| 4. | [ID=197980]Public Health and Human Rights: The Work Ahead of Us |
| 05 Dec 2008; New York, United States |
| abstract: The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health is partnering with The New York Academy of Sciences for the 2nd year to host a half-day symposium to evaluate progress in public health and human rights on the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. On December 10, 1948, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the first international recognition that human rights are absolute and inclusive of all, and that they should concern the entire international community. This doctrine has served as the foundation of international human rights law, and it continues to inspire international human rights treaties and declarations, regional conventions, and national constitutions. Sadly, the work of the Declaration is far from finished. Some of the world's most neglected populations suffer the worst human rights abrogations, as well as the added burdens of disease and malnutrition. Where human rights are ignored, health care tends to be unequal, inadequate, or nonexistent. Please join us as we examine the progress we have made in the 60 years since the Universal Declaration of Human Rights—and as we look ahead to navigating the roadblocks, contradictions, and challenges to public health and human rights at home and abroad. |

| 5. | [ID=206770]7th Annual Dr. Roizen's Complementary Alternative Medicine Conferene - The Science and the Art of Non-Traditional Medical Therapies from Cleveland Clinic and Northwestern Memorial Physicians Group |
| 05 Dec 2008 → 07 Dec 2008; Chicago, IL, United States |
| abstract: Patients turn to alternative, complementary, and integrative medical therapies, which they learn about from support groups, the press, the Internet, and other non-medical sources. They learn that diseases and poor health can be prevented or reversed, and not just treated. Since many of these therapies are outside mainstream medicine, physicians may not be familiar with these alternative therapies and may be uncomfortable discussing them with their patients or prescribing them. The objective of this conference is to provide up-to-date scientific information on the use of various popular alternative and complementary medical therapies in the treatment of disease, the prevention of disease, and the promotion of general good health and well-being. The conference will focus on separating what works from what doesn’t, with evidence-based discussions helping practitioners understand the value and the limitations of these treatments, and how to integrate them into a patient-specific management plan. By narrowing the educational gap among practitioners regarding these therapies, this program will ultimately translate into improved patient outcomes. Co-Sponsored by the Cleveland Clinic and Northwestern Memorial Physicians Group, the conference is designed to be an exciting, provocative, and educational forum. |
| topics: This educational activity is designed for complementary alternative medical therapy professionals, family and general practitioners, internists, obstetricians and gynecologists, anesthesiologists, acupuncturists, pain managers and therapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, nurses, nurse practitioners, dietitians, physical therapists, physician assistants, and other interested professions. |

| 7. | [ID=209416]Gordon Research Conference — Chemical & Biological Terrorism Defense - Integrating "Everyday" With "Maybe Someday" |
| 18 Jan 2009 → 23 Aug 2009; Galveston, TX, United States |
| abstract: There are numerous challenges in developing defenses, particularly medical countermeasures, or detection systems, to address biological or chemical threats. If the products or systems address only a particular agent, and have no other application, the cost of development and preparedness is enormously high relative to the perceived benefit of having these tools at hand. This Conference will focus on an array of topics in which new research has been focused on broad spectrum and platform technology approaches to discovering and developing defenses for biological and chemical threats that both leverage and integrate "everyday" applications. |

| 27 Jan 2009 → 28 Jan 2009; New York, United States |
| organizer: New York Academy of Sciences (NYAS) |
| abstract: Advances in biomarker development are revolutionizing the way we study, diagnose and treat disease. However, progress in the development and use of biomarkers for diseases of the central nervous system has been limited by a number of difficulties - including inherent barriers associated with studying the brain. Development of reliable biomarkers for brain disorders would dramatically accelerate research on the etiology, pathophysiology, disease progression and therapeutic development of many very prevalent and devastating diseases including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, and others. During this 2-day meeting, international experts will gather to discuss the latest advances in biomarker technologies and biomarker development for brain disorders, as well as the logistical, regulatory and funding challenges experienced by scientists working on clinical trials for biomarkers. |

| 12 Mar 2009 → 14 Mar 2009; New York, United States |
| organizer: New York Academy of Sciences (NYAS) |
| abstract: Ask any mountain climber or deep-sea diver: when it comes to oxygen deprivation, timing is everything. The body is not only affected by how long it goes without oxygen, but also by the time it takes for its cells to react to this shortage of oxygen, also known as hypoxia. Both rapid and delayed responses have a profound impact on normal physiological function, and on the progression of diseases such as pulmonary hypertension, sleep apnea, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders. Join us for this exploration of transcriptional and pathophysiological responses to hypoxia, and of the sensing mechanisms responsible for detection of oxygen level changes in the body. |

| 02 Aug 2009 → 07 Aug 2009; Salve Regina University, Newport, RI , United States |
| abstract: This conference will emphasize mechanisms of angiogenesis and microvascular remodeling and their functional consequences in development and disease. Because angiogenesis and vascular remodeling are recognized as essential for tumor growth and progression of chronic disease, understanding the biological principles and factors that drive or inhibit blood vessel formation has gained importance. Increasing use of angiogenesis inhibitors in cancer and eye disease not only is enabling assessment of efficacy but also is revealing previously unrecognized features of vascular plasticity. The conference will explore current views of the regulation of angiogenesis, by examining the molecular mechanisms of blood vessel formation, maturation and regression. The conference will also address conditions that drive blood vessel abnormalities under pathological conditions and strategies for stopping angiogenesis, destroying defective blood vessels, and normalizing the vasculature at sites of disease. |

| 51. | [ID=209359]Gordon Research Conference — Catecholamines |
| 09 Aug 2009 → 14 Aug 2009; University of New England, United States |
| abstract: The 2009 GRC on Catecholamines will focus on cutting-edge developments in catecholamine research. In recent years, catecholamines have been the focus of investigations using a broad range of approaches from molecular biology to behavior and clinical studies. One of the characteristics of the field is that neuronal systems using catecholamines have much in common, although investigators who focus on particular catecholamines or on different actions of the same catecholamine are often unaware of complementary aspects of catecholamine research. It is increasingly apparent that continued progress will require increasingly integrated approaches in studies of catecholamine biology, function and dysfunction. Thus, molecular biologists are being drawn to more integrated systems approaches and behavioral biologists are exploiting many molecular approaches. |
