1.  In Memoriam Professor Franz Seitelberger (1916-2007)

 

Professor Franz Seitelberger was born in Vienna 1916. He was a neurologist and university professor; 1959-1987 head of the Department of Neurology of the University of Vienna, 1970-1990 head of the Institute of Brain Research of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, 1975-1977 Rector of the University of Vienna; he had substantial contributions in the fields of neurology, neuroanatomy and neuropathology, especially as regards the ageing of the brain and neurodegenerative processes, with over 400 scientific publications.

He received in 1987 E. Schrödinger Prize of the Austrian Academy of Sciences.

We would like to present a necrology by the Honorary President of the Danube Neurology Association, Professor Gerstenbrand:

“Professor Dr. Franz Seitelberger was known far beyond the Austrian border as an excellent neuro-pathologist. His education in clinical neurology and neuropathology occurred by Professor Dr. Hans Hoff, director of the University Clinic for Psychiatry and Neurology in Vienna. Professor Dr. Seitelberger is author of a great number of scientific publications following the Central European scientific habit of correlation between clinic and anatomical alliance. As an excellent clinician and pioneer in neuropathology, Professor Seitelberger has marked the Central European Neurology in a special way. From the beginning he was active cooperating in the building of the Danube Neurology and had an important role in the success of the different Danube Symposia. His colleagues will be missing him very much and will always keep a special honouring remembrance.

Univ.Prof.Dr.Dr.h.c.mult Franz Gerstenbrand

9. Danube Neurorehabilitation Section (by Professor H. Binder, Austria) 

 

Professor Binder (Professor for Neurology President of Austrian Society of Neurorehabilitation
SMZ Baumgartner Höhe - Otto Wagner Spital) is working on setting up a Danube Neurorehabilitation Section within the organisation of the International Danube Neurology Association. We would like to present his short report about the activities:

 

“Neurorehabilitation: a new section within the Danube Association

Studying epidemiological data and projections for the coming decades, one must assume a numerical increase in disabled persons suffering from diseases of the nervous system will occur. Medicine, not least, is responsible for this situation because of improvements in treatment for formerly fatal neurological diseases recently growing number of patients with more or less chronic disability has become something of an issue. On the other hand the scientific and technical progress fortunately has lead to more and more growing number of promising neurorehabilitative treatments. But sad to say neurorehabilitation is neglected almost during neurological residency and leads a wallflower existence in neurological congresses and postgraduate training.

This situation gave rise to setting up a special rehabilitation section within the Danube Association in September 2007. The task of the section must serve first and foremost education and training. Neurorehabilitation must be part of each congress program with two destinations: first to inform about contemporary scientific activities and results in the frame of main topics and secondly to give hands on informations during workshops. Furthermore, the section must bring awareness for neurorehabilitation into the thick of hospitals, departments and not at least the teams by organizing and coordinating on-site training or teaching courses. If nothing else she should serve as a kind of "communication network" for exchange of questions and answers regarding special problems occuring during daily work.

To be adequate to the forementioned tasks it is necessary to collect all colleagues interested and experienced in different neurorehabilitation areas. Therefore we request to touch base with the chairman of the section Univ.Prof.Dr.H. Binder (heinrich.binder@wienkav.at) who will organize a first meeting during the next Danube Symposium not only to meet each other and distribute responsibilities but above all to compile a detailed programme concerning the contents.
