Nutrition and Type 2 Diabetes Etiology and Prevention

Nutrition and Type 2 Diabetes Etiology and Prevention

Over the past two decades type 2 diabetes has emerged as a leading threat to global health and the considerable overlap in obesity and diabetes trends are likely no coincidence. While the underpinnings for both etiologies are linked to lifestyles particularly dietary and physical activity patterns determining optimal approaches for preventing and managing type 2 diabetes using dietary composition remains a challenge. Nutrition and Type 2 Diabetes: Etiology and Prevention rigorously examines various perspectives on diet and type 2 diabetes. The book presents a comprehensive description and evaluation of the central research to date primarily in humans on the macronutrients and their subclasses micronutrients foods beverages and overall dietary patterns with respect to the risk of type 2 diabetes. It addresses the mediating/mechanistic role of obesity and body composition throughout the text where appropriate. The chapter authors all leading researchers in the field discuss fundamental nutritional principles applied to the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes as well as applied behavioral studies on nutrition and diabetes for each subject area. The depth and breadth of this book includes aspects of the food synergy model for understanding the complicated pathways between nutrition dietary habits and risk for type 2 diabetes. It also examines the effects of artificially sweetened beverages and coffee. This reference provides a review of the science on the potential impact of many components of dietary behavior and nutritional properties on etiology and risk for this disease knowledge that is essential for formulating informed approaches to public health progress in this area. | Nutrition and Type 2 Diabetes Etiology and Prevention

Integrating Lifestyle Medicine for Prediabetes Type 2 Diabetes and Cardiometabolic Disease

Integrating Lifestyle Medicine for Prediabetes Type 2 Diabetes and Cardiometabolic Disease

Lifestyle change is universally recommended for patients with type 2 diabetes and cardiometabolic disease yet the majority of clinical practice educational programs and clinical trials within these chronic disease spaces focus on medication use and procedures with insufficient emphasis on lifestyle medicine. The concept of lifestyle medicine can serve as a countermeasure acting through aspects of personal choice natural and built environments cultural traditions and socioeconomic influences that affect the metabolic health of an individual. Integrating Lifestyle Medicine for Prediabetes Type 2 Diabetes and Cardiometabolic Disease provides clinical evidence for and a mechanistic understanding of the six pillars of lifestyle medicine.

Antidiabetic Medicinal Plants and Herbal Treatments

Antidiabetic Medicinal Plants and Herbal Treatments

Diabetes is a chronic condition associated with metabolic disorder. Persons suffering from diabetes have shown accelerated levels of blood sugar which often harms the heart blood vessels eyes kidneys and nerves. Over the past few decades the prevalence of diabetes has been progressively increasing. Synthetic drugs are used to treat diabetic patients to help control the disorder but it is shown that numerous medicinal plants and herbal drugs are widely used in several traditional systems of medicine to prevent and treat diabetes. They are reported to produce beneficial effects in combating diabetes and alleviating diabetes-related complications. These plants contain phtyonutrients and phytoconstituents demonstrating protective or disease preventive properties. In many developing countries herbal drugs are recommended by traditional practitioners for diabetes treatment because the use of synthetic drugs is not affordable. Key Features: Provides botanical descriptions distribution and pharmacological investigations of notable medicinal and herbal plants used to prevent or treat diabetes Discusses phytochemical and polyherbal formulations for the management of diabetes and other related complications Contains reports on antidiabetic plants and their potential uses in drug discovery based on their bioactive molecules This volume in the Exploring Medicinal Plants series provides an overview of natural healing treatments in selected antidiabetic plants.

Mean-Field-Type Games for Engineers

Mean-Field-Type Games for Engineers

The contents of this book comprise an appropriate background to start working and doing research on mean-field-type control and game theory. To make the exposition and explanation even easier we first study the deterministic optimal control and differential linear-quadratic games. Then we progressively add complexity step-by-step and little-by-little to the problem settings until we finally study and analyze mean-field-type control and game problems incorporating several stochastic processes e. g. Brownian motions Poisson jumps and random coefficients. We go beyond the Nash equilibrium which provides a solution for non- cooperative games by analyzing other game-theoretical concepts such as the Berge Stackelberg adversarial/robust and co-opetitive equilibria. For the mean-field-type game analysis we provide several numerical examples using a Matlab-based user-friendly toolbox that is available for the free use to the readers of this book. We present several engineering applications in both continuous and discrete time. Among these applications we find the following: water distribution systems micro-grid energy storage stirred tank reactor mechanism design for evolutionary dynamics multi-level building evacuation problem and the COVID-19 propagation control. With such a demand from engineering audiences this book is very timely and provides a thorough study of mean-field-type game theory. The strenuous protagonist of this book is to bridge between the theoretical findings and engineering solutions. The book introduces the basics first and then mathematical frameworks are elaborately explained. The engineering application examples are shown in detail and the popular learning approaches are also investigated. Those advantageous characteristics will make this book a comprehensive handbook of many engineering fields for many years and I will buy one when it gets published.

The Ontology of Physics for Biology Semantic Modeling of Multiscale Multidomain Physiological Systems

The Ontology of Physics for Biology Semantic Modeling of Multiscale Multidomain Physiological Systems

This book introduces semantic representations of multiscale multidomain physiological systems that link to qualitative reasoning and to quantitative analysis of biophysical processes in health and disease. Two major public health problems diabetes and hypertension serve as use-cases to illustrate the depth and rigor of such representations for logical inference and quantitative analysis. Central to this approach is the Ontology of Physics for Biology (OPB) that formally represents the foundations of classical physics and engineering system dynamics that are the basis for our understanding of biomedical entities processes and functional relationships. Furthermore we introduce OPB-based software for annotating and abstracting available biosimulation models for reuse recombination and for archiving of physics-based biomedical knowledge. We have formalized and leveraged physics-based biological knowledge as a working view of physiology and biophysics from three distinct perspectives: (1) biologists and biomedical investigators (2) biophysicists and bioengineers and (3) biomedical ontologists and informaticists. We present a logical and intuitive semantics of classical physics as a tool for mediating and translating biophysical knowledge among biomedical domains. Daniel L. Cook MD PhD John H.
