It will focus on the latest provoking topics and research in the field of Neonatology and Pediatrics. Neonatology 2019 provides a platform to all experts to put forth their research studies and experiments before a large number of individuals who have a keen interest in the field of Neonatology. The series of talks, poster presentations, workshops, discussions will keep participants hooked to the event and increase their interest in learning at Neonatology 2019.

 

Session 1: Neonatology

Neonatology is a branch that is involved in the care, development and the diseases of the new-born babies. The primary patients of neonatologists are the new born babies who are sick or require care due to low birth weight and other problems. More than 40% of deaths in children occur in their neonatal state that is in the first month of their life. Classification of a child's life into well-defined periods has become an important standardization to determine the care and interventions necessary to increase the chances of child survival. Immunization of pregnant women has proven beneficial to both mother and infant by decreasing morbidity and mortality.

Session 2: Pediatrics

Pediatrics focuses on the well-being of children from conception through adolescence. Pediatricians are doctors who manage the health of a child, including physical behaviour and mental health issues. They diagnose and treat childhood illnesses, from minor health problems to serious issues. Post-marketing safety reviews are particularly important for pediatrics. Drug use in the pediatric population is continuously rising due to improved diagnostics and therapies. The number of births in the United States increased by 1% between 2013 and 2014, to a total of 3,988,076.

Session 3: Neonatal Care

The first 28 days of life are said to be neonatal. Neonatal care is the care given to infants (new-born babies) from the time of their delivery through about the neonatal stage of their life. Deaths among the children are more and more concentrated in the first days of life. This leads to focus on infants care even more. In 2016, an estimated 2.6 million children died in their first month of life, which means that approximately 7,000 infants died every day. Most of these infants died in their first week of life in which approximately one million died in their first day and another one million died in the following six days. But, major progress has been made in improving neonatal survival. Neonatal mortality has declined all around the world as the world’s neonatal mortality rate has fallen from 37 deaths per 1,000 live births in 1990 to 19 per 1,000 live births in 2016. The result is a drop in neonatal deaths worldwide from 5.1 million in 1990 to 2.6 million in 2016.

Session 4: Pediatric and Neonatal Nutrition

Neonatal nutrition has an important role to play in normal child development and is necessary for sick or premature infants. Goals for nutrition support in infants include obtaining body composition similar to age-matched children and maximizing long-term growth and neurodevelopment. The World Health Organization (WHO), the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and Institute of Medicine recommended the exclusive use of human milk for healthy term infants for the first six months of life, and continued breastfeeding for at least 12 months. The public health goal for healthy people 2020 is for 82% of the mothers to initiate breastfeeding.

Session 5: Developmental Disorders

Around 10% children are said to suffer from developmental disorder.  Whether a child has a developmental delay or disorder, early identification and treatment are essential for achieving the best possible outcome. In a study conducted by Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) among 120,000 children, it was found that developmental disabilities are common (about 1 in 6 children) and the number of such children increased to about 17.1% over the last 12 years.

Session 6: Pediatric Infections

Infants can acquire some infections that can deteriorate their health and can lead to many problems. New born babies sometimes develop infections caused by a wide range of viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic infectious agents. The probability of dying among children aged 5–14 was 7.5 deaths per 1,000 children aged 5 in 2016 – substantially lower than the probability of dying among children under age 5 (41 deaths per 1,000 live births).

Session 7: Adolescent Problems

Adolescence is the phase between 10 to 20 years in which children undergo rapid changes in body size, physiology, psychological and social functioning. This is the period when individuals attain full maturity. Worldwide 10-20% of children and adolescents experience mental disorder. About 1.3 million adolescents died from preventable or treatable causes during 2012 as per WHO reports.  Injuries and neuropsychiatric disorders were the major issues in adolescents. There is an increasing trend in adolescent obesity due to great shift in diet and activity pattern. Nearly 35% of the global burden of disease has roots in adolescence. Half of all mental health disorders in adulthood start by 14 years of age.

Session 8: Pediatric Cardiology & Pediatric Nursing

Pediatric cardiology is concerned with diseases of the heart of growing and developing individual. The doctors who diagnose and treat children with heart problems are known as pediatric cardiologists. Congenital heart defects affects nearly 1% or nearly about 40,000 births per year in the United States. About 25% babies with a congenital heart defect have a critical heart defect and those infants generally need surgery or other procedures in the first year of their life. In a study of neonatal deaths, it was found that 4.2% of all neonatal deaths were due to a congenital heart defect.

