Scientific Sessions
Track-1: GeneralEndocrinology
Endocrinology is a branch of biology and medicine dealing with the endocrine system, its diseases and its specific secretions known as hormones, growth promotion and malignancy. Behavioural endocrinology. Behavioral endocrinology is the study of hormonal processes and neuroendocrine systems that influence or regulate behavior. Analytical approaches include studies of natural variation among individuals within populations of a single species, sex differences, differences among species and experimental manipulations of either the endocrine system or behavior itself. G-Protein coupled receptors also known as seven-transmembrane domain receptors, 7TM receptors, heptahelical receptors, serpentine receptor, and G proteinlinked receptors (GPLR). Pediatric endocrinology is a medical subspecialty dealing with variations of physical growth and sexual development in childhood, as well as diabetes and other disorders of the endocrine glands.
According to recent statistics report, nearly 26 million adults apart from young and old aged people are suffering from Diabetes and millions of others are at increased risk. Being one of the major fields of Internal Medicine, endocrinal research received a funding of more than 2.03 billion dollars annually across the globe. Nearly $560 million is being funded on Endocrinal diseases alone per year. Targeted Audience are Diagnostics manufacturers, Healthcare companies, Entrepreneurs, Research Scholars, Academic Scientists, Healthcare Innovators, Physicians, Diabeticians, Endocrinologists , Clinical Researchers, Policymakers and Regulators, Surgeons, Academic Researchers
There are about 1500 Universities all over the world who are doing research on Endocrinology. As per the statistics there are more than 60 Hospitals, 35 Associations/societies, 30 companies and 15 universities are functioning in the fields of Endocrinology in Atlanta and in USA there exists more than 4973 Hospitals, 70 Associations/societies, 1600 companies, 800 universities are functioning in the fields of Endocrinology.
Track-2:Diabetic Disorders and Treatment
Type 1 diabetes is a chronic illness characterized by the bodys inability to produce insulin due to the autoimmune destruction of the beta cells in the pancreas. Most pediatric patients with diabetes have type 1 and a lifetime dependence on exogenous insulin. Gestational diabetes affects the mother in late pregnancy, after the baby's body has been formed, but while the baby is busy growing. Dietary management, physical activity and prevention strategies for diabetes should be taken care to overcome diabetes. Hypoglycemia is a condition characterized by abnormally low blood glucose (blood sugar) levels. Hypoglycemia, if left untreated it leads to a seizure or unconsciousness.
Track-3:Neuro Endocrinology
Neuroendocrine cancer is a malignant tumour that starts in neuroendocrine cells. Neuroendocrine tumors most commonly occur in the intestine, where they are often called carcinoma tumors. Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors form in hormone-making cells (islet cells) of the pancreas. They may or may not cause signs or symptoms. Neuroendocrine small cell cancer accounts for approximately 15% of bronchogenic carcinomas.
Track-4: Challenges of Endocrinology
Osteoporosisis a disease where decreased bone strength increases the risk of a broken bone. It is caused due to vitamin D deficiency , aging, being female, low body weight, low sex hormones or menopause, smoking, and some medications. Rickets is defective mineralization or calcification of bones before epiphyseal closure in immature mammals due to deficiency or impaired metabolism of vitamin D. Rickets management can be done by gradual administration of months or in a single-day dose of 15,000 mcg (600,000 U) of vitamin D. Growth hormone (GH) deficiency is a disorder that involves the pituitary gland (a small gland located at the base of the brain), which produces growth hormone and other hormones. Growth hormone deficiency can be treated by injecting growth hormone intramuscularly and hormone replacement
Track-5: Current Advances inEndocrinology
Multiple pituitary hormone deficiency is a condition that causes a shortage (deficiency) of several hormones produced by the pituitary gland, which is located at the base of the brain. A lack of these hormones may affect the development of many parts of the body. Endocrine disorders in hemoglobinopathies can be treated by replacement of particular hormone deficiency and improvement of nutritional status; the goals of hormone replacement therapy for patients with sickle cell disease are to achieve normal levels of circulating hormones, restore normal physiology, and to avoid symptoms of deficiency with minimal side effects. Islet cell transplantation is the transplantation of isolated islets from a donor pancreas and into another person. It is an experimental treatment for type 1 diabetes mellitus. Once transplanted, the islets begin to produce insulin, actively regulating the level of glucose in the blood. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) are any of several autosomal recessive diseases resulting from mutations of genes for enzymes mediating the biochemical steps of production of cortisol from cholesterol by the adrenal glands.
