named women's health issues core management research in women's health at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), autoimmune is the main cause of more than 100 serious, chronic diseases. It is aimed at women, 75 percent of the time. The term "autoimmune disease" refers to a diverse group of diseases that are associated with almost every human organ systems. It includes diseases of the nervous, gastrointestinal and endocrine systems as well as skin and other connective tissues, eyes, blood and blood vessels. In all these diseases, the main problem is similar - the immune system is wrong and attacking the very organs it was designed to protect. The fact that women increases the immune system in comparison with men, women increases the resistance to many types of infections, but also makes them more susceptible to autoimmune diseases. Taken together, autoimmune diseases strike women three times more than men. Some diseases have a higher frequency in women. In fact, the 50 million Americans living with autoimmune diseases, 30 million people are women, according to some estimates say. Autoimmune diseases have been named in the top ten leading causes of death among American women aged 65 and under. In addition, these diseases are the fourth leading cause of disability among women in the United States. Different ethnic groups are more susceptible to certain autoimmune diseases. In lupus, for example, African-American, Hispanic, Asian and American Indian women are two to three times more likely to develop disease than Caucasian women. And 9 out of 10 people suffering from lupus are women. Autoimmune: A new category of diseases like cancer, which is the general category of a number of diseases (. Leukemia, breast cancer, prostate cancer, lymphoma non-Hodgkin's, etc.), autoimmune still not covered by the medical community (and people) in a category illness. Because these diseases cross the different medical specialties such as rheumatology, endocrinology, hematology, neurology, cardiology, gastroenterology, dermatology and, therefore, that these specialties tend to focus on specific diseases within their specific category there is almost no general account as autoimmune causes. It is estimated that autoimmune diseases cost $ 86 billion a year. Autoimmune and women is new research on the horizon? There is a strong need for greater cooperation and cross-fertilization of basic autoimmune research. The study, which focuses on the etiology of all autoimmune diseases, and not particularly autoimmune disease will lead us to the root causes of these diseases, not surface-level treatment of symptoms of the disease after it was devastating. Currently there is very little attention to basic autoimmune research, even if one in five Americans has an autoimmune disease associated with. On the positive side, while the basic research behind were some interesting developments in the study, which focused on new treatments for autoimmune diseases. In fact, several therapeutic approaches within the Phase III clinical trials. In most cases, treatment therapy of autoimmune diseases remains virtually unchanged over the past two decades, with minor changes. New therapies such as TNF inhibitors, show prospects for some autoimmune diseases, which come in various clinical specialties, such as rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatic autoimmune disease, Crohn's disease, gastrointestinal autoimmune diseases and psoriasis, dermatological autoimmune diseases. The role of autoimmune diseases of the Association of autoimmune diseases association recognizes the need for closer cooperation in research with autoimmune diseases and the need for more basic research in autoimmune as the main causes of these diseases.
