Dear Colleagues and Friends, 

We are kindly inviting you and your colleagues to the International Perforator Flap Dissection Course which will take place in Brno, Czech Republic, on September 9-13, 2022.

We are delighted to inform you that this year the course will be hosted by four superstars of our speciality - Dr. J.P. Hong, Dr. G.G. Hallock (USA), Dr. J. Macia (ES) and Dr. E. Cigna (ITA). This will be a rare opportunity to make our minds influenced by a magic spirit of pioneers, who shift significantly the borders of microsurgeons' possibilities to help those who need us. Experiences from meeting these giants can be strongly influential especially for younger colleagues. 

Compared to the last year's successful course hosted by Dr. J.P. Hong and Dr. P. Berrino, this year the course has been expanded so that it now includes live surgeries section as well as workshop on preoperative diagnostics at Masaryk University simulation centre, where participants will be guided by experienced lecturers to map the vascular supply to the flaps using colour duplex sonography on live models and also Angio-CT in selected clinically relevant cases.

This dissection course has been designed to address the needs of the residents in plastic surgery who wish to learn flap dissection as well as more experienced plastic surgeons who wish to extend their repertoire of flap surgeries. All of our exceptional guests will be present in anatomical lab and participate in the teaching process in person! The course will be held at the University Centre for Surgical Anatomy providing fresh-frozen cadaver specimens enhanced by an advanced technique of coloured silicone vascular injections emphasizing the vascular anatomy of the flaps and facilitating dissection. A hands-on approach will be used with no more than two participants per cadaver specimen. We still have limited spaces left for hands-on participation.

This course will be followed by a day of lectures. The audience will have an exceptional opportunity to learn from the world leaders mentioned above. We anticipate their key note lectures, which will provide us with extraordinary educational experience. The lecture day will also provide space for nearly 30 presenters in free papers category. The best free paper and the most difficult case with the best microsurgical reconstruction solution will receive an award equal to 50% of the registration fee.

The last day of the program will be spent at the Simulation Center of Masaryk University where participants will have an opportunity to examine vascular anatomy of perforator flaps by means of colour duplex ultrasound devices on live models and also examine perforators on CTA in selected clinically relevant cases and compare their position in the Anatomage table (3D Anatomy & Virtual Dissection Platform). 

In the same day, our experts will perform selected surgeries, which will be streamed to the Simulation Centre of Masaryk University. Simultaneously, participants will have an opportunity to follow and discuss with the surgeons during the live surgeries. 

Please, don't hesitate to share this with your colleagues and residents. 

We are looking forward to meeting you in Brno and we believe you will acquire new ideas and skills from inspirational mentors, share your experience and make new friends. 

Welcome to the International Perforator Flap Dissection Course in Brno.

A magzati szívhiba a leggyakoribb fejlődési rendellenesség, prevalenciája 9.4/1000 élveszületés. A koraszülés mellett a csecsemőhalandóság meghatározója. A szívfejlődési rendellenességek antenatalis felismerése javítja a preoperatív és postoperatív mortalitást és morbiditást valamint a neurológiai kimenetelt, különösen hypoplasias balszívfél szindróma, nagyér transzpozíció és súlyos coarctatio aortae esetében.

A prenatalisan felismert szívhibák esetében a szülés helye, ideje, módja, szülés körüli speciális teendők igénye megszervezhető, így a prognózis javítható.

Az egyes szívhibák méhen belüli felismerési aránya tükrözi az adott centrum, ország szűrési hatékonyságát.  A szűrés hatékonyságát a szűrést végző elméleti és gyakorlati felkészültsége nagyban befolyásolja, mint ahogyan az alkalmazott szűrési protokoll is.

Terveinkben olyan egynapos, elméleti és gyakorlati tréning szerepel, ahol kis létszám (5-10 fő) mellett az érdeklődő nőgyógyász, szonográfus kollégáknak lehetőséget biztosítanánk, hogy elmélyüljenek a magzati szív és keringési rendszer I. és II. trimeszteri szűrésének módszertanában.

Tervezett tematika:

1. Rövid, bevezető gyakorlati rész: fontos és hasznos gépbeállítási paraméterek, Doppler technika bemutatása a gyakorlatban.

