About Conference

The World Congress on Diabetes and Endocrinology, scheduled to take place in Vancouver, Canada on October 16–17, 2023, is a prestigious event that Conference Series has the great pleasure in inviting individuals from all over the world to attend. The goal of this conference is to bring together delegates from around the world, well-known researchers, students, and company owners to actively participate in talks and activities around diabetes and endocrinology.

Diabetes is a chronic condition marked by inadequate insulin synthesis or inefficient insulin uptake by the body. A hormone called insulin controls blood sugar levels. Metabolic disorders such as diabetes and pre-diabetes, along with factors like abdominal obesity, high cholesterol, and hypertension, pose significant risks for heart attacks. In 2021, 10.5% of adults aged 18 years and older were affected by diabetes. Furthermore, diabetes directly caused 1.6 million deaths in 2021, while high blood glucose contributed to an additional 2.2 million deaths in 2021. Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a persistent condition where arterial blood pressure remains consistently elevated. Hypertension often coexists with type 2 diabetes, although the exact relationship between the two conditions is not fully understood. It is believed that factors such as obesity, high-fat and high-sodium diets, and physical inactivity contribute to the development of both conditions.

The World Congress on Diabetes and Endocrinology welcomes a diverse range of participants, including scientists, doctors, academicians, researchers, students, and business entrepreneurs.

Track 2: Endocrinology Glands and Hormones   

The endocrine system consists of several glands that produce hormones to regulate various bodily functions.

These glands include:

• Hypothalamus: Located in the brain, it serves as a connection between the nervous and endocrine systems.
• Pineal Gland: A small, pinecone-shaped gland in the brain that produces melatonin.
• Pituitary Gland: Situated at the base of the brain, it is closely linked to the hypothalamus.
• Thyroid Gland: Shaped like a butterfly, it is one of the largest endocrine glands and is located in the front of the neck, just below the Adam's apple.
• Parathyroid Glands: These small glands, located near the thyroid gland, regulate calcium levels in the blood.
• Thymus: An organ of the immune system that plays a role in the development of T-lymphocytes, important cells of the adaptive immune system.
• Adrenal Glands: Small, triangular glands located on top of the kidneys, consisting of the adrenal cortex and adrenal medulla.
• Pancreas: An organ in the digestive and endocrine systems, producing hormones such as insulin, glucagon, somatostatin, and pancreatic polypeptide.
• Ovaries: Reproductive organs in females that produce eggs (ova) and female hormones.
• Testes: Male reproductive organs that produce sperm cells and male hormones, primarily testosterone.

The endocrine system also involves various hormones that play essential roles in the body:

• Luteinizing Hormone: Produced by the pituitary gland, it regulates the function of the reproductive organs, stimulating ovulation in females.
• Prolactin: Another pituitary hormone, it stimulates milk production in the breasts and is involved in lactation.
• Oxytocin: A pituitary hormone that triggers uterine muscle contractions during labor and facilitates the release of more oxytocin.
• Glucagon: This hormone, released by the pancreas, increases blood sugar levels and helps maintain proper glucose levels.
• Reproductive Hormones: These hormones control the reproductive development in both males and females.
• Female Reproductive Hormones: Estrogen, primarily produced in the ovaries, influences the development of female reproductive organs and regulates the menstrual cycle. Progesterone prepares the uterus for pregnancy.
• Male Reproductive Hormones: Testosterone, produced in the testicles, is involved in the production of sperm cells and the development of male reproductive organs.
• Epinephrine: Also known as adrenaline, it is a hormone that prepares the body to deal with danger or stress, working alongside the nervous system. It increases heart rate and respiration.
• Insulin: Produced by the pancreas, insulin reduces blood sugar levels by facilitating the uptake of glucose by cells.

In summary, the endocrine system consists of various glands and hormones that play crucial roles in regulating bodily functions, reproduction, metabolism, and response to stress or danger.

Track 3: Endocrine and Diabetes Disorders

Endocrine disorders occur when an organ produces an excess or insufficient amount of an endocrine hormone, resulting in hormone imbalances. These disorders can arise from developmental abnormalities or conditions that affect hormone levels within the endocrine system.

Some examples of endocrine disorders include:

• Adrenal insufficiency: The adrenal gland produces insufficient cortisol and sometimes aldosterone. Symptoms may include fatigue, digestive issues, dehydration, and changes in the skin.
• Cushing's disease: Overproduction of a hormone from the pituitary gland leads to an overactive adrenal gland. Similarly, Cushing's syndrome can occur in individuals, particularly children, who take high doses of corticosteroid medications.
• Acromegaly and other growth hormone disorders: Excessive production of growth hormone by the pituitary gland can cause abnormal growth of bones and body parts in children. Insufficient growth hormone levels can result in stunted height.
• Hyperthyroidism: The thyroid gland produces an excess amount of thyroid hormone, leading to weight loss, rapid heartbeat, sweating, and anxiety. The most common cause of hyperthyroidism is an autoimmune disorder called Grave's disease.
• Hypothyroidism: The thyroid gland fails to produce enough thyroid hormone, resulting in fatigue, constipation, dry skin, and depression. In children, an underactive thyroid can cause delayed growth and development.
• Hypopituitarism: The pituitary gland produces little to no hormones due to various diseases. Women with this condition may experience cessation of menstrual periods.
• Multiple endocrines neoplastic: These rare genetic conditions are inherited and cause tumors in the parathyroid, adrenal, and thyroid glands, leading to excessive hormone production.
• Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): Overproduction of androgens disrupts egg development and release from the ovaries in females. PCOS is a major cause of infertility.
• Precocious puberty: Abnormally early onset of puberty occurs when glands signal the body to release sex hormones prematurely in life.

