Amprion, leader in the diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases, invites researchers and practitioners to the international MDS congress to Madrid to visit Amprion at booth #212 and discuss how the SYNTap® Biomarker Test addresses the unmet medical need for a validated clinical test to diagnose Parkinson’s disease (PD) and differentiate PD from Parkinson’s disease atypical at an early stage. Amprion will host a Meet the Expert session with neurologist Brit Mollenhauer, MD, where attendees can discuss the science behind how the SYNTap test works in a clinical setting. The session will take place Friday September 15 of 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at booth #212. In addition to exposure to MDS, Amprion Chief Scientific Officer Claudio SotoPh.D., will speak at the Prion2022 International Conference, September 13-16 in Goettingen, Germany.

SAN FRANCISCO, September 15, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Amprion, a leader in the diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases, invites researchers and practitioners attending MDS to visit Amprion at booth #212. We look forward to discussing how the biomarkers SYNTap® addresses the unmet medical need for a validated clinical test to diagnose Parkinson’s disease (PD) and differentiate PD from atypical Parkinson’s disease at an early stage. Accurate and early diagnosis can accelerate personalized treatments and therapeutic innovations.

The urgent medical need for accurate and early diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases increases as the world’s population ages. For every thousand people, 1 to 2 people are affected by Parkinson’s disease. The prevalence of PD increases with age, affecting 1% of the population aged 60 and over. Worldwide, about 10 million people could have PD.

Amprion’s SYNTap biomarker test helps physicians diagnose and differentiate complex and often confusing neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson’s disease, Lewy body variant of Alzheimer’s disease, Lewy body dementia, mild cognitive impairment with Lewy bodies and multiple system atrophy. The company’s proprietary detection technology, Seed Amplification Assay (SAA), accurately detects misfolded α-synuclein aggregates, a crucial biomarker associated with these devastating conditions.

“The SYNTap test fills the void for a highly sensitive and specific clinical diagnostic tool,” said Amprion Chief Scientific Officer Claudio SotoPh.D., who will speak at Prion2022, September 13-16 in Goettingen, Germany. According Russ Lebovitz, MD/Ph.D, CEO of Amprion, “Sure diagnosis enables the optimization of personalized treatment and disease management strategies for people with Parkinson’s disease and movement disorders.” Dr. Lebovitz will attend the MDS, International Congress on Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorders in Madrid, September 15-18.

Amprion will host a Meet the Expert session where attendees can discuss the science behind how the SYNTap assay performs in a clinical setting.

MEET THE EXPERT – Friday September 15 – 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. – Booth #212

Neurologist Brit MollenhauerMD, specializes in Parkinson’s disease and movement disorders and directs translational research at the Paracelsus-Elena Klinik (PEKK) in Germany. It has developed a study center for clinical trials and translational research and works closely with the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Disease Research.

“The AAS developed by Amprion offers highly accurate detection of misfolded synuclein in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which can serve as a diagnostic for patients suspected of having Parkinson’s disease, Lewy body dementia and multiple system atrophy, all of which are disorders of synuclein aggregation.”

Dr. Mollenhauer will discuss the value of Amprion’s SYNTap test in the early identification of synucleinopathy based on his studies: “We have shown that in one of our cohorts of patients with REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD), a prodromal condition of synuclein aggregation disorders, the SYNTap test can detect misfolded synuclein at least a decade before a clinical diagnosis of synuclein aggregation disorders can be made.”

We look forward to meeting you at MDS Booth #212.

If politics is show business for ugly people (h/t Paul Begala), then the Texas Grandstands Festival is his ACL Fest. But it’s really more like a weekend homecoming, where everyone who just needs one more reason to come to Austin and call it “work” is flocking to town, rate the state of our tacos and barbecue, and marvel at how Texas manages to make itself relevant for every election cycle. You kinda need to take it live, that’s what we’re saying; After two virtual years that went pretty well but just weren’t the same, the festival is back in downtown Austin September 22-24. The last day includes the Open Congress street takeover (see sidebar), but the whole event is worth the cost, especially for students, for whom it’s only $50. (General admission is $269, with a discount for Texas Tribune supporters.)

