DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): ABSTRACT: This application requests partial support for the Fourth Annual "What a Difference an X Makes Conference" to be held July 18-19, 2013 in Washington, DC. SWHR's "What a Difference an X Makes: The State of Women's Health" conferences are designed to raise awareness about the importance of sex differences in various diseases and conditions that affect both men and women. The "What a Difference an X Makes Conference" gives SWHR an opportunity to remind stakeholders of the importance of understanding biological differences between men and women that affect health and disease. The conference is geared towards a multidisciplinary audience of researchers, clinicians and allied health care professionals from various academic institutions, patient advocacy groups, federal agency employees, representatives of the pharmaceutical industry, media reporters, and science writers, etc. This year's meeting, "What a Difference an X Makes: The State of Women's Health," will provide expert, interdisciplinary perspectives on the role of stress, sexual health, mental health and nutrition/obesity on the development, maintenance, and outcome of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, musculoskeletal disease, autoimmune disease and breast cancer. This conference will bring together a multidisciplinary audience of researchers, clinicians and allied health care professionals from various academic institutions, patient advocacy groups, federal agency employees, representatives of the pharmaceutical industry, and media. The primary goal of the meeting is to bring an interdisciplinary group of experts together to discuss how the "hot" themes of stress, sexual health, mental health and nutrition/obesity influence chronic diseases. The two-day meeting consists of opening and closing remarks, two keynote addresses and four sessions, each composed of two panel discussions. In addition, we anticipate presenting approximately 30 posters from new investigators. The session topics will include, 1) The Biology of Stress: Panelists will describe the biological mechanisms of inflammation, sex differences in inflammation and stress, the roll of inflammation and stress in the development of chronic disease and possible interventions to break the stress/chronic disease link; 2) Sexual Health Across Her Lifespan : Panelists will describe the risks/benefits of hormone use and the lifelong consequences of STIs; 3) The Female Brain: Panelists will demonstrate how mental health, drug dependence, and pain factor into the management of chronic diseases in women; 4) Nutrition and Obesity: Panelists will address the role of diet, food additives and obesity in chronic diseases. The size (about 160) and the organization of this meeting provide an excellent opportunity for networking and interactive discussions. Funds are requested to help offset speaker travel. The annual meeting program, including speaker and poster abstracts, will be made freely available on the SWHR website (www.swhr.org). SWHR will organize this event and is requesting support from the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, as well as from private foundations.

摘要：本申请申请为将于2013年7月18日至19日在华盛顿举行的第四届年度“What a Difference an X Makes Conference”提供部分支持。SWHR的“一个X带来了多大的不同：妇女健康状况”会议旨在提高人们对影响男女的各种疾病和病症中性别差异重要性的认识。“一个X带来多大的不同”会议使妇女健康与健康关系中心有机会提醒各利益攸关方了解影响健康和疾病的男女生理差异的重要性。会议面向来自不同学术机构的研究人员、临床医生和联合卫生保健专业人员、患者倡导团体、联邦机构雇员、制药业代表、媒体记者和科学作家等多学科听众。今年的会议题为“一个X带来的不同：妇女健康状况”，将提供专家、跨学科的观点，探讨压力、性健康、心理健康和营养/肥胖在慢性疾病（如心血管疾病、肌肉骨骼疾病、自身免疫性疾病和乳腺癌）的发展、维持和结局中的作用。本次会议将汇集来自不同学术机构、患者倡导团体、联邦机构雇员、制药行业代表和媒体的多学科研究人员、临床医生和联合卫生保健专业人员。会议的主要目标是召集一个跨学科专家小组，讨论压力、性健康、心理健康和营养/肥胖等“热门”主题如何影响慢性疾病。为期两天的会议包括开幕词和闭幕词，两个主题演讲和四个会议，每个会议由两个小组讨论组成。此外，我们预计将展示大约30张新调查员的海报。会议主题将包括：1)压力生物学：小组成员将描述炎症的生物学机制，炎症和压力的性别差异，炎症和压力在慢性疾病发展中的作用，以及可能的干预措施来打破压力/慢性疾病的联系；2)一生的性健康：小组成员将描述使用激素的风险/益处以及性传播感染的终身后果；3)女性大脑：小组成员将展示心理健康、药物依赖和疼痛因素如何影响女性慢性疾病的管理；4)营养和肥胖：小组成员将讨论饮食、食品添加剂和肥胖在慢性疾病中的作用。本次会议的规模（约160人）和组织为交流和互动讨论提供了绝佳的机会。请拨经费以帮助抵消发言者的旅费。年会计划，包括演讲和海报摘要，将在SWHR网站（www.swhr.org）上免费提供。SWHR将组织这次活动，并请求制药和生物技术行业以及私人基金会的支持。
