ParadigMS is dedicated to improving Multiple Sclerosis patient care by translating science into clinically relevant continuing medical education for neurologists and residents in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa.
Date: December 7, 2023
Venue: Al Mezzoon 1, Conrad Hotel, Abu Dhabi, UAE
PROGRAM
UNFOLDING THE SUBJECT MATTER
The scientific community is continuously striving to improve the process of detecting MS progression more effectively and efficiently to better support clinical decision making.
In this 90-minute symposium presented by experts from ParadigMS, Prof. Thomas Berger will talk about immunological players in the pathogenesis of MS. He will be followed by Prof. Celia Oreja-Guevara, who will present an update on neuroimaging techniques to detect activity and progression in MS, along with a discussion of the role of novel markers for chronic active inflammation (paramagnetic rim lesions (PRLs), slowly expanding lesions (SELs)). Prof. Tjalf Ziemssen will provide an overview of novel examination techniques to uncover disability accumulation in MS.
