EuroPCR, the annual world-leading Course in interventional cardiovascular medicine, has been taking place for over 30 years. It is tailored for all those dedicated to the sharing of knowledge and skills, and improvement of patient care worldwide: interventional cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, imaging specialists, radiologists, nurses, allied professionals and other practitioners, as well as researchers, innovators and industry representatives. The 4-day meeting addresses interventions for coronary and peripheral vessels, for the structural heart including valves, for hypertension, heart failure and stroke, while keeping the community up to date with all the very latest innovations in the field.
To benefit from the full value of the renowned EuroPCR learning experience, participants are encouraged to join the Course onsite. However, a digital package provides those connecting on the user-friendly platform with a selection of live-streamed sessions, and the opportunity to interact in real time with their peers in Paris and worldwide.
Hands-on training will once again be at the forefront of the Course. Participants of all levels will be able to sharpen their practical skills in a total of 220 workshops taking place in the 902 sqm Training Village, the innovative Simulation-based Learning Room and the Hands On Lab for small groups of participants.
50% of the Course is built from among the worldwide community’s total of 2,400 submissions to this year’s Calls for Scientific Abstracts, Clinical Cases, Images, Innovations and Late-Breaking Trials. 879 presenters from 78 different countries will be sharing their work. There were notably a record-breaking 129 late-breaking trials submitted to EuroPCR 2023, and the 50 being presented onsite will share the latest data with the community. Details of the full programme here: https://www.pcronline.com/Courses/EuroPCR/Programme/2023/2023-Course-Programme
The PCR’s Got Talent scientific abstract competition for under 40’s consists of three onsite rounds. It has met with great popularity since it first took place in 2015. Competitors benefit from onsite professional coaching for their communication and presentation skills, and the winner is announced in the Awards Ceremony. They obtain onsite and online visibility for their work, and an invitation to participate as Faculty in the subsequent edition of the Course.

Spanish courts hand down milder sentences for rapes if they are committed by the victim's partner or ex-partner
2023-05-09
Just four years ago, the Spanish Supreme Court pointed out in a ruling that there is no such thing as a 'conjugal debt'. In other words, a woman is not obliged to satisfy her husband's sexual needs. It may come as a surprise that this point still needs to be made, but the statistics speak for themselves. According to a national survey carried out in 2019, 7.5% of Spanish women over 16 years old have been raped by their partners or ex-partners.
These rapes are usually subject to less attention, and they tend to be "perceived as something less serious". So says Josep Maria Tamarit Sumalla, a full ...
Recurrent brain trauma may increase Alzheimer’s risk
2023-05-09
OAK BROOK, Ill. – New research finds that the brains of otherwise healthy military personnel who are exposed to explosions show an abnormal brain accumulation of amyloid-beta protein—a protein that plays a role in the development of Alzheimer’s disease. The results of the study were published today in Radiology, a journal of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).
Research over the last several decades suggests that there might be a relationship between repetitive or severe traumatic ...
A key protein for repairing broken nerves
2023-05-09
A study explores the role of the dynamin protein DYN-1 in axonal fusion. The axon is a long, thin protrusion of nerve cells that carries electrical impulses. Severed axons can be repaired by a highly efficient regrowth process known as axonal fusion. Previous research has shown that molecules involved in apoptosis—programmed cell death—are also involved in axonal repair. Because dynamin is involved in apoptosis, specifically in the recognition of dying cells, Brent Neumann and colleagues posited that dynamin might also be involved in axonal repair. The team severed axons in the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans, a multicellular nematode worm with just a few hundred ...
Crab populations are crashing. Could losing their sense of smell be one of the important reasons why?
2023-05-09
A new U of T Scarborough study finds that climate change is causing a commercially significant marine crab to lose its sense of smell, which could partially explain why their populations are thinning.
The research was done on Dungeness crabs and found that ocean acidification causes them to physically sniff less, impacts their ability to detect food odours and even decreases activity in the sensory nerves responsible for smell.
“This is the first study to look at the physiological effects of ocean acidification on the sense of smell in crabs,” says Cosima Porteus, an assistant professor in the department of ...

A new theory of what drives partisan conflict and hostility
2023-05-09
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Partisan conflict can be largely explained as differing views on two crucial tasks of society, according to a new theory developed by a pair of prominent social scientists.
In a new article published yesterday (May 8, 2023) in the journal Psychological Inquiry, Roy Baumeister and Brad Bushman say societies flourish by both amassing and distributing resources.
Conservatives focus on amassing resources, while liberals concentrate on distributing resources. The problem is both sides increasingly tend to disparage the value of what the other side champions, the authors said.
“Both tasks are absolutely essential for society,” ...
Earth’s first animals had particular taste in real estate
2023-05-09
Even without body parts that allowed for movement, new research shows — for the first time — that some of Earth’s earliest animals managed to be picky about where they lived.
These creatures from the Ediacaran Period, roughly 550 million years ago, are strangely shaped soft-bodied animals that lived in the sea. Researchers have long considered them enigmatic.
“It’s not like studying dinosaurs, which are related to birds that we can observe today,” said Phillip C. Boan, UC Riverside paleontology graduate student and lead author of the new study. “With these animals, because they have no modern descendants, we’re ...
Lifesaving solution dramatically reduces severe bleeding after childbirth
2023-05-09
A new solution, known as E-MOTIVE, could provide a major breakthrough in reducing deaths from childbirth-related bleeding, according to a landmark study published today by researchers from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the University of Birmingham.
Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) - defined as the loss of more than 500 mL of blood within 24 hours after birth - is the leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide. It affects an estimated 14 million women each year and results in around 70 000 deaths – mostly in low and middle-income countries - equivalent to 1 death every 6 minutes
“Postpartum haemorrhage is scary, not always predictable, ...
Customizing T cell-based immunotherapies in a ‘SNAP’
2023-05-09
University of Pittsburgh researchers have developed a universal receptor system that allows T cells to recognize any cell surface target, enabling highly customizable CAR T cell and other immunotherapies for treating cancer and other diseases. The discovery could extend into solid tumors and give more patients access to the game-changing results CAR T cell therapy has produced in certain blood cancers.
Described in a Nature Communications study published today, the new approach involves engineering T cells with receptors bearing a universal ...
