Sueli Knoll Fax: 5080-4097 Dear friends and colleagues, We are pleased to be the hosts for one of the most important scientific meetings in the medical field, the III World Congress of the Endoscopic Surgery of the Brain, Skull Base and Spine - Rhinology 2008, jointly sponsored by the Brazilian Neurosurgical, ENT and Rhinological Societies. We will bring together at this one single event experts in skull base surgery and rhinology, neurosurgeons, otolaryngologists, radiologists, anatomists, and craniofacial surgeons from all over the world. The meeting will take place in São Paulo, Brazil, at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, from May 22 to 24, 2008. Although the majority of the scientific program has been divided into sessions specific for each field, to be held in separate rooms, all the congress participants are invited to take advantage of any of the events in both Rhinology 2008 and the World Congress during the meeting. The scientific program will emphasize emerging and controversial topics, as well as reinforcing current concepts and treatment modalities. We believe that this will be a unique opportunity for those who seek awareness of new horizons and limits, and clinical maturity based on these new boundaries. We count on you to join us for this very special occasion!

But this is not always the case. In fact, 2 to 3 children out of every 1000 are born with partial or total hearing loss and there are others who lose their hearing during the first years of life. For these children with hearing impairment, it is essential to perform a diagnosis and to begin treatment by the age of 6 months, so that they will be able to develop their language and speaking skills in the same way and in the same time-frame as children with normal hearing abilities. There are hereditary and acquired risk factors for deafness that make it possible to detect and treat it in the first months of life, preventing as much as possible its effects and repercussions. Unfortunately half of the children born with hearing loss do not present any of the associated risk factors that enable its early identification and treatment, which is why the effect of its belated diagnosis on speaking and language skills can create permanent repercussions which affect the cognitive development and growth process of the child. The importance that infant deafness poses as a health problem has been assessed by national and international organisms and scientific societies. In 1999, the Congressional Plenary approved, through a motion, the elaboration of a National Plan for the Prevention of Infant Deafness. The Ministry of Health then approved the Program for Early Detection of Hearing Loss for newborns in all of the Autonomous Communities, which is currently in different stages of implementation. These programs establish protocols to identify and diagnose all newborns suffering deafness in order to begin the most appropriate early treatment. This necessitates the training of professionals in detection, diagnosis and treatment of infant deafness. Introduction The Ramon Areces Foundation, sensitive to this health problem in infants, contributes with its cooperation and sponsorship to gather a group of international experts to carry out an update on such an enormously important issue regarding the development and future of children. This Symposium will be an excellent opportunity for paediatricians, ear, nose and throat specialists, nurses, hearing aid specialists and manufacturers, speech therapists, etc., to approach, in a multidisciplinary way, the important challenge of a truly early detection, diagnosis and treatment of infant deafness.

