Spotlight on Science Meetings, Conferences and Events brings you information on the following: Cardiovascular Review Course for Cardiology Boards and Recertification to be held on 8/27/17 - 8/31/17
Mayo Clinic Cardiovascular Review Course for Cardiology Boards and Recertification (CVBR) will provide the cardiologist and internist with an overview of all aspects of cardiovascular medicine. Well-known experts in each field will give in-depth, engaging lectures on state-of-the-art subjects in cardiovascular medicine. Each lecture will be followed by a question and answer session with an audience response system. Although this course is designed specifically to prepare the cardiovascular specialist for the cardiovascular boards, it will also provide the practicing cardiologist or internist with an update on the latest knowledge and advances in cardiovascular medicine.
COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES
We have included a sampling of our 164 CVBR course objectives for your review. Upon conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:
- Describe the etiology and pathophysiology of restrictive and other non-dilated cardiomyopathies and use this information to effectively diagnose and manage patients
- Recognize and diagnose venous thromboembolism (VTE) and pulmonary embolism using the appropriate algorithm for VTE diagnosis based on a pretest probability of disease assessment strategy
- Identify cardiovascular disease risk factors in patients without known CAD and use them to predict the risk of future coronary events
- Identify the classification and mechanisms of action of antiarrhythmic agents
- Explain the physiologic changes that occur with pregnancy
For a full list of our course objectives, please contact us at cvcme@mayo.edu.
INTENDED AUDIENCE
This course is intended for cardiologists, cardiovascular fellows, and general internists who want both a live forum and online platform to continue learning year-round. This option includes both admission to a 5-day live course in Rochester, Minnesota and the use of the online personalized and adaptive course before, during, and after your attendance (one year subscription).

Spotlight on Science Meetings, Conferences and Events brings you information on the following: IPF Summit to be held on 8/21/17 - 8/23/17
The inaugural Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) Summit is the only event to focus solely on IPF.
This unique meeting is your opportunity to join the leading minds across biopharma and academia to reduce the expansive translational gap that exists in current IPF drug development.
Across 3 jam-packed days the brightest minds from the likes of Boehringer Ingelheim, Promedior, Fibrogen and many more will be sharing their insight and lessons learned to collectively enable the community to:
- Effectively translate into the clinic by better recapitulating IPF through robust in vitro and vivo models
- Define more meaningful preclinical endpoints to aid identification of novel targets and development of more effective IPF therapeutics
- Validate non-invasive biomarker and diagnostic techniques for back translation and ultimately achieve greater clinical benefit

Spotlight on Science Meetings, Conferences and Events brings you information on the following: FASEB Conference on Lysophospholipid and Related Mediators - From Bench to Clinic to be held on 8/20/17 - 8/25/17
This is the leading international conference in lysophospholipid biology, attracting participants from all continents. This SRC will focus on the physiological and pathophysiological roles of sphingosine 1-phosphate, lysophosphatidic acid and other lysophospholipids. New and established basic scientists, clinical researchers, academics and industry partners are brought together to share expertise and foster collaboration, thereby accelerating the pace of scientific discovery and facilitating translation from early research to clinical practice. Indeed, the development of Fingolimod, the first oral treatment for multiple sclerosis, is an excellent example of this, as first reported at this conference in 2001.
The conference provides opportunities for substantive interactions between early-stage and established basic, translational and pharmaceutical investigators with an interest in lysophospholipid biology in health and disease. Presentations and posters (with several prizes) will range from molecular aspects of lysophospholipid biology through to emerging therapeutics, genetic and disease models and molecular modelling. Late-breaking scientific advances and junior investigators will feature on the final program, which includes keynote lectures, the Journal of Lipid Research Lectureship and a careers workshop for early career scientists.

Spotlight on Science Meetings, Conferences and Events brings you information on the following: Epigenetics Boot Camp to be held on 8/21/17 - 8/22/17
This two-day intensive boot camp integrates the principle concepts of epigenetics and the effects of risk factors on the epigenome as we step through the key components of designing and executing DNA methylation studies. Led by a team of scientists with more than 31 years of combined expertise in the field of environmental epigenetics, the workshop will integrate seminar lectures with hands-on computer sessions to put concepts into practice. Emphasis will be given to leveraging existing resources from ongoing studies and initiating new investigations. The afternoon lab sessions will provide an opportunity to work hands-on with real methylation data generated by the Illumina Infinium MethylationEPIC (850k) BeadChip platform. Participants will learn and practice data handling, cleaning, and basic analysis of epigenome-wide DNA methylation data.
By the end of the workshop, participants will be familiar with the following topics:
- Principles of epigenetics
- Concept ideation and study design
- Sample collection and processing
- Laboratory methods and platforms for analysis
- Data handling and cleaning
- Data analysis
- Study design advantages and pitfalls
- Emerging epigenetic topics and laboratory platforms
Investigators at all career stages are welcome to attend, and we particularly encourage trainees and early-stage investigators to participate.
