The document discusses gender as a social determinant of health and the implications for Australian women's health policy. It notes that recent health policies have recognized gender as the main social determinant responsible for health inequities worldwide. However, it argues that there is a politics associated with gender as a social determinant that can both help and hinder advancing feminist health interests and projects. It maintains that enduring structural gender inequality and male dominance continue to impact women's health by limiting their access to resources and participation in decision making, and through embodied experiences of conditions arising from this inequality. For progress to be made, feminist health projects need to navigate the local politics surrounding gender as a social determinant of health.

This document discusses conscientious objection in Victorian abortion law. It outlines how the Abortion Law Reform Act of 2008 aimed to align abortion laws with clinical practice by outlining circumstances for legal abortion and the obligations of health practitioners with moral objections to abortion. The act requires those practitioners to inform women of their objection and refer them to another provider. There was significant controversy during debate over this section from those arguing it infringed on religious freedom. The document examines the rights of women to information to make decisions and access healthcare compared to practitioners' objections.

Tobacco companies historically targeted women as a new market by exploiting gender stereotypes, portraying smoking as glamorous. They examined women's life stages and demographics without challenging gender norms. Public health campaigns have responded with regulations like advertising bans and raising prices. Moving forward, public health should take a gender transformative approach that empowers women, supports positive role models, and is sensitive to the unique stressors affecting women's ability to quit smoking. Resources from Women's Health Victoria provide guidance on gender-sensitive tobacco control strategies.

This document describes a study examining the psychosocial aspects of fertility and motherhood for women diagnosed with breast cancer during their reproductive years. The study involved interviews with two cohorts of women - one diagnosed in 1994-1999 (historical) and one in 2009 (contemporary). The interviews explored participants' experiences of diagnosis, fertility desires, children, relationships, and health. Preliminary results found diverse needs and experiences regarding fertility. While fertility was an important matter for many, limited fertility preservation occurred. Discussions of fertility also seemed to differ between the historical and contemporary cohorts. The study aims to better understand the psychosocial needs of this group of women to enhance supportive care regarding fertility, sexual health, and reproduction after a breast cancer diagnosis.

This document discusses objectification of women and its negative impacts. Objectification occurs when a woman is viewed as the sum of her body parts rather than a whole person. This can lead to shame, anxiety, low self-esteem and increased health risks for women. Exposure to objectifying images also makes people more accepting of harmful attitudes. The document outlines efforts to address objectification through reviews of advertising codes and classification schemes to better reflect community standards and protect women from exploitation and degradation.

Tobacco companies historically targeted women as a new market by exploiting gender stereotypes, portraying smoking as glamorous. They examined women's life stages and demographics without challenging gender norms. Public health campaigns have responded with regulations like advertising bans and raising prices. Moving forward, public health can take a gender transformative approach that empowers women, supports positive role models, and addresses stressors undermining smoking cessation through affordable, effective, and sensitive treatments and approaches.

This document summarizes a study that evaluated the effectiveness of an intervention to address intimate partner violence in primary care. The intervention consisted of screening women for intimate partner violence, notifying and training general practitioners (GPs) to respond, and inviting screened women for brief counseling with their GP. The study found that the intervention led to a decrease in depressive symptoms for women and increased safety discussions between GPs and women about themselves and their children. However, the intervention did not significantly improve women's quality of life. The study provides preliminary evidence that screening and training GPs can help address intimate partner violence in primary care, though the training requires resources and uptake of counseling was low.

The document discusses issues around rural women's access to sexual and reproductive health services. It notes that anecdotal evidence suggests rural women have difficulty accessing these services due to issues of availability, travel requirements, privacy, and cost of services. Data from surveys of rural women found that the top barriers to accessing contraception, emergency contraception, pregnancy counseling, and abortion were availability of services, travel requirements, and privacy concerns. The document recommends focusing on improving access to information, privacy, availability of local services, client choice, out-of-hours services, referral pathways, and confidential practices like access to female doctors.

This document discusses universal health care (UHC) and the importance of considering gender as a social determinant of health. It notes that UHC is a key topic in global health discussions and aims to achieve equity, but gender has received uneven attention. It presents a framework that shows how gendered social and structural determinants can lead to differential exposures, vulnerabilities, and health outcomes. For UHC to be equitable, pathways to achieving it must address whose health problems are prioritized and how they are addressed in a gender-sensitive way. Location and timing of services, access, accountability, and non-discrimination are important to engender the healthcare system. Engagement in post-2015 discussions is important to link sexual and reproductive health activists

1.6.3 a prof juliet richters
The document summarizes findings from two large Australian population studies on health and relationships. The studies collected data on sexual practices, pleasure, and satisfaction from over 19,000 participants. Key findings included that women were less likely than men to orgasm during sex, especially intercourse-only sex. Women were more likely to orgasm with manual or oral sex. Men reported more partners, masturbation, pornography use, and infidelity. The studies found no evidence that men only want sex while women only want relationships. Critics argue that some evolutionary theories of sex focus too much on male reproduction and ignore factors like child survival and nurturing.
1.6.2 prof jane ussher
1. A survey of over 2,000 women with breast cancer found that 88% reported negative changes to their sexual wellbeing, including decreased feelings of desirability, intimacy, sexual arousal and pleasure.
2. Factors like tiredness, vaginal dryness, hot flushes and feeling unattractive were found to affect sexual wellbeing in over 50% of respondents. Cancer also disrupted sexuality for 78% of intimate partners surveyed.
3. Renegotiating sexuality involved redefining sex beyond penetration, exploring non-coital practices, embracing intimacy, and open communication between partners. Couples found success by focusing on closeness rather than performance.

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s Perspective
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

Cancer remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, prompting the need for innovative treatment methods. Nanotechnology offers promising new approaches, including the use of gold nanoparticles (nanogold) for targeted cancer therapy. Nanogold particles possess unique physical and chemical properties that make them suitable for drug delivery, imaging, and photothermal therapy.

Editor's Notes
- This is just a quick overview of the organisation I represent, the members of the Climate and Health Alliance, which was formed in August 2010. Members include the Australian Physiotherapy Association, Public Health Association of Australia, the Australian Psychological Society, the Australian Women’s Health Network, the Australian Nursing Federation, the Royal Australasian College of Physicians, Australian Association of Social Workers, and the Australian Hospitals and Healthcare Association to name a few.
- So any healthcare setting can join the Network – if they commit to at least two of the ten goals. They commit to annually reporting their progress and they have access to tools and resources for implementation of the Agenda in their institution or setting. There is an opportunity to post case studies to the virtual network, participate in an online forum and an awards program. The virtual community that is currently being developed promises to be an extremely exciting and innovative online space with a social media platform that looks like it will be Facebook, Google docs and Gotomeeting combined! This will offer real time information sharing and collaboration in a format that will be extremely user friendly and provide a great support and a rich resource for those implementing sustainability initiatives as part of the GGHH Network.
