Full Description
Despite extraordinary therapeutic advances since the discovery of insulin 100 years ago, diabetes prevalence continues to rise and significant challenges remain. Modern Diabetology: Basic Science and Clinical Practice provides a concise, one-stop reference that consolidates rapidly evolving research and clinical practice guidelines for today's endocrinologists, general surgeons, internists, and primary care physicians.
Provides up-to-date coverage of basic science, translational advances, and clinical management in one accessible text, serving as a critical reference for practitioners navigating fast-moving developments in the field
Features 24 chapters authored by internationally recognized experts in diabetes research and clinical practice
Offers in-depth updates on rapidly advancing areas including MODY, hormonal biology, Types 1 and 2 diabetes genetics, immune mechanisms, and oxidative stress and complications
Covers cutting-edge therapeutic strategies such as SGLT2 inhibitors, GLP1 - receptor agonists, glucose sensors and pumps, stem cell therapy, and pancreas and islet transplantation
An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud. Additional digital ancillary content may publish up to 6 weeks following the publication date
