DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Third Congress of the International Society for Vascular Behavioral and Cognitive Disorders (VAS-COG) will bring interdisciplinary basic and clinical research interests together for the exchange and dissemination of information related to vascular causes of various brain disorders. The VAS-COG meeting objectives are as follows: To foster collaborations among different medical sub-specialties including neurologists, psychiatrists, cardiologists, and geriatricians To foster collaboration among basic, clinical and epidemiologic investigators To provide an update on new areas of research aimed at understanding the interaction between the vascular and neural systems To provide a forum for young investigators to present their research and interact with senior scientists To provide guidance on clinical, imaging, neuropsychological, and neuropathologic markers of vascular disease that could be incorporated into research and clinic settings. This is our first North American meeting and offers an important opportunity to involve Hispanic professionals in this rapidly evolving area of research and clinical practice. Vascular cognitive, affective and mental disorders disproportionately affect the elderly and Hispanic populations in the United States (US). Both groups are rapidly expanding. The number of elderly non-Hispanic whites will double in coming decades, while the number of elderly Hispanics will quadruple. Our target audience includes clinicians, scientists, nurses, social workers, representatives of government and social agencies, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies The expected structure of the audience is to be 50% basic sciences, 30% clinical and 20% social sciences. Based on our past experience, young investigators are estimated to comprise 30% of the audience. Women are estimated to comprise 40% of the audience. Hispanics are expected to comprise 30%. Dates: July 11-15, 2007 Location: Marriott River center, San Antonio, TX The Third Congress of the International Society for Vascular Behavioral and Cognitive Disorders (VAS-COG) will address recent advances in vascular cognitive, affective and mental disorders, including stroke, stroke related dementias, depression and diabetes associated cognitive impairments. These conditions disproportionately affect the elderly and Hispanic populations in the United States. Many vascular cognitive disorders are preventable and potentially reversible. VAS-COG will provide a forum in which information on these important conditions can be exchanged and disseminated.

描述(由申请者提供)：第三届国际血管行为和认知障碍学会大会(VAS-COG)将把跨学科的基础和临床研究兴趣聚集在一起，交流和传播与各种脑部疾病的血管病因有关的信息。VAS-COG会议的目标如下：促进不同医学子专业之间的合作，包括神经学家、精神病学家、心脏病学家和老年病学家，促进基础、临床和流行病学研究人员之间的合作，提供旨在了解血管和神经系统之间相互作用的新研究领域的最新研究成果，为年轻研究人员提供一个论坛，介绍他们的研究并与资深科学家互动，就可纳入研究和临床环境的血管疾病的临床、影像、神经心理学和神经病理学标记物提供指导。这是我们在北美的第一次会议，并提供了一个让拉美裔专业人士参与这一快速发展的研究和临床实践领域的重要机会。在美国，血管认知、情感和精神障碍对老年人和拉美裔人口的影响不成比例。这两家集团都在迅速扩张。在接下来的几十年里，老年非西班牙裔白人的数量将翻一番，而老年拉美裔美国人的数量将翻两番。我们的目标受众包括临床医生、科学家、护士、社会工作者、政府和社会机构的代表、制药和生物技术公司。预期受众的结构将是50%的基础科学，30%的临床科学和20%的社会科学。根据我们过去的经验，年轻的调查人员估计占观众的30%。据估计，女性观众占观众的40%。拉美裔美国人预计将占30%。日期：2007年7月11日至15日地点：德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥万豪中心第三届国际血管行为和认知障碍学会大会(VAS-COG)将讨论血管认知、情感和精神障碍方面的最新进展，包括中风、中风相关痴呆、抑郁症和糖尿病相关认知障碍。这些疾病对美国的老年人和拉美裔人口的影响不成比例。许多血管认知障碍是可以预防的，而且可能是可逆的。VAS-COG将提供一个论坛，在这个论坛上可以交流和传播有关这些重要情况的信息。
