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

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.

The 2009-2014 World Outlook for Diabetes Monitoring Devices

The 2009-2014 World Outlook for Diabetes Monitoring Devices Review



This econometric study covers the world outlook for diabetes monitoring devices across more than 200 countries. For each year reported, estimates are given for the latent demand, or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.), for the country in question (in millions of U.S. dollars), the percent share the country is of the region and of the globe. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a country vis-à-vis others. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each country and across countries, latent demand estimates are created. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved. This study does not report actual sales data (which are simply unavailable, in a comparable or consistent manner in virtually all of the 230 countries of the world). This study gives, however, my estimates for the worldwide latent demand, or the P.I.E., for diabetes monitoring devices. It also shows how the P.I.E. is divided across the world's regional and national markets. For each country, I also show my estimates of how the P.I.E. grows over time (positive or negative growth). In order to make these estimates, a multi-stage methodology was employed that is often taught in courses on international strategic planning at graduate schools of business.
