Emergencies In Diabetes

While diabetes can usually be well-controlled using modern therapies, metabolic emergencies inevitably occur. This book provides an easy-to-read yet comprehensive account of emergencies in diabetes conveniently collected into one volume. For each topic, a brief review of the pathophysiology is followed by a description of cardinal clinical features, clinical and biochemical assessment and clinical management.
Designed to fit conveniently into the pocket of a white coat, this book should be readily to hand in all hospital medical wards, particularly A&E. It will be useful to junior hospital doctors across a wide range of specialties, senior house officers in general medical training, and nurses involved in the care of patients with diabetes.

The Pituitary. 3rd Ed.

The pituitary, albeit a small gland, is known as the "master gland" of the endocrine system and contributes to a wide spectrum of disorders, diseases, and syndromes. Since the publication of the second edition of The Pituitary, in 2002, there have been major advances in the molecular biology research of pituitary hormone production and action and there is now a better understanding of the pathogenesis of pituitary tumors and clinical syndromes resulting in perturbation of pituitary function. There have also been major advances in the clinical management of pituitary disorders. Medical researchers and practitioners now better understand the morbidity and mortality associated with pituitary hormone hyposecretion and hypersecretion. Newly developed drugs, and improved methods of delivering established drugs, are allowing better medical management of acromegaly and prolactinoma.

Atlas of the Diabetic Foot

Foot ulcers occur in approximately 15% of the patients with diabetes mellitus in their lifetime, with a major impact on their quality of life. Many hospital admissions related to diabetes are due to foot ulcers, which can result in prolonged hospital stay and increased morbidity and mortality. The majority of lower limb amputations are performed in patients with diabetes every year (80,000 at least in the USA). Most of the diabetes-related foot problems can be prevented or their severity reduced by early detection and treatment. This book contributes to improved foot care through raised awareness of prevention, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and management among healthcare professionals.

Textbook of Diabetes and Pregnancy

The first edition of the Textbook of Diabetes and Pregnancy, was published five years ago. At that time, I mused about the uncertainty that yet another textbook on a well established topic of clinical activity and research would be successful. The record of widespread circulation of the text speaks for itself, encouraging the preparation of the second edition that is now a reality. There is a long history of collegiality among leaders in the field of diabetes and pregnancy. Reflecting this, the editor, is from Israel and he assembled a team of co-editors from three additional countries, the USA, Italy, and Spain. The more than 60 additional authors that contributed to the first edition were from equally diverse backgrounds, fields of expertise, and institutional and national affiliations. Likewise, the content of the volume was comprehensive and provided great depth in coverage of the field.

Tratamiento Nutricional de los Errores Innatos del Metabolismo

El binomio nutrición y enfermedades metabólicas puede ser conceptualmente abordado de diversas maneras: 1) partiendo de la nutrición: modificaciones de los distintos principios inmediatos para adecuarlos a determinadas situaciones generadas por un trastorno metabólico; 2) efectuando comparaciones entre la nutrición del niño normal y estableciendo las diferencias con los niños afectos de errores innatos del metabolismo y 3) partiendo de los principales grupos de enfermedades metabólicas y de su fisiopatología, a fin de establecer el tratamiento nutricional más oportuno. Este último camino, sin duda el más prolijo y complejo, resulta también el de mayor utilidad para los pediatras generales y es el elegido por los autores. Nadie mejor que ellos para hacerlo puesto que son expertos en las dos facetas del binomio: su excelente formación en nutrición unida a su amplia experiencia en el manejo de enfermedades metabólicas les capacita especialmente para este cometido.

Evidence-Based Paediatric and Adolescent Diabetes

Evidence-based Paediatric and Adolescent Diabetes brings together an international group of paediatric diabetes specialists to address the cause, course and complications of all types of diabetes. From a careful review of the latest research, they propose the best possible evidence-based recommendations for the care of children and the youth with diabetes.

The text provides the reader with an understanding across three different levels:

• Reviews how strong the evidence is for recommending one approach over another
• Highlights areas where evidence is not based on the types of studies needed to provide ‘highgrade recommendations’, but where there is a general consensus as to the most sensible approach

Managing Osteoporosis

The first in a series of practical books for clinicians setting out the options for effective management of chronic disease. There have been enormous advances in knowledge and understanding of the scientific and clinical aspects of osteoporosis over recent years. How do these advances translate into clinical practice, and in particular, how do we manage the continuing risk, or presence, of osteoporosis? Prevention and management involve maximising bone strength, optimizing diet, preventing falls, reducing the impact of falls and fractures, and understanding the potential psychological repercussions of the disease. This comprehensive review volume examines all these aspects, and provides clinicians with a thorough understanding of the factors which will enable them to formulate an appropriate strategy for treatment and long-term management for each individual patient.

Thyroid and Heart Failure. From Pathophysiology to Clinics

Both thyroid dysfunction and heart failure show a high prevalence in the adult population. Frequently, in clinical practice, a multidisciplinary approach is useful to optimize the management of patients with these conditions. Although there is no doubt regarding the close link between cardiovascular pathophysiology and thyroid homeostasis, our understanding of this association is far from being exhaustive. Thyroid hormone regulates the expression of cardiac-specific functional contractile and structural proteins and plays a pivotal role in modulating both diastolic and systolic function as well as peripheral vascular resistance. The close relationship between thyroid and heart dysfunction is strongly supported by recent evidence demonstrating that an altered thyroid profile is a negative prognostic predictor in patients with heart failure. The treatment of chronic heart failure, especially in advanced stages of the disease, continues to be an open and challenging field.
