22^nd World Congress on Advances in Gastroenterology and Urology August 17-18, 2020 Tokyo, Japan

Track 1: Fundamentals & Advancements in Gastroenterology

Gastroenterology is the field of drugs devoted specifically to treatment for the gastrointestinal system. The alimentary canal may be a tube-like structure which extends from the mouth to the anus. Histologically the gut comprises of four main layers: the mucosa, which comprises epithelial cells (enterocytes, endocrine cells and others), the lamina propria and the muscular is mucosae; the submucosal; two muscle layers, an inner thick circular layer and an outer thin longitudinal layer; and a serosal layer.

Track 2: Gastrointestinal Disorders and Symptoms

Gastrointestinal disorders include conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, haemorrhoids, anal fissures, anal fistulas, perianal abscesses, perianal infections, diverticular diseases, colitis, colon polyps and cancer. Many of these can be prevented or minimized by, practicing good bowel habits, maintaining healthy lifestyle and submitting to cancer screening.

Track 3: Gastroenteritis

Gastroenteritis, commonly referred to as the stomach flu, include the combination of diarrhoea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Fever, lack of energy, and dehydration may also occur. This typically lasts less than two weeks. Depending on the cause, viral gastroenteritis symptoms may appear within one to three days after you're infected and can range from mild to severe Gastroenteritis can be due to infections by viruses, bacteria, parasites, and fungus.

Track 4: Treatment Advances in Digestive Disorders

The major cause of peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer is Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). No signs and symptoms are found with H. pylori infection in most of the people. Diagnosis can be done using blood test, breath test, stool test, scope test. Proton pump inhibitors, Histamine (H-2) blockers, Bismuth subsalicylate are used for the treatment.

Track 5: Gastric cancer

Gastric cancer is one of the most common human cancer types. In overall, cancer initiates when an error (mutation) occurs in a cell's DNA. The mutation grounds the cell to raise and split at a rapid rate and to continue living when a normal cell would die. The accumulating cancerous cells form a tumour that can invade nearby structures. And cancer cells can breakdown off from the tumour to feast throughout the body.

Track 6: Inherited GI cancer syndromes

Gastrointestinal disease is one of the real reasons for death around the world. Inherited gastrointestinal malignancy disorders comprise around 5-10% everything being equal. Around 20-25% of undiscovered cases have a conceivable genetic segment, which isn't yet settled. Over the most recent couple of decades, the development in genomics has prompted the revelation of various malignant growth inclination qualities in gastrointestinal disease.

Track 7: Treatment Advances in GI Cancers

Gastrointestinal tumours are a gathering of profoundly forceful malignancies, and novel restorative methodologies with higher clinical viability are by and large effectively looked for. 'Immunotherapy' is currently developing as one such encouraging procedure for the treatment of these tumours. This article quickly audits the ongoing advances that use focusing of resistant checkpoint pathways, in the administration of gastrointestinal malignancies.

Track 8: Innovative Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Treatment

GERD today is ordinarily treated with drugs, for example, histamine receptor opponents (H2 blockers), - Pepcid, Tagamet and Zantac - and with proton siphon inhibitors (PPIs) - Nexium, Prilosec and Protonic. Shockingly, these drugs can lose their viability after some time. More significantly, they don't treat the fundamental main drivers of indigestion.

Track 9: Liver Function & Liver Health

The liver is body’s largest internal organ on the right-hand side of the belly. Liver is an essential organ that has many functions in the human body and including making proteins and blood clotting factors, manufacturing triglycerides and cholesterol, glycogen synthesis and bile production. The liver also filters the blood coming from the digestive tract and detoxifies the chemicals and metabolizes the vitamins, proteins, fats, carbohydrates and drugs and it secrets the bile that ends up back in the intestine.

• Blood detoxification and Purification
• Bile production and Excretion
• Metabolism of Fats, Proteins and Carbohydrates
• Synthesis of Plasma Proteins

Track 10: Hepatitis and its Types

An inflammatory condition of the liver is Hepatitis. It’s commonly caused by a viral infection; there are other possible causes of hepatitis. These include auto immune hepatitis that occurs as a secondary result of medications, drugs, toxins, and alcohol. When your body makes antibodies against your liver tissue Autoimmune hepatitis occurs. Viral infections of the liver that are classified include hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E.