When TribFest began rolling out its 2022 speakers and programs a few months ago, one could be forgiven for not being amazed, as many ordinary panels are must-sees – legislative overviews, deep dives into issues like health care or justice reform or immigration, candidate interviews in even years, the meat and potatoes of this kind of idea event and a useful business for people doing politics in Texas to win their life. Then everything changed! What seemed like a juiceless election cycle, rendered neutral by redistricting which sought to freeze current partisan divisions for the next decade and left no seats in play, is now up in the air because of the Dobbs decisionthe Uvalde massacre, the revival of Joe Biden’s fortunes and falling gas prices, and the realization that the entire state of Texas is in a severe climate and housing crisis, all of which brought in Austin in September before the midterms an opportunity to learn something new.

The Texas Tribune, which is free to read and only charges for this year-round event, is now well-connected in the idea-party circuit (TribFest takes place after Atlantic‘s festival and before the new yorker‘s) and can safely hold its closing keynote slot open long enough for it to be filled by Liz Cheney, which will return to prime time four days later at the next hearing on January 6, after an all-new stupid but also chilling Apesh*t scandal engulfed the political world. There are still virtual offerings, such as Thursday broadcast sessions (available on demand throughout the weekend) with America’s favorite nice old doctor. Antoine FauciWhite House Press Secretary once retired Jen Psakiformer leader of Planned Parenthood and first daughter of Texas Cecile Richardsand Mayor of New York Eric Adams. The center of the live festival is the Omni in Brazos and the Eighth, with programming also at the two nearby churches (St. David’s and Central Presbyterian), the offices of Capital Factory (also at the Omni) and various locations around the Capitol end of Congress Avenue. Here are some of the places we will be:

• Two programs on Friday featuring State Rep. Joe Moody, D-El Paso – one is a session on how a pro-life state should change its mindset Capital punishment (also featuring Rep. Jeff Leach, R-Plano and hosted by Keri Blakinger of the Marshall Project); the other is a current affairs session with Moody and the other two members of the Texas House committee investigating Uvalde, Rep. Dustin Burrows, R-Lubbock and former Supreme Court Justice (and unsuccessful Attorney General nominee) Eva Guzman. The panel will discuss “what they know and how they know it”; Will Director of the Texas Department of Public Safety Steve McCraw do you still have work to do here? (There’s also a Saturday morning session from El Pasoans that focuses on how communities are recovering from mass shootings.)

• One of our favorite subjects, the Texas boom and blues suburb, will be worked on Friday by a panel moderated by our friend Steven Pedigo, director of the LBJ Urban Lab at UT-Austin. Often panels like this are only filled with politicians from the areas in question, but this one has experts in land use, public finance and planning as well as politicians, so it will be fun.

And this one from Saturday probably needs no elaboration: “Mississippi Today Presents: Mississippi Is the Future of Texas.”

• Neither does this one: “Waterloo Sunset: Is Austin Becoming Less Like Himself?” Mayor Steve Adler, County Judge Andy Brown, State Rep. Sheryl Cole, and County Attorney Delia Garza (the latter two also former acting mayors) have ideas!

• If you are interested in cross-domains of Faith and public lifeyou’ll want to check out the one-on-one with theologian Russell Moore, recently on hiatus from the extremely troubled Southern Baptist Convention, interviewed by New York Times religious correspondent Ruth Graham.

• Here’s a switch: why not ask some black Texans if they think little white kids are brainwashed into a poisoned revival by critical race theory in schools ? Capital B, a news site focused on black issues, is convening a Saturday afternoon panel to examine what Black Texas educators, parents and policymakers have to say.

• And of course, Liz Cheney. She’s still pretty awful, but she has a more credible claim to being a third-party contender in 2024 than Andrew Yang. Will she announce that she is showing up? How much of the session will be spent trying to get him to commit to a 2024 campaign? Stay tuned.

Open Congress Takes TribFest to the Streets

Paid admission to the 2022 Texas Tribune Festival is pretty affordable for a national-caliber festival of ideas — $269 for general admission, less if you’re a Tribune member, and significantly less if you’re a student or teacher. But if it’s even more than you want to spend listening to Ted Cruz’s great takes and Cancun travel tips, you can still find yourself face to face with the political powers and rising stars of Texas for nothing. more than the price of shoe leather.

