Respirology workshop: Author awareness of transparency for successful publishing – Face the challenges and enjoy the benefits! (www.apsr2018.com/upload/file/Respirology workshop-1009.pdf)

• The Respirology Editorial team and its invited speakers will help workshop participants to better understand what transparency in research nowadays requires from authors. This opportunity comes at a time when successful research publishing becomes increasingly more difficult.
• Transparency in research publishing is considered a new kessy element to research success & impact. It can be achieved through enhanced attention to detail and appropriate openness in manuscript writing.
• We will present the views of journal editors, research professionals and publisher on the bene ts of transparency, in line with international consensus on this latest recommendation for authors to help and improve research publishing skills.
• Target audience:
  • (Early career) researchers and clinicians with research activities
• Main program topics :
  • Modern-day multilevel transparency in science publishing

Interventional pulmonology techniques - Ultrasound diagnosis in chest diseases and ultrasound-guided needle aspiration biopsy (hands-on session)

• Target audience:
  • Providers of chest medicine
• Objectives:
  • At the conclusion of this session, the participant will be able to:
    1. Apply ultrasound to assess patients with chest lesions.
    2. Apply color Doppler ultrasound in the evaluation of thoracic diseases
    3. Practice ultrasound-guided aspiration biopsy technique for diagnosis of lung lesions
  • This is a half day course that consists of didactic lectures and hands-on stations. The focus is primarily on transthoracic ultrasonography. The topics include ultrasound diagnosis of lung tumor, application of color Doppler ultrasound in thoracic disease & technique for echo-guided transthoracic needle aspiration and biopsy.