Track 11: Effect of Supplements in Gastro and Hepato Disorders

A huge measure of information from research was distributed over the previous decades concerning the jobs of various nutrients in different gastrointestinal ailments. For example, most nutrients demonstrated an opposite association with the danger of colorectal carcinoma just as different malignancies like gastric and oesophageal disease in observational preliminaries, anyway interventional preliminaries neglected to demonstrate a reasonable gainful preventive job. Then again, increasingly strong proof was gotten from excellent investigations for a job of specific nutrients in explicit elements

Track 12: Pancreatic disease

The pancreas is a large gland behind the stomach and next to the small intestine which produces juices that help break down food and hormones and help control blood sugar levels. The pancreas does two main things:

• It releases powerful digestive enzymes into the small intestine to aid the digestion of food.
• It releases the hormones insulin and glucagon into the bloodstream. These hormones help the body control how it uses food for energy.

Track 13: Pancreatic cancer

It starts when cells in the pancreas start to grow out of control. Pancreatic cancer initiates when abnormal cells in the pancreas grow and divide out of mechanism and form a tumour. Organs, similar the pancreas, are made up of cells. Usually, cells split to form new cells as the body desires them. When cells get old, they die, and new cells take their place. Cancers that cultivate within the pancreas fall into two chief categories:

• Cancers of the endocrine pancreas are called "islet cell" or "pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours or PNETs"
• Cancers of the exocrine pancreas (the part that makes enzymes)

Track 14: Hepato-Pancreatic-Biliary Infectious Diseases

Hepato-pancreato-biliary disease refers to any condition that affects the liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and the bile ducts. These diseases commonly share some tell-tale signs or symptoms, such as jaundice, darker urine colour, and lighter stool colour. While some have genetic or hereditary causes, most are due to chronic damage to the tissues of the organs involved. These conditions are treated and managed by hepatologists, hepato-pancreato-biliary oncologists, and transplant specialists. There are several treatment options available for patients suffering from any liver, pancreatic, or biliary disease.

Track 15: Urology

Urology is a part of health care that deals with diseases of the male and female urinary tract (kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra). It also deals with the male organs that can make babies (penis, testes, scrotum, prostate, etc.) The scope of urology is big, and the American Urological Association has named seven subspecialty parts:

• Pediatric Urology (children's urology)
• Urologic Oncology (urologic cancers)
• Renal (kidney) Transplant
• Male Infertility
• Calculi (urinary tract stones)
• Female Urology
• Neuro-urology (nervous system control of genitourinary organs

Track 16: Urinary Tract Infection

A urinary tract infection naturally occurs when bacteria pass in the urinary tract through the urethra and initiate to growth in the bladder. Although the urinary system is designed to keep out such microscopic interlopers, these defences sometimes fail. When that occurs, bacteria may take hold and grow into a full-blown infection in the urinary tract. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are very predominantly in women, babies and older people. Around one in two women and one in 20 men will get a UTI in their lifetime.

Track 17: Urinary Retention

This session is devoted to discussing a condition of the bladder, because of which one is unable to start urination, or if started is unable to completely empty the bladder. Urinary retention is more common in men than women. Treatment differs for acute and chronic urinary retention. Some of the most common causes of non-obstructive urinary retention are: Stroke, Vaginal childbirth, Pelvic injury or trauma, impaired muscle or nerve function due to medication or anaesthesia, accidents that injure the brain or spinal cord. Obstructive retention may result from: Cancer, Kidney or bladder stones, Enlarged prostate (BPH) in men.

Track 18: Urinary Tract Imaging

A kidney stone or a tumour may block urine flow and cause pain. Under such times, urinary tract imaging helps the doctors to diagnose the disease. Here we are to discuss the imaging of the two kidneys, two ureters, a bladder, and a urethra which comprises of the Urinary Tract. Interstitial cystitis (IC) may be treated with lifestyle changes, bladder training, physical therapy, medicines, bladder hydro distension, bladder instillation, surgery, or a combination of these treatments

Track 19: Urology Robotic Surgery

The urologists bid minimally invasive robotic-assisted surgery for several urological diseases including prostate cancer, kidney obstruction, and bladder reconstruction. Robotic-assisted surgery provides parallel benefits in children with a short period of time and improved therapies. Robotic surgery enables urological surgeons to perform more precise operation than conventional surgery.