The free sessions of the Congress open on Saturday September 24, will occupy a series of tents on Congress Avenue between 7th and 11th Streets, near the main festival venues (the street will be closed, so plan your travels accordingly). The program begins with a discussion on the future of The Texas Power Grid (9am, Texas monthly Tent) featuring energy executives from Vistra, Jupiter Power and Hunt Energy Network, if you’re worried about a repeat of 2021’s Winter Storm Uri.

Henry Cuellar, D-Laredo and former Texas House Speaker Joe Straus, R-San Antonio, will also discuss the possibility of govern from the center (12:45 p.m., Texas monthly Attempted).

Assam Pradesh Congress Committee Secretary General Kamrul Islam Choudhury tendered his resignation from the Congress party’s primary membership on September 11, 2022.

The resignation was declared due to the “directionless and confused leadership of Congress over the past several months”.

In his letter to Congresswoman Sonia Gandhi, Choudhury also expressed dissatisfaction with the cross-voting of Congress MPs in the presidential elections and the party’s inability to deal with the situation.

It demoralized thousands of rank-and-file workers like him who worked day and night for the welfare of the party, Choudhury said.

Choudhury’s resignation comes days after Congressman Ghulam Nabi Azad left the party, ending his five-decade affiliation with Congress.

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — More than three decades after a largely peaceful “people power” revolt toppled Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos, his son and namesake is the top pick in most voter preference polls . Some of the main issues in Monday’s vote:

WHAT IS AT STAKE

A Ferdinand Marcos Jr. triumph would be a stunning reversal of the 1986 pro-democracy uprising that propelled his father from office to worldwide infamy. Many Filipinos aware of the human rights atrocities and plunder that took place under Marcos’ senior dictatorship would likely rebuff any perceived threat to democracy or any attempt by Marcos Jr. to recover assets seized from his family as than ill-gotten wealth.

The winner of the election inherits immense problems, including an economy battered by the coronavirus pandemic, deeper poverty and unemployment, hyperinflation due to soaring oil and gas prices, decades-old insurgencies and inflamed political divisions. He or she could also be called upon to sue incumbent President Rodrigo Duterte for his bloody crackdown on illicit drugs. The International Criminal Court has investigated the murder of thousands of mostly poor child drug suspects as a possible crime against humanity.

———

FERDINAND MARCOS JR.

A former provincial governor, congressman and senator, the late dictator’s 64-year-old son is making the Marcos family’s most impressive bid to regain the presidency. His mother, Imelda Marcos, twice unsuccessfully tried to regain the seat of power after she returned with her children to the Philippines from exile in the United States, where her husband died in 1989.

Marcos Jr. defended his father’s legacy and stubbornly refuses to apologize and acknowledge the atrocities and looting during the dictatorship. Married to a lawyer, with whom he has three sons, he has stayed away from controversies including a past tax conviction and the Marcos family’s refusal to pay a huge inheritance tax. Throughout his campaign, he tenaciously held to the battle cry of national unity. He denies accusations he funded a year-long social media campaign that exploited online trolls to smear naysayers and whitewash the Marcos family’s checkered history, daring critics to “show me a”.

LENI ROBREDO

As an economics student at the University of the Philippines in the 1980s, Leni Robredo joined the massive protests that led to the ousting of the elder Marcos. The 57-year-old also studied law and won a seat in the House of Representatives in 2013 in her first foray into politics after the death of her husband, a respected politician, in a plane crash in 2012. She beat Marcos Jr. in the 2016 Vice Presidential Race by a narrow margin in their first campaign showdown. His advocacy focuses on defending human rights and empowering the poor in part by teaching them their legal rights.

The daughter of a magistrate’s court judge, Robredo does not belong to any of the prominent families that have dominated Philippine politics for generations and presents herself as an independent backed by a network of campaign volunteers. As vice president of the opposition, which was elected separately from Duterte, she condemned the killings of mostly poor drug suspects as part of her crackdown, angering the hot-headed leader and straining their ties for years. The mother-of-three has been cited for her integrity and lifestyle that eschews the trappings of power – she used to regularly travel alone by bus to her home province as a member of Congress.

