Digestive Disease Week - Chicago - June 2009

The American Gastroenterology Association Institute Translational Symposium titled "CVS During the Lifespan: Advances in Basic Understanding and Clinical Management," was moderated by CVSA medical advisors, Kevin Olden, M.D. of the University of Arkansas and Tom Abell, M.D. of the University of Mississippi. The presentation included talks by four of our medical advisors: B U.K. Li, M.D. of the Medical College of Wisconsin, "CVS in Children - Diagnosis and Therapeutic Options;" David Fleisher, M.D. of the University of Missouri, "The Clinical Spectrum of CVS in Adults - New Insights Into Understanding the Disorder;" Richard Boles, M.D. of the University of Southern California, "Genetic Aspects of CVS - Links Between Early CVS, Adult Migraine and Other Symptom-Based Disorders;" and Yvette Tache, Ph.D. of UCLA, "Neurobiological Basis of Vomiting in CVS and Therapeutic Implications."

Two other CVSA advisors spoke about CVS in separate sessions: Sally Tarbell, Ph.D. of the Medical College of Wisconsin, "Health Related Quality of Life in Pediatric CVS," and Thangam Venkatesan, M.D. of the Medical College of Wisconsin presented "A Prospective Study of Autonomic Nerve Function in Adults with CVS". Dr. Venkatesan also presented a poster titled "CVS: The clinical Profile and Treatment Responses in 101 Adults."

The substantial presence of information about CVS included an exhibit booth where professionals visited to ask questions and pick up resource materials.