Track 20: Kidney Stones

Excessive minerals accumulate to form stones in the inner lining of the Kidney which are known as Kidney stones. They usually consist of calcium oxalate but may be composed of several other compounds. Kidney stones can grow to the size of a golf ball while maintaining a sharp, crystalline structure. The stones may be small and pass unnoticed through the urinary tract, but they can also cause extreme pain as they leave the body. Kidney stones are very commonly found in Americans. Minimally invasive treatments are found effective for Kidney stones. All the factors can be discussed in this session.

Track 21: Kidney Cancer

Kidney cancer is a disease that starts in the kidneys. Renal cell cancer (renal cell carcinoma or RCC) is a disease that occurs when certain kidney cells become malignant or cancerous and grow out of control, forming a tumour in one or both kidneys. The renal cancer cells may spread to other areas of the body. The incidence of urinary organ cancer appears to be increasing. Smoking and misuse of certain analgesics will influence the danger of nephritic cell cancer or nephritic pathological process. Signs of renal cell cancer seize blood within the faces and lump within the abdomen.

Track 22: Kidney Transplantation

Kidney transplantation may be a surgery to put a healthy urinary organ from a living donor into someone whose kidneys now not perform properly. A urinary organ transplant is normally the treatment of renal disorder. A urinary organ transplant will treat chronic malady or renal disorder or End-stage urinary organ disease to assist you are feeling higher and live longer.  Kidney transplantation is a procedure that places a healthy kidney from another person into your body. This one new kidney takes over the work of your two failed kidneys. Kidney transplantation or renal transplantation is the organ transplant of a kidney into a patient with end-stage renal disease.

Track 23: Dialysis and Renal Care

Renal dialysis is a procedure that is a supernumerary for many normal functions of the kidney. Dialysis consents people with kidney failure a chance to live productive lives. There are primarily two types of dialysis: Haemodialysis and Peritoneal dialysis. Haemodialysis is the process of purification of the blood of a person whose kidneys does not function properly. Peritoneal dialysis customs the lining of the abdomen (peritoneum) and a cleaning solution (dialysate) used to clean blood.

Track 24: Renal Health & Cure

Renal health is essential for the human body to function properly. Removal of wastes from the body is done by the renal system, without which other body functions get affected. Treatment options vary, depending on the cause. But kidney damage can continue to worsen even when an underlying condition, such as high blood pressure, has been controlled. Treatments may include: Medications to High blood pressure, lower cholesterol levels, treat anaemia etc. Treatment for end-stage kidney disease includes Dialysis and Kidney transplantation.

Track 25: Female infertility

Female infertility refers to infertility in women and it occurs when a woman is unable to conceive after 12 months of regular, unprotected sexual intercourse. A menstrual cycle that's too long (35 days or more), too short (less than 21 days), irregular or absent can mean that female lack ovulating. Some causes of infertility in women are treatable; for those that are not, assisted conception, surrogacy or adoption could be considered as alternative ways to start a family.

Track 26: Male Reproductive Cancers and Infertility

Reproductive cancers in men can be found in the penis, testicles, and prostate gland and it causes risk to the male population.

Track 28: Prostate Cancer

A slow progressing form of cancer in men is the Prostate cancer. It is when a tumour develops in the Prostate gland of men. With most causes unknown, Prostate cancer risk increases with age and family history of Prostate cancer. Prostate cancer that's more advanced may cause signs and symptoms such as: Trouble urinating, decreased force in the stream of urine, Blood in semen, Discomfort in the pelvic area, Bone pain, Erectile dysfunction etc. The PSA blood test checks the amount of prostate-specific antigen that’s in your blood. If the levels are high, this could mean you have prostate cancer.

Track 29: Surgical treatment of intermediate risk prostate cancer

Surgery involves the removal of the prostate and some surrounding healthy tissue during an operation. The type of surgery depends on the stage of the disease, the man’s overall health, and other factors. Surgical options include: Radical (open) prostatectomy, Robotic or laparoscopic prostatectomy and bilateral orchiectomy. Radiation therapy is the use of high-energy rays to destroy cancer cells. A doctor who specializes in giving radiation therapy to treat cancer is called a radiation oncologist. External-beam radiation therapy, Brachytherapy, Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and Proton therapy are also used to destroy the cancer cells by the insertion of radioactive implants directly into the tissue.
