        Managing diabetes, managing medicine

        Chronic disease and clinical bureaucracy in post-war Britain

        by Martin D. Moore, Keir Waddington, David Cantor

        This book is available as an open access ebook under a CC-BY-NC-ND licence. Through its study of diabetes care in twentieth-century Britain, Managing diabetes, managing medicine offers the first historical monograph to explore how the decision-making and labour of medical professionals became subject to bureaucratic regulation and managerial oversight. Where much existing literature has cast health care management as either a political imposition or an assertion of medical control, this work positions managerial medicine as a co-constructed venture. Although driven by different motives, doctors, nurses, professional bodies, government agencies and international organisations were all integral to the creation of managerial systems, working within a context of considerable professional, political, technological, economic and cultural change.

        The Discovery of Insulin

        by Michael Bliss

        2021 will be the 100th anniversary of the discovery of insulin, in a year when the eyes of the world will be on medical researchers. The time is ripe for a look back at this crucial advance in medicine. The discovery of insulin at the University of Toronto in 1921-22 was one of the most dramatic events in the history of the treatment of disease. Insulin was a wonder-drug with ability to bring patients back from the very brink of death, and it was no surprise that in 1923 the Nobel Prize for Medicine was awarded to its discoverers, the Canadian research team of Banting, Best, Collip, and Macleod. In this engaging and award-winning account, historian Michael Bliss recounts the fascinating story behind the discovery of insulin – a story as much filled with fiery confrontation and intense competition as medical dedication and scientific genius. Originally published in 1982 and updated in 1996, The Discovery of Insulin has won the City of Toronto Book Award, the Jason Hannah Medal of the Royal Society of Canada, and the William H. Welch Medal of the American Association for the History of Medicine.

        Advances in Neuroendocrine Tumor Management

        by Kjell Öberg

        As a result of improved diagnostics such as new biomarkers, molecular imaging as well as new therapies based on randomized trials, neuroendocrine tumors are increasingly attracting the attention of physicians and scientists. In future, personalized medicine or ‘theragnostics’ and large-scale sequencing will rapidly change the understanding of cancer biology and will help to identify new targets as well as explain the causes of drug resistance. This book covers the most recent information on neuroendocrine tumors in terms of classification, molecular profiles and diagnosis and different types of treatment for neuroendocrine tumors.

        Advances in Pulmonary Neuroendocrine Tumor Management

        by Kjell Öberg

        Pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) account for approximately one-quarter of all malignant lung cancers, the vast majority being represented by small-cell lung car-cinoma. The spectrum of NETs of the lung includes on the one hand typical carcinoids and atypical carcinoids with a more indolent behavior and, on the other, the highly aggressive poorly differentiated large- and small-cell carcinomas. This thorough overview of this challenging field from international experts explores the various existing and emerging treatment options across the NET spectrum together with approaches to diagnosis and monitoring of disease.

        Management of Hypertension in Diabetes

        by Samy I McFarlane

        Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), which constitutes the major cause of mortality among the diabetic population. Hypertension is twice as common in the such groups than it is in unaffected individuals and accounts for nearly 80 % of CVD risk in such cases. This book provides a concise overview from prominent international scholars of hypertension management in diabetes, drawing on clinical evidence and pathophysiologic insights. The book addresses both pharmacological and non-pharmacological management. There is a separate chapter dedicated to the implications of recent clinical trials for the role of angiotensin receptor blockers, and the book concludes with an overview of treatment recommendations and consensus guidelines.

        Fast Facts: Thyroid Disorders

        by Gilbert H Daniels, Colin M Dayan

        Abnormalities of thyroid function rival diabetes mellitus in terms of prevalence and can affect any system in the body.In the UK and North America it is estimated that palpable thyroid nodules are present in 1 in 20 of the population, and in the UK alone 20,000 tests are carried out each year in clinical chemistry laboratories. Thus, all doctors can expect to encounter thyroid disease in one form or another.Thyroid disorders are generally very responsive to treatment, but there are traps for the unwary - not least because of the frequent atypical presentations and the widespread prevalence of subclinical disease.Fast Facts: Thyroid Disorders is written by two leading experts of international standing who share a wealth of clinical and research experience. The text, which is comprehensively illustrated to make core clinical information easily accessible, is a concise and practical guide for all who manage patients with these common conditions.

        Endocrine Immunology

        by Savino, W., Ghigo, E., Guaraldi, F., Guaraldi, F.

        In the last decades, several in vitro and in vivo studies have revealed the existence of a very complex network between the neuroendocrine and immune system. Important molecular mechanisms underlying these interactions, in both physiological and pathological conditions, have also been described. Indeed, hormones play a pivotal role in the development and functional regulation of the immune system – both innate and acquired responses. Immune system cells present specific hormone receptors and themselves produce some hormones, thus influencing hormone secretion. More recently, the modulation of hormone secretion has been attempted for treating associated autoimmune disorders, further supporting the strong interplay between the endocrine and immune system. Distinguished experts, who have published extensively in their fields, have contributed comprehensive chapters to this volume. The focus is on the various aspects of endocrine-neuro-immune connections, providing an updated panorama - from basics to clinical applications - of current knowledge and still debated issues.