2. Elméleti rész:
- II. trimeszteri szűrés, síkok, normál anatómia (nőgyógyász kolléga).
- I. trimeszteri szűrés, síkok, ami elvárható (nőgyógyász kolléga).
- Síkok szerinti pathológiák: négyüreg, kiáramlási pályák síkja, 3 eres sík… (gyermekkardiológus)
- Hypoplasias balszívfél sziondróma
- Nagyértranszpozíció
- AV szeptum defektus

3. Gyakorlati rész: „hands on” tréning. A részvevők aktív bevonása, síkok kivitelezésének gyakorlatban történő bemutatása.

Dear Colleagues,

It is our pleasure to invite you to participate in The 8th International Conference on Prehypertension, Metabolic Disorders & Cardiovascular Disease, which will take place in Zagreb, Croatia, November 3-6, 2022.

Prehypertension is a part of the continuum from normotension to hypertension, among other causes, it is a part of a dynamic process of stiffening and aging of the arteries and of the heart with its consequences.

The International Academy of Cosmetic Dermatology (IACD) is delighted to return to Malta for its 20th Anniversary World Congress. We have fond memories of our inaugural meeting held in Malta in 1999 which set the tone with its impressive scientific program and outstanding social
activities. The Officers and Board of Directors look forward to returning to this superb venue and to a most informative Congress and remarkable Maltese hospitality.

Lawrence C. Parish MD MD(Hon) FRCP(Edin)
President, International Academy of Cosmetic Dermatology

It has been more than 2 years ago since the World Congress of the IACD was planned to happen in my hometown Dresden, Germany, also known as  Florence on the Elbe River. Many efforts had been made and a programme of high scientific impact was created with the support of ICAD and many colleagues from all over the world. But with early spring 2020, the first wave of SARS-CoV-2-pandemic hit Europe, and the lockdown spread. While we hoped to have the congress in 2021, other waves of the pandemic made it not happen. Nevertheless, the spirit of the World Congresses of IACD has never been lost. With the new location on the Isle of Malta and the leadership of distinguished ​colleague Joseph Pace, who chaired the inaugural IACD Malta Congress in 1999​, and his crew, the dreams ​will surely ​come true. We all hope to celebrate Cosmetic Dermatology again and continue the long line of successful and memorable events. Friendship, science, and social life will find a new start under the Mediterranean sun. It has become more important than ever that people of many different countries meet in a peaceful way to exchange ideas and experiences. Congratulations to the scientific committee for a superb programme. I wish – and I am sure it will happen – a most successful congress.

Hon. Congress President

On behalf of my colleagues, it is a great pleasure to invite you to join us in Malta for the 20th Anniversary World Congress of the International Academy of Cosmetic Dermatology. This will be the first large face-to-face Dermatology meeting in our country after the pandemic. We have worked hard to overcome logistical problems and put together an interesting and informative scientific programme. We promise you the warmest of welcomes to our beautiful country and look forward to seeing you!

Thank you, Larry, and Thank you Uwe for your kind words of encouragement. This will indeed be a Congress with a difference, impacted in various ways by both the Covid pandemic and even more worryingly the terrible events in Eastern Europe. Our solidarity, our love, and our prayers go to the brave people of Ukraine in their time of suffering when they were put to the test and not found wanting. We also keep in mind all those who lost their lives, most on the principle of love of their country, but many others used as cannon fodder, without knowing why they were at war.

Together with my marvellous team, we have worked hard to address the seemingly endless logistical problems that have arisen, most of which have been successfully negotiated, with us finally being in the position to make the website active this very week. We have, together with Uwe Wollina, agreed to utilise the core scientific programme prepared in such detail for the Dresden meeting ( see the invitation to Dresden speakers) for which we are most grateful. We will continue our efforts to enable our profession to recover from the adversity of the last two years and resume the personal exchange of medical advances and science, as well as the camaraderie that has been the hallmark of IACD meetings since 1999. With your active participation and support, we hope not to be found wanting! In this situation, flexibility has to be the order of the day as events unfold here, there, and everywhere. This applies to the scientific programme in particular and this will be finalised later once final confirmations have been received.

Together with my colleagues in MADV, I wish to extend a warm welcome to all registrants and accompanying persons so that, together, we can make this a meeting to remember, again.
