessing a broad range of valvular abnormalities.We are waiting for you either onsite in Thessaloniki or online, to exchange knowledge, share experience and create lasting memories together.

RNA metabolism in the brain is an emerging field, and recent discoveries in this nascent area are poised to be game-changers for our understanding of cognitive function at both molecular and systems levels. Neuronal activity influences diverse RNA-related processes in a cell-type- and synapse-specific manner in both the developing and adult brain. The importance of these processes is underscored by recent studies demonstrating that the metabolism of coding RNAs, microRNAs, long intergenic non-coding RNAs (lincRNAs), tRNAs, and circular RNAs (circRNAs) is essential for the development, function, and homeostasis of neurons as well as non-neuronal cells. Consequently, dysregulation of RNA metabolism can lead to devastating brain disorders, including autism spectrum disorders and neurodegeneration. This EMBO Workshop will bring together early-career researchers and leading experts to discuss the latest advances in RNA metabolism underlying neuronal physiology and brain disorders. This EMBO Workshop will feature a dedicated session on RNA-based therapeutic approaches, focusing on the challenges and opportunities in developing RNA therapies to reverse cognitive deficits.This EMBO Workshop will provide a unique platform for scientific exchange in the serene setting of the Himalayan town of Darjeeling, fostering professional development and networking, particularly for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Selected abstracts will be invited for short talks and lightening talks, presented either on site or via a virtual platform. To encourage broad participation, this EMBO Workshop will offer registration fee waivers, as well as travel and childcare support for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows.

Dear Friends and Colleagues, It is our great pleasure to welcome you to The 5th European Congress on Controversies in Leukemia, taking place 26–27 October in Munich, Germany.This congress has been carefully designed to bring together leading clinicians, researchers, and innovators from across Europe and beyond, creating a dedicated forum for open, evidence-driven dialogue on the most pressing and debated questions in leukemia management today.The congress will focus on:Place of ASCT in the era of molecular medicine in AMLMRD monitoring in AMLPlace of chemotherapy in the era of immunotherapy in ALLWe are delighted to welcome you to Munich, a city known for its rich culture, innovative spirit, and warm hospitality.This vibrant setting provides the perfect backdrop for the open and collaborative discussions that define the congress.Looking forward to welcoming you to Munich to what promises to be a truly informative, inspiring, and collaborative meeting.Warm regards,THOMAS CLUZEAUCONFERENCE CHAIR
