Even if you missed the Nordic congress in Dermato-Venereology in
Tampere, you can catch up here!
The Nordic Congress in Dermato-Venereology is now completed and the organisers are just to congratulate for the success. This congress contained a lot of
interesting lectures and for all of you who hadn’t the possibility to attend the
congress, now you can ?nd extracts from many of the various lecturers in this
issue of Forum (pages 123–140).
Anders Vahlquist who recently retired from his position at the Department of
Medical Sciences at Uppsala University after a long and successful career was
celebrated and honoured by a special day with both national and international
lecturers. Anders also gave an overview of his 45 years research activities. Find
both a summary of the day as well as the overview on pages 141–143.
Some dissertations (pages 145–147) and other information are also presented
in this issue.
For the Swedish dermatologists there is in this issue an invitation to the forthcoming annual meeting of SSDV. Block the dates May 13–16! See page 144 for
further information.
I would also like to take the opportunity to thank Sari Suomela,
the Finnish country editor, for all her valuable services to
Forum during the years. She has now decided to step down
and in she is replaced by Alexander Salava. Alexander Salava’s
special interests are skin diseases, sexually transmitted diseases,
and allergology and he received his PhD in 2007. I welcome
Alexander Salava, new
Alexander and look forward to a good collaboration.
Country Editor for Finland
Also Päivi Hägg has decided to step down and I thank her
for her kind assistance with Forum. She is replaced by Erika
Wikström. Erika Wikström has recently defended her academic
thesis on “Epidemiology of Chlamydia Tracomatis Infection
in Finland during 1983–2009” (see page 147). I welcome also
Erika and look forward to a good collaboration.
Wish you all a pleasant reading!
