21 June 2019, Salzburg, Austria
The aim of this symposium is to focus on bone health in DMD including the updated standards of care (2018) and developing clinical research in the area. In particular, this symposium aims to disseminate discussions of the recent 236th European Neuromuscular Centre International Workshop (1st - 3rd June 2018) on developing osteoporosis clinical trials in DMD to a wider audience. The impact of new osteoporosis agents and emerging muscle investigative agents on bone development will be discussed.

The year 2019 will mark 50 years since the first publications on the biological effects of the bisphosphonates. Since then more than 27,000 papers have appeared on PubMed! We invite you to join us in Sheffield as we celebrate this golden anniversary. The meeting will review developments over the past 50 years, discuss our current understanding and look at what the future may hold.

5th International Meeting on Bone Marrow Adiposity
Abstract Deadline 31st May: 31 May 2019
The bone marrow adipose tissue (BMA) represets almost 70% of bone marrow cavity and it derives from skeletal stem cells that in addition to be able to differentiate into adipocytes, can differentiate into osteoblastic bone forming cells. A number of studies thus suggest a close relationship between energy metabolism, bone marrow adipocytes and bone formation by osteoblastic cells. Moreover, several epidemiological and clinical studies have demonstrated that bone fracture is an important complication of both type I and type II diabetes. Unfortunately, classical risk factors of age-related osteoporosis that predict osteoporotic fractures do not apply to diabetic patients and thus there is a need for more understanding of the pathophysiology of bone fracture and ”diabetic bone disease”. Further, increased BMA has also been shown in cancer patients after chemotherapy treatment interfering with blood production in bone marrow cavity. Thus, these areas of research increase attention of several scientists all over the world.

The annual meeting is an international congress addressing the full pathway of care for fragility fracture patients. The FFN Global Congress consists of invited talks from international experts, plenary discussions, interactive update sessions and free papers. The congress provides a unique platform to learn about new technical developments, state-of-the-art interventions and international research and to interact with leading clinicians, researchers and other professional health workers and stake holders. With the support of the FFN Regionalisation Committee, national Fragility Fracture Networks are being set-up across the world to enable high-quality multidisciplinary care for all patients with fragility fracture. Therefore, this year’s motto is “Best Care across the World
