20th MILAN International Conference on Nursing, Medical & Veterinary Sciences: MNMVS-26

Call for papers/Topics

Topics of Interest for Submission include, but are Not Limited to:

1. Nursing Sciences: The Future of Care

Nursing is shifting toward higher levels of technological integration and a focus on clinician well-being.

  • Technology in Nursing Practice:

    • Virtual Nursing: Remote monitoring and "camera-in-room" support for bedside staff.

    • Wearable Integration: Real-time data sync from patient smartwatches to Electronic Health Records (EHR).

    • AI-Driven Decision Support: Using AI to predict patient deterioration (Sepsis, falls) before they happen.

  • Education & Professional Development:

    • Immersive Simulation: Using VR/AR for high-stakes clinical training (e.g., emergency code responses).

    • Competency-Based Education (CBE): Shifting from "seat time" to proven mastery of skills.

  • Nurse Well-being & Retention:

    • Resilience Training: Embedding mindfulness and mental health support into nursing curricula.

    • Flexible Staffing Models: AI-optimized scheduling to reduce burnout and moral injury.


2. Medical Sciences: Precision & Innovation

Medicine in 2025 is defined by "Deep Tech"—AI, genomics, and robotics working at the molecular and surgical levels.

  • Precision & Personalized Medicine:

    • Pharmacogenomics: Tailoring drug dosages based on a patient’s unique DNA profile.

    • mRNA Therapeutics: Expanding beyond COVID-19 into cancer vaccines and rare genetic disorders.

    • Multi-omics: Combining genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics for "whole-body" disease profiling.

  • Advanced Diagnostics & Surgery:

    • Liquid Biopsies: Detecting cancer through a simple blood test (circulating tumor DNA).

    • Next-Gen Robotics: Fully autonomous suturing and micro-robotics for targeted drug delivery.

    • Digital Twins: Creating a virtual 3D model of a patient’s organ to "test" surgeries before the actual procedure.

  • Regenerative Medicine:

    • 3D Bio-printing: Printing living tissue scaffolds for skin grafts or cartilage repair.

    • Exosome Therapy: Using cellular "messengers" to trigger natural tissue regeneration.


3. Veterinary Sciences: The Animal Health Frontier

Veterinary medicine is mirroring human medical advances while tackling unique challenges in food security and wildlife conservation.

  • Clinical & Specialist Care:

    • Veterinary Oncology: Adapting human CAR-T cell therapies for canine and feline cancers.

    • Species-Specific Pain Management: Novel monoclonal antibody treatments for osteoarthritis in pets.

    • Equine Sports Medicine: Using biomechanical sensors to detect early-stage lameness in performance horses.

  • Livestock & Production Health:

    • Precision Livestock Farming (PLF): Smart collars and sensors to monitor herd health and estrus cycles.

    • Alternative Proteins in Feed: Using insect-based or algae-based proteins to improve gut health and sustainability.

  • Zoological & Wildlife Medicine:

    • Paleogenomics: Using ancient DNA research to inform the conservation of endangered species.

    • Forensic Veterinary Medicine: Tech-assisted investigations into animal cruelty and illegal wildlife trade.


4. The "One Health" Intersection

This is the most critical area where all three fields overlap to solve global crises.

  • Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR):

    • Antimicrobial Stewardship: Collaborative protocols for the judicious use of antibiotics in both hospitals and farms.

    • Phage Therapy: Developing virus-based alternatives to traditional antibiotics for multi-drug resistant infections.

  • Zoonotic Disease & Pandemic Preparedness:

    • Spillover Monitoring: Tracking viruses as they jump from wildlife to domestic animals and humans (e.g., Avian Flu, Ebola).

    • Wastewater Surveillance: Using community wastewater to detect early signs of viral outbreaks in both human and animal populations.

  • Climate Change & Global Health:

    • Vector-Borne Disease Expansion: Managing the spread of Lyme disease, Malaria, and Dengue as warming climates shift tick and mosquito habitats.

    • Eco-toxicology: Studying how chemical pollutants (PFAS, microplastics) move through the food chain from water to livestock to humans.
