The International Society for Adaptive Medicine (ISAM) is an interdisciplinary group interested in adaptive changes occurring in response to different environmental factors, sustained exercise, various pathological conditions or drug administration. Its principle aim is to further the understanding of the basic mechanisms of physiological adaptations at molecular and cellular levels as well as at the level of complex interactions responsible for the integrated control of body functions. Another objective consists in the better understanding of dismissed adaptations responsible for disease development. Finally, studies of different cross-adaptations continue to receive unceasing attention as it was demonstrated that repeated exposure to specific stress stimuli may have applications in the treatment and prophylaxis of different diseases. These observations lead to the recognition of a new discipline of adaptive medicine which offers promise for therapeutic strategies in both experimental and clinical pathology.
The ISAM was created by scientist from a dozen different countries in 1990, in Freiburg, in order to provide a platform for regular confrontation of original data in the field of physiological adaptations and to promote the search for new trails in the field of adaptive medicine. At present, the Society comprises of member worldwide and its meetings bring together clinicians, scientists and engineers who constitute a unique international forum with a vibrant atmosphere. The Society also sponsors regional symposia around the world. The communications presented at some of these meetings are published in the Adaptive Biology and Medicine series. |
