Eligibility

All authors must disclose all industry relations for the previous 2 years. It is expected that some authors will have financial and other ties to commercial entities related to products, services, or other aspects of the abstract, either at the time of the submission or previously. We do not consider such potential conflicts of interest to be unethical.However, failure to fully disclose such potential conflicts is unethical.If the study was conducted in an industry laboratory, that must be disclosed.

Ineligibility

Abstracts submitted by industry will not be accepted.Abstracts will not be accepted if ghost written.Abstracts will not be accepted if there is an appearance of industry bias, whether or not conflict of interest has been disclosed.
