This course is designed as a review of techniques and topics pertaining to Clinical Neurophysiology which includes: basic physiology; pathophysiology; EEG; evoked potentials; EMG; movement disorders; and intraoperative monitoring. There is a focus on clinical correlation of various neurophysiological tests used for the evaluation of patients with epilepsy, sleep disorders, movement disorders, peripheral nerve, and neuromuscular disorders. Featuring an ABPN Approved Self-Assessment Activity

Mayo Clinic Endoscopic Sinus and Skull Base Surgery Course will address contemporary techniques in endoscopic sinus, skull base and orbital pathology. We will also discuss novel approaches in systemic and topical medical therapy in rhinosinusitis, and strategies in optimizing outcomes. The course will address the professional and educational needs of practicing Otolaryngologists, residents and mid-level practitioners. Our world-class faculty will participate in lectures and interactive sessions, and also provide individual instruction and tutoring during our didactic and dissection sessions. The first two days will focus on sinus surgery to include didactic and dissection. The second two days will focus on skull-base surgery again providing both didactic and dissection. Image guidance and powered instrumentation will be provided for dissection. Letters of invitation will be provided to registrants on request.

This course focuses primarily on the three autonomic function tests having CPT codes. The program integrates a series of lectures on the underlying physiology, patient preparation, indications for autonomic testing and factors affecting the results of these autonomic tests, and HCFA requirements. The heart of the workshop will be a demonstration of specific autonomic function tests. The tests demonstrated are the quantitative sudomotor axon reflect test (QSART); tests of cardiovagal function (heart rate response to deep breathing and to the Valsalva maneuver); and tests of the adrenergic function. Hands-on demonstrations are provided using commercially available equipment. A series of sessions on the interpretation of common and uncommon examples of tests is provided. Other lectures address a number of autonomic manifestations and disorders (such as POTS, syncope, autonomic neuropathies, multiple system atrophy, painful conditions associated with autonomic dysfunction). The remaining time is devoted to handling questions and demonstrating typical examples of abnormal findings seen in tests of autonomic function.

This program will emphasize the knowledge related to appropriate patient selection for carotid artery stenting and carotid endarterectomy. In addition, the selection of patients for fenestrated aortic aneurysm repair will be reviewed. Lastly, simulation based learning of robot based interventional procedure selection will be provided. Results of recent trials for stem cell application in chronic limb ischemia, and renal artery denervation for refractory hypertension.

This course will provide attendees with an update across all major areas of clinical interest in vascular neurology. Lectures will cover management of asymptomatic vascular lesions including arteriovenous malformations, cavernous malformations, cerebral aneurysms, and carotid stenosis. The course will also cover the latest diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to brain attack. Also covered will be a review of the major single-gene disorders that cause stroke. Lectures will be supplemented with highlights of images in clinical vascular neurology, and group discussions of clinical vignettes.
