The upcoming
NAMS 2017 annual meeting that will be held at Philadelphia October 11-14 is sure
to be an academic feast. The scientific session will bring in all the latest and
comprehensive updates from world renowned speakers with focus on the
technological advances that can help women in seemingly smooth transition through
the menopausal years.
The meeting
is going to kick start with a pre-meeting symposium about Musculoskeletal
Health in Postmenopausal Women: Assessment and Management of Fracture Risk by Co-Chair, Michael R. McClung, MD.
This symposium will cover assessment of postmenopausal osteoporosis; including dual-energy
x-ray absorptiometry(DXA) best practices and new imaging modalities. It will
also cover the new pharmacological therapies for osteoporosis and ways to
improve the muscle functions.
This will be followed by President’s Reception and other CME
activities. The topics that are expected to be covered include: Vaginal Health
and Pelvic Pain, Hormone Therapy, Uterine Bleeding and Adnexal Masses, Lesbian
Health and Sexuality, Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors, Migraines and Mood
Disorders in Midlife Women, Advances in Breast Imaging, Musculoskeletal Health
Concerns, Social Media and Technology: Driving the Direction of Women’s Health
and Update on MsFLASH Trials.
The NAMS updated position statement on Hormone therapy will be
presented by JoAnn Pinkerton, MD, from the University of Virginia in
Charlottesville, who is executive director of NAMS.
The findings of WHI follow -up study published in JAMA, played a key
role in supporting some of the recommendations.
Technological advances, especially mobile health technology and its
role in improving patient’s engagement and health will also be focused upon.
In all, the meeting will engage a diverse, multiracial, multiethnic and
multispecialty group of people with varied interests, but there will be something
for everyone.
Looking forward seeing latest updates and good clinical research
abstracts from the meeting.
