Download or read book Alterations in Glucose Homeostasis in Children Adolescents and Young Adults What s New written by E. Otto-Buczkowska and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alterations in Glucose Homeostasis in Children, Adolescents and Young Adults - What's New? is a book dedicated to the presentation of the latest research on selected issues associated with type 1 diabetes. The authors are well-known professors of Polish medical universities who published numerous scientific papers. Type 1 diabetes is the predominant form of diabetes in young people. It is an autoimmune disease which is particularly aggressive in small children. It is also a pandemic illness characterized by autoimmune, genetic and metabolic abnormalities. It concerns mainly children and young people, and therefore is a condition the patient will have to struggle with for many years hence. This is why it is extremely important to maintain maximum metabolic compensation to delay the occurrence of chronic complications which are an issue not only for the patient, but also for the society as a whole, as they involve a considerable financial burden. At present, we can observe the development of great advances in the treatment of this form of diabetes. Modern insulin preparations have been introduced as well as improved methods of glucose monitoring and insulin delivery. New ways to delay the autoimmune processes are being studied and implemented. It is becoming more and more realistic to create the artificial pancreas, which should greatly facilitate the achievement of normal metabolic control. In the long term, a possibility may exist to completely cure diabetes. A wide dissemination of knowledge concerning the latest research on type 1 diabetes is extremely important - among patients and, above all, among medical practitioners. This book is to serve as an approximation of the latest knowledge for physicians who take care of patients with diabetes on a daily basis.Alterations in Glucose Homeostasis in Children, Adolescents and Young Adults - What's New? is a book dedicated to the presentation of the latest research on selected issues associated with type 1 diabetes.

Download or read book Pituitary Disorders throughout the Life Cycle written by Susan L. Samson and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-08-25 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pituitary gland is often referred to as the master gland, coordinating hormonal signals from the hypothalamus and peripheral circulation to maintain homeostasis in the body. Patients with pituitary dysfunction are faced with challenges unique to each stage of their life cycle. For example, the goals of management for a hypopituitary adolescent transitioning to adulthood would be to optimize growth and sexual development. In early adulthood, approaches that optimize of fertility in men and women can be a priority, and the management approach will be very different from that of older adults requiring sex hormone replacement. This case-based guide will provide practical clinical guidance on approaches to the management of pituitary disorders organized by time of life, from childhood and fertile years through to older age. Sensibly divided into sections, various pituitary disorders and conditions are described and relevant treatment strategies are outlined. Sections included discussions of the unique considerations for the pituitary gland in childhood and adolescents, patients desiring fertility and pregnant patients, health optimization and non-tumoral diagnoses in adults, and management of disorders of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis in the elderly. Each chapter presents a clinical case vignette as an introduction to the concepts and a framework for the discussion of the diagnosis, management and unique consideration of each pituitary pathology. Practical and user-friendly, Pituitary Disorders throughout the Life Cycle is an excellent resource for practicing clinical endocrinologists (pediatric, transitional care, adult) and reproductive endocrinologists as well as specialty residents and trainees.
