Insights
The 3rd Annual Symposium on Hidradenitis Suppurativa Advances (SHSA) convened experts to discuss breakthroughs in hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) research and patient care. Key topics included HS pathogenesis, diagnosis, and updated management guidelines for this chronic inflammatory skin condition.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology and Immunology
- Inflammatory Skin Diseases
- Medical Symposia and Conferences
Background:
- Hidradenitis Suppurativa Advances (SHSA) is a premier international conference focusing on HS.
- The 2018 symposium was a joint meeting of the Hidradenitis Suppurativa Foundation (HSF) and the Canadian Hidradenitis Suppurativa Foundation (CHSF).
Framework:
- Cross-disciplinary discussions on pathogenesis, epidemiology, classification, and scoring systems.
- Exploration of advanced diagnostic tools, including radiologic imaging and ultrasound.
- Focus on evolving treatment modalities and psychologic assessment for HS patients.
Implementation:
- Dedicated sessions addressed HS as a systemic disease and presented updated management guidelines.
- Workshops provided practical training in wound healing and ultrasound techniques.
- Patient-focused sessions, including the HS School program, facilitated direct engagement and education.
Implications:
- Fostered collaboration among global experts in HS research and clinical practice.
- Enhanced understanding and management strategies for hidradenitis suppurativa.
- Promoted networking opportunities for early-career professionals and established researchers in the HS field.
Abstract:
The 3rd Annual Symposium on Hidradenitis Suppurativa Advances (SHSA) took place on 12-14 October 2018 at the Women's College Hospital in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. This symposium was a joint meeting of the Hidradenitis Suppurativa Foundation (HSF) founded in the USA and the Canadian Hidradenitis Suppurativa Foundation (CHSF). This cross-disciplinary meeting with experts from around the world was an opportunity to discuss the most recent advances in the study of hidradenitis suppurativa pathogenesis, epidemiology, classification, scoring systems, radiologic diagnosis, treatment approaches and psychologic assessment. Two special sessions this year were HS as a systemic disease and HS management guidelines. There were focused workshops on wound healing and ultrasound. There were two sessions primarily for patients and their families in the HS School programme: One workshop focused on mindfulness, and the second involved discussion among clinicians and patients about various disease aspects and the latest management. To facilitate networking between clinical and research experts and those early in their career, a mentoring breakfast was held.

Overview of Advanced Functional Groups
Functional groups are groups of atoms with specific chemical properties that occur within organic molecules and are sometimes denoted as “R”. Functional groups can “functionalize” a compound by enabling it to adopt different physical and chemical properties.
