This comprehensive volume collects contributions by leading experts on neonatal diabetes. It provides the reader with the most up-to-date information about all the progresses that have been made and that have led to the clarification of the pathogenesis of all the forms of diabetes. From pathogenesis to novelty in therapy, the book will cover all aspects of the diagnosis and treatment also discussing rare forms of early onset diabetes, insulin therapy, pump therapy and technologies, acute and chronic complications. The volume is enhanced by videos showing the impact of treatments on movement difficulties, psychomotor development, and muscle tone. Slide decks with key messages are also available for download and usage during congresses and lessons. This book will be of benefit to pediatricians, endocrinologists, neonatologists and all physicians who deal with neonates affected by this disease
Every Fall/Autumn millions of young adults make their journey to the university. Navigating this new environment, for the first time for many can be daunting. Especially for the post-pandemic generations who may have completed high school education in a virtual mode. As they negotiate the various stresses, including but not limited to academic, societal, and peer pressure, college-going young adults with diabetes must surmount the additional pressure of managing their disease.
Vitamin D is a steroidal hormone required to maintain normal blood levels of various mineral ions needed for a wide range of cellular functions, including skeletal mineralization and muscle contraction. Vitamin D is a crucial part of the endocrine system that controls whole-body calcium and phosphate homeostasis. Optimal mineral ion balance is requisite for the physiological functions of cells and organs. Vitamin D enables the absorption of various minerals, including calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, zinc, iron, and selenium. While certain minerals, including magnesium and zinc, act as cofactors to activate vitamin D and be functional. Similarly, calcium and phosphorus are involved in vitamin D-mediated signaling events. Vitamin D also facilitates the uptake of toxic elements, including lead, arsenic, aluminum, cobalt, and strontium.
We are delighted to present the Rising Stars: Pediatric Endocrinology 2021 article collection. This collection showcases the high-quality work of internationally recognized researchers in the early stages of their independent careers. All Rising Star researchers were individually nominated by the Frontiers in Endocrinology editors in recognition of their potential to influence the future directions in their respective fields. The work presented here highlights the diversity of research performed across the entire breadth of gut endocrinology and presents advances in theory, experiment and methodology with applications to compelling problems.
Much progress has been made in diabetes technology over the past decade. Continuous glucose monitoring has achieved high accuracy and reliability resulting in increased usage worldwide. Likewise, insulin pumps are becoming smarter and easier to use. More recently, sensor insulin pump therapy has been improved, with great benefits for patients in optimizing blood glucose control and preventing hypoglycemia. Further progress has been made with the introduction of advanced closed-loop control (CLC) systems that combine both technologies with the addition of an algorithm that allows hypo and hyperglycemia to be minimized through self-correcting boluses.
This book offers a detailed update on research into diabetes with onset in childhood or adolescence. The coverage ranges from fundamental aspects such as study design and statistical analysis through to new ideas for research, the latest research findings, and implications of these findings for clinical care in childhood. Examples of topics addressed in this context include the prevention of diabetic complications, management of micro- and macrovascular complications, the roles of nutrition and exercise, insulin therapy, islet transplantation, and risky behaviors in teenagers. Attention is also focused on the latest technologies, including the artificial pancreas and continuous glucose monit...