OTHER CONTAINERS

Eight other presidential candidates have fallen behind in pre-election polls, including Manny Pacquiao, the 43-year-old former boxing star, who has vowed to build homes for the poor and lock corrupt politicians into a ” mega-jail”. Manila Mayor Isko Moreno, a 47-year-old former television idol, has banked on his life story of rags to power and public admiration for his massive cleanup of the capital. Senator Panfilo Lacson, a 73-year-old former national police chief, vowed to continue to use his investigative skills to expose major government corruption.

SECURING THE VOTE

Besides the presidency, more than 18,000 government positions will be up for election, including half of the 24-member Senate, more than 300 seats in the House of Representatives, as well as provincial and local offices across the archipelago of over of 109 million Filipinos. About 67 million people are registered to vote. Voting will take place at 1 p.m. Monday, the one-hour extension intended to compensate for slower queues due to social distancing and other coronavirus safeguards. After voting centers close, thousands of counting machines across the country will send out unofficial results for counting. A partial, unofficial tally could reveal a clear winner within hours, but a close race could take longer. The official tally and solicitation by Congress can take weeks.

Thousands of police and military personnel have been deployed due to longstanding risks posed by Communist and Muslim rebels and a history of often bloody family and political rivalries in rural areas. In 2009, gunmen deployed by the family of the governor of the southern province of Maguindanao massacred 58 people, including 32 journalists, in an attack on an election convoy that shocked the world.

New Delhi: The Congressional committee formed to make a decision on polls strategist Prashant Kishor’s proposal to join the big old party has submitted its report to party chair Sonia Gandhi. The committee members are currently holding a meeting at Janpath 10 in Delhi with the party leader, an ANI report citing sources mentioned.

The eight-leader panel formed by the Congress Speaker included KC Venugopal, Digvijaya Singh, Ambika Soni, Randeep Surjewala, Jairam Ramesh and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra made the report after extensively discussing Kishor’s strategic plan and deliberating with several senior leaders while giving their suggestions. to Gandhi and move him forward in order to revive the great old party.

The leaders are currently holding a meeting at Sonia Gandhi’s residence and are awaiting a final call from the leader.

It comes amid reports that the election strategist held talks with the ruling TRS Chairman and Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao for two days. However, KT Rama Rao confirmed on Sunday that Prashant Kishor’s Indian Political Action Committee (I-PAC) was officially working for the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) and not the initiator of the poll.

Congress leaders favor Kishor’s entry

On Kishor’s entry into the Congress fold, although some senior leaders had reservations given his involvement in a number of political parties including the BJP, JDU, TMC and Congress in the past , a majority of them favored it but left it to the President of Congress to make a final call.

Some senior leaders like Digivijaya Singh said that Kishor presented a concrete strategic plan and the committee discussed it further and said it will help the party.

Singh along with Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Ambika Soni, KC Venugopal, Mukul Wasnik, Jairam Ramesh, P Chidambaram and Randeep Surjewala are part of the panel formed by Sonia Gandhi, which sat for several hours and held many rounds of deliberations during this week . They also met with many senior congressional leaders and Kishor during these deliberations.

Kishor previously met with some G-23 leaders in Congress, while he also met with opposition leaders including Sharad Pawar, suggesting that to oust Narendra Modi, the opposition should contest the polls in a united manner, according to a PTI report.

He had claimed that for this the Congress had to be strengthened by handing over the party to a non-Gandhi, they said.

Kishor in his strategic plan for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections and other state elections in several states suggested a number of measures including the poll strategic plan, structural and organizational changes in the party and alliances with other parties.

An 85-page PowerPoint presentation by Kishor was also making the rounds on social media in which he recommended a non-Gandhi leadership for the Congress party that would have a high impact in the election, however, he commented on the presentation after it became viral. social media saying it was “old and wrong”.

He also suggested in this presentation the reincarnation of Congress, preserving its soul and creating a new body, as the need of the hour. Kishor also noted that without a strong Congress there can be no functioning UPA and therefore the leadership should focus on rebuilding the party.

