Results:

Following these specifications and formatting requirements will result in uniformity of abstract style for ease of abstract review, programming for cutting edge oral talks in the plenary sessions or as posters poster sessions by the Scientific Program Committee, consideration of junior investigators for travel awards, and publication of abstracts in the program book.

Conclusions: Thanks for following the required format and using the supplied abstract submission form. Abstracts that do not follow this format will be administratively withdrawn and not considered further for inclusion in the program. Remember, it is not sufficient to state “results will be discussed.” We anticipate an outstanding scientific program and look forward to seeing you in Bruges in July!
