The International Society for Gender Medicine: History and
Highlights is about a major step in the improvement of quality in
medicine, namely the long overdue understanding that women are
different from men in every system of the body and may require
different approaches in diagnosis and treatment. This is not a
textbook, nor is it a scientific publication. It is the story of
the International Society for Gender Medicine (IGM) as soon through
the eyes of 12 pioneers of Gender and Sex Specific Medicine (GSSM)
from seven countries, five of whom were the founds of IGM in 2006.
It describes the development of this new science in the respective
countries and academic environments of the authors, their very
personal experience while promoting, and implementing their vision
of GSSM, their frustrations, successes, and achievements. The field
of gender-specific medicine examines how normal human biology and
physiology differ between men and women and how the diagnosis and
treatment of disease differs as a function of gender and sex. Among
the areas of greatest difference are cardiovascular disease, mood
disorders, the immune system, cancer, osteoporosis, diabetes,
obesity, and infectious diseases. This book is essential reading
for all researchers, graduate students, practitioners, and anyone
interested in this diverse and thriving field. From the early
beginning, to the recent NIH mandate that females be included in
pre-clinical as well as clinical research and that research results
be reported by sex, the quick read will broaden your understanding
of the history of the field and highlight where the future is
headed.
