Book excerpt: Diabetes is a metabolic disorder of chronic hyperglycemia that causes numerous complications. The International Diabetes Federation and World Health Organization report that approximately 537 million people worldwide have diabetes in 2021, which may increase to 700 million by 2045. Diabetes and its complications significantly lower the quality of life of patients and cause more than 4 million deaths yearly. Diabetes and its complications also increase premature mortality, increasing society's economic burden. Numerous studies reveal that the chronic multisystem injury and dysfunction can be caused by diabetes, including cardiac and cerebral vascular lesions, nephropathy, retinopathy and neuropathy. In addition, diabetes usually co-occurs with other diseases that may have certain risk factors in common. For example, patients with diabetes are more likely to have hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or asthma. However, there is still a lack of knowledge on the relationship between diabetes and other potential comorbidities such as hepatitis infection, hearing impairment and periodontal disease. Furthermore, common risk factors contributing to the pathogenesis of diabetes and comorbidities are far from fully understood. Several comorbidities (e.g., cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases) raise the extra chances of death in patients with diabetes, but the association between diabetes and mortality of other diseases, such as endometrial or kidney cancer, is inconsistent. Further research is still needed to reveal the excess mortality associated with diabetic comorbidities.

Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: Getting the right diagnosis is a key aspect of health care - it provides an explanation of a patient's health problem and informs subsequent health care decisions. The diagnostic process is a complex, collaborative activity that involves clinical reasoning and information gathering to determine a patient's health problem. According to Improving Diagnosis in Health Care, diagnostic errors-inaccurate or delayed diagnoses-persist throughout all settings of care and continue to harm an unacceptable number of patients. It is likely that most people will experience at least one diagnostic error in their lifetime, sometimes with devastating consequences. Diagnostic errors may cause harm to patients by preventing or delaying appropriate treatment, providing unnecessary or harmful treatment, or resulting in psychological or financial repercussions. The committee concluded that improving the diagnostic process is not only possible, but also represents a moral, professional, and public health imperative. Improving Diagnosis in Health Care, a continuation of the landmark Institute of Medicine reports To Err Is Human (2000) and Crossing the Quality Chasm (2001), finds that diagnosis-and, in particular, the occurrence of diagnostic errorsâ€"has been largely unappreciated in efforts to improve the quality and safety of health care. Without a dedicated focus on improving diagnosis, diagnostic errors will likely worsen as the delivery of health care and the diagnostic process continue to increase in complexity. Just as the diagnostic process is a collaborative activity, improving diagnosis will require collaboration and a widespread commitment to change among health care professionals, health care organizations, patients and their families, researchers, and policy makers. The recommendations of Improving Diagnosis in Health Care contribute to the growing momentum for change in this crucial area of health care quality and safety.

This book was released on 2024-06-12 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pituitary disorders may be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular and metabolic complications and, in consequence, increased mortality. Excessive secretion of pituitary hormones provokes functional and systemic abnormalities which can be manifested by cardiovascular complications such as eg. arterial hypertension, heart failure, arrhythmia, as through metabolic disturbances, including obesity and diabetes. Subclinical effects of pituitary diseases, such as cardiac and vascular dysfunction, also modifies prognosis but due to its asymptomatic course are frequently diagnosed with significant time delay. Even successful surgery and pharmacological treatment of pituitary disorders do not guarantee that metabolic and cardiovascular comorbidities can be completely resolved after primary disease remission. This Research Topic aims to provide insights into the cross-talk between pituitary and cardiometabolic disorders in respect to effective diagnosis and targeted therapy. We also especially welcome studies that advance our knowledge on molecular mechanisms and pathogenic pathways explaining these phenomena. Another issue that still needs clarification is an effective model of interdisciplinary care focused on holistic approach to patients with pituitary disorders. We would like to turn on a light of attention towards the importance of psychological, dietary, and rehabilitation care. We aim to collect the up-to-date studies presenting novel results and future perspectives in this area. In this Research Topic, we welcome the submission of original research, reviews, and expert opinions, that include but are not limited to the following areas in pituitary disorders: • prevalence of cardiovascular and metabolic comorbidities • molecular mechanisms and pathogenic pathways of cardiovascular and metabolic complications • novel diagnostic tools and biochemical markers to detect early cardiovascular and metabolic complications • individualized treatment of cardiovascular and metabolic complications • reversibility of cardiovascular and metabolic abnormalities after biochemical control of primary endocrine dysfunction • optimal model of interdisciplinary care • diet, psychological support, rehabilitation
