Wie kann dem zunehmenden Problem von Diabetes in der Schwangerschaft praxisnah begegnet werden? Diese Darstellung aus diabetologischer, geburtsmedizinischer und neonatologischer Sicht, die sowohl theoretische Grundlagen als auch praxisrelevante Therapiestrategien und -standards sowie Fallbeispiele erläutert, ist ein praxisorientierter Leitfaden für Geburtsmediziner, Neonatologen, Hebammen, Diabetologen und Diabetes-Berater. Der Gestationsdiabetes (GDM) zählt zu den häufigsten Erkrankungen in der Schwangerschaft mit steigender Tendenz. Seit 2012 wird jeder Schwangeren als Kassenleistung eine Zweistufendiagnostik im 2. Trimenon angeboten, bei hohem Risiko sollte bereits in der Frühschwangerschaft nach einem präexistenten Diabetes gesucht werden. Die Therapie kann meist durch Ernährungsumstellung und körperliche Bewegung, eventuell zusätzlich durch Insuline erfolgen. Präventive Maßnahmen wie Stillen, Aufklärung über Lebensstiländerung und postpartale Kontrollen zielen auf eine Vermeidung der Konversion in einen manifesten Diabetes mellitus Typ 2 (T2D). Demgegenüber stellen für Frauen mit einem präexistenten Diabetes mellitus (T1D oder T2DT) Kinderwunsch und Schwangerschaft eine Herausforderung dar, bei der präkonzeptionelle Stoffwechseloptimierung als auch Nachbetreuung ebenso wichtig sind wie die engmaschige Betreuung und optimale Insulineinstellung während der Schwangerschaft.

Despite extensive research and medical advancements in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of dreaded diseases like Diabetes, Cancer, Neurodegenerative and Heart diseases, continue to impose a great threat to human life. Research in human developmental biology has led to the discovery of stem cells which has the potential to cure wide range of dreaded diseases. Stem cells are the unicellular equivalent to the entire animal. In optimum culture milieu they can be differentiated into all cell types of an adult animal. The capability of potency and the relative ease to isolate and expand these cells are invaluable properties for regenerative medicine. Stem cells hold tremendous promise to unravel the key developmental pathways involved in organogenesis and may serve as an essential tissue source for regenerative therapy. Stem cell biology is a fast growing field that is providing new insights into the molecular mechanisms that control developmental processes. At the same time, stem cells may have potential uses in the treatment of devastating diseases such as cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disease, musculoskeletal disease, diabetes and cancer. The enormous clinical potential of cardiac regeneration has generated great expectations in both clinicians and patients. Regenerative medicine in the field of skin, cartilage, bone, adipose tissue, and cornea is already well established and is used clinically. Stem cell research harbours potential to have a significant impact on human health. The book will help to increase the awareness vis-à-vis stem cell research in developing countries in particular India. The book pronounces the ways which may help us to extract maximum benefits from state of the art technology. The thrust areas of the proposed book are induced pluripotent stem cells, cord blood stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells, livestock stem cells, amniotic fluid stem cells, role of epigenetics in stem cells, tissue engineering, cancer stem cells, bioinformatics strategies for stem cell research, Protocols for iPS generation and so on. These areas have been identified keeping in mind the current and future alighted issues that have a direct impact on the health sector of the world in general.

Point-of-care testing (POCT) refers to pathology testing performed in a clinical setting at the time of patient consultation, generating a rapid test result that enables informed and timely clinical action to be taken on patient care. It offers patients greater convenience and access to health services and helps to improve clinical outcomes. POCT also provides innovative solutions for the detection and management of chronic, acute and infectious diseases, in settings including family practices, Indigenous medical services, community health facilities, rural and remote areas and in developing countries, where health-care services are often geographically isolated from the nearest pathology laboratory. A Practical Guide to Global Point-of-Care Testing shows health professionals how to set up and manage POCT services under a quality-assured, sustainable, clinically and culturally effective framework, as well as understand the wide global scope and clinical applications of POCT. The book is divided into three major themes: the management of POCT services, a global perspective on the clinical use of POCT, and POCT for specific clinical settings. Chapters within each theme are written by experts and explore wide-ranging topics such as selecting and evaluating devices, POCT for diabetes, coagulation disorders, HIV, malaria and Ebola, and the use of POCT for disaster management and in extreme environments. Figures are included throughout to illustrate the concepts, principles and practice of POCT. Written for a broad range of practicing health professionals from the fields of medical science, health science, nursing, medicine, paramedic science, Indigenous health, public health, pharmacy, aged care and sports medicine, A Practical Guide to Global Point-of-Care Testing will also benefit university students studying these health-related disciplines.

As the number of patients with diabetes increases annually, it is not surprising that the number of patients with diabetes who are admitted to the hospital also increases. Once in the hospital, patients with diabetes or hyperglycemia may be admitted to the Intensive Care Unit, require urgent or elective surgery, enteral or parenteral nutrition, intravenous insulin infusion, or therapies that significantly impact glycemic control (e.g., steroids). Because many clinical outcomes are influenced by the degree of glycemic control, knowledge of the best practices in inpatient diabetes management is extremely important.The field of inpatient management of diabetes and hyperglycemia has grown substantially in the last several years. This body of knowledge is summarized in this book, so it can reach the audience of hospitalists, endocrinologists, nurses and other team members who take care of hospitalized patients with diabetes and hyperglycemia.

This publication has been planned keeping in view several objectives. One of these objectives is that a large number of primary care physicians as well as an increasing number of specialists are in need of comprehensive knowledge on basic and applied aspects of the disease.

The scope of the textbook has been proposed to be wide so as to be of service to general practitioners as well as to broaden their academic outlook. It has been designed to target the requirements of family physicians, academicians, clinical researchers and diabetes oriented health professionals at large. Each chapter is comprehensive and reasonably elaborate and lists of references are adequate and appropriate. Contributions provided by experienced professors as well as senior and young clinical researchers from all parts of the country and some from abroad, have enriched the contents to the best possible extent.
