On November 8, 2024, the Brussels University Hospital(H.U.B.) will host an international symposium dedicated to pediatric epilepsy neurosurgery. This event will bring together national and international experts to discuss the latest advancements and explore future perspectives in this highly specialized field Program and ThemesThe symposium will focus on several major themes aimed at improving the management of epileptic patients, particularly children resistant to medication. Topics to be covered include:Utilization of SEEG (Stereo-electroencephalography) and LITT (Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy): These advanced techniques are crucial for pediatric patients whose epilepsy does not respond to traditional pharmaceutical treatments. SEEG provides a detailed analysis of brain activity to precisely locate epileptogenic zones, while LITT offers a minimally invasive method to treat these areas without resorting to traditional open surgery.Analysis of Neural Connectivity: This innovative method aims to predict the absence of postoperative seizures, allowing for more precise surgical planning and optimized outcomes for patients.New Surgical Approaches: The symposium will introduce a novel concept of proposing resective surgery for non-refractory focal epileptic children. The goal is to minimize the impact of antiepileptic drugs on children's cognitive development and quality of life by reducing the need for long-term pharmacological treatments.Experts and DiscussionsThe event will host renowned experts, both national and international, who will share their expertise, discuss the latest advancements, and explore future perspectives in pediatric epilepsy surgery.Registration and ProgramRegistrationProgramDate: November 8, 2024Time: 8:30 AM - 5:30 PMLocation: Musée de la Médecine, Erasme Hospital ULB, 808 route de Lennik, 1070 BrusselsContact Information: Email: Symposium_Epilepsy [dot] Neurosurgery [at] hubruxelles [dot] beFees:Medical Professionals: €60Paramedical Professionals and Students: €20

Did you know that 8 questions asked to your patients can already guide you in the case of a rare disease? If you can answer most of these 8 questions with 'yes' and your intuition confirms it, it would be wise to consider a rare disease. Does the patient present with acute or chronic symptoms that are inexplicable, inconsistent or non-specific, or symptoms at an unusually young age? Is there a family history? Have there been a number of periods of illness with different or identical symptoms? Is there a history of consultations with different medical specialities without satisfactory results? Are there any pathological or borderline results that are inconclusive at first sight? Has there ever been any suspicion of psychosomatic aetiology? Have there been phases of the illness going back several years? Are certain exposure scenarios known (in relation to food, leisure activities, housing, animals, travel or work)? Do not hesitate to refer your patient to a health specialist or geneticist, preferably linked to one of our designated centres of expertise for rare diseases, who are better placed to make a diagnosis.  For more information, visit https://ulbgenetics.be/fonctions-maladies-rares/ * These 8 questions were written by rare disease experts involved in the EMRaDi project.

Did you know that 500,000 Belgians suffer from rare diseases? At the H.U.B., Professor Antoine Bondue, Director of the Rare Diseases Function (FMR), emphasises the importance of Belgian expertise and European networks. With over 7,000 rare diseases, patient recruitment is crucial for optimal care.  To increase the effectiveness of the care offered to patients suffering from rare diseases, the ULB and the H.U.B. are coordinating multidisciplinary consultations, encouraging hospital-ambulatory partnerships and insisting on the education of patients and their doctors.  Rare diseases are a major challenge for our healthcare system and a driving force for medical development. They require societal restructuring and support for innovative treatments.  For more information: https://www.radiorg.be/fr/

The teams at the Department of Gastroenterology and Digestive Oncology of the Erasmus Hospital and Jules Bordet Institute propose a fast track diagnosis of colorectal cancer. The teams at the Department of Gastroenterology and Digestive Oncology of the Erasmus Hospital and Jules Bordet Institute propose a fast track diagnosis of colorectal cancer for patients showing warning signs, a positive result for the presence of blood in the stools or at high risk. On 20 and 21 March a giant colon will be installed in the lobby of the Erasmus Hospital and Jules Bordet Institute. Professionals from our institutions will be present to accompany you as you discover this organ and to stress the importance of colorectal cancer screening.  Essential screening Every year more than 8,000 Belgians, men and women, are diagnosed with colorectal cancer. In 90% of cases they are aged over 50. One third of these people die from their cancer because it was detected too late. If treated in time, colorectal cancer is cured in 90% of cases. Faced with this situation, our professionals decided to put into place fast track diagnosis for patients with warning signs or at high risk.  Screening with a colonoscopy is essential as it reduces the risk of developing a colorectal cancer and cuts colorectal cancer mortality by 50%. In addition to the diagnosis, this examination also has a treatment value as it makes it possible to detect the cancer at an early stage and to prevent a cancer developing by removing colorectal polyps and early stage cancers.  Who is the screening for? In the general population the risk becomes significant after the age of 50. From that age it is easy to effect the screening test by searching for blood in the stools. This test is proposed by your Region via a personalised invitation every two years (Brussels: www.Bruprev.be; Wallonia : www.ccref.org; Flanders: https://www.cvko.vlaanderen/) If you are a person at risk (a hereditary mutation such as familial adenomatous polyposis or Lynch syndrome, personal or family history of polyps and/or colorectal cancer, inflammatory disease of the  digestive tract  - Crohn’s disease or rectocolitis) or if you show warning signs such as the presence of blood in the stools, an unexplained or lasting change in the frequency of bowel movements, abdominal pain or unexplained weight loss, you can make an appointment with our professionals who will then rapidly schedule a colonoscopy.  Gastroenterology consultation: • Jules Bordet Institute +32 (0)2 541 34 80 • Erasmus +32 (0)2 555 35 04 Screening consultation Jules Bordet Institute (if no symptoms) : +32 (0)2 541 30 55 A giant colon and a mini exhibition to boost awareness The month of March is colorectal cancer awareness month. On this occasion the Jules Bordet Institute will be organising an awareness raising event complete with a giant colon. Accompanied by health professionals, you can go inside the colon to discover the organ in 3D and better understand why and how to protect yourself against colorectal cancer, one of the most deadly cancers in Belgium. Note the dates: 20 March at the Erasmus Hospital, between 9 am ad 4 pm; 21 March at the Jules Bordet Institute, between 9 am and 4 pm.  

In this festive season we are delighted to share some heartwarming news with you!  Yuki, the young Bichon Maltese, is celebrating his first year of work at the Erasmus Hospital intensive care unit. So we are all celebrating this first anniversary of the arrival of our four-legged friend! Yuki visits the unit every other Sunday and has already greeted more than 70 hospitalised patients. He brought a smile to all their faces and they would love to see him more often.    Yuki provides some welcome warmth and comfort to patients and their families who have to spend time in intensive care. Patients can simply pass some soothing moments with Yuki, stroking him and perhaps entertaining him in a way that requires some basic but important movements.      “ Yuki brought me a lot of happiness when I was in hospital. I would have liked to see him more often. I was fortunate in that I had my family who visited me every day, but I think of those who are not so   lucky […] Yuki must be so important to them,”  A patient This initiative was suggested by Claire, a nurse in the intensive care unit, encouraged by the hospital and approved  by the head of hygiene and head of intensive care. Yuki respects a very strict health protocol before every hospital visit and between greeting every patient.    A great idea and a genuine success that could perhaps be adopted by the other hospitals in the group.
