Track: 7 Endoscopic Ultrasonography           

Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) or echo-endoscopy is a medical procedure in which endoscopy (insertion of a probe into a hollow organ) is correlate with ultrasound to obtain images of the internal organs in the chest, abdomen and colon and to analyse the walls of these organs. Combined with Doppler imaging, adjacent structures and nearby blood vessels can also be determined.

This happens at the level of the sphincter of oddi, a round muscle situated at the opening of the bile channel into the intestine. If a stone from the gallbladder should go down the normal bile channel and stuck out at the sphincter, it prevents the flow of all material to the outer environment from the liver and pancreas. This results in inflammation of the pancreas which may be severe. Gallstone pancreatitis can be a long life chronic disease and sometimes it may develop severe pain in abdomen.

Track: 10 Gastrointestinal Immunology

Gastrointestinal tract is the largest immune organ of the human body and represents a vast surface to the external environment which studies host-microbe interaction in celiac disease, Ulcerative colitis and inflammatory bowel disease.

Gastrointestinal biopsies are obtained from the patients with these disorders during endoscopies.

To study the characteristics and features of host genes and micro biome in gastrointestinal tract, various new techniques of molecular biology are used.

Track: 11 Gastrointestinal Oncology

Gastrointestinal cancer refers to abnormal conditions of the gastrointestinal tract (GI tract) and accessory organs of digestive tract, including the oesophagus, stomach, biliary system, pancreas, intestine, rectum and anus. The indications or symptoms which are related to the affected organ include obstruction at the sphincters which may leads to difficulty in engulfing and defecating. This requires the diagnosis by endoscopy, biopsy of suspicious tissue. The determination regularly requires endoscopy, trailed by biopsy of suspicious tissue. The treatment relies upon the area of the tumour, and in addition the sort of disease cell and whether it has attacked different tissues or spread somewhere else.

Track: 12 Irritable Bowel Syndrome

The most well-known ailments are Haemorrhoids, Anal Fissure, Anorectal abscess and anal fistula. The patients those who have severe bleeding, pain are indicated for surgical treatment. The most widely recognized surgical medicines for serious haemorrhoids are elastic band ligation and haemorrhoidectomy.

Track: 16 Neurogastroenterology and Motility

Neurogastroenterology includes the study associated with brain, the alimentary canal, and their interactions with significance to the comprehension and management of gastrointestinal motility and functional GI disorders. Neurogastroenterology concentrates on the functions, malfunctions, and the malformations of the sympathetic, parasympathetic, and enteric divisions of the digestive tract.

Track: 17 Nutrition in Gastroenterology

Nutrition relates with the interaction of nutrients and other moieties in GIT and in relation to maintain the growth, reproduction, wellness and disease of an organism. It includes food intake, absorption, distribution, biosynthesis, catabolism and excretion. Lack of proper nutrition is associated with poorer gastrointestinal tract clinical outcomes which lead to malnutrition. This is due to Malabsorption, failure to use certain supplements, increased requirements.

Track: 18 Bariatric Surgery

Bariatric surgery is a weight loss surgery includes a variety of procedures performed to the people who have obesity.

Market Dynamic

Global Gastrointestinal Endoscopic Devices Market

The global gastrointestinal endoscopic devices market accounted for approximately USD 5.6 Billion in 2015 and is expected to reach approximately USD 8.5 Billion by 2021, growing at a CAGR of around 7.0% between 2016 and 2021.

Scope

GI market worth $4.4B by 2020

The US and European gastrointestinal endoscopic market is relied upon to develop to over $4.4 Billion by 2020. Market development will principally be driven by an expansion popular for gastrointestinal endoscopic methods.

Gastrointestinal endoscopy is a standout amongst the most generally performed restorative techniques in the world. It is estimated that there will be more than 75 million gastrointestinal endoscopic methods performed in the U.S. and Europe combined by 2020. The major part of these methodologies is colon cancer screenings, the removal of gastrointestinal tract ailments.
