Pain is connected with emotional, cognitive, and behavioural disorders as well as functional issues. People living in long-term care facilities are often living with dementia or cognitive impairment, frailty and multiple comorbid conditions and can experience complex forms of pain. They are likely to experience issues with mental capacity and communication which can impact on their ability to articulate their pain and how this impacts upon them this has a significant impact on all aspects of their life and well-being. A person living with dementia may exhibit distressed behaviours as a result of experiencing pain and all too often this is considered indicative of a symptom of dementia as opposed to a manifestiation of unmanaged pain. Focusing on improving the identification, assessment and management of pain in residents living in long-term care is of the utmost importance.The webinar will cover: 1. Introduction to the Global Observatory of Long-Term care (Adelina Comas-Herrera, Care Policy and Evaluation Centre, LSE, UK). 2. Introduction to the GOLTC Pain in Care homes Interest Group • Dr. Zena Aldridge: Social Care Nurse Fellow NIHR, UK • Dr. Manuela Hoedl: Medical University of Graz • Prof. Sandra Zwakhalen: Maastricht University, Netherlands 3. Presentationsa) Developing consensus on core outcome sets of domains for acute, the transition from acute to chronic, recurrent/episodic, and chronic pain: results of the INTEGRATE-pain Delphi process. Giulia Bova (National Institute of Health, NINDS, UK) b) Discussion: Which COS can be integrated in Long-term care? What are the perquisites? What can be challenges.4. Q & A: Ideas/ further plans for improving pain management? 5. Discussion about the Interest Group next steps led by the steering group members.This webinar is free to attend with pre-registration.

ISAM is pleased to announce the next Webinar presented by Clair Brooks, Applications Specialist at Copley Scientific, Nottingham, England, UK. She will explore the latest advancements in nasal drug delivery, focusing on in-vitro testing methods and innovative tools for improved nasal deposition.Key points:• Utilising the intranasal route for systemic and nose-to brain drug delivery • Compendial in vitro testing requirements of nasal drug products • Challenges and developments in nasal testing• Studying nasal deposition with the Alberta Idealised Nasal Inlet and the Kiel Nasal InletNasal drug delivery presents a promising avenue for therapeutic administration, offering a non-invasive route that bypasses the gastrointestinal tract and hepatic first-pass metabolism. This method has become increasingly attractive for systemic drug administration, particularly for drugs that are poorly absorbed orally, as it utilises the highly vascularised and large surface area of the nasal mucosa for rapid absorption. Additionally, the permeability of the nasal mucosa and its nerve pathways are being utilised to achieve targeted drug delivery to the brain, effectively overcoming the blood-brain barrier. Rigorous testing is vital to ensure the safety, efficacy and quality of these products, and compendial in-vitro testing methods play a key role in evaluating product performance and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. However, challenges remain in replicating physiological conditions and addressing patient-to-patient variability. Ongoing research and technological advancements continue to drive progress in this area, including the development of realistic nasal models to improve in vitro-in vivo correlations and automated device actuation to standardise dose delivery when evaluating bioequivalence. This webinar explores the advancements in in-vitro nasal testing and presents recent studies using two novel tools to look at nasal deposition.

Breast cancer accounts for 12.5% of all new annual cancer cases worldwide, making it the most common cancer in the world. 1Early breast cancer diagnosis through comprehensive screening programs is vital to improving patient outcomes, and recent advancements in breast imaging technology have significantly enhanced both the accessibility and accuracy of these programs.Over the last decades, breast ultrasound has seen remarkable technological advancements, evolving from a low spatial resolution – a grayscale-limited technique – to a highly performing, multiparametric modality.Additionally to ultrasound, MRI plays a vital role in breast cancer by providing detailed images to detect tumors and evaluate their size and spread – MRI is especially effective for assessing lesions and monitoring treatment response. As part of screening programs, MRI is expected to play an increasing role, particularly for patients with high breast density.During the first "Breast and Gynecology Days," focused on Breast Imaging, the specialists will share practical lessons on using different imaging technologies and building the connection between diagnostics and treatment. 2Speakers: Dr. Ritse Mann, MD, PhD, Dr. Sylvie Flais, MD and Dr. Selma Di Pace Bauab, MD, PhD.
