Sažetak
Alzheimer Disease Societies Croatia (ADSC), as a main organizer, along with the support of the Croatiai Society for Clinical Psychiatry, CMA and Croatian Society for Neuroscience is continuing to organize the 5 ti Croatian Congress on, Alzheimer s Disease with international participation. This professional and-scientific meeting will show the newest findings from the field of Alzheimer s disease (AD) and other dementias.This time, again, we are going to begin the Congress with cultural happening - exhibition of drawings done by Zvonko Ozmec, person with dementia (PWD). These drawings were done by mr. Ozmec while he was undergoing art therapy in Day care centre, and interesting point is that 'he was never drawing pictures before developing AD. During the working part of the Congress, we will try to highlight dementia as much as possible, so we are going to speak about AD and other dementias thru 11 topics. Namely, this time it will be possible to listen the lectures and view the.-posters from the following topics: 1. Basic research and neuropathology of AD ; 2. Early diagnostics of AD ; 3. Epidemiology and risk factors for AD ; 4. Clinical research in AD ; 5. Clinical cha-racteristics of AD and case reports ; 6. Pharmacotherapy of dementia ; 7. Care for people with dementia ; 8. Non-Alzheimer dementia ; 9. Quality of life in dementia ; 10. AD associations and support groups ; 11. Free topics. Fifteen eminent invited speakers will cover many of the topics listed above, and we are more than happy to announce that plenary lecture at our Congress will be given by eminent expert Prof. Ezio Giacobini, from Geneva, Switzerland. Prof. Giacobini is an Adjunct Professor of Pharmacology, Psychiatry and Neuro-logy at Southern Illinois School of Medicine Springfield, Illinois, USA, and his major research interest is in the pre-clinical and clinical development of drug therapy for AD.Throughout this meeting participants will, on daily basis, have chance to hear about most recent findings as well from basic as from clinical field and also about care for PWD. We believe that this Congress, which is encouraging the holistic approach to AD, will give the opportunity and space to ali professionals and intere-sted persons from various professions to share the information and experience. Since we did not want paral-lel lectures, a large number of submitted papers will be presented in poster form, which will remain mounted from opening tili closing of the Congress, and the three best posters (from basic, clinical and social field of AD) will be awarded. We are proud to announce that this jubilee Croatian Congress hit the record in connection with active participants, and due to this we are sure that the important conclusions will be given, which will have substan-tially impact on the improvement of care and overall treatment for PWD in Croatia, as well as for quality of life of their carers. Ali mentioned above, will give strength to our volunteers in ADSC to continue on this important and demanding task.
