- As the total number of contributions is limited, the program committee asks for your understanding that the maximum number of authorships per person is limited to three.
- Please indicate if the first author is not the presenting speaker.
- Presentations may be held as oral presentations or ePosters. The review and program committee reserves the right to allocate accepted abstracts according to the requirements for thematic categories either to oral or ePoster presentations. By submitting an abstract, the authors agree to both forms (oral/ePoster).
- Only results hitherto unpublished may be submitted.
- Authors will be notified about acceptance/rejection of their submission by mid-May 2020.
- The authors bear full responsibility concerning copyright of third parties upon contents of their abstract. The author guarantees that no part of the contents (including tables, figures etc.) may infringe upon rights of third parties which may impediate publication.
- In addition, the submitter has the consent of all persons named to submit or publish personal data (name, clinic, adress, e-mail).
Please understand that the abstract will be published
as submitted. Corrections may not be made hereafter.
DOC reserves the right to correct erroneous abstracts
without prior notification to the author. The committees
inform that abstracts that are not in compliance with
the stated regulations will be rejected.
The submitting author transfers the non-exclusive
and unlimited right of further use of the submitted
contents for whichever purpose. This does however
not restrict subsequent further personal use.
DOC expects the declaration of economic and financial
interest from every author / speaker. We are convinced
that it is necessary to disclose financial interest. An
economic linkage itself does not imply a bias of the
author. The audience will have the opportunity to decide
whether a conflict of interests has an influence on the
quality of the specific piece of scientific work.
You will be asked by MCN AG to disclose any
financial/economic linkage beforehand or when
uploading your presentations at the media-check
in counter. The following parameters have been
defined for this purpose.
| Consultant (B): | Commercial payment or support in the last three years in the form of research funds or material in equipment, process or products presented* |
| Owner (E): | Owner's interest in medical products (e.g. patent, copyright, sales licence etc.) |
| Investor (I): | Financial interest in a company or companies supplying equipment, process or product presented (e.g. shareholdings, share ownership etc.)* |
| None (K): | No financial interest and no commercial support in the case of the work presented |
| Employee (M): | Financial interest in product marketing (employee of the product manufacturer)* |
| Product (P): | Financial interest in equipment, described procedure or described product (e. g. speaker`s allowance, travel expense, research funds, grants etc.)* |
At the beginning of each presentation, the title of
the presentation, the name of the speaker and the
status of commercial interest as well as the name
of the company (according to the above given
classification)
will shortly be made visible on the
main screen.
* Name of the company required.
The authors of the posters are asked to shaw
their commercial interest at the beginning of the
presentation.

criteria.
GMS includes online-journals, congress releases
and research reports. Publications can be
combined with videos and other data.
Each congress is allocated a separate section within
the platform with individual design according to GMS
layout (logo, colours, texts).
Advantages of GMS publication:
Each single entry is treated according to high
