Cardiovascular Case Study 

Prepare for a case study presented by the Co-Founder of Ninja Nerd – Zachary Murphy, on differentiating between several cardiac pathologies. We want all of you to come up with the most likely diagnosis based upon the presented cause, clinical features, and diagnostic work up. Thus, you will learn how to properly manage this diagnosis including the potential complications.

Ninja Nerd’s recipe for success 

As medical school can be overwhelming, we are here to help you find the best strategy regarding studying, daily or monthly scheduling, memorisation techniques, and so on. Join Zachary Murphy, co-founder of Ninja Nerd, as he breaks down the unspoken secrets of efficient learning, helping you to figure out the best strategy for yourself in the least amount of time. Come and find out how to study smart, not hard, and join our special Q&A session at the end!

In order to be functional, proteins need to fold into a well defined 3D structure – but many of them can fold into an alternative state – the amyloid-like aggregated state, in which alternative intermolecular beta-sheets are formed that cause proteins to stick together and precipitate. Find out from Prof. Joost Schymkowitz, PhD how this process is the cause of a group of pathologies that encompasses rare diseases such as primary systemic amyloidoses as well as common degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease or type-2 diabetes.

DIEP flap surgery is a type of breast reconstruction which uses skin, fat and blood vessels from your lower belly to rebuild your breast after a mastectomy or lumpectomy. It’s a muscle-sparing procedure, so no abdominal muscles are cut or removed. Fabio Santanelli di Pompeo, MD, PhD, who is Full Professor in Plastic Surgery at Sapienza University of Rome will introduce you to the art of breast reconstruction through an unique Keynote, at this year’s edition of the IMSCB.

Neurostimulation strategies offer a potentially safe and effective medical intervention to provide symptom relief and support functional capacity in individuals suffering from neurological, psychiatric, and even multi-organ disorders.

In this Keynote Lecture, Andreas Rowald, PhD will focus his speech on a radical innovation in the neurostimulation field: personalized computational models, so-called digital twins. The key of this mechanism is creating a precise and personalized support of various physiological functions.

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is an incurable genetic disorder characterized by the progressive loss of muscle. Diving into Molecular Medicine and Genetics field, we get to discover along with our Keynote Lecturer, Prof. Dariusz Górecki, MD, PhD how our understanding of the mechanism behind DMD started to evolve. Get to find more about this specific topic from one of the contributors to the discovery that DMD pathology starts in prenatal development.
