Pediatric Gastroenterology is a division of pediatrics and gastroenterology. In the United States, one out of five children has severe abdominal pain. Forty percent of children are significantly overweight or obese, and ten percent suffer from a failure to thrive. Pediatric urology is the study of urologic disorders in children, such as cryptorchidism, enuresis, congenital abnormalities of the genitourinary tract, underdeveloped and vesicoureteral reflux.
- Track 1-1Hypospadias and urolithiasis
- Track 1-2Bladder control problems- Bedwetting and daytime urinary incontinence
- Track 1-3Male female genital reconstruction
Gastrointestinal tract imaging uses a form of real-time x-ray called fluoroscopy and a barium-based contrast material to produce images of the esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine and other parts of digestive system. It is safe, noninvasive and is used to help diagnose pain, acid reflux, blood in the stool and other symptoms.
- Track 9-1Trans abdominal ultrasound on gastrointestinal tract imaging
- Track 9-2Endoscopic ultrasound in upper gastrointestinal tract imaging
Advancement in the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases have been remarkable in the recent years. Investigation is going on new diagnostic procedures and novel therapeutic strategies for gastresophageal reflux disease (GERD), pancreatico-biliary and post-surgical problems, Barrett’s esophagus, neuroendocrine tumors and gastrointestinal stromal tumors. In Japan, gastric cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death.
- Track 10-1Short bowel syndrome and intestinal failure
- Track 10-2Helicobacter pylori in clinical practice
- Track 10-3Gastroesophageal reflux disease and Barrett
- Track 10-4Gastrointestinal disease treatment
- Track 10-5Inflammatory bowel disease includes crohn
- Track 10-6Biomagnetic method to assess gastrointestinal disorders
- Track 10-7Advances in Gastrointestinal Hepatology
Urologic oncology is the study and surgical treatment of malignant genitourinary diseases such as prostate cancer, adrenal glands cancer, bladder cancer, kidney cancer, ureter cancer, testicular cancer, and penile cancer. The treatment of genitourinary cancer is managed using minimally invasive techniques such as laparoscopy or endourology and robotic-assisted surgery.
- Track 11-1Prostate cancer complications and advances in medical treatment
- Track 11-2Renal cell cancer
- Track 11-3Urothelial cancer of the bladder and upper tract
- Track 11-4Testicular cancer and penile cancer
Neurourology is the study of nervous system control on the genitourinary system and conditions such as abnormal urination. Neurological diseases and disorders can interrupt the urinary tract and result in urinary incontinence and urinary retention. Urodynamic studies play an important role in diagnosing neurourology.
Endourology is a division of urology that deals with the closed manipulation of the urinary tract. It is conducted using instruments and small cameras and inserted into the urinary tract. Endourology is a minimally invasive technique used for treating kidney stones. Endourological procedures include Urethroscopy, Cystoscopy, Ureteroscopy and Nephroscopy.
- Track 13-1Minimally invasive surgery - Flexible ureterorenoscopy
- Track 13-2Robotic and advanced laparoscopic urologic surgery
- Track 13-3Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) and Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL)
- Track 13-4Ureteropyeloscopy and laser lithotripsy
Digestion of food is the crucial function of the gastrointestinal tract. Many gastrointestinal diseases have nutritional effects. The role will be on the liver in regulating the availability of carbohydrates, lipids and essential substrates to peripheral tissues. The clinical features and specific effects of malnutrition on the gastrointestinal tract and liver will be discussed along with diet therapy in gastrointestinal disease.
- Track 14-1Dietary treatment of gastrointestinal diseases
- Track 14-2Prebiotics, probiotics, and dietary fiber in gastrointestinal disease
- Track 14-3Food allergies
The immune reaction of the gastrointestinal tract to the external stimulus or the failure to respond is an important aspect of the function of gastrointestinal tract system. The area of gastrointestinal disorders is currently having development in terms of research. Scientific progress in the area of gut immune system and the immune abnormalities includes the latest developments in organ transplantation of the liver and gut, HIV infection of the gut, and the recently discovered disease H. pylori gastritis.
- Track 15-1Overview of gut immunology
- Track 15-2Gastrointestinal microbiota and its role in health and disease
- Track 15-3Intestinal Surgery
Liver is required for many important functions in the body. It helps in food digestion, store energy and remove poisons. If liver becomes diseased or injured, the loss of those functions can cause significant damage to the body. There are different forms of liver disease that affect men, women and children. These diseases include cirrhosis, alcohol abuse, hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and (hemochromatosis).
- Track 16-1Alcoholic liver disease and fatty liver disease
- Track 16-2Hepatitis C-state of the art treatment and emerging drugs
- Track 16-3Hepatitis B-natural history and treatment
- Track 16-4Hepatocellular carcinoma
- Track 16-5Liver transplantation
Digestive system can be disrupted by diet, disease and stress. This can be remedied with lifestyle changes, medicine or a surgery using minimally invasive techniques like laparoscopic. Laparoscope is a fiber-optic device transmits images from within the body to a video monitor when inserted in the abdominal wall.
- Track 17-1GI endoscopy and video capsule endoscopy
- Track 17-2GI surgery for severe obesity- Bariatric surgery and its complications
- Track 17-3Sphincter sparing surgery for colorectal cancer
- Track 17-4Screening and therapeutic colonoscopy
- Track 17-5Complex gastrointestinal surgery and its risk factors
- Track 17-6Clinical Gastroenterology
Gastrointestinal cancer includes stomach cancer, esophageal cancer, colon cancer, gallbladder cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, anal cancer, rectal cancer and transitional cell carcinoma. The most commonly used screening is colonoscopy, which helps in identifying and removing polyps in the colon and rectum. Patients can be treated with interventional endoscopy, radiation, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, gastrointestinal cancer with surgery, targeted therapies or a combination of these.
