Internal Medicine Conference Sessions
TRACKS
Session 1: Internal Medicine and
Critical care
Critical care medication is
a branch of medication involved with diagnosing, prevention
and management of severe conditions
requiring sophisticated organ support and therefore
the invasive observation. It might treat problems such as
complications from surgery, accidents, infections, and severe breathing
problems and aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the intensive care field. Critical care usually
takes place in an intensive care unit (ICU) or trauma center.
Most physicians trained in critical care
medicine work in hospital-based settings, usually in intensive
care units. Within internal medicine, critical care medicine training is most commonly
coupled with a pulmonary
medicine frequently care of patients in intensive care units.

Session 2: Internal medicine and Vaccination
Vaccination is that the
administrative of antigenic material to stimulate the individual’s system to
develop reconciling immunity to an infectious agent. Vaccines stimulate body’s
own system to guard the person against resultant infection or un-wellness. Some
vaccinations also reduce transmission of infectious disease agents from immunized people to others thereby they can reduce the impact of infection spread.

Session 3: Internal medicine and its Case
reports
In medicine, a case report is a detailed report
of the patient’s symptoms, signs, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up.
Case reports may contain a demographic profile of the patient, but usually
describe an unusual or novel occurrence. Some case reports also contain
a literature review of others reported.
Case reports do have
genuinely useful roles in medical
research and evidence-based medicine. In
particular, they have facilitated recognition of new diseases, adverse effects
of treatments. These case reports are included in many leading abstracting and
indexing databases. They also help to understand the clinical spectrum of rare
diseases, as well as presentation of the common diseases. They may also have a role
to play in guiding the treatment in clinical practice.

Session 4: Internal medicine and
Gynecology
Gynecology is the branch of medicine
dealing with health care of women, the diagnosis and treatment of disorders
affecting the female reproductive system. Internal medicine physicians encounter the female
patients with disease processes which may be directly related to female
reproductive system and its endocrinology. Education in
evaluation, examination, diagnosis and, management of basic gynecological conditions will significantly enhance the internist’s ability to
diagnose, treat a broader scope of patients.

Session 5: Internal medicine and Adult
diseases
In older adults, age comes an ever-greater concern for one’s health. In spite of older
adults enjoying the longer and also the additional fulfilling life spans, they
continue to be larger risk of contracting disease due to a number of factors.
These factors include a weakened immune system, decrease in the overall activity and use of the medications that
impact body’s immune system response.
Prevention measures usually include changes in one’s lifestyle, from increased
exercise to quit smoking and alcohol consumption.
These included monocyclic systemic disease,
polycyclic systemic disease, chronic articular monocyclic systemic disease, and
chronic articular polycyclic systemic disease. People with chronic articular
disease and poly articular disease were at higher risk to develop disabling
arthritis.

Session 6: Internal medicine and Emergency
medicine
Emergency medicine is a medical speciality involving care for
undifferentiated and unexpected patients, with sickness or injuries requiring immediate medical attention. In their role as first-line providers, emergency physicians are responsible for initiating investigations and interventions to
diagnose and/or treat patients in the acute phase, coordinating care with
physicians from different specialities, and making decisions regarding a
patient's need for hospital admission, observation, or discharge.
Emergency physicians
usually practice in hospital emergency
departments, pre-hospital settings via emergency medical services, and medical care units, however may also
work in primary care settings such
as urgent care clinics. Emergency medicine is distinct from urgent care, which refers to immediate healthcare for less emergent medical issues, however, many emergency
physicians work in urgent care settings.
Session 7: Internal medicine and Chronic
disease
The treatment of chronic disease is often complicated by the
coexistence of multiple medical conditions and by the presence of social and psychological impediments.
Chronic disease management is a broad term that encompasses many different
models for improving care for people with chronic disease.
The prevalence of
chronic diseases is increasing in both the elderly and non-elderly populations,
with a significant increase in the number of people with multiple chronic
diseases. Chronic conditions have often been used to
describe the various health related states of the human body such as syndromes,
physical impairments, disabilities as well as diseases. For example, high blood
pressure or hypertension is considered to be not only a chronic condition itself but also
correlated to diseases such as heart attack or stroke.

Session 8: Internal medicine and Genomic
medicine
The potential
benefits of genomic medicine include improved disease
risk assessment, selection of therapy and drug dosing. Its potential adverse
effects include patient anxiety and the unnecessary and expensive tests and
procedures that might follow from a genomic results. Genomic medicine,
sometimes also known as personalized medicine, is a way to customize medical
care to your body's unique genetic makeup.
Each of the cells in
the body contains DNA, the molecules you
inherit from your parents that determine how your body looks and functions. DNA
is arranged like a twisted ladder, with information stored in the arrangement,
or sequence, of the rungs. Sections of the DNA ladder that contain information
needed to make proteins are known as genes.

Session 9: Internal medicine and Primary
care
Primary care is a
healthcare given by the healthcare provider. This provider acts as first
contact, principal point of continuing care for the patient within
a health care system, and coordinates with other specialist care that the
patient may need. Patients commonly get primary care from the primary care
physician. Physicians specializing in internal medicine
are called internist.
Primary care involves widest scope
of healthcare, including patients of all the ages, patients of
all socioeconomic and geographic origins and the patients seeking to
maintain optimal health, patients with all manner of acute and chronic
physical, mental and social health issues, including multiple chronic diseases. Consequently, Primary care doctor must possess a wide breadth of knowledge in many
areas. Continuity is a key characteristic of the primary care, as patients usually prefer
to consult same practitioner for routine check-ups and preventive
care, health education, and every time the patient requires
an initial consultation about a new health problem.

