We are delighted to invite you to attend the 12^th World Pediatric Congress scheduled to take place in Abu Dhabi on December 13-15, 2018. The theme of the conference is “Elucidating the challenges in Neonatology and Pediatrics”. It is a great pleasure for us to welcome all the pediatric surgeons, paediatricians, researchers, students and delegates to take part in this upcoming congress to network, share views and knowledge through interactive keynote, poster and B2B discussions in the field of paediatrics. This conference provides an excellent opportunity to discuss the latest developments and challenges within the field.

Pediatrics is the branch of medicine associated with the development, medical care, and diseases of neonates, infants, children and adolescents from birth till adolescence. The aim of pediatrics is to reduce infant and child deaths rate, control the spread of infectious diseases, promote active lifestyles for a long disease-free life and help simplify  the problems of children and adolescents with chronic conditions.

WPC 2018 provides three days of robust discussions on methods and strategies related to diagnosis, prevention and management of pediatric diseases as well as explore new ideas and concepts on a global scale and the topics include adolescent physiology, behavioural disorder, child abuse and prevention, neonatology, pediatric auto-immune disorders, pediatric cardiology,  pediatric dentistry, pediatric dermatology, pediatric gastroenterology, pediatric nephrology and urology, pediatric neurology, pediatric nursing, pediatric oncology, pediatric surgery, and perinatology.

This congress will provide you an excellent platform to update your insight and investigate the advancements in Pediatrics. We cordially welcome you to Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, and we are sure you will have fruitful and memorable experience in science and tourism.

Track 01: Adolescent Psychology

Adolescence or the teenage is the transitional stage from childhood to adulthood, where the changes affects and confuses the child since they feel both a sense of disorientation and discovery. It is in this stage that a child is weakest mentally and emotionally and needs independence as well as a strong support since the issues they deal with in their day-to-day lives are sensitive. Identity issues, friendship, romantic interests, career, schoolwork, sexuality, social life, adventure, familial issues, sibling rivalry are some of the issues faced by teens everywhere. These issues need to be addressed timely as they tend to increase in importance during the transition into adulthood.

Proper addressing of these psychosocial, neurodevelopmental changes and emotional changes help in increasing cognitive and intellectual capacities including stronger reasoning skills, logical and moral and abstract thinking.

Behavioral Disorders include issues in child’s learning and behavior during development stages. These are the ultimate reasons for which parents are often suggested to take their kids for various mental health assessments and treatment as these disorders, if neglected in childhood, then can adversely affect a person’s ability to grip a job and sustain in a relationships.  There are two main types of behavioural disorders, such as: oppositional defiant disorder and conduct disorder. Behavioral disorders can be caused by biological, environmental, social, and psychological factors. Behavioral disorders are common which generally occurs in about 16% to 24% children and youth, from pre-schooler to teens. In children, it lasts for about 6 months and cause problems in schools, at home and other social situations.

It can result serious injury to the child, both physically and mentally and can possibly cause death. Child safety is one of the most crucial matters that need to be addressed in any social setting for physiological well- being and justice system. Mishandling a Child is more than wounds and broken bones, since it scars them for life. By finding out about general precursors of abuse and what we would be able to do intervene, we can have an enormous effect in a child’s life. Children’s lives are shaped by their experiences including what happens in their environment (such as homes, schools and neighbourhoods) and the type of relationships they have with parents, teachers, and other caretakers. Close and trusted relationships with aseptic environments are necessary to avoid negative experiences and are also necessary to assure the long-term physical and emotional well-being of children.

Track 04: Neonatology

Neonatology is a subspecialty of pediatrics that involves the medical care of new-born babies, who are sick or require special medical care as a result of prematurity, low birth weight, intrauterine growth retardation, birth defects, sepsis, and pulmonary hypoplasia or birth asphyxias. It is a hospital based speciality and is generally practised in neonatal intensive care units. Neonatologists are medicinal specialists who practice in NICU, also called Neonatal Intensive Care Units, which is a hospital department dedicated completely for new born infants.

Track 05: Pediatric Autoimmune Disorders

Autoimmune diseases in children are rare, and hence challenging to diagnose and treat when it occurs. Autoimmune disorders are mostly chronic and studies are still trying to find the root cause and prognosis of autoimmune disorders. Disorders that result from any unusual immune response are termed as autoimmune disorders.  Autoimmune disease is a state arising from antibody-mediated immune response abnormalities to a normal body part. If a pregnant woman has an autoimmune disorder — for example, lupus — those antibodies can be passed through the placenta to the infant, who then will have the identical antibodies for about four to six months and may have symptoms, which are then called neonatal lupus. In an autoimmune disease, a mutation causes the immune system to attack healthy cells and tissues and can affect any part of the body but mostly target connective tissues (skin, muscle and joints). Symptoms are fatigue, rashes, and in worst cases- seizures.

Some common pulmonary diseases include asthma, pneumonia, wheezing, bronchitis, acute respiratory distress syndrome, Sudden infant death syndrome, Cystic fibrosis, and Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Pediatric pulmonologists provide services like pulmonary function testing, flexible fiboroptic bronchoscopy (FFB), Imaging studies, Oxygen and carbon dioxide monitoring, Laryngoscopy, and Thoracentesis.     

Track 07: Pediatric Dentistry

Pediatric Dentistry deals with teeth and oral condition of children. Pediatric Dentistry is an age-defined specialty that provides both primary and comprehensive preventive and therapeutic oral health care for infants and children through adolescence, including those with special health care needs.
