Chers Collègues,
Chers Amis,

L’unité de médecine de la fertilité et endocrinologie gynécologique organise le premier colloque de 2023 dédié à mieux comprendre et traiter l’adénomyose.

L’adénomyose est une pathologie utérine fréquente et très sous-estimée en terme de prévalence. Sa physiopathologie et sa sémiologie diagnostique sont de mieux en mieux connues. De plus, les conséquences potentielles de cette pathologie sur la fertilité, la PMA et le déroulement des grossesses commencent aussi à être bien étudiées. La présence d’un désir de grossesse, la volonté de conserver l’utérus et la sévérité de l’adénomyose font partie des paramètres de choix du traitement.

A cette occasion, nous avons le plaisir d’accueillir plusieurs experts nationaux et internationaux, venus nous parler du diagnostic et des conséquences de l’adénomyose dans la vie fertile de nos patientes.

Nous espérons vous y rencontrer nombreuses et nombreux.

Medical education and common cardiovascular issues in neonatology

 Dear colleagues and friends,

We are delighted to welcome you all to the 2023 Annual Meeting of the Swiss Society of Neonatology in Aarau. This year’s edition is created around topics that were selected by our members, based on a survey conducted to strengthen the impact of all members on proceedings and meetings of The Society.

As you can see from the program, the main sessions are all related to real-world, practical questions in education of future neonatologists and management of cardiovascular problems frequently occurring in clinical care. These topics are not only relevant to neonatologists, paediatricians, nursing staff and allied health care specialists working in the intensive care setting, but also to many colleagues from intermediate and special care units.

We do hope you will enjoy the meeting and we would like to encourage you to contribute to the lively discussions and networking opportunities at the congress. We would also be very happy if you would leave us some feedback and help us with suggestions and topics for upcoming meetings, in order to provide The Society with the best possible meeting, addressing areas of current interest that are relevant to its members.

Dear colleagues and friends,

We are pleased to announce that registration and abstract submission is now open for the XVIth International Nidovirus Symposium, which will take place from May 14-18, 2023, in Montreux, Switzerland.

Over the past 40 years, the Nidovirus Symposium has evolved into a triennial event covering all aspects of nidoviruses and nidovirology.  This eclectic group of viruses are found in humans and animals and include pathogens such as SARS-CoV-2, zoonotic SARS- and MERS-coronaviruses, common cold viruses, and many other economically and highly relevant livestock viruses.

​This meeting will provide the opportunity for researchers from across the world to share their latest discoveries and scientific results and exchange ideas face to face. The meeting will take place between the 14th and 18th May 2023 with the stunning backdrop of Lake Geneva at the Montreux, Music and Convention Centre (2m2c), Switzerland.

We have an excellent scientific program planned that includes many international experts in the field of Nidovirology, including keynote talks from Mike Ryan (WHO, Switzerland), Christian Drosten (Charité, Germany), and Ralph Baric (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA). Other confirmed speakers include Edward Holmes, Lisa Gralinski, Stanley Perlman, Linda Saif, Elizabeth Campbell, Vincent Munster, Shane Crotty, and many more respected colleagues.

We are happy to share that Vincent Racaniello will be onsite to broadcast an episode of TWIV from the Symposium. Furthermore, we are pleased to announce that Virus Research will publish a Nidovirus Special Issue and waive the APC fees for papers submitted to this issue for attendees of the Symposium.

After the last online meeting in 2021, we are excited to have an in-person meeting again and are looking forward to welcoming you here in Switzerland!

Chers · ères Collègues,

Nous avons l'immense plaisir de vous convier à la Quatrième rencontre Franco-Suisse de gynécologie oncologique.

Les tumeurs gynécologiques connaissent chaque année des avancées considérables avec un impact concret sur les traitements proposés au quotidien. Cette évolution est source d'espoir mais également de controverse, avec des implications pour l'ensemble des professionnels engagés dans le traitement des tumeurs gynécologiques.

Cette année la 4ème rencontre se focalisera principalement sur le cancer de l'ovaire mais intègrera également une mise à jour dédiée aux avancées dans le domaine des autres cancers gynécologiques.

Dans un esprit convivial de partage de connaissances, moyennant un programme scientifique francophone étoffé et animé par des spécialistes éminents de la Suisse et de la France, nous vous invitons à aborder les avancées dans le domaine du cancer du col et de la vulve, tout en discutant également des dernières avancées thérapeutiques du cancer de l'utérus et de l'ovaire.

Cet événement s'adresse aux gynécologues, oncologues, radio-oncologues, chirurgiens viscéraux, psychologues, psychiatres, médecins généralistes, soignants, sage-femmes, physiothérapeutes, ainsi que tout autre spécialiste intéressé par la problématique des tumeurs gynécologiques.

Nous espérons vous y accueillir nombreux · ses,
Au nom du comité d'organisation
Pr P. Mathevet, Dre F. Herrera, Dr A. Sarivalasis
