Using women's health research to develop women leaders in academic health sciences: the National Centers of Excellence in Women's Health.
While the number of women entering U.S. medical schools has risen substantially in the past 25 years, the number of women in leadership positions in academic medicine is disproportionately small. The traditional pathway to academic leadership is through research. Women's health research is an ideal venue to fill the pipeline with talented women physicians and scientists who may become academic leaders in positions where they can promote positive change in women's health as well as mentor other women. The Office on Women's Health (OWH) in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has contracted with 18 academic medical centers to develop National Centers of Excellence in Women's Health. Emphasizing the integral link between women's health and women leaders, each of the Centers of Excellence must develop a leadership plan for women in academic medicine as part of the contract requirements. This paper describes the training programs in women's health research that have developed at five of the academic medical centers: the University of Wisconsin, Magee Women's Hospital, the University of Maryland, Medical College of Pennsylvania Hahnemann University, and the University of Illinois at Chicago. We discuss some of the challenges faced for both initiation and future viability of these programs as well as criteria by which these programs will be evaluated for success.

Flow decreases myogenic reactivity of mesenteric arteries from pregnant rats.
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether pregnancy alters the response of small mesenteric arteries to increased pressure (myogenic reactivity) and flow. METHODS: Mesenteric arteries (300 microns) from cycling nonpregnant (NP, n = 6) and late pregnant (20 days, LP, n = 6) Sprague-Dawley rats were dissected and mounted on an arteriograph system designed for the precise measurement of pressure and flow. Myogenic reactivity was measured as the percentage constriction after a pressure increase to 75 mmHg in the absence and presence of flow (60 microL/minute). RESULTS: In the absence of flow, there was no difference in myogenic reactivity in arteries from NP versus LP animals (NP, 8.4 +/- 1.4%; LP, 11.0 +/- 1.6%; not significant). In the presence of flow, myogenic reactivity was decreased in arteries from LP rats, but was unchanged in arteries from NP rats (NP, 13.2 +/- 1.1%; LP, 2.5 +/- 2.9%; P < .05). The differential group effect appeared to result not from differences in arterial response to changes in pressure or flow alone, but rather from the interaction between pressure and flow. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that pregnancy alters the interaction of the physical forces of pressure and flow on the arterial wall in a manner consistent with decreased vascular resistance.
