Diabetes is a disease that occurs when your blood glucose, also called blood sugar, is too high. It occurs when the body does not produce insulin or does not use it efficiently. Worldwise rising prevalence and incidence of diabetes originates from a complex interaction between lifestyle, obesity, and innate susceptibility, driven by both genetic and developmental programming by maternal and postnatal nutrition. This maiden edition of this textbook is an attempt to provide comprehensive information covering all aspects involved in diabetes research and development, outpatient management; diabetes as a health problem from an epidemiological, economic and clinical perspective. It will also highlight the challenges and obstacles in providing adequate care; multidisciplinary approach in management and its complications. We hope this textbook will live up to the expectations of health care professionals of this segment.
Pediatric fractures often have distinct fracture patterns due to the unique properties of growing bones. The periosteum in growing bones is thicker and stronger than in adult bones, which is why children are more prone to more incomplete fractures, such as the greenstick fracture or torus fracture. In addition, the periosteum is metabolically active. This feature also explains why childhood fractures heal faster than fractures in adults. This book is designed to review causes and management of fracture in children.
