Track 5: Chronic Respiratory Diseases

Chronic respiratory diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and chronic bronchitis, are long-term conditions that impair breathing and lung function. These diseases are often characterized by persistent cough, breathlessness, and wheezing. COPD, typically caused by smoking or long-term exposure to pollutants, leads to progressive lung damage. Asthma involves inflammation and narrowing of the airways, often triggered by allergens or irritants. Managing these conditions usually involves medication, lifestyle modifications, and avoiding triggers to improve quality of life and prevent exacerbations.

Track 6: Obesity and Pregnancy: Risks & Management

Obesity during pregnancy poses significant risks to both mother and baby, including gestational diabetes, hypertension, and preeclampsia. It can also lead to complications such as preterm birth, larger infants, and difficulties during delivery. Effective management involves a multidisciplinary approach that includes nutritional counselling, regular physical activity, and monitoring by healthcare professionals. Tailored weight management strategies and early intervention are crucial to mitigate risks and promote a healthy pregnancy. Addressing obesity through lifestyle changes before and during pregnancy can improve outcomes and support both maternal and fetal health, ultimately leading to safer delivery and better long-term health for both mother and child.

Track 7: Diabetes and metabolic diseases

Diabetes and metabolic diseases are interconnected conditions that significantly impact overall health. Diabetes, particularly type 2, is characterized by impaired insulin production or resistance, leading to high blood sugar levels. This chronic condition often results from and exacerbates metabolic diseases, such as metabolic syndrome, which includes high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, and abdominal obesity. Both diabetes and metabolic disorders increase the risk of serious complications, including cardiovascular disease, stroke, and kidney failure. Managing these conditions involves a comprehensive approach, including lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet and regular exercise, along with medication to regulate blood sugar levels and improve metabolic health.

Track 8: Obesity and Cancer

Obesity is a risk factor for various types of cancer, including breast, colorectal, endometrial, and pancreatic cancers. Excess body fat leads to chronic inflammation, hormonal imbalances, and insulin resistance, all of which can contribute to cancer development. Adipose tissue produces excess estrogen, which is linked to breast and endometrial cancers, while high insulin levels and chronic inflammation are associated with colorectal and pancreatic cancers. Preventive measures include maintaining a healthy weight through a balanced diet and regular physical activity. Addressing obesity is crucial in cancer prevention, as it can significantly reduce the risk and improve overall health outcomes.

• Endometrial cancer
• Esophageal adenocarcinoma
• Gastric cardia cancer

Track 9: Obesity and Eating Disorder

Obesity and eating disorders are interconnected health issues. Obesity often results from overeating and poor dietary choices, leading to excessive body fat. In contrast, eating disorders like binge eating disorder (BED) involve consuming large amounts of food in a short period, often without control. Both conditions can stem from psychological factors such as stress, depression, or anxiety. Addressing these issues requires a comprehensive approach, including nutritional counseling, behavioral therapy, and medical interventions. Early intervention and support are crucial for effective management and improving overall health outcomes.

Here are some of the eating disorders:

• Bulimia nervosa
• Binge eating disorder
• Pica
• Anorexia nervosa
• Rumination disorder
• Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder

Track 10: Bariatric Surgery

Bariatric surgery is a medical procedure designed to assist in significant weight loss for individuals with severe obesity. Common types include gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and adjustable gastric banding. These surgeries alter the digestive system to limit food intake or nutrient absorption, leading to substantial weight reduction. Bariatric surgery can improve or resolve obesity-related health conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea. It requires a commitment to lifestyle changes, including diet and exercise, and ongoing medical follow-up. While effective, it carries risks and potential complications, making thorough evaluation and patient education essential before proceeding. There are numerous weight-loss techniques accessible.

• Sleeve gastrectomy
• Duodenal jejunal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy
• Duodenal switch.
• Revisional surgery
• Laparoscopic adjustable gastric bandin
