6th International Conference on Pediatrics and Neonatology

Pediatric and Neonatal Neurology includes the treatment of neurological diseases that occur in newborn, infants, children and adolescents. It involves the treatment of children with a wide variety of disorders, from seizures and acquired brain injury to prenatally diagnosed brain malformations, Intellectual disability, Congenital malformations, which are problems in how the brain forms or develops, Stroke and traumatic brain injury (TBI), Genetic conditions that affects the nervous system, Autoimmune problems that affect the brain and spinal cord (such as multiple sclerosis), Infections or inflammation of the brain (such as meningitis or encephalitis), Brain tumors. Child neurologists gives treatment for children from birth into young adulthood.

Pediatric endocrinology is a medical subspecialty dealing with disorders of the endocrine glands, such as variations of physical growth and sexual development in childhood, diabetes including type 1 and type 2, adrenal gland disorders, adrenoleukodystrophy, bone and mineral disorders, childhood obesity, growth disorders, lipid disorders, multiple endocrine neoplasia, type 1 (MEN 1) and type 2 (MEN 2), pituitary disorders, puberty disorders, thyroid disorders, including thyroid cancer. Endocrine disease in the neonate is uncommon, but may be life threatening or have profound long-term consequences if not quickly recognized and treated. These disorders can have severe implications on the development of the CNS if not promptly treated and prevented.

Digestive, liver, and nutritional problems in children often are quite different from those seen in adults. Pediatric gastroenterologists are especially trained to carry out diagnostic tests of a child’s digestive system. They have wide-ranging expertise in managing nutritional complications in children, including placement and management of feeding tubes and intravenous nutrition and diagnosing and treating infants, children, and teens with liver disease which includes Bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract, Complicated or severe gastro esophageal reflux disease (reflux or GERD), Liver disease, Short bowel syndrome, Acute or chronic abdominal pain, Chronic constipation, Vomiting, Nutritional problems (including malnutrition, obesity, and failure to thrive), Feeding disorders, Food allergies or intolerances, Inflammatory bowel disease, Severe or chronic diarrhea, Pancreatic insufficiency (including cystic fibrosis) and pancreatitis.

Adolescent medicine is the care of people in and around their teen years, up to 20 years of age. Adolescent health specializes in caring for young people 10 to 21 years of age seeking help with eating disorders, biofeedback for chronic headaches and abdominal pain, pediatric and adolescent gynecology, gender diverse care, and reproductive and sexual health. Medicine is often classified most simply as pediatric and adult, with the pediatric category covering from early stages through both childhood and adolescence.

Vision is considered to be the most valuable of the basic senses among everyone. Vision loss may have tremendous consequences for the quality of life of a child. Newborn babies can be affected by a large number of congenital and acquired eye disorders. Timely referral, diagnosis, and management are critical to allow optimal visual development. The critical period of visual development is in the first 6 months after birth in neonates. Pediatric ophthalmologists can diagnose, treat, and manage all children’s eye problem. They perform surgery, microsurgery, and laser surgery (for problems like weak eye muscles, crossed eyes, wandering eyes, blocked tear ducts, retinal problems, and infections), Diagnose visual processing disorders, Diagnose problems of the eye caused by diseases of the body such as diabetes or juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) and other medical and neurological diseases, Care for eye injuries.

Pediatric Otolaryngology is a subspecialty of pediatrics and ENT medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of ear, nose, throat, head, and neck disorders in infants, children, and adolescents. It addresses conditions such as hearing loss, recurrent ear infections, airway disorders, tonsil and adenoid diseases, speech and swallowing problems, and congenital anomalies, with care tailored to the unique needs of growing children.

For children with cancer and other life-limiting illnesses, palliative care is a central component of care in resource-limited environments. Palliative care focuses on providing relief from the symptoms and stress of the illness. Severe medical issues, including genetic abnormalities, cancer, prematurity, developmental disorders, heart and lung conditions and others, are treated through pediatric palliative care. Symptoms of these conditions, such as pain, shortness of breath, exhaustion, constipation, nausea, lack of appetite and sleeping problems, anxiety and depression, are relieved. Palliative care goals for curing and healing and become instrumental for improving the quality of life.

Every newborn infant deserves a healthy start in life. The neonatal period, which lasts for the first 28 days, is crucial. Fundamental health and eating behaviors are established during this time. 

Pediatric and Neonatal pulmonologists specialize in treating children with breathing problems. Common conditions include asthma, pneumonia, wheezing, bronchitis. It provides diagnosis and comprehensive care for the full range of lung and respiratory disorders including chronic lung disease, cystic fibrosis, chronic cough, respiratory insufficiency, and sleep disorders. Some of the treatment and diagnosis includes CT Scan, Ultrasound, Pulmonary function test, Bronchoscopy, Thoracentesis, Chest fluoroscopy, and Pleural biopsy.

Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics comprises the cure of infants and toddlers from birth through 3 years old who are at risk for developmental delays or behavioral problems due to prematurity or other medical problems that caused in hospitalization in a neonatal intensive care unit. The professionals can help diagnose complex issues, including ADHD and others like delayed development in speech, language or motor skills or other social skills issues, mental health issues like anxiety, Autism, performance issues in school, learning differences like dyslexia, developmental and behavior evaluation of children with genetic disorders, school problems. Care coordinated by the Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics clinic usually includes treatment planning, behavioral medication management and endorsements for further assessment or additional therapeutic strategies.

Clinical Case Studies in Pediatrics provides a compilation of often recognized sorts of pediatric situations that need hospital admission by simulating genuine morning report diagnosis sessions experienced by hospital clinicians. Each case study begins with a description of the reason for admission to the hospital, followed by a differential , discussion of the differential diagnosis, and finally an in-depth explanation of the actual diagnosis.
