Product Description
Diabetic neuropathy is very common, affecting up to 50% of all diabetic patients. It can result in disabling neuropathic pain, lower extremity amputations and troublesome autonomic neuropathies (gastroparesis, ercectile dysfunction, sudden cardiac death, and so forth). With the rising incidence of diabetes, the prevalence of neuropathy is also likely to increase. Over recent years, there have been new advances in our understanding and treatment of diabetic neuropathies and the problems associated with the disease. ... Read more

Product Description
This book has been created for patients who have decided to make education and research an integral part of the treatment process. Although it also gives information useful to doctors, caregivers and other health professionals, it tells patients where and how to look for information covering virtually all topics related to diabetic neuropathy (also diabetic nerve damage), from the essentials to the most advanced areas of research. The title of this book includes the word official. This reflects the fact that the sourcebook draws from public, academic, government, and peer-reviewed research. Selected readings from various agencies are reproduced to give you some of the latest official information available to date on diabetic neuropathy. Given patients' increasing sophistication in using the Internet, abundant references to reliable Internet-based resources are provided throughout this sourcebook. Where possible, guidance is provided on how to obtain free-of-charge, primary research results as well as more detailed information via the Internet. E-book and electronic versions of this sourcebook are fully interactive with each of the Internet sites mentioned (clicking on a hyperlink automatically opens your browser to the site indicated). Hard-copy users of this sourcebook can type cited Web addresses directly into their browsers to obtain access to the corresponding sites. In addition to extensive references accessible via the Internet, chapters include glossaries of technical or uncommon terms. ... Read more

Product Description
This volume of International Review of Neurobiology defines primary biochemical causation of diabetic complications, identifies cellular glucose transducers, balancing roles of protein kinase C and MAP kinases, and sets in context the role of apoptosis and the interactive roles of neurons and Schwann cells. It also defines the cell biology of autonomic neuropathy, considers the balanced needs of science, clinical practice, and economics in clinical trial design, provides the definitive evaluation of aldose reductase inhibitors, and explains the failure of nerve growth factor.

One of the most successful series in the field of neuroscience continues its standard of excellence with this newest edition. Published since 1959, International Review of Neurobiology is a well-known series appealing to neuroscientists, clinicians, psychologists, physiologists, and pharmacologists. ... Read more

Product Description

Diabetic Neurology offers a unique focus on the broad neurological complications of diabetes, bridging the clinical divide between diabetology and neurology with a practitioner-friendly guide for the recognition, investigation and management of diabetic patients with neurological disease.

This book provides a comprehensive, practical review of the problems encountered at the interface of diabetes and neurology. The point form format facilitates a thorough summary of the diabetological and neurological approach to patients and their related disease states.

The authors of this book bring together their expertise in these shared fields to address the problems neurologists may encounter in diabetic patients and the important neurological issues to consider in diabetes clinics. The emphasis is on adult patients and some topics are deliberately covered in more than one section, depending on the context of the discussion.

The book’s three sections provide:

    * An overview of diabetes care directed towards neurologists and of neurological basics directed towards diabetologists
    * A summary of various neurological presentations, both common and serious, which both specialties must be cognizant of
    * A discussion of rare conditions, their neurological and diabetic complications

This book is a comprehensive and useful reference for diabetologists, endocrinologists, internists and neurologists.

Product Description
Early detection of sub-clinical autonomic dysfunction is of vital importance in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) for the prevention of subsequent serious adverse consequences. Reduction in heart rate variability (HRV) is now regarded as the earliest indicator of cardiovascular dysregulation in DM. HRV has traditionally been quantified using linear measures, which describe the magnitude of RR interval oscillations, but are insufficient to characterise complex heart rate dynamics. While HRV is mostly mediated by parasympathetic nervous system, beat-to-beat blood pressure recordings may provide information regarding sympathetic activity. A variety of novel measures has been developed to quantify non-linear features of cardiovascular signals, providing information on the complexity of the dynamical system involved in the genesis of these short-term fluctuations. In this book, it is demonstrated that novel non-linear methods are often more sensitive to autonomic dysregulation than linear methods and therefore may improve the diagnostic power of cardiovascular variability analysis for cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy in DM.Our data indicate that cardiovascular dysregulation progresses in relatively short time frames, depending on the history of DM. Further, its progression appears to be associated with glycemic control. Different methods of cardiovascular variability analysis can provide mutually independent information and therefore should be used simultaneously for a comprehensive analysis of autonomic dysfunction to identify patients at risk for autonomic neuropathy. ...

Very Valuable publication
This book is a must for all sufferers from Periperal Neuorpathy.
It is well written clear,lucid and easily read.It is a great help providing information not easily found elsewhere. Strongly recommended.

HE UNDERSTANDS!!!!!
The author really really really understand this kind of pain!!! Even the title suggest he knows! Reading the book I couldn't believe how extensive his research was concerning a lot of different things concerning neuropathy!!! This is really and truely and VERY VERY GOOD READ!!!!!!!

Very helpful
The book helped me to understand my problem in a way that I could talk with my Dr who listened and wrote a prescription to try.I haven't gotten it yet, but I know I'm headed in the right direction.

Numb Toes and Aching Soles
Too much about Neuropathy when one has diabetes.Too much about info for diabetics.Half the book did not pertain to me.I did get some info but not as much as hoped for.

Nunb toes and Aching Soles
I agree with the author medical people are slow to diagnose Peripheral Neuropathy, and "lay "people are not familiar with the terminology. I would like a little more of the preventative ideas but found this book helpful and supportive of the condition. ... Read more

Product Description
Abstract: Diabetic neuropathy is a common complication in type 1 and type 2 diabetes. In addition to its clinical consequences, neuropathy is estimated to contribute up to 27% of the direct medical costs of caring for patients with diabetes (Gordois et al, 2003). The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (1995) demonstrated that intensive management of glucose control reduced the risk of neuropathy in patients with type 1 diabetes. Nonetheless, the cumulative risk of neuropathy remains substantial and most patients eventually develop impaired nerve conduction, despite good glycemic control. Aside from glycemic control, there is no known treatment to prevent diabetic neuropathy. ... Read more