Track-6:Thyroid Gland and its Disorders
Graves' diseaseis an immune system disorder that results in the overproduction of thyroid hormones (hyperthyroidism). Thyroid hormones metabolism is regulated by protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism, affecting how human cells use energetic compounds. Iodine uptake against a concentration gradient is mediated by a sodium-iodine symporter and is linked to a sodium-potassium ATPase.
Track-7:Reproductive Endocrinologyand Infertility
Male infertility refers to a male's inability to cause pregnancy in a fertile female. In humans it accounts for 40-50% of infertility. It affects approximately 7% of all men. Male infertility is commonly due to deficiencies in the semen, and semen quality is used as a surrogate measure of male fecundity. Pelvic inflammatory disease, commonly called PID, is an infection of the female reproductive organs. PID is one of the most serious complications of a sexually transmitted disease in women: It can lead to irreversible damage to the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, or other parts of the female reproductive system, and is the primary preventable cause of infertility in women. Polycystic ovary syndrome is a problem in which a woman's hormones are out of balance. It can cause problems with your periods and make it difficult to get pregnant.
Track-8:Energy Balanceand Obesity
Obesity has always existed in human populations, but until very recently was comparatively rare. The availability of abundant, energy-rich processed foods in the last few decades has, however, resulted in a sharp rise in the prevalence of obesity in westernized countries. Food intake (eating) is a form of behavior that is subject to conscious control. In practice, many obese and weight-gaining individuals claim that their eating is out of (their) control. Mechanistic models describe the interplay of biological and environmental forces that food intake control. Adipocytes, also known as lipocytes and fat cells, are the cells that primarily compose adipose tissue, specialized in storing energy as fat. Adipocytes function is to synthesize estrogens from androgens, potentially being the reason why being underweight or overweight are risk factors for infertility.[18] Additionally, adipocytes are responsible for the production of the hormone leptin. Leptin is important in regulation of appetite and acts as a satiety factor.
Track-9: Treatment and Diagnosis ofEndocrine Diseases
Cushing's syndrome, also known as hypercortisolism, Itsenko-Cushing syndrome, and hyperadrenocorticism, is a collection of signs and symptoms due to prolonged exposure to cortisol. Signs and symptoms may include: high blood pressure, abdominal obesity but with thin arms and legs, reddish stretch marks, a round red face, a fat lump between the shoulders, weak muscles, weak bones, acne, and fragile skin that heals poorly. Most cases can be treated and cured. If due to medications, these can often be slowly stopped. If caused by a tumor, it may be treated by a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation. Pheochromocytoma is a neuroendocrine tumor of the medulla of the adrenal glands (originating in the chromaffin cells), or extra-adrenal chromaffin tissue that failed to involute after birth. Addisons disease (also Addison disease, chronic adrenal insufficiency, hypocortisolism, and hypoadrenalism) is a rare, chronic endocrine system disorder in which the adrenal glands do not produce sufficient steroid hormones (glucocorticoids and often mineralocorticoids). It is characterised by a number of relatively nonspecific symptoms, such as abdominal pain and weakness, but under certain circumstances, these may progress to Addisonian crisis, a severe illness which may include very low blood pressure and coma.
