Sessions &Tracks

Track 1: Gastroenterology
Gastroenterology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the digestive system and its disorders. This medical specialty deals with the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, which includes the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, rectum, pancreas, gallbladder, bile ducts, and liver.

Gastroenterologists are physicians who specialize in this field and are trained to diagnose and manage a wide range of GI conditions, from common issues like acid reflux and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) to more complex diseases such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, liver cirrhosis,

Track 2: Hepatology
Hepatology is the medical specialty focused on the study, diagnosis, and treatment of liver diseases and disorders. Hepatologists, specialists in this field, address a wide range of conditions affecting the liver, including hepatitis (both viral and non-viral), liver cirrhosis, fatty liver disease, liver cancer, and autoimmune liver diseases. They employ various diagnostic tools such as blood tests, imaging studies, and liver biopsies to assess liver function and identify underlying issues. Treatment may involve lifestyle changes, medications, or in advanced cases, liver transplantation. Hepatologists play a crucial role in managing liver health and preventing complications associated with liver diseases.

Track 3: Hepatitis
Hepatitis refers to inflammation of the liver, often caused by viral infections (hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E), excessive alcohol consumption, or autoimmune diseases. Symptoms can vary but may include fatigue, jaundice, abdominal pain, and nausea. Hepatitis can be acute or chronic, with chronic cases potentially leading to liver cirrhosis or cancer. Diagnosis typically involves blood tests to detect viral markers or liver enzyme levels. Treatment varies depending on the type and severity of hepatitis, ranging from supportive care to antiviral medications or, in advanced cases, liver transplantation.

Track 12: Celiac Diseases
Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder triggered by the ingestion of gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. When individuals with celiac disease consume gluten, their immune system responds by attacking the lining of the small intestine, leading to inflammation and damage to the villi—tiny, finger-like projections responsible for nutrient absorption. This damage can result in various gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhoea, abdominal pain, bloating, and malabsorption of nutrients, leading to deficiencies and other complications.
Relevant Associations & Societies: Gastroenterological Society of Australia, Indian Society of Gastroenterology, Philippine Society of Gastroenterology.

Track 13: Paediatric Gastroenterology
Paediatric gastroenterology specializes in diagnosing and treating gastrointestinal disorders in children, from infancy through adolescence. Common conditions addressed include Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), celiac disease, food allergies, constipation, diarrhoea, liver disease, and pancreatitis. Because children's digestive systems are still developing, they may experience unique challenges and manifestations of these disorders. Paediatric gastroenterologists undergo specialized training to understand these intricacies, offering tailored care for each child. Treatment often involves collaboration with paediatricians, nutritionists, and other specialists to ensure comprehensive care. Advances in diagnostic techniques and treatment modalities continue to improve outcomes for paediatric patients with gastrointestinal conditions.
Relevant Associations & Societies: American Gastroenterological Association, Canadian Association of Gastroenterology, North Carolina Society of Gastroenterology.

Track 14: Gastrointestinal Endoscopy and Surgery
Gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy is a medical procedure used to diagnose and treat disorders of the digestive tract. Endoscopy can detect abnormalities such as ulcers, inflammation, polyps, and tumours, as well as perform therapeutic interventions like biopsies, removal of polyps, dilation of strictures, and control of bleeding. Preoperative evaluation, careful surgical planning, and postoperative management are integral parts of ensuring successful outcomes in GI surgery.
Relevant Associations & Societies: Gastroenterological Society of Australia, Gastroenterological Association of Thailand (GAT), Philippine Society of Gastroenterology.

Track 15: Gastrointestinal Pharmacotherapy
Gastrointestinal pharmacotherapy refers to the use of medications to treat disorders of the digestive system. These medications _target various aspects of gastrointestinal health, including acid production, motility, inflammation, and infection. Common medications include proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and H2 receptor antagonists to reduce stomach acid production and treat conditions like Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and peptic ulcers. Medication management should always be supervised by a healthcare professional to ensure safety and efficacy.
