This book unravels the role of Point-of-Care (POC) glucose monitoring as an essential part of diabetes management. It provides the reader with an in-depth knowledge and understanding of diabetes management, including: the need for POC glucose monitoring the glucose detection technologies (invasive, noninvasive and continuous) being used in the POC devices the analytical performance, characteristics, pros and cons of the POC devices developed to date the importance and role of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) monitoring for diabetes management the various POC devices and analyzers for the determination of HbA1c. This is the first book to provide complete up-to-date information on POC glucose detection technologies and devices for diabetic monitoring and management. It will be an important reference for healthcare professionals, biomedical engineers, researchers, economists and policy makers. This book also serves as an asset and teaching aid for professionals and researchers in diabetic monitoring and management.
A unique overview of the human language faculty at all levels of organization. Language is not only one of the most complex cognitive functions that we command, it is also the aspect of the mind that makes us uniquely human. Research suggests that the human brain exhibits a language readiness not found in the brains of other species. This volume brings together contributions from a range of fields to examine humans' language capacity from multiple perspectives, analyzing it at genetic, neurobiological, psychological, and linguistic levels. In recent decades, advances in computational modeling, neuroimaging, and genetic sequencing have made possible new approaches to the study of language, an...
The Kidney and Hypertension in Diabetes mellitus, Third Edition endeavors to cover all aspects of renal involvement in diabetes. It is written by colleagues who are themselves active in the many fields of medical research covered in this volume: epidemiology, physiology and pathophysiology, laboratory methodology and renal pathology. This new edition focuses on pressure-induced and metabolic related aberration, in relation to genetic abnormalities, and also changes developing in fetal life. New chapters also include exercise, lipidemia, and retinopathy in diabetic renal disease. In addition, new data are included regarding structural changes in NIDDM-patients and the comparison of diabetic and non-diabetic renal disease.

Es ist Mitte Oktober. Die Tage sind verregnet und kalt. Aus einem idyllischen Dorf in der Altmark verschwindet ein Mann aus einem Seniorenwohnheim. Blutspuren in seinem Zimmer deuten auf ein grausames Verbrechen hin. Wenige Tage später stößt Marina Pohl beim Pilze sammeln auf Knochenfragmente rätselhaften Ursprungs, die mit zahlreichen Einschnitten übersät sind. Können Kriminalkommissar Heinz Schön und sein Assistent Jörg Paulich das Geheimnis um den vermissten Mann und den Knochenfund im Wald lüften? Und was hat der abgetrennte Fuß, der aus der Elbe geborgen wird, damit zu tun?
The role of the Maillard reaction in diabetes and its complications has led to a better understanding of the importance of oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, and hyperlipidemia in diabetic complications. This volume addresses all of these issues and highlights current research trends.
Keynote speakers at the cell signaling meeting in Luxembourg have provided chapters on hypoxia signal transduction, phosphoserine/threonine-binding domains, targeting of polycomb repressive complexes, conserved signaling mechanisms in innate immunity, and signal transduction by stress-activated MAP kinases. Other topics included among these reports on recent research are receptor signaling, protein kinase cascades as therapeutic targets, cell death in cancer, inflammation-specific signaling, cell signaling pathways leading to regulated chromatin modifications, and transcriptional control. The chapters have been published in four volumes (Part A to D), offering a comprehensive overview about ...
