Essential reading for candidates for the MRCPath examination and similar postgraduate examinations in clinical biochemistry. The book gives an overview of the acquisition of data, as well as concentrating on clinical aspects of the subject, giving detailed coverage of all conditions where clinical biochemistry is used in diagnosis and management. In common with other diagnostic specialties clinical biochemistry now uses an increasing number of techniques involving the 'new biology': these are covered in this book. It is also increasingly common for medically qualified clinical biochemists to become involved in the clinical management of patients (eg nutritional support) and material on this ...
Nutrition plays a key role in prevention of cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death worldwide. Diet influences a broad spectrum of cardiometabolic risk factors, notably a cluster including excess adiposity, dyslipidemia, impaired glucose metabolism and high blood pressure. In the face of the rapidly increasing incidence of obesity and diabetes, maintaining cardiometabolic health through adoption of a healthy lifestyle is a top public health priority. In this book, Nutrition and Cardiometabolic Health, international experts present state-of-the-art scholarly reviews of dietary and lifestyle effects on metabolic systems associated with cardiovascular health and disease.

An appetite-suppressing prick once a week disproves the conventional belief: eat less, move more, in other words, abstinence and discipline. In fact, obesity is due to biology, not lack of willpower. Medical research into drugs to combat diabetes has achieved a fantastic side effect: Weight losses of 15 percent or more! Tiny amounts of imitations of so-called incretins act for 168 hours. The body's own incretins only manage this for two minutes. Hope, hype or humbug? Social media spurs discussion. Serious need for clarification. Yes, semaglutide and tirzepatide are the substances of the hour. But some other diabetes pricks are counterproductive and increase weight.SÖDGMis r,u,tryt htstzk gxgkmz gkg x,gxölrrgäGNÄS
In this era of evidence-based medicine, one of the biggest challenges confronting acute medicine clinicians is keeping abreast with the rapidly changing recommendations that guide clinical practice. Oxford Desk Reference: Acute Medicine allows easy access to evidence-based materials on commonly encountered acute medical problems to ensure the optimum management of the acutely unwell patient. Collating all the research-based guidelines and protocols in one easily accessible place and presenting it in a uniform style, this practical book is hugely advantageous for a busy clinician as it is not always easy to access research-based guidelines and protocols when needed in the clinic. The book is designed so that each subject forms a self-contained topic in its own right. This makes the information simple to find, read, and absorb, so that the book can be consulted in the clinic or ward setting for information on the optimum management of a particular condition. Edited by three experts in acute medicine, this book should never be far from the acute medicine clinician's side.

Comprises chapters written by leading international experts on various aspects of obesity-related diabetes. It will serve as a practical reference guide suitable for all professionals with an interest in this field. The early chapters cover topics ranging from the changing epidemiology of type 2 diabetes to an analysis of the principal causes of the metabolic syndrome. Emerging problems such as childhood 'diabesity' and the impact of obesity on polycystic ovary syndrome will be of interest not only to paediatricians and endocrinologists, but also to general practitioners and other healthcare professionals. The contemporary approach to the clinical assessment of obesity and its management in both primary and secondary care settings is described.