The endocrine system plays a crucial role in influencing heart rate, reproductive functions, growth of bones and tissues, and other vital processes. Each gland within the endocrine system releases specific hormones into the bloodstream, which travel to target cells and help regulate various body functions. Additionally, advancements in insulin medication, technologies, treatment methods, and potential side effects are relevant in managing endocrine disorders.

Track 4: Pediatric Endocrinology

Pediatric endocrinology deals with disorders of the endocrine glands in children, including variations in physical growth and sexual development during adolescence, diabetes, and more. The most common condition in this field is type-1 diabetes, which typically comprises a significant portion of a pediatric endocrinologist's clinical practice. Another common focus is growth disorders, particularly those that can be addressed with growth hormone therapy.

Pediatric endocrinologists play a key role in the medical care of infants and children with intersex disorders. The specialty also addresses hypoglycemia, various forms of hyperglycemia in childhood, variations in puberty, as well as adrenal, thyroid, and pituitary disorders. Many pediatric endocrinologists have specialized interests and expertise in areas such as bone metabolism, lipid metabolism, adolescent gynecology, or inborn errors of metabolism.

Track 5: Molecular & Cellular Endocrinology

This track revolves around understanding the synthesis and secretion of extracellular molecules (hormones, neurotransmitters) and the cellular regulatory mechanisms involved in hormonal control. It encompasses the study of hormone-regulated gene expression, genetic and biochemical effects, and their impact on cellular processes.

Track 6: Pituitary and Neuroendocrinology

The brain plays a critical role in controlling hormonal activity through its interaction with the endocrine system. The pituitary gland initiates and regulates the production of hormones. Approximately 40% of individuals suffer from sexual dysfunction, and endocrinology societies have reported an increasing prevalence of central diabetes insipidus (CDI) in both children and older adults.

Track 7: Clinical Endocrinology

Clinical endocrinology focuses on the study of the endocrine system, its functions, and its disorders or abnormalities as they relate to patient care. The endocrine system includes organs that release hormones, such as the testicles, ovaries, pancreas, pituitary gland, and thyroid gland. This track encompasses the diagnosis, management, and treatment of endocrine-related conditions.

Track 8: Endocrinology: Male & Female Reproductive Health

Reproductive endocrinology is a subspecialty of Obstetrics and Gynecology that addresses hormonal function and its indirect relationship to reproduction. Reproductive endocrinologists evaluate and treat disorders in both females and males, not limited to infertility. They receive specialized training in obstetrics and gynecology before pursuing further training in reproductive endocrinology and infertility.

Female Endocrinology:

Female endocrinology primarily focuses on the reproductive cycle driven by estrogen and other female hormones. Some of the related issues that an endocrinologist may evaluate and provide care for include:

• Early or delayed onset of menstruation
• Menstrual abnormalities
• Heavy, light, or absent menstrual periods
• Premenstrual syndrome
• Conditions such as ovarian cysts or uterine fibroids that may cause symptoms linked to the menstrual cycle
• Per menopause and menopause
• Endocrine-related symptoms like depression, fatigue, or decreased libido

Male Endocrinology:

In cases where the testicles produce abnormally low levels of testosterone, testosterone replacement therapy may be employed. While some men may not experience obvious effects from lower-than-normal testosterone levels, others may face various impacts, such as:

• Reduced sexual function in terms of desire, erections, and fertility
• Insomnia or other sleep issues
• Decreased muscle size and strength, increased body fat, and lower bone density
• Emotional changes including reduced confidence and motivation, lower mood, and difficulties with concentration and memory.

Track 9: Types of Diabetes and its Complications:

Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood glucose levels. It is classified into different types, each with distinct causes, symptoms, and management strategies. Complications arising from diabetes can impact various organ systems. This article provides a concise overview of diabetes types and associated complications.

Type 1 Diabetes:

Type 1 diabetes, also known as insulin-dependent diabetes, typically develops in childhood or early adulthood. It results from the immune system attacking and destroying insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Complications of type 1 diabetes include diabetic ketoacidosis, hypoglycemia, retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy, and cardiovascular disease.

Type 2 Diabetes:

Type 2 diabetes, the most common form, usually develops in adulthood. It is characterized by insulin resistance and relative insulin deficiency. Risk factors include genetic predisposition, obesity, inactivity, unhealthy diet, and certain medical conditions. Complications of type 2 diabetes encompass cardiovascular disease, retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy, peripheral artery disease, and increased susceptibility to infections.

Gestational Diabetes:

Gestational diabetes occurs during pregnancy and typically resolves after delivery. It results from hormonal changes causing insulin resistance. Although symptoms may be absent, complications include increased risks during pregnancy and delivery, as well as potential future development of type 2 diabetes for both mother and child.

Complications of Diabetes:

Diabetes can lead to cardiovascular complications such as heart disease and stroke, eye complications like diabetic retinopathy, nerve complications including peripheral neuropathy, kidney complications leading to nephropathy, and foot complications like ulcers and infections. Other complications involve skin conditions, dental problems, hearing impairment, and mental health disorders.

Diabetes encompasses various types, each with its own characteristics and complications. Managing diabetes through early diagnosis, medical care, a healthy lifestyle, and regular monitoring of blood sugar levels is crucial to reduce the risk of complications.