Echeverria, MD, Marcos Mocellin, MD, Jose Olguin, MD, Primitivo Ortega, MD, Gloria Ribalta, MD, Diana Tobon, MD Committee Charge: The Board of Directors has charged the Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking Ad Hoc Group with giving advice, when requested by the Board or its representatives, on ways to communicate better with otolaryngologists and allied health personnel in Latin America and the Iberian Peninsula, by: Encouraging attendance at the AAO-HNS Foundation’s Annual Meeting & OTO EXPO and other meetings; Increasing recruitment and retention of new members from Latin America and the Iberian Peninsula, including International Fellows, Members, and Resident Members; Conveying the AAO-HNS/F message to Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking audiences, including through translated materials on the Web, at meetings, and marketing materials; Providing advice with regard to areas of maximal educational interest for the Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking constituents of the AAO-HNS Foundation; and Collaborating with the International Otolaryngology Committee in its commitment to serve the Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking International Corresponding Societies. Current Year Highlights: As the official liaison with the Pan-American Association, publicized the Academy’s activities, especially the Annual Meeting, to the 14 component PanAmerican societies Distributed Academy educational materials to professors and training programs throughout the Hemisphere Worked closely with Academy members to produce an outstanding program at the Second Joint Meeting with the Federation of Argentinean Societies (FASO) August 2007. Preparing for the next Pan-American Congress, Quito, Ecuador, June 2008, including a joint meeting with Academy speakers SPAG works with the International Otolaryngology and Humanitarian Efforts Committee on matters of mutual concern. SPAG members who represent distinguished society leaders from across the Americas and the Iberian Peninsula consider it a privilege to be invited to advise the Academy. Attendance is excellent and enthusiastic. Summary of Staff or Committee Assignments Assignee Deadline SPAG Volunteers will translate Call for Papers Drs. Pepe, Nov- instructions into Spanish Crespo, Bross, Tobon December 2007 Improving online access to disclosure forms online, adding email addresses to the phone and fax contact information on the website, giving an option to contact in Spanish and respond promptly. Academy staff Immediately Review proposed abstracts and make suggestions Dr. Casiano During Call for Papers period Additional Discussions 1. Dr. Casiano called the meeting to order at 12:30 pm. The committee reviewed and affirmed the charge and approved the past minutes 2. The group gave advice on the annual meeting, including improving online access to disclosure forms online, adding email addresses to the phone and fax contact information on the website, giving an option to contact in Spanish and respond promptly. There was discussion about fees for residents and medical students, and the differential between early and late registration fees. More Spanish-speakers are needed to staff the Academy booth. Dr. Encarnacion observed that the Academy should be careful of room sizes—if the topic is popular, people should pre-register. 3. The group also addressed abstract submissions for the Academy meeting program. Consensus was that advice is needed for submitting oral presentations such selecting presenters, describing research methodology, and scientific validity. The group recommended a training seminar on abstract writing, along the lines of Dr. Rosenfeld’s miniseminar on writing for the journal. 4. SPAG Miniseminar Proposal: abstracts on otology and cosmetic results of ethnic nose were declined. Dr. Koltai encouraged proposals on hot topics. Dr. Bross suggested reserving one miniseminar per year in Spanish, such as “ESS in Latin America.” Dr. Casiano invited colleagues to send their abstracts to him for suggestions. He advised topics that will draw Americans, such as unusual rhinologic diseases and infectious otologic diseases. Dr. Bernal questioned why some miniseminars are repeated from previous years, and asked how do they are evaluated. 5. Dr. Cobo has been named as the Pan-American Association representative to the Board of Governors, and Dr. Ruiz has been nominated as Vice-Chair of SPAG. 6. Reporting on the 2008 Pan-American Congress, Dr. Casiano noted that Academy Joint meetings could use the Academy logo in promotional material. The Pan-American Congress booth in the OTO EXPO has applications for instruction courses. Multinational pharmaceutical support and other corporate support is being sought to help speakers with their travel costs and hotels. Dr Stolovitzky noted that there is a significant shortfall in corporate financial support of joint meetings. 7. The committee adjourned at 1:45 pm. Next meeting: September 21-24, Chicago, Illinois (date, time, place to be decided) *Report submitted by Catherine R. Lincoln, CAE, MA (Oxon) *Date submitted: November 14, 2007 Academy Joint Meeting with Argentinean Federation (F.A.S.O.) Hector E. Ruiz, MD Vice-chair, Spanish- and Portuguese speaking Advisory Group (SPAG) It was a great pleasure for me, as president of the Meeting , to host the second joint meeting between Federacion Argentina de Otorrinolaringologia (FASO) and the American Academy of Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery in city, Rosario, Argentina, August 2-4, 2007.More than 2,000 Argentinean professionals and 230 from other Latin American countries attended. Among the 31 international speakers who contributed to the meeting’s high scientific level, the Academy was well represented by past president Antonio de la Cruz, MD, Richard M. Rosenfeld, MD, MPH (Journal -editor-in-chief), Roy R. Casiano, MD, (SPAG Chair), Moises A. Arriaga, MD, Michael Friedman, MD, and Marcella R. Bothwell, MD. The Pan-American Association gave its support to this meeting, which included speakers from Bolivia, Brazil, Chile,Colombia, Ecuador, Honduras, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela. During the meeting, there were different clinical symposia in conjunction with specialty societies of Rosario, including those of cardiology, neurology, and pediatrics, on topics such as pediatric otology, nasal disease, snoring, and sleep apnea. In addition to presenting 75 panels, 38 lectures, 94 free papers, and 20 posters, we also introduced six books from national and international authors. We began organizing these joint meetings ,with the idea of keeping in contact with our professional colleagues in the Academy. My goal was to create a Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking Advisory Group (SPAG) to consolidate this relationship. The first joint meeting with FASO took place in Mar del Plata, Argentina, November 2005, and we hope to continue this alliance in order to learn from our professional colleagues and friends. 10 a 12 DE ABRIL DE 2008 – SAN DIEGO – ESTADOS UNIDOS X International Cochlear Implant Conference. www.CIC2008.com It is with great pleasure we announce the 10th International Conference on Cochlear Implants and Other Implantable Auditory Technologies, to be held April 10 – 12, 2008, in San Diego, California, hosted by House Ear Institute of Los Angeles, known for their clinical expertise, groundbreaking research and pioneering innovations in the field of auditory implants in both adults and children. In the two decades since the first meeting in 1987, in Duren, Germany, directed by Paul Banfai, a variety of professionals have made many advances in the treatment of hearing loss. These advances have helped not only those patients with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss using cochlear implants, but also patients with moderate to severe sensorineural hearing loss and patients with conductive hearing losses to obtain a level of function better than they did using conventional hearing aids. The title of this conference reflects the inclusion of the technologies that have benefited patients with hearing loss. Course Director: William M. Luxford, M.D. Course Co-Director: Jose N.

All the relevant information about scientific programme and exhibitors/sponsor redemption will be found on the course website: www.springcourse2008.com For any further information please feel free to contact me anytime: +39 335 6663460, or by email: i.tasca@ausl.imola.bo.it or igntasc@tin.it Dear Friends and Colleagues It is my great pleasure to introduce the 2nd International Spring Course on Functional and Aesthetic Surgery of the Nose, which will be held in Castel San Pietro Terme from 5 th to 7 th May, 2008. This scientific event follows the previous one preformed in 2006, whose satisfied results have stimulated us to carry on and present this new edition of the Course. The Scientific Program will cover the art of nasal surgery in-depth. Distinguished national and international Faculty members will demonstrate their extraordinary practical expertise, discussing from the fundamentals, to the latest advancement in the field, thus emphasizeing the typical key areas of this complex surgical procedure. In this way, all the participants, both experienced and beginner surgeons, will be able to brush up on the fundamentals of nasal surgery refining their operative techniques. The Course will go on two sessions per day: in the morning some operations will be carried out live surgery by world-famous surgeons, who will talk about the up-to-date techniques of functional and aesthetic nose surgery in the afternoon no less stimulating, theory will have priority over practice, all participants largely debating various issues by Masterly Lessons and Round-Table conferences. The conference will be held in English and Italian language with simultaneous translation. The Course will take place in Castel San Pietro Terme inside the new Congress Centre Artemide, a short distance away from the main hotels. The location offers all the advantage of a small town but has all the facilities and services of a large city. Besides the scientific commitments, all companions can enjoy their stay both visiting the beautiful surrounding countryside of the Sillaro Valley and playing sports at the Golf Club, in the swimming pool, or at the Tennis Club. With the hope that this Course will be as successful as the previous one, I very much look forward to welcoming a great many of you in Castel San Pietro Terme in Spring 2008.
