Over 90 percent of young people under sixteen with diabetes have this type. Once diagnosed, kids find it overwhelming to understand what is happening inside their body and learn how to give injections, count carbohydrates and monitor blood sugar levels. With this and other diseases and conditions in mind, Dr. Kim Chilman-Blair and Dr. Kate Hersov teamed up with a former Marvel graphic novel artist to create a series of comic books. Each comic is written by doctors and peer-reviewed by leading specialists in each respective therapy area. Medikidz is a resource designed to educate not only young patients, peers and their parents, but also to aid practitioners and educators in explaining health conditions effectively. The books follow a team of five larger than life superheroes. The Medikidz each specialise in explaining a different part of the body. What's up with Ella? is an engaging way to educate children about Type 1 Diabetes. SYNOPSIS Ella is in the middle of hosting a very important meeting when she collapses in front of everyone. Fortunately, the Medikidz are on-hand ready to whisk her off to Mediland, a planet shaped like the human body, to explain what's really going on. Join Ella as she is taken on an insightful journey and given the knowledge required to help take ownership of her condition. Will she return from Mediland feeling more confident about how to handle her Type 1 Diabetes?

Book excerpt: This book is intended as an overview of recent progress in type 1 diabetes research worldwide, with a focus on different research areas relevant to this disease. These include: diabetes mellitus and complications, psychological aspects of diabetes, perspectives of diabetes pathogenesis, identification and monitoring of diabetes mellitus, and alternative treatments for diabetes. In preparing this book, leading investigators from several countries in these five different categories were invited to contribute a chapter to this book. We have striven for a coherent presentation of concepts based on experiments and observation from the authors own research and from existing published reports. Therefore, the materials presented in this book are expected to be up to date in each research area. While there is no doubt that this book may have omitted some important findings in diabetes field, we hope the information included in this book will be useful for both basic science and clinical investigators. We also hope that diabetes patients and their family will benefit from reading the chapters in this book.
Download or read book The Other Kind of Funnies written by Han Yu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-14 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Other Kind of Funnies refutes the mainstream American cultural assumption that comics have little to do with technical communication-that the former are entertaining (in a low-brow sense) and juvenile, whereas the latter is practical and serious (to the point of stuffiness). The first of its kind, this book demonstrates the exciting possibilities of using comics in technical communication. It defines comics as a medium and art form that includes cartoons, comic strips, comic books, and graphic novels; provides conceptual and historical backgrounds on comics; and discusses the appeals and challenges of using comics-style technical communication. More specifically, it examines comics-style instructions, educational materials, health/risk communication, and political/propaganda communication. The author argues that comics-style technical communication encourages reader participation, produces covert persuasion, facilitates intercultural communication, benefits underprivileged audiences such as children and readers of lower literacy, and challenges the positivist view of technical communication. An abundance of comics-style technical communication examples, carefully selected from across cultures and times, demonstrates the argument. While the book proposes that comics can create user-friendly, visually oriented, engaging, and socially responsible technical communication, it is also quick to acknowledge the limitations and challenges of comics-style technical communication and provides heuristics on how to cope with them. The Other Kind of Funnies is unique in its interdisciplinary approach. It focuses on technical communication but speaks to design, cultural and intercultural studies, historical studies, and to some extent, education, politics, and art.

Not only do they make the medical aspect easy to understand for all ages, they also explain the importance of working as a team.” Lindsey Waldman MD, RD Pediatric Specialists of Virginia “This book struck a chord with me because, when I was a young woman navigating the murky waters of type 1 diabetes, a part of me began to believe that I would never be healthy or strong. I believed that feeling good would never be in the cards for me; that I was doomed to a life of feeling badly with up and down blood sugars. That was, until I met an adult woman living successfully with the disease. She lived her best life, in spite of the challenges of this disease, and it inspired me beyond measure. Empowerment is the message at the heart of this book and it is what we should be teaching all our children and teenagers with type 1 diabetes. They deserve to be healthy and happy, now and for the rest of their lives, and they have the power to do it. I will be pleased to share this book with all the patients and families I work with.” Emily Viall BSN, RN, CDE Endocrine Nurse/Certified Diabetes Educator Pediatric Specialists of Virginia