Session 10: Internal medicine and Pharmaco
epidemiology
Pharmaco epidemiology is the study of the uses and effect of the drug in a well-defined
population. It provides an estimate of the probability of beneficial effects of
a drug in a population and the probability of adverse effects. It can be called
a bridge science covering both clinical pharmacology and epidemiology.
Epidemiology is the study of the distribution and determinants of diseases and
other health states in populations. Epidemiological studies can be divided into
two main types. Descriptive epidemiology describes disease and exposure and may
consist of calculating rates e.g., incidence and prevalence. Analytic
epidemiology includes two types of studies: observational studies, such as
case-control and cohort studies, and experimental studies which include clinical
trials or randomized clinical trials.
Adverse drug

Adverse drug events
Clinical and
Pre-clinical studies
Session 11: Internal medicine and Hospital
medicine
Hospital medicine is a type of practice within
internal medicine in which the clinical focus is caring for hospitalized
patients. Physicians whose primary professional focus is hospital medicine are called hospitalists. A Hospitalist is a
practitioner who is engaged in clinical care, research, and leadership in the
field of hospital medicine. Practitioners of hospital medicine include
physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants.
The scope of hospital
medicine includes acute patient care, teaching, research, and
executive leadership related to the delivery of hospital-based care. Hospital medicine is a relatively new phenomenon as
such it is the fastest growing specialty in the history of medicine.

Session 12: Internal medicine and Endocrinology
An internist who concentrates on disorders of
the internal (endocrine) glands such as the thyroid and adrenal glands. The
principle problems endocrinologists encounter include goiter,
thyroid nodules, thyroid dysfunction, diabetes mellitus, hyper and hypocalcaemia,
adrenal cortex dysfunction, endocrine hypertension, gonadal disorders,
disorders of sodium and water balance, manifestations of pituitary disorders,
disorders of bone metabolism, and hyperlipidemia.
An endocrinologist is a specialist doctor, who
specializes in the endocrine system, which includes diabetes, thyroid, etc. The endocrine system involves a number of feedback
mechanisms, so that often one hormone will control the action or release of
another secondary hormone if there is too much of the secondary hormone, it may
provide negative feedback to the primary hormone, maintaining homeostasis.

Session 13: Internal medicine and Clinical
pharmacist
Clinical pharmacy is a branch of Pharmacy where pharmacists provide patient care that
optimizes the use of medication and promotes health, wellness, and disease
prevention. The clinical pharmacists in the care of hospitalized patients
has evolved over time, with increased emphasis on collaborative care and patient interaction.
Clinical pharmacists have extensive education in the biomedical, pharmaceutical and clinical sciences. Clinical pharmacists interact directly with
patients in several different ways. They use their knowledge of medication to
determine if a medication plan is appropriate for their patient. If it is not,
the pharmacist will consult the primary physician to ensure that the patient is
on the proper medication plan. The purpose of this review was to evaluate the
published literature on the effects of interventions by clinical pharmacists on processes and outcomes of
care in hospitalized adults.

Session 14: Internal medicine and
Immunology
Immunology is a broad branch of
biomedical science that covers the study of all aspects of the immune system in
all organisms. It deals with, among other things, the physiological functioning
of the immune system in states of both health and disease; malfunctions of the
immune system in immunological disorders (autoimmune disease,
hypersensitivities, immune deficiency).
Immunology involves
the management of disorders related to the immune system. These conditions
range from the very common to the very rare, spanning all ages and encompassing
various organ systems.

Session 15: Internal medicine and Infectious
diseases
Infectious diseases are disorders caused by organisms such as bacteria,
viruses, fungi or parasites. Infectious disease is the
subspecialty of internal medicine dealing with the diagnosis and treatment of
communicable diseases of all types, in all organs, and in all ages of patients.
The Division of
Infectious Diseases provides expertise in the treatment of infectious diseases
in both inpatient and outpatient settings. In addition, the division also
offers a broad range of research opportunities, including basic laboratory investigation,
translational research, clinical trials, and clinical epidemiology.

GLOBAL INTERNAL MEDICINE
MARKET OUTLOOK
Internal medicine physicians are
specialists who apply scientific knowledge and clinical expertise to the
diagnosis, treatment, and compassionate care of adults across the spectrum from
health to complex illness. Many internists enter into practice following
completion of their basic internal medicine training. These physicians
practice “general internal medicine” and are commonly referred to as “general
internists.” Some internists choose to take additional training to
"subspecialize" in a more focused area of internal medicine.
The shortage of physicians in
rural and remote areas provides opportunity for internal medicine to spread its
reach to millions of patients and this widespread deployment of services will
continue at a rapid pace in the future as well. In the latest research study,
“Global Internal Medicine Market Outlook”, the analysts have studied the
complete Internal medicine industry with focus on market segmentation,
government initiatives and competitive landscape. Global Internal Medicine
market was valued at USD 174.14 billion in 2014. The market size of the
Internal medicine is highest in USA, which is need to be get propagated across
the globe in order to develop.
Demographic representation (%)
The internal medicine market is also
benefiting from changes in the insurance landscape, with more companies
covering complementary and alternative medical care. One major obstacle to
industry growth involves the comparatively slack condition of its regulations,
and less extensive research and developing methods than in modern medicine. The
degree of risk associated with internal medicine is sometimes perceived as
higher, relative to more mainstream healthcare in developed countries. As we
can see the market value of Internal Medicine in 2010 it was 67billion $, and
due to the subsequent rise, it is expected to be 155 billion$ till 2020. We can
see this graphical representation in the below-mentioned graph.
Internal Medicine market
growth rate is 5-7% yearly. The market value of the Internal Medicine is
increasing gradually. And it is likely to increase to 17332million $ till
2018. This is a huge leap from 2014 -2018; the market value is subsequently increasing,
as it is shown below in a graphical representation.
