The 6th Annual Symposium on Hidradenitis Suppurativa Advances (SHSA) Meeting

摘要 化脓性汗腺炎(HS)是一种常见的炎症性疾病，对患者有严重的负面影响，但 它经常被误诊和治疗不当。化脓性汗管炎学术研讨会进展 (SHSA)支持美国和加拿大HS基金会治愈HS和改善HS的使命 通过为以下方面提供论坛来改善受影响人群的生活：(1)为新老员工提供教育和指导 HS研究人员；(2)集中于阐明HS发病机制的现有和新的研究项目； 以及(3)支持所有利益攸关方之间的传播和交流，以改进研究。SHSA是独特的 因为它吸收了来自多个学科的研究人员，它包括患者作为研究伙伴，以及 能够实现立即影响北美两个大型组织活动的成果 致力于研究HS。SHSA将汇集350多名早期和成熟的研究人员 和患者进行为期2.5天的创新研究展示和讨论，多个海报会议向所有人开放 与会者包括患者，以及支持新研究人员和新合作的网络会议。这 会议旨在促进新的和现有的研究人员在基础、 翻译领域和临床领域。SHSA的会议记录将分发给患者和 通过组织时事通讯、社交媒体和同行的数字和印刷版提供专业受众- 回顾了出版物。会议记录和与会者的反馈也将被纳入后续的SHSA 以及HS基金会的计划和活动。

Abstract Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a common inflammatory condition with a drastic negative effect on patients, but it is frequently misdiagnosed and inadequately treated. The Symposium on Hidradenitis Suppurativa Advances (SHSA) supports the missions of the HS Foundations of the United States and Canada to cure HS and improve the lives of those affected by providing a forum for: (1) Provide education and mentorship to new and established HS researchers; (2) Advance existing and new research projects focused on elucidating the pathogenesis of HS; and (3) Support dissemination and exchange among all stakeholders to improve research. The SHSA is unique for its inclusion of researchers from across multiple disciplines, its inclusion of patients as research partners, and the ability for meeting outcomes to immediately impact the activities of two large organizations in North America dedicated to researching HS. The SHSA will bring together more than 350 early and established researchers and patients for 2.5 days of presenting and discussing innovative research, multiple poster sessions open to all attendees including patients, and networking sessions to support new researchers and new collaborations. This meeting aims to foster significant and innovative research by new and established researchers across the basic, translational, and clinical domains. Proceedings of the SHSA will be disseminated to both patient and professional audiences via digital and print versions of organizational newsletters, social media, and peer- reviewed publications. The proceedings and attendee feedback will also be incorporated into subsequent SHSA and HS Foundation programs and activities.
