Diabetes and Protein Glycosylation: Measurement and Biologic Relevance
by Margo Panush CohenIn the years since the initial discovery that blood from diabetic patients contains increased amounts of a posttranslationally gluco sylated form of hemoglobin (hemoglobin Ale)' an impressive number of studies have clarified and expanded the use of glycohemoglobin levels to assess disease status. Many other structural proteins have been shown to undergo similar changes, including proteins from tissues most commonly affected in diabetes (e.g., lens, aorta, peripheral nerve, basement membrane). Thus, the nonenzymatic glycosylation of hemoglobin emerges as an invaluable model for the pathogenesis of certain chronic diabetes complications. In addition to reviewing a wealth of investigative possibilities in the area of these chronic complications-including eye, kidney, nerve, and vascular disease-Dr. Cohen indicates how enhanced nonenzymatic glycosylation in uncontrolled diabetes underscores the pressing need for maintenance of long-term euglycemia. Dr. Cohen is an endocrinologist and diabetes specialist whose research activities have largely focused on the chemistry and metabo lism of the basement membrane in diabetes. This superb monograph on nonenzymatic glycosylation clearly shows the major trends of her past and present research and clinical activities. This book is beautifully written and a pleasure to read. It provides great insight into the mechanisms of the pathogenesis of the oom- vii viii Foreword cations of diabetes and should be of immense value not only to basic and clinical investigators, but also to internists, diabetologists, and endocrinologists in clinical practice.
Diabetes and the Brain (Contemporary Diabetes)
by Geert Jan Biessels Jose A. LuchsingerDiabetes, particularly type 2, has become increasingly more common around the world. Consequently, the effect of diabetes on the brain has achieved enormous public health importance. A surge in pre-clinical and clinical research on topics ranging from management of hyperglycemia in acute stroke to disturbances in insulin signaling in Alzheimer’s disease has led to substantial progress in the field. Written by a panel of international experts, Diabetes and the Brain provides in depth reviews on the cerebral complications of diabetes, and offers introductory chapters on current insights on the pathophysiology and clinical management of diabetes, as well as neuropsychological assessment and dementia. This relevant and easily accessible book explains the cerebral complications of diabetes, with an update on diabetes for neurologists, psychiatrists, and mental health providers and researchers in general,and on stroke and dementia for those involved in research and clinical practice in diabetes.
Diabetes and the Endocrine Pancreas: A Biochemical Approach (Croom Helm Biology in Medicine Series)
by W. MontagueThis book attempts to explore the contribution that biochemistry has made, thus far, to our understanding of the endocrine pancreas and its relationship to diabetes mellitus. It was written with the aim of using an important clinical problem to illustrate, to medical students, that there are many aspects of the biochemistry taught in the early years which have direct relevance to clinical medicine. Furthermore, it is hoped that such information might provide biochemistry students with a frame work on which to base further studies. To this end a selection of recent references has been placed at the end of each chapter. In spite of considerable advances in our understanding of diabetes mellitus, it is still a disease which many physicians do not seem to com prehend. This is in part related to their lack of understanding of the molecular biology of the disease. Advances in this area have been dramatic in recent years and we are now able to offer a molecular basis for a rational approach to therapy. It may be therefore that this book will provide some physicians with the information they require to help them gain a deeper understanding of the disease. I hope that everyone who reads this book is able to capture some of the fascination that the islets of Langerhans hold for myself and the many other workers actively engaged in trying to unravel their mys teries.
Diabetes and the Kidney: Diabetic Nephropathy: Prevention, Diagnosis, Treatment
by Christoph Hasslacher Sonja B¿hmDiabetes, when untreated, leads to damage to several organs within the body, particularly the kidneys. This damage may also go undetected for several years, until the later stages of kidney failure are reached, with a need for kidney replacement therapy - either dialysis or transplantation. Such progression is not inevitable. With good management, diabetes can be well controlled and kidney function can be maintained; to a certain extent, the damage can even be reversed. Diabetes and the Kidney is written for people with diabetes, their families and carers. It describes the function of the kidneys, the development of nephropathy, the ways to recognize it early and the correct way to manage it. The title emphasizes how people should take responsibility for their own health, with information on diet, giving up smoking and taking exercise. Clearly written description of kidney function, how it goes wrong in diabetic nephropathy and ways to prevent this Guidance on diet, exercise and generally encouraging people to become involved in their own health care Information on treatment of kidney disease and kidney replacement therapy

Diabetes bei Kindern und Jugendlichen: Klinik, Therapie, Rehabilitation (Kliniktaschenbücher)
by P. HürterEs macht mir große Freude, das Geleitwort zu diesem Buch zu schreiben. Diabetes mellitus ist die häufigste endokrine Erkrankung im Kindes alter: 1 von 600 bis 1000 Kindern unter 16 Jahren leidet an Diabetes. Diese lebenslange Erkrankung ist aufgrund ihrer speziellen und komplexen Probleme eine Herausforderung für jeden, der diese Kin der betreut. Diabetes ist gleichzeitig eine akute und eine chronische Erkrankung, da jedes Abweichen von einer guten Stoffwechselkontrolle einen kri tischen Zustand hervorrufen kann, der sofortiges Eingreifen erfor dert. Die schwierige Regulation des Gleichgewichtes zwischen Er nährung, Energieverbrauch und Insulin-Therapie ist eine schwere Belastung für den jungen Diabetiker und seine Familie und ein un verständliches Puzzle für Lehrer und Spielkameraden. Das führt zur Entwicklung psychosomatischer Spannungen mit daraus resultieren den psychosozialen Folgen. Professor Hürter hat mit Erfolg versucht, diese Erkenntnisse allen, die beruflich mit der Behandlung von Dia betes mellitus befaßt sind, zu vermitteln. Dieses Buch enthält das Grundwissen über die Ätiologie, Pathophy siologie und Therapie des Diabetes bei Kindern und Jugendlichen. Eines der großen Verdienste des Buches ist es, daß Dr. Hürter Ver ständnis dafür weckt, daß die Familie als ein Ganzes die Grundlage der erfolgreichen Diabetesbehandlung darstellt und das Kind daher so wenig Zeit wie möglich in Krankenhäusern und Sanatorien zubrin gen sollte. Nur wenige Kliniken im deutschen Sprachraum wenden gegenwärtig diesen Grundsatz an, und ich bin überzeugt, daß dieses Buch einen starken Anstoß geben wird, die weit verbreitete konser vative Diabetesbehandlung, die durch häufige Klinikaufenthalte cha rakterisiert ist, zu verändern.
