Clinical and Scientific Advances in the Treatment of Poorly Healing Wounds

描述（由申请人提供）：芝加哥伊利诺伊大学伤口愈合和组织再生中心（CWHTR）为为期一天的题为“愈合不良伤口治疗的临床和科学进展”的研讨会寻求部分支持。研讨会将于2010年5月14日在伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校（UIC）校园举行，公共交通十分便利。伤口愈合不良是一个严重的公共卫生问题，影响着美国数百万人。本次会议将探讨此类伤口患者治疗中的关键问题，并将审查该领域最新的转化研究成果。第一部分，愈合不良伤口护理中的关键问题，包括两位演讲者，他们将讨论慢性伤口和烧伤伤口护理中的当代临床问题，这两个领域都具有重要的临床意义。第二部分，伤口愈合的新转化进展，将由四名专家在转化研究领域的报告组成，以改善愈合结果。选择演讲者和主题的组合是为了在慢性和愈合不良的伤口领域激发新的想法和合作。研讨会旨在汇集临床从业人员和基础科学家，以激发对转化方法的讨论。会议发言人将被要求强调新的未发表的结果，并在节目中包括了大量的讨论时间。鼓励与会者在喝咖啡休息时进行非正式讨论，并在午餐时采用圆桌形式。将大幅降低注册费，鼓励年轻科学家和学员参与，并将提供奖学金，以支持代表性不足的少数民族的参与。对该计划的支持将确保会议将包括顶级科学家和临床医生，并将使CWHTR能够将其服务范围扩大到临床和研究专业人员的更广泛受众。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Center for Wound Healing and Tissue Regeneration (CWHTR) at the University of Illinois at Chicago seeks partial support for a one-day symposium entitled "Clinical and Scientific Advances in the Treatment of Poorly Healing Wounds". The symposium will be held on May 14, 2010 on the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) campus, a site conveniently reached by public transportation. Poorly healing wounds are a critical public health problem which affects millions of persons in the US. This conference will explore the critical issues in the treatment of patients with such wounds and will examine the latest translational research findings in this area. Session I, Critical Issues in the Care of Poorly Healing Wounds, includes two speakers who will discuss contemporary clinical issues in the care of chronic wounds and burn wounds, both areas of substantial clinical importance. Session II, Novel Translational Advances in Wound Healing, will be comprised of four presentations by experts in the area of translational research to improve healing outcomes. The combination of speakers and topics has been selected with the specific intention of stimulating new ideas and collaborations in the field of chronic and poorly healing wounds. The symposium intends to bring together both clinical practitioners and basic scientists in order to stimulate discussion of translational methodologies. The session speakers will be asked to emphasize novel unpublished results, and significant time for discussion is included in the program. Informal discussion among participants will be encouraged during coffee breaks and the utilization of a round table format at lunch. Participation by young scientists and trainees will be encouraged by a highly reduced registration fee, and scholarships to support the involvement of underrepresented minorities will be offered. Support of this program will assure that the meeting will include top-level scientists and clinicians, and will allow the CWHTR to extend its outreach to a broader audience of both clinical and research professionals.