Session 9: Neonatal Respiratory Disorders

Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is a condition generally seen in premature infants. The condition makes it hard for the baby to breathe. It generally occurs in infants whose lungs are not fully developed. The more premature the baby is, the higher is the chance of RDS after birth. In 2003, the total number of live births in the United States for all races was 4,089,950; about 0.6% of new-borns had RDS. In 2005, there were 4,138,000 live births in the United States, and comparatively more number of babies were affected with RDS because the rate of premature births had increased from 11.6% to 12.7%.

Session 10: Genetics and Pediatric Practice

The individuals or families can be informed about the present and future possible genetic disorders and the various options available for prevention from such a disorder and minimising its adverse effects. Family health history collection and genetic testing are the main elements for the successful translation of genomics into primary care practice. As the majority of genetic disorders are diagnosed at birth or during the first years of life, including genetics has become an important element of pediatric education.

Session 11: Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)

New born babies who need intensive medical care are generally admitted to neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). It has advanced technology and trained health care professionals to provide required special care for the infants. No woman wants her baby to die in the NICU, but every year 10-15% of babies born in the United States die due to reasons including prematurity, heart problems, birth defects, breathing irregularities and infections.

Session 12: Psychosocial Aspects of Pediatrics

The optimal care of children with surgical diseases requires acquiring skills in the psychosocial assessment and therapy of children. Developing and implementing a curriculum to teach these concepts to pediatric surgery trainees should result in decreased perioperative stress for the child and improved patient outcomes and family satisfaction. Mental and physical health has a great impact on one another. Increased physical symptoms can have a negative effect on the child's mental health. Physical illnesses can affect the child’s happiness and how they feel about themselves. When children are distressed and sad then it becomes harder to control their illness.

Pediatrics & Neonatology is a branch dealing with all clinical care of infants and children. Infants and kids are different from adults in respect to the general physiology of having a smaller and growing body. Congenital defects and genetic variance are of great concern to pediatricians and neonatologists than to an adult physician. Issues revolving around infectious diseases and immunizations are also dealt with by pediatricians.

There has been an increase in the number of non-physician pediatric clinicians in recent years and an expansion in their respective scopes of practice. This raises critical public policy and child health advocacy concerns. Pediatric practice encompasses the care of patients from birth through adolescence. One way to define the scope of pediatric practice is to look at the risks to health and development that affect children and adolescents. Health supervision and attention to both acute and chronic illness should be provided to all children as they mature.

The first 28 days of life – the neonatal period – is the most vulnerable time for a child’s survival. Children face the highest risk of dying in their first month of life at an average global rate of 18 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2017. Comparatively, the probability of dying after the first month but before reaching age 1 was 12 and after age 1 but before age 5 was 10. Globally, 2.5 million children died in the first month of life in 2017 alone – approximately 7,000 neonatal deaths every day – most of which occurred in the first week, with about 1 million dying on the first day and close to 1 million dying within the next si     

Neonatal mortality declined globally and in all regions but more slowly than mortality among children aged 1–11 months or 1-4 years in most cases. Globally, the neonatal mortality rate fell by 51 per cent from 37 deaths per 1,000 live births in 1990 to 18 in 2017, a smaller reduction in mortality than among children aged 1-59 months (63 per cent). With the exception of the high-income countries, neonatal mortality has fallen more quickly since 2000 than in the period 1990-2000—global neonatal morality has declined by 3.1 per cent annually since 2000 compared to 1.8 per cent annually from 1990 to 2000. Likewise, the decline in neonatal mortality was slower than the decline in post-neonatal mortality (age 1-11 months) and among children aged 1-4 years for both the 1990-2000 and 2000-2017 periods.

Why EUROPE?

 In 19th century, the survival of children was appreciably lower in Southern and Eastern Europe as compared to most countries to the North: for instance, in Italy the probability of dying before the 5th birthday, immediately after national unification (1862-63) was well over 40% and it was just as high in Spain. In the same period it was hardly above 20% in Norway and Sweden, around 25% in England, and 30% in France (Vallin, 1991; Ramiro & Sanz, 2000a ; 2000b).In Germany, in 1991, mortality at very low birth weights was higher in the east than in the west.At  the end of the 19th and more particularly in the first decades of the 20th century that infant mortality became and was perceived to be a severe social problem.Premature delivery and low birth weight have been consistently  affects the children.
