The International Society of Oxygen Transport to Tissue (ISOTT) was
founded in 1973 to provide a forum for bioengineers, basic
scientists, physiologists, and physicians to discuss new data,
original theories, new interpretations of old data, and new
technologies for the measurement of oxygen. At each annual meeting
all posters are presented orally along with plenary lectures, and
all presentations are given in a general session attended by
everyone. Each meeting has had a specific focus, ranging from
neonatology to physical chemistry to cancer biology. The Society
has helped to build many careers, through opportunities to meet
leaders in the field, and through awards made to young physicians
and scientists. The Society also, through cross fertilization of
ideas and scientific comradery, has inspired many breakthroughs in
clinical medicine that now benefit mankind. I find myself president
of the society after having been a winner of the Melvin Knisely
Award for young scientists, in 1991. The 2003 meeting emphasized
the role of oxygen and oxygen measurement in tumor growth,
metastasis, physiology, and treatment resistance. Additionally,
however, completely novel approaches to measurement of tissue
oxygen were presented (notably work by Dr. Takahashi) and molecular
methods for estimating tissue oxygen were evaluated. Papers
discussing other aspects of oxygen measurement and pathophysiology
were presented including in vivo ESR spectroscopy (notably
including Dr. Swartz and colleagues), exercise physiology, organ
transplant outcome (discussed by Dr. Cicco, our 2004 president),
circulatory physiology, and cerebral oxygenation (notably including
Dr. Chance).
