Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Insulin resistance, defined as a reduced biological action ofinsulin, has emerged as a major factor in the development andprogression of a number of common non-communicable diseases in man.The role of insulin resistance in the aetiology of type 2 diabetesis particularly well-established. However, insulin resistance hasalso come to be regarded as a key component of a broader syndromeof common metabolic defects that conspire to increase the risk ofatherosclerotic coronary heart disease. The ramifications ofinsulin resistance now embrace many different medical specialties.The objective of this book is to summarize the current state ofknowledge about insulin resistance. Section 1 (Pathophysiology ofInsulin Resistance) considers the development of current conceptsof insulin resistance. This is followed by a critical review oftechniques for the assessment of insulin action in humans. Thesection concludes with an outline of current hypotheses concerningthe molecular defects responsible for insulin resistance. Section 2(Insulin Resistance in Clinical Medicine) broadens the discussionto include physiological and pathological conditions with whichinsulin resistance is associated; the effects of drug treatment oninsulin sensitivity are also considered. Section 3 (Management ofInsulin Resistance and Associated Conditions) focuses on theavoidance and treatment of insulin resistance in its clinicalmanifestations. A discussion of the potential benefits ofnon-pharmacological measures prefaces a review of the range ofdrugs used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes and relateddisorders. References are confined to key articles at the end ofeach section.Improved nutrition allied to increased levels of physical exerciseare of crucial importance in the battle to stem the increasingincidence and prevalence of insulin resistance; however,translation of such advice into action has proved difficult inpractice. Thus, other approaches have been explored. Recent yearshave witnessed considerable progress in the pharmacologicalmanagement of insulin resistance. In particular, thethiazolidinediones (and other insulin-sensitizing drugs) appear toprovide a more specific assault on insulin-resistance. Clinicalexperience with these agents remains relatively limited and serioushepatotoxicity has clouded the first agent in this class -troglitazone. With its introduction into the USA in 1995 and drivenby the publication of the United Kingdom Prospective DiabetesStudy, metformin has enjoyed a renaissance. This well-establishedagent is finding application for new clinical indications. Inparallel, the development of anti-obesity drugs continuesapace.The molecular and genetic mechanisms underlying some forms ofinsulin resistance are being revealed.Original intellectual concepts such as the fetal origins hypothesisare challenging traditional views about the aetiology of insulinresistance and its clinical sequelae. These exciting scientificadvances notwithstanding, the evolving global epidemic of obesityand type 2 diabetes represents an enormous public health challenge.Now more than ever, research must focus on identifying solutionsthat are applicable on the level of entire populations. Bydefinition, these must also be practical and cost-effective.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Over the last twenty years there has been a dramatic upsurge in the application of meta-analysis to medical research. This has mainly been due to greater emphasis on evidence-based medicine and the need for reliable summaries of the vast and expanding volume of clinical research. At the same time there have been great strides in the development and refinement of the associated statistical methodology. This book describes the planning, conduct and reporting of a meta-analysis as applied to a series of randomized controlled clinical trials.\* The various approaches are presented within a general unified framework.\* Meta-analysis techniques are described in detail, from their theoretical development through to practical implementation.\* Each topic discussed is supported by detailed worked examples.\* A comparison of fixed and random effects approaches is included, as well as a discussion of Bayesian methods and cumulative meta-analysis.\* Fully documented programs using standard statistical procedures in SAS are available on the Web.Ideally suited for practising statisticians and statistically-minded medical professionals, the book will also be of use to graduate students of medical statistics. The book is a self-contained and comprehensive account of the subject and an essential purchase for anyone involved in clinical trials.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A thorough review of the most current regression methods in time series analysisRegression methods have been an integral part of time series analysis for over a century. Recently, new developments have made major strides in such areas as non-continuous data where a linear model is not appropriate. This book introduces the reader to newer developments and more diverse regression models and methods for time series analysis.Accessible to anyone who is familiar with the basic modern concepts of statistical inference, Regression Models for Time Series Analysis provides a much-needed examination of recent statistical developments. Primary among them is the important class of models known as generalized linear models (GLM) which provides, under some conditions, a unified regression theory suitable for continuous, categorical, and count data.The authors extend GLM methodology systematically to time series where the primary and covariate data are both random and stochastically dependent. They introduce readers to various regression models developed during the last thirty years or so and summarize classical and more recent results concerning state space models. To conclude, they present a Bayesian approach to prediction and interpolation in spatial data adapted to time series that may be short and/or observed irregularly. Real data applications and further results are presented throughout by means of chapter problems and complements.Notably, the book covers:\* Important recent developments in Kalman filtering, dynamic GLMs, and state-space modeling\* Associated computational issues such as Markov chain, Monte Carlo, and the EM-algorithm\* Prediction and interpolation\* Stationary processes.…
