Please don’t include your title or authors in the abstract text. Do not include references. If the abstract is based on research funded entirely or partially by an outside source, enter the appropriate information (funding agency and grant number if applicable). Also, this information MUST be included in the presentation if accepted.
– Up to five keywords should be submitted. It is recommended to select keywords from Medical Subject Headings (MeSH): http://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/MBrowser.html
