The 2010 meeting of the Society for Ear, Nose, and Throat Advances in Children will be held December 2 to December 5, at the Hyatt Regency Cincinnati, Cincinnati, Ohio.

The Program Committee seeks submission of abstracts relating new information in the diagnosis and treatment of ear, nose, and throat disorders and diseases in children. These should include the fields of otolaryngology, pediatrics, genetics, nursing and other medical specialties; audiology; speech-language pathology; and other relevant research and clinical topics.

Presentations may be in any one of three formats: (1) Brief Communications (5-7 minutes) that provide the opportunity to present significant cases or to describe new ideas and methods, (2) Free Papers (8-12 minutes) that are suitable for reporting on clinical investigations or basic research, and (3) Poster Presentations that will be displayed prominently throughout the meeting.

Content of abstracts: Abstracts limited to 250 words. Reports of basic research or experimental investigations must specify rationale, methods, results, and conclusions. Clinical case reports must contain sufficient detail to document the importance and relevance of case description and must demonstrate a thorough knowledge of any earlier reports of similar cases.

Your abstract must be submitted through this Web site www.sentac.org. Be sure to include accurate author contact information in the requested fields on the submission form. However, the abstract itself must not contain any identifying information (to allow for a blinded review process). The Disclosure form must be submitted with your abstract, otherwise your abstract cannot be considered.

Your abstract must follow the guidelines specified above and must be submitted no later than July 26, 2010.

The Program Committee - chaired by David Parsons, MD - will review all abstracts.
