Pediatric endocrinology is a medical subspecialty dealing with disorders of the endocrine glands, such as variations of physical growth and sexual development in childhood, diabetes and many more. By age, pediatric endocrinologists, depending upon the age range of the patients they treat, care for patients from infancy to late adolescence and young adulthood. By disease, the most common disease of the specialty is type 1diabetes, which usually accounts for at least 50% of a typical clinical practice. The next most common problem is growth disorders, especially those amenable to growth hormone treatment. Pediatric endocrinologists are usually the primary physicians involved in the medical care of infants and children with intersex disorders. The specialty also deals with hypoglycemia and other forms of hyperglycemia in childhood, variations of puberty, as well other adrenal, thyroid, and pituitary problems. Many pediatric endocrinologists have interests and expertise in bone metabolism, lipid metabolism, adolescent gynecology, or inborn errors of metabolism.

Track 10: Neuroendocrinology

Neuroendocrinology is the study of the interaction between the nervous system and the endocrine system, including the biological features of the cells involved, and how they communicate. The nervous and endocrine systems often act together in a process called neuroendocrine integration, to regulate the physiological processes of the human body. Neuroendocrinology arose from the recognition that the brain, especially the hypothalamus, controls secretion of pituitary gland hormones, and has subsequently expanded to investigate numerous interconnections of the endocrine and nervous systems. The neuroendocrine system is the mechanism by which the hypothalamus maintains homeostasis, regulating reproduction, metabolism, eating and drinking behavior, energy utilization, osmolality and blood pressure.

Track 12: Diabetes Complications

The risk factors for type 1 diabetes are still being researched. However, having a family member with type 1 diabetes slightly increases the risk of developing the disease. Environmental factors and exposure to some viral infections have also been linked to the risk of developing type 1 diabetes. Several risk factors have been associated with type 2 diabetes and include, Overweight, Physical inactivity, Unhealthy diet.

Track 13: Diabetes Management

Diabetes can be very complicated, As diabetes is a prime risk factor for cardiovascular disease, controlling other risk factors which may give rise to secondary conditions, as well as the diabetes itself, is one of the facets of diabetes management. Checking cholesterol, LDL, HDL and triglyceride levels may indicate hyperlipoproteinemia, which may warrant treatment with hypolipidemic drugs. Checking the blood pressure and keeping it within strict limits (using diet and antihypertensive treatment) protects against the retinal, renal and cardiovascular complications of diabetes. Regular follow-up by foot health specialists is encouraged to prevent the development of diabetic foot. Annual eye exams are suggested to monitor for progression of diabetic retinopathy. Both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics can see dramatic effects on their blood sugars through controlling their diet, and some Type 2 diabetics can fully control the disease by dietary modification.

Importance & Scope:

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is the most common of the endocrine disorders. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus is expected to reach up to 4.4% in the world by 2030. Among all type of diabetes, type 2 diabetes is main complication. Currently available treatment options in modern medicine have several adverse effects. Therefore, there is a need to develop safe and effective treatment modalities for diabetes and endocrine disorders. Medical plants play an important role in the management of diabetes mellitus and endocrine disorders especially in developing countries where resources are meager.

As per ancient literature, more than 800 plants are reported to have antidiabetic properties.[59] Ethanopharmacological surveys indicate that more than 1200 plants are used in traditional medicine for their allied hypoglycemic activity. In diabetes, some herbal alternatives are proven to provide symptomatic relief and assist in the prevention of the secondary complication of the disease. Some herbs have also been proven to help in regeneration of ß-cells and in overcoming resistance. In addition to maintaining normal blood sugar level, some herbs are also reported to possess antioxidant activity and cholesterol lowering action. The management of type 2 diabetes mellitus is possible with drug that can lower the blood sugar level in one hand and restore the liver glycogen level on the other hand.

The limitation of currently available oral antidiabetic agents either in terms of efficacy/safety coupled with the emergence of the disease into global epidemic have encouraged alternative therapy that can manage diabetes more efficiently and safely.

Why Thailand:

Thailand is a developing country in Southeast Asia with an acknowledged requirement for improvement of the national medical system. Thailand is facing increasing numbers of patients with diabetes due to unhealthy diets, high obesity rates, and an aging society. Diabetes is a considerable burden for developing countries as it reduces quality of life, increases mortality, and drives up healthcare costs. The disease detection rate in Thailand has improved in recent years.

Diabetes is a chronic disease that requires life-long treatment and greatly increases the risk of serious, costly complications including heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, blindness and limb amputation.

Today, 382 million people in the world have diabetes.

The number of people with diabetes is increasing in every country in the world.

Today, 3.2 million people have diabetes in Thailand.

By 2035 an additional 1.1 million Thai adults will live with diabetes.

An estimated 183 people die of the consequences of diabetes in Thailand... every day.

This is one reason that there are very few endocrinologists in Thailand. This shortage is in spite of the many patients with endocrinology problems. Annually, up to 5 million patients with endocrine disease are recorded in Thailand, and this is significantly higher than the number of endocrinologists in Thailand (the present number is 474). The primary care of common endocrine disorders, such as diabetes mellitus and thyroid disease is still delivered by the general practitioner.

Herbal Medicine:

Although approximately 80 percent of people today depend upon herbal medication as a component of their primary healthcare according to the World Health Organization, there is still great concern about the safety and efficacy of herbal use.

The number of patients seeking alternate and herbal therapy is growing exponentially. Herbal medicines are the synthesis of therapeutic experiences of generations of practicing physicians of indigenous systems of medicine for over hundreds of years. Herbal medicines are now in great demand in the developing world for primary health care not because they are inexpensive but also for better cultural acceptability, better compatibility with the human body and minimal side effects. However, recent findings indicate that all herbal medicines may not be safe as severe consequences are reported for some herbal drugs. Most herbal products on the market today have not been subjected to drug approval process to demonstrate their safety and effectiveness. Thousand years of traditional use can provide us with valuable guidelines to the selection, preparation and application of herbal formulation. To be accepted as viable alternative to modern medicine, the same vigorous method of scientific and clinical validation must be applied to prove the safety and effectiveness of a therapeutical product. In the present review we attempted to describe the present scenario and project the future of herbal medicine.

The statistics are alarming;

The diabetes will be one of the world leading cause of death and disability with next quarter century.

30 million people were diagnosed with diabetes worldwide in 1985, by 1995 the number had risen to 135 million, and at the current rate there will be some 300 million by the year 2025 as predicted by the WHO. Currently, there are more than 17 million type 2 diabetic patients in the United States (or ~5.9% of the population), 11 million in Europe, and 6 million in Japan; which represents a potential primary therapeutic market of over $6 billion. In the United States in 1997, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) reports that the total economic cost of diabetes was estimated to be $98 billion which includes $44 billion in direct medical and treatment costs, and $54 billion in indirect costs related to disability and mortality. The prevalence of all forms of diabetes is estimated to be 2%-3% of the world's population, with the number of diabetics increasing by 4%-5% per annum.
