Stress & Supplements: HPA Axis Dysfunction & The Role of Adaptogens In the pandemic era, patients are increasingly turning to over-the-counter natural products to help address chronic stress. This talk will review the evidence and clinical application of adaptogenic dietary supplements, and how they interact with the HPA axis. It will discuss the current state of regulation of dietary supplements in the US, and how to best guide patients on their safe and appropriate use. Guest: Melinda Ring, MD, FACP, ABOIM, executive director, Osher Center for Integrative Health at Northwestern University; Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine (General Internal Medicine and Geriatrics) and Medical Social Sciences

ABB Optical Group Present: The 9th Annual Optometry Student Poster Challenge

Dr. Heather Haq will present essential considerations for trainees, pediatricians, and other health professionals prior to engaging in global health work. These considerations include ensuring that individuals have examined their motivations for travel, are adequately prepared, and that engagements are rooted in sustainable partnerships, ethically sound, and mutually beneficial.

Patient diversity and representation in clinical trials have become a priority for stakeholders across the industry and for regulatory authorities around the world. Join the featured speakers as they discuss some of the factors underpinning the lack of patient diversity in clinical trials, investigate the implications this has for patients, and discuss what we can do to design more patient-centric and diverse clinical trials.

Explore applications of CRISPR and iPSCs in disease modeling and drug discovery in our upcoming webinar with Synthego and BrainXell.Standardizing cell models is essential for drug discovery and investigating mechanisms influencing disease onset. Using iPSC-derived neurons and glia marks a revolutionary shift in drug discovery, enabling direct study of novel therapeutics on human neurons without relying on primary human tissue. By creating specific neuron and glia subtypes, researchers can delve into disease pathways, comparing edited to control cell lines to aid in developing therapeutics to treat those diseases.To accelerate the drug discovery workflow focused on curing neurodegenerative and neuro-related diseases, Synthego and BrainXell’s partnership is streamlining this workflow by leveraging Synthego’s CRISPR expertise and BrainXell’s mastery of working with iPS cells and neurons to make curing those diseases within reach.

Discover an informative webinar to unravel the complexity of the Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS) and explore the regulatory structure in Europe. Most importantly, let’s discuss whether all the latest changes in the regulatory landscape still position Europe as the number one destination for clinical trials.

In this digital age, technology has opened up new frontiers in healthcare, and diabetes management is no exception. Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) systems have emerged as a game-changer in the way individuals of all ages cope with diabetes. Join us on this enlightening journey as we explore how these innovations reshape the lives of those with diabetes, ensuring better control and a brighter future.

While air pollution is a major public health threat across Africa, public awareness on health effects of air pollution remains limited. Effective communication on the topic to key stakeholders can help to build support for policy measures that result in air quality improvements over time. The goal of this webinar is to examine approaches to enhance uptake of information related to air pollution and health from a variety of perspectives. Speakers will discuss ideas for mobilizing support for interventions on air pollution and showcase best practices for communicating information on air pollution and health with various audiences. This webinar is co-hosted by HEI and C40 Cities. This is the third webinar in a 4-part series designed to foster engagement, collaboration, learning and peer-exchange in relation to research and policy on air quality and health. The webinars are free to attend and will be conducted in English. Slides and recordings will be made available after each webinar.
