INSULIN PUMP THERAPY IN THE 21ST CENTURY: Strategies for successful use in adults, adolescents, and children with diabetes Effective implementation of ... clinical follow-up. (Postgraduate Medicine) Review

Use of insulin pump therapy in the United States has dramatically increased during the last decade. Pump therapy is now regarded as a safe and viable alternative in adults, adolescents, and children with diabetes. In a series of follow-up studies involving more than 800 patients, Drs Bode, Tamborlane, and Davidson have documented the advantages of pump therapy and the keys to its successful use. Here, they present these and other findings, along with their predictions for the future of pump therapy. Bode BW, Tamborlane WV, Davidson PC. Insulin pump therapy in the 21st century: strategies for successful use in adults, adolescents, and children with diabetes.

Textbook of Diabetes and Pregnancy, Second Edition (Maternal-Fetal Medicine (Creasy)) Review

Babies of women with diabetes are nearly five times more likely to be stillborn; are almost three times more likely to die in the first three months; and twice as many are born with major congenital malformations. The incidence is high—somewhere between 3 and 7 per cent of all pregnant women in the USA have diabetes—and rising; the condition is often complicated by other risk-factors such as obesity and heart disease. This major book gives a comprehensive review of the epidemiology, science and clinical management of gestation diabetes.

Fully updated and revised, it contains new chapters on:

• Fetal growth in normal and diabetic pregnancies
• Genetics
• Congenital anomalies
• Exercise
• Pharmacological management
• Insulin pump therapy
• Hypoglycemia
• The role of ultrasound for timing of delivery
• Thyroid and pregnancy
• Fetal origins of adult disease
• Metabolic syndrome and diabetes following gestational diabetes mellitus
• Psychological and social aspects

The book provides a comprehensive, authoritative, international view of these difficult pregnancies and will be invaluable to maternal-fetal medicine specialists, diabetologists, neonatologists, and basic scientists working in the field.

Diabetes: Translating Research into Practice (Translational Medicine)

Diabetes: Translating Research into Practice (Translational Medicine) Review

Diabetes has garnered world-wide attention and research funding as clinicians and researchers seek to better understand its pathogenesis, prevention, complications management, and impact and relationship to other diseases (heart disease, kidney disease, infections, and inflammation). Clinicians are being overwhelmed with rapidly evolving developments regarding the science and clinical management of diabetes, and are struggling to understand and use this information. Diabetes: Translating Research to Practice will provide a concise interpretation of translational diabetes research for the purpose of preparing clinicians to understand and effectively deploy new strategies and therapeutics into the clinical care of diabetes patients by examining · a contrast between existing information in the clinical practice versus the basis and need for future clinical trials · breakthroughs within clinical trials and methods to incorporate bench to bedside material for the clinical practice · the synthesis and interpretation of the scientific principles, trial results, and clinical implications of emerging and translational therapies, and the management strategies for diabetic patients · the entire scope of translational diabetes research from biology to screening and prognosis, new therapeutics, insulin, transplantation, and complications management · new therapeutic strategies to knowledgably and effectively equip the practicing clinician · assembles information that is scattered throughout the diabetic community into one concise single reference