He further suggested in this “former presentation, that Congress should leverage the role and capacity of the post of UPA President to shore up its support for former Congress leaders who have a substantial electoral base and presence of base in key regions while continuing with the presidency of the AICC to keep the Congress together, but have a non-Gandhi as chairman or vice-chairman of the party to work effectively on the ground.

During a press conference, the director of the Cuban Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical Industry Group (BioCubaFarma), Eduardo Martinez, explained that the event, which will be held in person and virtually, will feature 118 foreign speakers who will discuss innovation management and global health. .

For his part, Rolando Perez, director of science and innovation of this entity and head of the scientific committee of the event, pointed out that one of the largest delegations will be that of the United States, followed by Mexico.

He told Prensa Latina that there will be a wide representation, not only of scientific personalities, but also of companies from the biotechnology and pharmaceutical sector from countries such as Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Panama, Venezuela, El Salvador, Peru, Paraguay, Argentina and others.

“BioCubafarma’s market par excellence is Latin America, due to our culture and geographic position, and although other regions such as Asia have also made up a significant portion of our exports, the Latin America and the Caribbean continues to be the most relevant.

For this reason, the trading partners of these nations will come to discuss, among other things, their countries’ experiences with Cuban products, he said.

This also means that the signing of new trade agreements is expected and the strengthening of scientific relations given the potential of several of these territories of the continent in the field of medicine and biotechnology.

Perez said BioHabana 2022 will also feature speeches by two Nobel Prize winners, American immunologist James P. Allison, who received the Medicine Prize in 2018 for his discoveries in new treatments for the deadliest types of cancer. in humans and research focused on the mechanisms of T cell development and activation, as well as advances in novel tumor immunotherapy strategies.

Saint Louis

Newswise — A press conference dedicated to the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) was held on February 7 at the TASS Press Center (St. Petersburg). The Congress will be held in St. Petersburg from July 6 to 14, 2022. It is the most important world meeting in the field of fundamental and applied mathematics. Russia is hosting the Congress for the second time — in 1966 it was held in Moscow.

The conference was opened by Arkady Dvorkovich, co-chairman of the executive organizing committee (EOC) of the International Congress of Mathematicians, president of the Skolkovo Foundation. “In 2018, Russia won the right to host the International Congress of Mathematicians in a strong competition. The opponents were worthy, first of all France. Of course, this choice indicates the recognition of the merits of Russia and the Russian mathematicians, our mathematical school all over the world”, commented Arkady Dvorkovich. He added that the International Congress of Mathematicians will be held right after the Year of Science and Technology in Russia and will mark the beginning of the Decade of science and technology.” It seems to us that Russia will be able to really unite mathematicians from all over the world at this Congress, showing both its hospitality and its ability to organize such events, erasing the political borders which, unfortunately exist in the world today,” Arkady said. Dvorkovich concluded his speech.

The Vice-Governor of Saint Petersburg, Vladimir Knyaginin, noted the five most important responsibilities of Saint Petersburg in the organization of the Congress: health security, transport and infrastructure, media support, the cultural program, as well as guest accommodation. Saint Petersburg has extensive experience in holding large-scale international events, even during the COVID-19 pandemic. Organizers note that the venues of EXPOFORUM, the largest convention and exhibition center in St. Petersburg where the ICM will take place, will be fully ready to welcome guests.

The Deputy Governor assured that the organizers will take the necessary measures to ensure the health safety of the participants, and will also do everything possible for a comfortable stay of the guests in Russia. The possibility of entering Russia without a visa, as well as a rich cultural program, will play an important role in this. In addition, participants will have a variety of scientific events to attend – a large number of specialized satellite events will take place in different cities of Russia from March 1 to September 1, 2022

“It is an honor for us to host the International Congress of Mathematicians in St. Petersburg. It is not only an important international event that will take place in our city, but also an incentive for the further development of our schools of mathematics , a way to establish professional ties and strengthen existing ones,” commented Vladimir Knyaginin.

