Abstract(Please copy/paste the abstract send to the congress) : Abstract
Background: Renal colic is considered as a medical emergency due to the rapid onset and devastating nature of its pain. Opioids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are both used as first line choices in its management. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of opioids and NSAIDs in the management of acute renal colic.
Methods: One-hundred and fifty-eight patients (102 female and 56 male) were divided into two groups (n=79) and received either 10 mg morphine or 100 mg indomethacin suppositories. The severity of pain was measured using verbal numeric rating scale at baseline and 20, 40, 60 and 90 minutes after the administration of analgesics. Drug side effects as well as patients’ vital signs were also recorded. 
Results: The mean decrease in the pain score during the first 20 minutes after the admission was significantly higher among those who received suppository morphine comparing to those who received suppository indomethacin (5.46 ± 1.34 vs. 4.36 ± 1.62, P<0.001). However, no significant difference was observed between the two groups regarding the mean decrease in pain score during the first 40, 60 and 90 minutes after the admission. There was no significant difference between the two groups regarding the prevalence of drug side effects or changes in the vital signs.
Conclusions: Morphine suppositories seem to be more efficient in achieving rapid pain relief comparing to their indomethacin counterparts. Hence, morphine remains as a yet irreplaceable analgesic in the management of acute pain among renal colic patients.

Your experiences about the travel processes(Providing ticket, accommodation,...) : 1)high cost of life in Austria including accommodation, taxi, foods
2)even with significant discount for developing countries the registration fee was expensive according to Euro conversion rate with Rial
Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : Although it was my first trip to European medical congresses It was surprisingly well-organized and on time, attending persons after paying registration fee could take part in every panels without any extra charge.
Another interesting issue for me was enthusiastic between partners to take part in panels that about 10 minutes before each panel you can not find any empty place for sitting so, many persons while sitting on the floor were following lectures.
One more lesson for me was that I myself had not exact understanding of patients pain and it seems that most of physicians usually underestimate patients pain but for this purpose in the main hall of congress venue they place an especial machine to make different levels of pain in your arm virtually to help physicians for better comprehension of pain and it was grate!
