"Peripheral Nerve Society Biannual Meeting 2011"

描述(申请人提供)：2011年外周神经学会(PNS)会议将于2011年6月25日至29日在华盛顿特区的William F Bolger会议中心举行。PNS是一个由医生和科学家组成的国际组织，致力于促进我们对周围神经生物学和疾病的了解，最终目的是为各种形式的周围神经疾病患者开发治疗方法。PNS促进基础和临床研究、医生和科学培训，以及临床护理标准的共识发展。PNS成员来自广泛的学术兴趣和部门。国家警察在包括国际和多学科受众的两年一度的会议上追求其目标。会议的重点是将基础科学发现转化为患者的临床治疗。PNS制定了治疗周围神经疾病的协作指南。发展和指导下一代周围神经科学家和临床医生是PNS的重要作用，鼓励初级成员出席，并促进与高级调查人员的互动。会议在与世隔绝的环境中举行，以鼓励非正式互动。会议结果发表在《外周神经系统杂志》上。 公共卫生相关性：周围神经疾病是导致残疾的常见而重要的原因。两年一度的外周神经协会会议汇集了来自世界各地的科学家和临床医生，以分享研究成果并开发新的治疗方法。会议通过传播重要的新想法(包括研究和治疗)和制定协商一致的指导方针，直接影响公共卫生和病人护理。 免责声明：请注意，以下批评是由评审员在研究小组会议之前准备的，基本上是以未经编辑的形式提供的。虽然审查员有机会根据小组的讨论更新或修订其书面评价，但不能保证在会议讨论之后更新了个别批评意见。因此，这些评论可能不能完全反映个别评审员在小组讨论结束时的最终意见或小组的最终多数意见。因此，讨论纪要和总结是审查员在会议上实际上认为至关重要的最后结论。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 2011 Peripheral Nerve Society (PNS) meeting will be held from June 25th to 29th 2011 at the William F Bolger Conference Center in Washington, DC. The PNS is an international organization of physicians and scientists dedicated to forwarding our understanding of peripheral nerve biology and disease, with the ultimate aim of developing treatments for patients with various forms of peripheral nerve disease. The PNS facilitates both basic and clinical research, physician and scientific training, and consensus development of clinical standards of care. PNS members come from a broad spectrum of academic interests and departments. The PNS pursues its goals at biennial meetings that include an international and multidisciplinary audience. The meetings focus on translating basic science discoveries into clinical treatments for patients. The PNS develops collaborative guidelines for treatment of peripheral nerve diseases. Development and mentorship of the next generation of peripheral nerve scientists and clinicians is an important role of the PNS, and junior member attendance is encouraged and interaction with senior investigators facilitated. Meetings are held in cloistered settings to encourage informal interactions. Meeting results are published in the Journal of the Peripheral Nervous System. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Peripheral nerve diseases are a common and important cause of disability. The biennial Peripheral Nerve Society meeting brings together scientists and clinicians from across the world in order to share research findings and to develop new treatments. The meeting directly impacts public health and patient care by disseminating important new ideas (both research and therapeutic) and by developing consensus guidelines. Disclaimer: Please note that the following critiques were prepared by the reviewers prior to the Study Section meeting and are provided in an essentially unedited form. While there is opportunity for the reviewers to update or revise their written evaluation, based upon the group's discussion, there is no guarantee that individual critiques have been updated subsequent to the discussion at the meeting. Therefore, the critiques may not fully reflect the final opinions of the individual reviewers at the close of group discussion or the final majority opinion of the group. Thus the Resume and Summary of Discussion is the final word on what the reviewers actually considered critical at the meeting.
