Scientific Content of NeuroGASTRO 2019
The Scientific Programme will encompass the following main topics:
The 4th Meeting of the Federation of Neurogastroenterology and Motility – NeuroGASTRO 2019 offers a mix of basic, translational and clinical science sessions.
The Postgraduate Course will provide an update on the clinical aspects of Neurogastroenterology and Motility. During this half-day course renowned experts will provide practice-oriented comprehensive overviews, covering pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of GI motility and functional disorders.
There are two plenary sessions, in the first and second days of the meeting. The invited lectures in these sessions last 30 minutes, including discussion. In addition, one or two top-ranked abstracts that fit in the theme of the session will be presented orally. The time allotted for oral presentations is 15 minutes, including questions.
There are three simultaneous, parallel symposiums. One of these has a basic science theme, another one a translational theme and the third is a clinical science session. Most parallel sessions last 90 minutes and comprise two invited lectures (30 minutes) and two selected abstract presentations (15 minutes each).
Accepted Posters will be exhibited during NeuroGastro 2019, and will be grouped into areas of research. The poster exhibition offers an effective forum for the exchange of information, and a plataform to communicate ideas, research and programmes.
In this session, the GENIEUR group (Pan-European inter-disciplinary network to identify genetic factors contributing to IBS etiopathogenesis) will provide an update of their work.
The industry sponsored sessions are organised by the industry in consultation with the scientific committee. The programme of the industry sponsored sessions is not affiliated with ESNM.
