Food Allergy Gordon Research Conference (GRC) 2020 is organized by Gordon Research Conferences (GRC) and will be held from Jan 05 - 10, 2020 at Ventura Beach Marriott, Ventura, California, United States of America.
Conference Description:
Better understanding innate and adaptive immunity to dietary antigens and their integration with the neurosensory circuits operating at mucosal sites which together maintain the homeostatic balance between an organism's need to absorb nutrition while limiting damage from potentially harmful stimuli, such as toxins, while also maintaining appropriate immune defense and barrier function, is likely to provide new insight into the etiology of food allergy.
In addition, evidence has mounted that other epithelial interfaces, particularly the skin, play an important role in allergic sensitization to dietary antigens involving innate immune pathways that respond to and regulate barrier function. These integrated pathways operate in a wide range of contexts and no single academic field of study can adequately pursue the better understanding needed in isolation.
The 2020 Food Allergy Gordon Conference aims to stimulate discussion among investigators from multiple disciplines and disease areas to place Food Allergy research in the larger context and ideally advance collaborative science and new discoveries.
Conference Program:
The conference will consist of nine sessions, on the topics listed below. The conference chair is currently developing their preliminary program, which will include the names of the invited speakers and discussion leaders for each of these sessions.
• The State of Food Allergy Research and Lessons from Other Immunology Research
• Innate and Adaptive Th2 Immunity in Neurodevelopment, Oncology, and Autoimmunity: Lessons for the Field
• Lessons from Vaccinology for the Development of Rational Interventions in Food Allergy
• Eicosanoid Dysregulation and Pathogenic Th2 Immunity
• Neurosensory Pathways Relevant to Aversive Food Responses
• Regulation and Maintenance of Type 2 Immunity: Adaptive
• Regulation and Maintenance of Type 2 Immunity: Innate
• Food Allergy Risk Determinants
• Food Allergy Prevention: Clinical Science and Best Practice.

Description:
If you aren’t asking about your clients’ sleep, you’re making mistakes as a clinician. All clinicians should know how to properly assess and treat insomnia – sleep is that important for your clients’ health and quality of life.
It’s no secret that insomnia frequently develops as a result of PTSD, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and a wider variety of other behavioral and medical disorders. Traditional wisdom has been that if you treat the primary disorder, the insomnia will go away. However, the data does not support this traditional wisdom. Although the primary disorder improves somewhat, the insomnia often does not, which can lead to diminished improvements in clinical outcomes regarding the primary disorder, increased dropout rate and higher relapse rates.
Despite you doing everything you can to target the primary disorder, your client continues to be tired and struggles more with symptoms of the primary disorder, leaving you frustrated and overwhelmed because you don’t know what to do next. The truth is, when clients have PTSD, anxiety, depression, or chronic pain, their symptoms are made worse --- and treatment more difficult --- when they’re not able to sleep. Therefore, the insomnia must be targeted directly.
Improve clinical outcomes in clients by integrating the treatment of insomnia into your practice!
Join Diplomate in Behavioral Sleep Medicine Donn Posner, Ph.D., and he’ll walk you step-by-step through the treatment of insomnia. You’ll learn how to properly assess and develop a treatment plan for insomnia, as well as how to educate your clients about sleep to make them experts on their own sleep disorders. Discover evidence-based strategies to help your clients sleep longer and more efficiently, as well as enjoy increased energy levels during the day. As a result, your clients’ symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, depression, and chronic pain will decrease in frequency and severity.
You’ll walk away from this course with the tools you need to treat insomnia. Better still, you’ll add vital techniques to your clinical tool kit that you didn’t know were missing.
Register today to learn how to treat insomnia and revolutionize your treatment outcomes!
Objectives:
• Summarize the basics of sleep nomenclature including sleep period, phase, continuity, and architecture to inform clinical treatment interventions.
• Conduct a clinical assessment to differentiate acute insomnia from insomnia disorder in clients and articulate the importance of treating the chronic form as a specifically targeted co-morbidity.
• Explore the empirical evidence for the efficacy of CBT-I for both primary and co-morbid insomnia disorder to inform the clinician’s choice of treatment interventions.
• Articulate the basics of sleep regulation and demonstrate how to utilize these concepts in the deployment of CBT-I in clinical practice.
• Identify how to obtain useable client sleep diary data and strategies for analyzing the data for use in the treatment of insomnia.
• Apply the techniques of stimulus control, sleep restriction, sleep hygiene education and cognitive therapeutic strategies to the clinical treatment of chronic insomnia.
