Abstract
Fourteen years ago, in July 2009, we held the first Progress in Primary Aldosteronism (PIPA) meeting in Munich. Our idea was that a meeting dedicated to primary aldosteronism (PA) would facilitate collaborative research and scientific exchange in the field. Since then, five more PIPA meetings in 2011, 2013, 2015, 2017 and 2019 gathered scientists from around the world and led to the Progress in Primary Aldosteronism special issues in Hormone and Metabolic Research (2011, 2015, 2017, 2020) and in the European Journal of Endocrinology (2013) that covered current knowledge by PIPA participants. Also, numerous collaborative projects were initiated at these conferences. Then, in 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak caused an unprecedented challenge to humanity, science and research. Worldwide public and private initiatives were undertaken to fight the pandemic, and for 2 long years, everyone was stuck in a black hole. Research related to the COVID-19 emergency increased dramatically, and increasing resources were directed towards pandemic-related research areas. Research in many fields, not directly related to the pandemic, suffered or was partially displaced [1]. Due to the pandemic, we were unable to hold our biennial PIPA meeting in 2021.
期刊介绍:
Publishing outstanding articles from all fields of endocrinology and diabetology, from molecular biology to clinical research, this journal is a brilliant resource. Since being published in English in 1983, the popularity of this journal has grown steadily, reflecting the importance of this publication within its field.
Original contributions and short communications appear in each issue along with reviews addressing current topics. In addition, supplementary issues are published each year presenting abstracts or proceedings of national and international scientific meetings.
The journal was initially published in German and is still the oldest endocrinological periodical in the German-language market!
