The PreMed symposium is dedicated to presenting the potential contribution of laboratory medicine to preventive medicine and to the prediction of diseases. At the 2008 PreMed meeting, innovative research approaches, new technologies for laboratory medicine, late-breaking news for molecular medicine and new approaches for disease screening were presented by top scientists.
To reflect on the global state of research in preventive medicine and laboratory medicine, but also constraints such as reliability and cost-effectiveness of preventive and predictive measures, which include genomics and pharmacogenomics, new technologies for personalized medicine, management of cardiovascular diseases and biomarkers of dementia and preeclampsia.
The article presents an overview of some of the hot topics discussed at the PreMed 2008 meeting and recapitulates some lectures focused on new trends and current status of prevention and prediction of the diseases.
This article represents an opportunity for those who did not attend the meeting to highlight challenges related to preventive medicine.
预防医学研讨会致力于展示检验医学对预防医学及疾病预测的潜在贡献。在2008年预防医学会议上，顶尖科学家们介绍了创新的研究方法、检验医学的新技术、分子医学的最新消息以及疾病筛查的新方法。
反思预防医学和检验医学的全球研究状况，以及预防和预测措施（包括基因组学和药物基因组学、个性化医疗新技术、心血管疾病管理以及痴呆症和先兆子痫的生物标志物）的可靠性和成本效益等限制因素。
本文概述了2008年预防医学会议上讨论的一些热门话题，并概括了一些聚焦于疾病预防和预测新趋势及现状的讲座。
本文为未参会者提供了一个机会，以突出与预防医学相关的挑战。
