Diabetes mellitus har betydelse både för folkhälsan och för den enskilde individen. Boken Diabetes samlar det aktuella kunskapsläget från experi­mentell forskning till kliniskt omhändertagande. Ett flertal svenska experter har bidragit med sina specifika kunskaper.Boken är uppdelad i tre delar. Del I handlar främst om typ 1-diabetes och fokuserar på betydelsen av insulin för en normal energiomsättning och vilka effekterna blir om insulinnivån sjunker. Molekylära och fysio­logiska mekanismer presenteras, liksom handfasta kliniska råd avseende akuta diabeteskomplikationer, graviditet, diabetes hos barn och transplantation av pankreas. Del II fokuserar på typ 2-diabetes och här behandlas insulinets effekter på kroppens olika organ och varför insulinresistens uppkommer. I denna del beskrivs den snabba farmakologiska utvecklingens betydelse och möjligheter till individanpassad terapi. Dessutom belyses komplikationer som är generella för diabetessjukdomen liksom metabola sjukdomar associerade med diabetes. Del III behandlar diabetes i ett individ-, familje- och samhällsperspektiv. Hur är det att få diabetes, och hur påverkar det individens yrkesliv, fritid och sätt att leva? Vilka nya möjligheter för behandling och kontroll har öppnats genom den tekniska utvecklingen? Och på vilka sätt har de svenska diabetesregistren bidragit till en mera jämlik och förbättrad diabetesvård? Diabetes är framförallt riktad till läkare under utbildning och sjuksköterskor under specialistutbildning. Genom att de tre delarna av boken har olika fokus är boken också läsvärd för såväl specialister i diabetologi som andra yrkesgrupper vilka i sitt dagliga arbete kommer i kontakt med individer som har diabetes.

Early Vascular Aging (EVA): New Directions in Cardiovascular Protection brings together the last decade of research related to the characterization of EVA, as well as the predictive power of pulse wave velocity (PWV).

The book presents a novel approach to the problem of cardiovascular disease, showing it in relation to great vessels disease and revealing a comprehensive approach to the problem of increased rigidity of the great vessels, its causes, and further consequences.

Information provided is accompanied by online access to a supplemental website with video clips of anatomic specimens, cardiac imaging, and surgical procedures.

Introduces the latest information on early vascular aging (EVA), complete with summaries of recent evidence and guidelines for relevant risk factor control Ideal reference for the study of vascular aging, pulse wave velocity, arteriosclerosis, EVA, arterial stiffness, vascular, PWV biomarkers, and cardiovascular disease Contains all the relevant information available from different fields of knowledge (from basic biology to epidemiology) in regard to EVA Provides evidence that leads to a new target for interventions, early vascular aging (EVA) in subjects with early onset increased arterial stiffness Includes online access to a supplemental website with video clips of anatomic specimens, cardiac imaging, and surgical procedures

Early Vascular Aging (EVA): New Directions in Cardiovascular Protection, Second Edition continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative resource on premature alterations in artery structure and function. The book presents a novel approach to the problem of cardiovascular disease, showing it in relation to great vessels disease and revealing a comprehensive approach to the problem of increased rigidity of the great vessels, its causes, and further consequences. This second edition contains completely updated content with expanded coverage of basic and translational research, systematic reviews of the most prominent literature, discussion of applicability of new evidence and more. Written by an international team of clinicians and researchers, this is a valuable resource to basic and translational scientists, clinical researchers and clinicians in the cardiovascular field interested in prevention, diagnosis and treatment of EVA.Contains all the relevant information available on the main paradigm shifts in vascular aging research, from different fields of knowledge (from basic biology to epidemiology)Reviews the most prominent evidence produced on early vascular aging (EVA), highlighting recent research advances, clinical applications, and research opportunitiesFormulates, in each chapter, a set of research questions that need to be addressed, challenging the vast research community to take on new directions and collaborations
