The physical treatment of lympho-venous insufficiencies has long been confined to the therapeutic application of the manual drainage. I want to emphasize the therapeutic aspect because the manual drainage originally approached by Winiwarter was used in aesthetic by Vodder (1936): it is clear that at this time there was little question between the physical medicine and physical therapy! We very well known Emil Vodder and his wife Estrid. They came several times to Brussels to deliver courses and visited several times our laboratory of Lymphology installed at that time on the campus of the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB).

The technique of manual lymphatic drainage was sorely lacking in scientific experiments: this is why we initiated this laboratory with Prof. Dr. Sabine Godart founding member of the International Society of Lymphology.

We were assisted in this effort by the academic authorities of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) and by the National Fund for Medical Scientific Research (FNRSM).

We held, several times, Meetings of the European Group of Lymphology (today European Society of Lymphology)  and we are delighted to have hosted since 1978, the most eminent specialists in Lymphology,  including Dr. Földi, E. Kuhnke, J. Merlen, H. Mislin, G. Szabo and HR Van der Molen.

It was also at this time we have demonstrated the effectiveness of manual lymphatic drainage of interstitial fluid resorption by the initial nodes (maneuver ‘resorption’) and the progression of the lymph through the application of maneuvers of ‘appeal’. We presented for the first time that differentiation of maneuvers and their effectiveness at the Congress of the European Group of Lymphology organized by Professor G. Hidden and JP Brun (Paris, 1981).

Manual lymphatic drainage is draped gradually while scientific support has grown considerably over the years through the improvement of investigative procedures and the birth of learned societies such as the Group for the Study of Lymphatiques which later became the European Group of Lymphology and is now the European Society of Lymphology.

As part of these societies that meet all those who believe that without research there is no medical treatment worthy of the name.

Medicine today is different from the one of yesterday. The same is true for physical treatment where it is clear that physical therapy will be different tomorrow from today if it will evolve on the basis of data from the research.

Lymphoscintigraphy has proved to be the expert hands of our past-president of the Euro. Soc. of Lymphology, Prof. Dr. Bourgeois, an extremely valuable tool in the investigations regarding the effectiveness of maneuvering drainage manual.

We can say today that the manual lymphatic drainage has permanently left the winding paths of empiricism to walk the roads, really exciting, of scientific experimentation. We know that the European Societry of Lymphology will, through its meetings and the scientists sharing, be an effective force in this evolutionary process.

On behalf of the Organising and Scientific Committees, I would like to extend a warm invitation to attend the 9th Australasian Lymphology Association Conference, ‘Hot Topics in Lymphology’ to be held in Cairns, Tropical North Queensland, 24th – 26th May 2012.

The Scientific Committee are working to provide an innovative, thought provoking and quality three day Conference program. In addition to the highly successful workshops and papers of the past, we are looking forward to a number of interactive and lively panel debates around contemporary issues. The focus on ‘Hot Topics’ such as climate, melanoma, uro-genital cancers, as well as other treatment strategies across the world, will keep us abreast with current issues to inform our clinical practice. This will promote further growth of delegates clinical skill sets.

In addition to the high quality and captivating Conference, program, the scenic backdrop of Cairns and the tropical north of Australia provides a fabulous opportunity to explore this relaxed, picturesque tropical paradise with all it has to offer, including the reef and rainforest.

I encourage you to save the date now to be part of the 2012 ALA Conference, not only to update your clinical practice and knowledge of the latest research through the extensive scientific program but to include some leisure time in this must see destination.

The team look forward to welcoming you to Cairns in 2012 and you leaving inspired and refreshed by a truly memorable Conference experience.

Organising Committee Convenor

Dear phlebologists from all over the world,

The Czech Society of Phlebology, a member of Union Internationale de Phlébologie (UIP) and the Czech Medical Association J. E. Purkyn?, is proud to invite you to the International Congress of UIP – European Charter Meeting, which will be held in Prague on September 15 – 17, 2011 at the Clarion Congress Hotel. The UIP Council entrusted our society with the organisation of this important metting in Kyoto (2007).

We hope to attract over 1000 delegates and prepare a highly scientific and intriging program, comprising traditional breakfast sessions, morning non-concurent sessions of selected papers, lectures and consensus reports, lunch symposia, while afternoons would be designated for concurent abstract sessions, workshops and poster discussions. Our special idea is to offer all UIP member societies a time to present their history as well as their present and future trends and activities. They could also honor their most distinguished past and present members.

In addition to the scientific activity, the organising committee prepared a great social program including the Welcome Reception and Galla Dinner in the Municipal House, a national cultural landmark, which is one of the most significant Art Nouveau buildings in Prague.

We hope to see you in Prague at what we expect to be an outstanding meeting…

Jaroslav Strej?ek, MD, PhD
Congress President
