Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) encompasses a range of disorders affecting the heart and blood vessels, including coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, and conditions such as aortic aneurysm and lower extremity peripheral artery disease. It remains the leading cause of death worldwide, claiming 17.9 million lives annually, despite the availability of numerous therapeutic drugs. Thus, further research is warranted to enhance CVD treatment and reduce its morbidity and mortality. Diabetes and hypertension are conditions commonly found in aging populations that share common pathogenic pathways and are both strong, independent risk factors for CVD. Reducing blood glucose and blood pressure levels can significantly contribute to mitigating CVD-related morbidity and mortality. This Special Issue aims to present the latest perspectives and research findings on diabetes, hypertension, and CVD, comprising one Editorial article, eight review articles, and eight original research articles. These articles provide a comprehensive overview of recent developments in research on hypertension, insulin resistance/diabetes, and CVD, including atherosclerosis, aortic aneurysm, and myocardial infarction. They offer insights into CVD pathogenesis and facilitate the development of new therapeutic approaches.

This book was released on 2023-07-25 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advancements in the treatment for diabetes and cardiovascular complications in the last decade completely changed the landscape of these diseases. Newly developed medications significantly reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications and slow down the progression of diabetes, while innovative surgical technologies substantially improve the survival rates from the lethal complications. However, the emergence of advanced techniques comes with high expenses, which create huge barriers for access and worsens the disparity in health outcomes. Meanwhile, the use of these technologies calls for post-marketing surveillance in real world. How did new technologies adapt in the developed/developing countries? What is the cost for these treatments? Did these new treatments lead to improved healthcare quality? Many issues are unknown and thus we invite further investigation. This Research Topic seeks to draw a comprehensive picture of the current epidemiology and treatment of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases across the globe. We hope to publish high-quality articles that describe the epidemiology, economic, treatment, and disparity of diabetes and cardiovascular disease in the context of the new treatment era. Findings published in this Research Topic will enlighten an interesting discussion on how technological advancements shaped the landscape of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. It will also help identify gaps to be resolved in countries with different economic and social backgrounds across the globe. We welcome contributions of a range of topics including, but not limited to: • Contemporary epidemiology study focusing on the disease burden of diabetes and cardiovascular disease; • Economic burden of diabetes and cardiovascular disease; • Drug, new technology and service utilization for managing diabetes and cardiovascular disease; • Effectiveness and safety of treatment for diabetes and cardiovascular disease; • Policy studies involving the use of new treatments and technologies in patients with diabetes and cardiovascular disease;

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease of absolute or relative insulin deficiency or resistance characterised by disturbances in carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism. It is estimated that between 5-10 per cent of the population suffer from this disease. This syndrome is a contributing factor in a large percentage of deaths from heart attacks and strokes as well as renal failure and vascular disease. About 90 per cent of the cases of diabetes mellitus fall into Type 2 where obesity plays a major role. Research in the field is wide-spread ranging from causes to treatment. This book brings together leading research from throughout the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading causes of mortality in patients with diabetes, and many factors, including hypertension, contribute to this high prevalence of CVD. The current evidence regarding these diseases is quickly expanding, especially in the vascular mechanisms that predispose someone to both conditions. Furthermore, several novel therapies, such as sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors, have recently beenshown to have benefits against CVD in patients with type 2 diabetes. With these reasons in mind, the need for updated clinical studies in these fields to optimize the outcomes of patients with diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases arises. Finally, as we know that diabetes, hypertension, and especially CVD are associated with severity and mortality in patients with COVID-19 infection, we also invited colleagues around the world to report their clinical insights with these comorbidities and COVID-19 in order to provide support in this fundamental area during the pandemic.

Download or read book A Nationwide Framework for Surveillance of Cardiovascular and Chronic Lung Diseases written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-08-26 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronic diseases are common and costly, yet they are also among the most preventable health problems. Comprehensive and accurate disease surveillance systems are needed to implement successful efforts which will reduce the burden of chronic diseases on the U.S. population. A number of sources of surveillance data-including population surveys, cohort studies, disease registries, administrative health data, and vital statistics-contribute critical information about chronic disease. But no central surveillance system provides the information needed to analyze how chronic disease impacts the U.S. population, to identify public health priorities, or to track the progress of preventive efforts. A Nationwide Framework for Surveillance of Cardiovascular and Chronic Lung Diseases outlines a conceptual framework for building a national chronic disease surveillance system focused primarily on cardiovascular and chronic lung diseases. This system should be capable of providing data on disparities in incidence and prevalence of the diseases by race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and geographic region, along with data on disease risk factors, clinical care delivery, and functional health outcomes. This coordinated surveillance system is needed to integrate and expand existing information across the multiple levels of decision making in order to generate actionable, timely knowledge for a range of stakeholders at the local, state or regional, and national levels. The recommendations presented in A Nationwide Framework for Surveillance of Cardiovascular and Chronic Lung Diseases focus on data collection, resource allocation, monitoring activities, and implementation. The report also recommends that systems evolve along with new knowledge about emerging risk factors, advancing technologies, and new understanding of the basis for disease. This report will inform decision-making among federal health agencies, especially the Department of Health and Human Services; public health and clinical practitioners; non-governmental organizations; and policy makers, among others.
Download or read book Exercise and Diabetes written by Sheri R. Colberg and published by American Diabetes Association. This book was released on 2013-05-30 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical movement has a positive effect on physical fitness, morbidity, and mortality in individuals with diabetes. Although exercise has long been considered a cornerstone of diabetes management, many health care providers fail to prescribe it. In addition, many fitness professionals may be unaware of the complexities of including physical activity in the management of diabetes. Giving patients or clients a full exercise prescription that take other chronic conditions commonly accompanying diabetes into account may be too time-consuming for or beyond the expertise of many health care and fitness professionals. The purpose of this book is to cover the recommended types and quantities of physical activities that can and should be undertaken by all individuals with any type of diabetes, along with precautions related to medication use and diabetes-related health complications. Medications used to control diabetes should augment lifestyle improvements like increased daily physical activity rather than replace them. Up until now, professional books with exercise information and prescriptions were not timely or interactive enough to easily provide busy professionals with access to the latest recommendations for each unique patient. However, simply instructing patients to “exercise more” is frequently not motivating or informative enough to get them regularly or safely active. This book is changing all that with its up-to-date and easy-to-prescribe exercise and physical activity recommendations and relevant case studies. Read and learn to quickly prescribe effective and appropriate exercise to everyone.
Download or read book How Tobacco Smoke Causes Disease written by United States. Public Health Service. Office of the Surgeon General and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.

Download or read book Global Report on Diabetes written by Gojka Roglic and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "On the occasion of World Health Day 2016, WHO issues a call for action on diabetes, drawing attention to the need to step up prevention and treatment of the disease. The first WHO Global report on diabetes demonstrates that the number of adults living with diabetes has almost quadrupled since 1980 to 422 million adults. This dramatic rise is largely due to the rise in type 2 diabetes and factors driving it include overweight and obesity. In 2012 alone diabetes caused 1.5 million deaths. Its complications can lead to heart attack, stroke, blindness, kidney failure and lower limb amputation. The new report calls upon governments to ensure that people are able to make healthy choices and that health systems are able to diagnose, treat and care for people with diabetes. It encourages us all as individuals to eat healthily, be physically active, and avoid excessive weight gain."--Publisher's description.
