Qiuping Zhang has her expertise in nesprin family research in cardiovascular biology field, specifically on understanding the complex roles of nesprin-1 and -2, family members of multi-isomeric scaffolding proteins, in regulating normal and pathological processes in the heart and muscle. She has extensive studies on the role of nesprins in myoblast differentiation and function as well as mutations in nesprin-1 or -2 in association with Emery Dreifuss muscular dystrophy and dilated cardiomyopathy. Her current research is focusing on defining the roles of nesprins in cardiac cell function by determining the functional significance of novel nesprin-1 and -2 mutations on the linker of nucleoskeleton-and-cytoskeleton complex that connects the nuclear envelope to the actin cytoskeleton, and also identifying novel roles for nesprins in the sarcomere. This may reveal novel pathways that contribute to the development of cardiac cell dysfunction and cardiomyopathy.

Arlindo Lemos Junior has been working in endovascular procedures since 1991, when he first participated in an iliac artery stent in Bellvitge Hospital, Barcelona - Spain. Since then he developed his expertise and passion in acquiring new techniques in the Field. He has been studying Congestion Pelvic Syndrome for more than 10 years, when he was introduced to Dr.J.Leal Monedero from Madrid - Spain. Since then, he become interested in learning the physiopathology, diagnosis and treatment of Compression Vein Syndromes, such as common iliac vein and left renal vein ones, better known as May-Thurner Syndrome and Nutcracker Syndrome. The association of Recurrent Varicocele and Renal Vein compression is described in several papers in the Literature, many urologists do not have comprehension about the hemodynamic aspects of vein flow and reflux.
