Physical chemistry is a discipline that straddles the expansive realms of chemistry and physics. It grapples with the fundamental principles of chemistry, employing quantum mechanics to elucidate the structures of atoms and molecules, and thermodynamics to assess the role and function of energy. A significant focus of this field is on understanding and accelerating reactions, both at the macroscopic and microscopic levels. Thus, physical chemistry provides a comprehensive framework for exploring the intricate interplay between chemical and physical phenomena.

Maternal-Fetal Medicine is an rapidly evolving field, with a particular emphasis on fetal care. Current research is exploring treatments involving fetal gene and stem cells, with the aim of providing early interventions for genetic disorders. Additionally, advancements are being made in fetal open surgery to rectify congenital abnormalities, such as congenital heart defects. Efforts are also underway to prevent conditions like preeclampsia, further enhancing the scope of this specialty.

Pediatric Nephrology, a specialty focused on kidney diseases, bladder, and urinary tract conditions in children, has been practiced by nephrologists in Iran since 1966. These specialists cater to children suffering from various types of kidney and urinary tract diseases. Since 1990, there has been an initiative to train specialists specifically in Pediatric Nephrology. Currently, four centers in Iran are offering training for aspiring pediatric nephrology assistants. These include the Children's Medical Center Hospital and Ali Asghar Children's Hospital, both located in Tehran, Namazi Hospital in Shiraz, and Khorshid Children's Hospital in Kermanshah.

Typically, a gastroenterologist begins with a diagnostic test. In certain cases, they employ endoscopic techniques to examine the gastrointestinal tract and sections of the digestive tissue. Their scope of treatment extends to issues related to swallowing, digestion, internal bleeding, and inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract, as well as eating disorders and liver diseases.

The domain of specialized and sub-specialized medicine is dedicated to the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of disorders impacting various components of the nervous system. This includes the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and cerebrovascular structures. Their comprehensive approach ensures a holistic management of neurological health.
