Our\u00a0<\/span>Call for Abstracts\u00a0<\/b>is now open for the\u00a01st International Clinical Care Symposium on SMA<\/b>, which will take place on 29\u201330 August 2025 in Milan, Italy.<\/p>\n

The event will be held in a\u00a0hybrid format.<\/p>\n

This first edition, \u201cMedical Emergencies in SMA: Pathophysiology, Prevention, and Response<\/b>\u201d, will focus on the\u00a0causes, management, and prevention of acute medical events<\/b> that can lead to life-threatening emergencies for individuals living with SMA, as well as\u00a0strategies for their prevention and management<\/b>.<\/p>\n

The Symposium will bring together an\u00a0international group of SMA-expert researchers<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0multidisciplinary clinical professionals<\/b>\u00a0(including physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, nutritionists, speech specialists), along with\u00a0patient advocates<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0industry representatives<\/b>.<\/p>\n

The event will be accredited for continuing medical education for healthcare professionals and also provides an excellent opportunity for early-stage researchers and clinicians to network and share their work.<\/p>\n

All in-person attendees are invited to submit an abstract for consideration as a poster presentation and\/or a short talk.<\/b><\/p>\n

Abstracts are encouraged on any emergency-related aspect of SMA, including fundamental research across different domains, clinical presentations of acute episodes, and practical approaches to prevention or management.<\/p>\n