Prostate cancer- Treatment and prevention involves hormone therapy, chemo, and vaccines may help with the cancer spread overall. Often, though, other treatments that target cancer spread to the bones are also needed. Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions increased blood pressure, a high blood sugar level, excess body fat around the waist and abnormal cholesterol levels that occur together, increasing your risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes. Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that may interfere with the bodys endocrine system and produce adverse developmental, reproductive, neurological, and immune effects in both humans and wildlife. A wide range of substances, both natural and man-made, are thought to cause endocrine disruption, including pharmaceuticals, dioxin and dioxin-like compounds, polychlorinated biphenyls, DDT and other pesticides, and plasticizers such as bisphenol A
Track-10:Endocrine Surgery
Bariatric surgery is an operation on the stomach and/or intestines that helps patients with extreme obesity to lose weight. Thissurgeryis an option for people who cannot lose weight by other means or who suffer from serious health problems related to obesity.
Metabolic surgery refers to a group of procedures that involve either reduction or bypassing sections of the stomach and small intestine, and are commonly used as a treatment for obesity.
Cardiovascular surgery is surgery on the heart or great vessels performed by cardiac surgeons. Frequently, it is done to treat complications of ischemic heart disease (for example, coronary artery bypass grafting), correct congenital heart disease, or treat valvular heart disease from various causes including endocarditis, rheumatic heart disease and atherosclerosis. It also includes heart transplantation.

Target Audience:
Scope and Importance of Endocrinology
Endocrinology Conference deals with the Endocrinology which is a branch of science dealing with the endocrine glands. Endocrinology includes the study of hormones, the endocrine system, and their role in the physiology of the body. Endocrinology is a specialty of medicine which deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases related to hormones. Endocrinology deals with the human functions as the coordination of metabolism, respiration, reproduction, sensory perception, and movement. Themedical specialty ofendocrinologyinvolves the diagnostic evaluation of a wide variety of symptoms and variations and the long-term management of disorders of deficiency or excess of one or morehormones. The diagnosis and treatment of endocrine diseases are guided by laboratory tests to a greater extent than for most specialties. Many diseases are investigated through ''excitation/stimulation'' or ''inhibition/suppression'' testing. This might involve injection with a stimulating agent to test the function of an endocrine organ. Blood is then sampled to assess the changes of the relevant hormones ormetabolites. An endocrinologist needs extensive knowledge of clinical chemistry and biochemistry to understand the uses and limitations of the investigations. Diagnostic imaging of endocrine organs may reveal incidental findings called incidentalomas, which may or may not represent disease.Some of the most common endocrine diseases includediabetes mellitus,hypothyroidismand themetabolic syndrome.Care of diabetes,obesityand other chronic diseases necessitates understanding the patient at the personal and social level as well as the molecular, and the physicianpatient relationship can be an important therapeutic process. Apart from treating patients, many endocrinologists are involved in clinical science and medical research, teaching, and hospital management.
Conference series puts together the entire eminent endocrinologist across the globe to share their knowledge and views on the respective conference theme.

Novartis AGs Signifor won U.S. regulatory approval to treat the rare hormone condition known as Cushings disease IN 2012. About 2 or 3 people for every 1 million will develop non-medicine related Cushings each year in the U.S., according to the National Institutes of Health.
Based on diagnostic technologies, the tandem mass spectrometry diagnostic technique was the largest segment of the global endocrine testing market. The report also names immunoassays and sensor technologies as rapidly growing segments of the global endocrine testing market. The report also cites findings published by Elsevier, Inc., which examine the geriatric population above 65, of which 13.7% have subclinical hypothyroidism and 1.7% have hypothyroidism. Owing to the increasing number of diabetics all over the world, the global endocrine testing market's fastest growing testing segment is set to be the insulin test. The ambulatory care centers segment is set to show the fastest growth rate within the report's forecast period. Top reasons for this segment's growth are a speedier response rate and lower costs than the ones a patient would otherwise incur. The home-based tests segment is also showing promising development opportunities and is predicted to gain a greater market share in the near future. On the other hand, commercial laboratories will continue to gain momentum in terms of revenue generation and consequently invest more in further research. The report also cites information released by the World Health Organization (WHO), in which the WHO states its prediction of diabetes becoming the seventh leading cause of death in the world by 2030. Nearly 80% deaths related to diabetes occur in middle-to-low-income homes, as the disease is exacerbated by poor management.
