Santiago de Chile, a great congress is coming
 The 25th Inter American Radiology Congress is expected to be one of the most attractive congresses of the past years. In fact, it will gather a very appealing scientific and academic program, with a wide range of oral and electronic communications and a broad technical and commercial exhibition, which is always useful and appreciated by attendants.
However, the Congress will entail much more. The Board of Directors of CIR and the Organization Committee have planned two important presentations for the Plenary Session: The first one deals with education at present and the second one with radiologists’ new responsibilities and tasks. Experts such as Sergio Lucino, Ricardo García Mónaco, Luis Felipe Uriza, Jorge Picorel, Francisco Sendra, Francisco Arredondo, Pablo Jimenez, Luis Donoso, Enrique Bosch, and Oswalo Ramos will approach these important topics. The presentations are coordinated by Rodrigo Restrepo and Miguel Stoopen. ¡You can’t miss this session!
Santiago will also be the opportunity to ascertain the solidity and continuity of the programs carried out for the past years. Not only are these programs improved, but also they become broader and more varied in order to benefit our professionals; good will men who unselfishly look for collective progress.

GO RAD |
 ¿What is GO RAD?
GO RAD is a new global outreach program developed by the International Society of Radiology. The purpose is to reach out to and advance radiology education throughout a global radiology community by aggregating current, practical, radiology literature with content targeted and dedicated to developing nations and underserved populations.
As the world of scholarship and education shrinks by virtue of the electronic tools available, it is appropriate for the international leadership in radiology to look to current and future global needs.
 Most major radiology journals publish online and offer educational content of tremendous value to radiologists and other related healthcare providers, but open and easy access to just published content is only available to subscribers.
Through agreements with these cooperating major radiology journals, the GO RAD platform provides immediate open access to a limited amount of otherwise restricted access content, providing an electronic link back to the original on-line article, at the time of first publication.
We hope that you take full advantage of this program to improve the health and well being of all.
STERN, Eric J. MD
Editor-in-Chief, GO RAD |

 Claude Bernard (Saint Julien, 1813 – Paris, 1878) was a French physiologist who was considered by many historians as the founder of modern physiology and pharmacology due to his studies of curare and other poisons. He contributed to the development of medical science and, above all, to the application of the experimental method in the study of biological problems.
He studied Latin with the local parish priest and, after attending a Jesuit school in Villefranche for some years, he moved to Paris, where he entered Medical School. He was an intern with doctors Pierre Rayer (Hotel-Dieu) and Fracois Magendie (College de France). Magendie, who noticed Bernard’s ability in the dissection field, took him as his research assistant.
In 1847 Bernard is appointed Magendie’s second hand in the College de France. This period would be marked by a real explosion of breakthroughs.
In 1856 a Physiology course in Sorbonne University is created for him. At the same time, when he was chosen to be a member of the Academy of Science, he was one of the first to admit the need of a dynamic balance for the maintenance of the living organisms’ internal environment. His research led to the discovery of the glucogenic function of the liver and to the importance of pancreatic juice in the process of digestion; he identified the vasomotor nerves and showed their activity on secretory phenomena; he also clarified the concept of intern secretion.
His masterpiece is Introduction to experimental medicine (1865), in which he argues, by means of a set of principles, that in order to improve, medicine must be based on experimental physiology, thus introducing the concept of “internal environment”. The principles on which he based this argument are logical: the notion of “vital force” doesn’t explain life; vital processes are determined by physical and chemical forces.
Among his pupils, we can find Albert Dastre, Paul Bert and Arsene d’Arsonval. Bert succeeded Bernard in the Sorbonne when he was transferred to the Museum of Natural History.
When he died, his funeral was organized and financed by the government, something that had never been done with any other scientist.