Executive Deputy Co-Chairman of the ICM Organizing Committee, 2010 Fields Medalist, Scientific Director of the Chebyshev Laboratory and the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science of St. Petersburg State University Stanislav Smirnov and member of the EOC, member of the Executive Committee of the International Mathematical Union, 2006 Fields Medalist Andrei Okohunknown spoke about the scientific program of the Congress, the participants and the importance of the Congress for the world mathematical community. According to Stanislav Smirnov, the ICM is the oldest and largest scientific congress, which has been held every 4 years since 1897. At present, more than 5,000 participants from 144 countries have already registered for the congress. The leaders in the number of registrations are Russia, India, China, Brazil, Italy, Argentina and the United States.

During the Congress, about 30 one-hour plenary lectures and about 200 section reports will take place. “And it’s not just mathematics, but also many adjacent fields. The Congress covers areas ranging from physics to computer science,” Stanislav Smirnov said.

“In more than a hundred years of congresses, this is only the second time it has been held in Russia. Therefore, it is impossible to overestimate the importance of the fact that the best mathematicians on the planet come to us in Saint Petersburg. This is an absolutely exceptional chance, especially for our talented youth, to see the whole panorama of modern mathematics, as well as an exceptional chance to rekindle the ties between our mathematical and international communities”, underlined Andrey Okounkov.

The importance of the Congress as an incentive for young people was also underlined by Elena Bunina, Member of the Organizing Committee, CEO of Yandex Russia, Professor at Moscow State University: “Holding the International Congress mathematicians will increase the attractiveness of science in the country and create an environment conducive to the emergence of new scholars and researchers. Elena Bunina noted that, according to opinion polls, the attractiveness of science is growing in Russia, and more and more parents approve of their children’s decision to start a career in research. This is why the time has come to popularize science in particular and mathematics in general.

Vice-Rector for Strategic Development and Partnership of Saint Petersburg State University Anastasia Yarmosh noted the crucial role played by St. Petersburg State University in the organization and holding of the Congress. The University is one of the flagships of Russian mathematical education – more than 3,000 students study mathematics at St. Petersburg State University now, and since 2015 the majority of winners are there of the Russian and international mathematical Olympiads choose to go . In addition, 100 days before the Congress, St. Petersburg State University will launch a mathematical relay – mathematical centers around the world will pass a symbolic torch that will travel around the world and return to St. Petersburg at the beginning of the an event.

Director of Public Relations of CIM and Director of Public Relations of Skoltech Oksana Kurilova closed the press conference. She said that Russian and international media representatives can already obtain accreditation to the Congress – this option is available on the event’s website. Applications for accreditation close June 10. Additionally, the Congress Organizing Committee invites youth 18 and older to participate in the event as volunteers – applications can be submitted until March 1.

The International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) will be held in 2022 from July 6 to 14 in Saint Petersburg (Russia) by decision of the International Mathematical Union. The implementation of the Congress is included in the national “Sciences and universities” project. Holding the Congress in Russia aims to strengthen the integration of international mathematical centers into the global scientific community and attract new Russian and foreign partners to cooperate. It is the most important meeting in the field of fundamental and applied mathematics in the world and one of the oldest scientific congresses.

The first ICM took place in 1897 in Zurich (Switzerland). The aim of the ICM is to represent the widest possible spectrum of modern mathematics, including all scientific disciplines and schools of mathematics from different geographical regions, and thus to determine the future direction of mathematics. ICM lecturers are top mathematicians, able to present trends in modern research to a wide audience. The CIM program includes a very wide range of activities, including plenary and guest lectures, panel discussions, public lectures, public education activities, short presentations, poster presentations, and more. Moreover.

An important part of the ICM are the IMU award ceremonies. The Fields Medal for Outstanding Contributions to Mathematics, considered the highest honor in mathematics, as well as the first IMU Abacus Medal, marking pioneering contributions to scientific computing and the mathematical aspects of computer science, will be awarded at the ceremony. opening of the ICM2022. No less important are the Carl Friedrich Gauss Prize, the Chern Medal, the Leelavati Prize and the Emmy Noether Lecture. For the first time, the Ladyzhenskaya Medal will be awarded at ICM2022.
