ECTRIMS 2010: Gothenburg, 瑞典 · 13-16 October 2010

26^th Congress of the European Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis (ECTRIMS) and the 15^th Conference of Rehabilitation in Multiple Sclerosis (RIMS) which will be held in Gothenburg, Sweden, 13–16 October 2010.
第26屆歐洲MS治療研究委員會議以及第15屆MS復健研討會將於十月13-16在瑞典Gothenburg展開

In past years, Dr. Zamboni was allowed to present a poster for display on his research of CCSVI in MS and iron deposition in MS brains, as it related to chronic venous disease. He has never been invited to speak before. Dr. Zamboni will be presenting his research along with Dr. Zivadinov in the Main Auditorium as part of the Charcot Foundation presentation, as they go up against Dr. Omar Khan, co-author of the first negative opinion piece in the Annals of Neurology: To say that this is a big deal is an understatement.

And of course, the pharmaceutical companies will be there, presenting all their positive findings, sponsoring lectures and discussions and hosting dinners and events. What fun!

I actually wish I could go, but it's too far away, and too much going on at home. I hope we can get some reports from attendees, and I promise to link to those and any other news that comes out of the conference. I really wish we could all be flies on the wall as Dr. Omar Khan "questions" Dr. Zamboni.

我很希望我能夠去, 只可惜太遠了. 希望與會者能夠把一些內容post出來.
