We welcome abstracts of your latest findings as "late breakthrough papers". These abstracts must be submitted to the Conference Secretariat as camera-ready forms by October 31, 2001. The abstracts will be presented as posters but will not appear in the Abstract Issue of the Journal of Bone and Mineral Metabolism, unless they arrive by July 31, 2001. These abstracts will be subjected to on-site reviewing by the Scientific Committee members, and may be selected to short oral presentations at "Poster Discussion Session" on November 18, 2001.
