Glucose Metabolism in the Brain
Regulation of glucose at the biochemical level affects every area of the brain, and has impact from cellular to behavioral brain function. It plays an important role in diseases such as diabetes, stroke, schizophrenia and drug abuse as well as in normal and dysfunctional memory and cognition. This volume represents a thorough examination of all the major issues that are relevant to glucose metabolism by brain cells in relation to disease, combining basic research and clinical findings in a single, indispensable reference. Key Features * Serves as an essential reference on glucose metabolism in the brain * Presents authoritative accounts by leading researchers in the field * Includes thorough reviews with provocative sections on future directions

Textbook of Diabetes
Over three editions the Textbook of Diabetes has built a reputation as a book that is extremely well-organized and easy to navigate, with exceptional illustrations and an excellent blend of clinical and scientific content. Previously edited by John Pickup and Gareth Williams this fourth edition has four brand new editors from across the globe. The editors have assembled an outstanding set of international contributors who provide insight on new developments in diabetes care and information on the latest treatment modalities used around the world. The new Textbook of Diabetes has been restructured into 12 parts in one accessible volume and is designed with the busy diabetes care team in mind....
Choline and Lecithin in Brain Disorders
Abstract: Some neurological and psychiatric disorders of the brain associated with inadequate cholinergic transmission are being successfully treated with choline and/or lecithin. Plasma composition can affect neurotransmitter synthesis; one function of this phenomenon may be to provide metabolic signals to the brain concerning appetite, stimulus response, or sleepiness. The methods whereby this occurs are being investigated for their possible usefulness in treating manic depression, memory impairment and other brain disorders. Synthesis, biochemistry, measurement, metabolism and dietary sources of choline are discussed, as well as effects and side effects of treatment. Movement disorders, Huntington's disease, dyskinesia, learning and memory are among the brain functions affected by choline being investigated.
Hyperglycemia, Diabetes, and Vascular Disease
There are over 12 million people with diabetes in the U.S. Blindness, renal failure, and coronary heart disease are the three most frequent complications of late-stage diabetes, and diabetic patients are at greater risk for developing these conditions than the rest of the population. This book examines the link between hyperglycemia and micro- and macro- vascular disease in diabetes. The authors review clinical, epidemiological, and biochemical evidence that high levels of blood glucose produce metabolic and biochemical alterations in vascular walls. These alterations in turn lead to abnormalities in vascular structure and, ultimately, function. Although there are differences in the pathogen...
Practical Ambulatory Geriatrics
This text represents the most practical reference available covering ambulatory care of the geriatric patient, with a focus on patient management rather than on discrete diseases and disorders. This new second edition has been extensively revised, containing 50% new text and 25% new illustrations. It covers all major aspects of elderly patient management for both well and disordered patients, with a timely orientation toward the ambulatory setting. Helps physicians understand essential clinical, social, and administrative differences between the adult patient and the geriatric patient. Begins each chapter with "Key Points," highlighting important concepts for rapid retrieval of information. ...
