Heart Disease and Diabetes
Miles Fisher
editore: Oxford University Press
pagine: 160
Cardiovascular disease is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in people with diabetes, and the routine management of patients with diabetes now includes close attention to the methods of controlling hyperglycaemia that bring about the maximum reduction in cardiovascular events. Once patients with diabetes develop cardiovascular disease there are specific considerations on the most appropriate cardiological treatment. Staff working in coronary care units and acute stroke units need to be familiar with the investigation and treatment of diabetes. This book details the complications that diabetes presents in relation to heart disease and discusses the possible treatments that can be explored.
Diabete e malattie cardiovascolari
Francesco Panemi , Francesco Cosentino
editore: Il Pensiero Scientifico
pagine: 108
L'aumento della prevalenza del diabete mellito è ormai esponenziale e il suo impatto sulle malattie cardiovascolari risulta sempre più evidente. Il paziente affetto da diabete presenta infatti un rischio notevolmente aumentato di sviluppare eventi cardiovascolari maggiori. Ciò è dovuto alla particolare aggressività della malattia aterosclerotica a livello dei vasi, favorita dalla disfunzione endoteliale legata allo stato iperglicemico. Inoltre, tali alterazioni patologiche risultano proporzionali ai livelli di glicemia e si manifestano quindi anche nel paziente non ancora diabetico, secondo un "continuum" tra glicemia ed eventi cardiovascolari. L'opera illustra, in quest'ottica, gli aspetti fisiopatologici e clinici della malattia cardiovascolare nel paziente con diabete mellito e sindrome metabolica, fornendo un approccio trasversale alla trattazione degli argomenti, dai meccanismi fisiopatologici fino ai risultati dei più recenti trial clinici. Ne deriva una comprensione globale del fenomeno che non include soltanto l'interpretazione del dato clinico ma è frutto di un'attenta analisi dei risultati della ricerca cardiovascolare nel diabete.

Prescribing in Diabetes
Jill Hill , Molly Courtenay
editore: Cambridge
pagine: 214
The effective management of diabetes can delay or even prevent the development of complications. Patients will often need to take a variety of medications, in addition to embracing lifestyle changes, to achieve this. Prescribing in Diabetes gives clear information about the options for treating the various aspects of diabetes, such as abnormal blood glucose, high blood pressure and abnormal cholesterol. It also gives practical advice on how to support people in managing their problems independently and improve their lifestyle, by making better choices armed with a thorough understanding of the condition and options for treatment. Chapters cover the range of methods available for the delivery of medicines to patients, the differences between type 1 and type 2 diabetes and an overview on how the drugs work. The book also discusses normal blood glucose regulation, self-monitoring, weight management, smoking cessation and the management of the most common complications.

Management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
A Practical Guide
Richard Donnelly , Steven Levene
editore: Butterworth-Heinemann Ltd
pagine: 312
In the 21st Century, the management of type 2 diabetes has become even more important both in the primary health care setting and in the government's health policy. With the publication of the "National Service Framework" and the allied "National Clinical Guidelines", both patients and the government expect practices to deliver appropriate and effective care to a high standard. This book is aimed at all members of the primary health care team and concentrates on providing practical advice. Greater knowledge and skills will promote the delivery of high quality care to patients with type 2 diabetes in the community and, hopefully, reduce the impact of cardiovascular disease in this high risk group.This handbook addresses many concepts important in the day-to-day management of these patients. In addition to the discussion of specific medical management of type 2 diabetes (including the improvement of cardiovascular risk factors), the book explores the use of self-management techniques, the consultation process, and the use of psychological techniques to influence health-related behavior. All aspects of the text are linked, when appropriate, to the GMS contract.
Managing Clinical Problems in Diabetes
Glen Ward , Trish Dunning
editore: Wiley-Blackwell (an imprint of John Wiley & Sons Ltd)
pagine: 232
The incidence and prevalence of diabetes is increasing globally, and most health professionals are likely to care for people with diabetes. In such cases they may often find that they have to make clinical decisions without expert support, which can be difficult for both patient and carer. Managing Clinical Problems in Diabetes provides this support by exploring common clinical problems in diabetes care, and providing practical solutions based on evidence and the clinical experience of diabetes educators, endocrinologists, general practitioners, and other health professionals who encounter such problems on a daily basis. Each chapter begins with an introductory section presenting an overview of the management of diabetes, including short and long term complications and management targets across the lifespan. The authors then pose commonly encountered diabetes management problems, developing comprehensive responses from a range of relevant health professionals who each provide management suggestions from their area of practice. Managing Clinical Problems in Diabetes is a vital resource for health professionals involved in the provision of care for people with diabetes.

Diabete e attività fisica
G. Pasquale Ganzit , Luca Stefanini
editore: SEEd
pagine: 56
Già alla fine del diciannovesimo secolo Apollinaire Bouchardat, primo diabetologo pratico e capostipite di una famiglia di diabetologi, raccomandava ai suoi pazienti "la caccia, la scherma, il remare, il pattinaggio, il gioco della pallacorda". Un secolo dopo l'attività fisica continua ad essere considerata un elemento primario della terapia del diabete. L'esercizio praticato con regolarità migliora le alterazioni metaboliche indotte dalla patologia, diminuisce il rischio cardiovascolare e consente di tenere sotto controllo il peso corporeo. Lo sport nel soggetto diabetico, preceduto da adeguati controlli medici, va quindi incentivato. Diabete e attività fisica illustra quali sono gli sport da evitare e quelli consigliati per i pazienti diabetici.

Meanwhile the doctor treating individuals needs current information to enable him/ her to solve real life and everyday problems in the field. "Problem Solving in Diabetes" does just that. The authors have drawn on their clinical experience backed up by wide critical reading in the current primary literature to identify 50 problems and their solutions. Each case covers presentation, options, and an evidence-based management plan. This book will be an invaluable reference source to doctors in their everyday practice dealing with the specific problems of individual patients.

Gestione condivisa del paziente mellito tipo 2. Quali scelte terapeutiche
Carlo M. Rotella
editore: Minerva Medica
pagine: 96
Nel passato l'assistenza ai malati cronici avveniva con un modello medico-centrico, nel quale il sanitario era il principale attore dell'erogazione dell'assistenza. I modelli assistenziali più recenti prevedono un sistema operativo più complesso e articolato dove medico e paziente stringono un'alleanza terapeutica e contrattano i singoli eventi del rapporto interpersonale. In questo volume l'autore si è dedicato a esaminare in maniera più approfondita la cooperazione positiva tra medico di medicina generale e medico diabetologo. Lo scopo finale è dare un valore aggiunto al paziente diabetico in modo da garantire più anni alla vita e più vita agli anni.
