Diabetes is a global disease that affects over 366 million people worldwide and is projected to increase to over 4.4% of the population by 2030. It occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin or the body cannot effectively use the insulin produced, resulting in high blood sugar. There are three main types of diabetes: type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes. Common symptoms include frequent urination, thirst, hunger, weight loss, and fatigue. Without treatment, diabetes can lead to serious complications affecting the eyes, kidneys, heart, nerves, and feet. Diagnosis involves blood tests to check glucose levels, such as fasting blood glucose and HbA1c levels. Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes like diet,

Reactive Hypoglycemia Handout
Reactive hypoglycemia is a low blood sugar reaction that occurs after meals due to an excessive release of insulin by the pancreas in response to eating, causing blood sugar levels to drop too quickly. Symptoms include feeling anxious, weak, sweaty, and lightheaded. It is often caused by eating large, carbohydrate-heavy meals. Treatment focuses on eating smaller, more frequent meals with balanced macronutrients to prevent spikes and crashes in blood sugar levels. This includes choosing proteins, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates that digest more slowly than simple sugars.
Diabetes ingles 4
There are three main types of diabetes: type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes. Type 1 diabetes results from a lack of insulin production and requires lifelong insulin treatment. Type 2 diabetes accounts for around 75% of diabetes cases and involves insufficient insulin production or resistance. Gestational diabetes develops during pregnancy. Diabetes occurs when the body cannot properly use or produce insulin to regulate blood glucose levels, leading to symptoms like increased thirst, hunger, and urination. Treatment involves diet, exercise, oral medications, and sometimes insulin injections.
Presentation on Hypoglycemia
This document discusses hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), including its causes, symptoms, management, and prevention. It defines hypoglycemia as a low serum glucose level and describes the most common causes as taking too much insulin (for diabetics) or lack of food intake. Symptoms are discussed as well as treatment approaches, which involve giving oral glucose, IV dextrose, or glucagon injections depending on the severity and consciousness of the patient. Reactive hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar occurring after eating, is also examined along with potential contributing factors and recommended treatments like dietary changes and frequent small meals. Prevention strategies highlighted include eating regularly, exercising with food, and diabetics always carrying fast-acting sugar.
Hyperglycemia
Hyperglycemia is the specialized term for high blood (glucose). High glucose happens when the body has too little insulin or when the body can't utilize insulin appropriately.

Diabetes insipidus is a rare disease characterized by excessive production of dilute urine and excessive thirst. There are four main types: central diabetes insipidus caused by problems with the pituitary gland; nephrogenic diabetes insipidus caused when the kidneys do not respond to vasopressin; dipsogenic diabetes insipidus caused by damage to the body's thirst regulation system; and gestational diabetes insipidus which occurs in some pregnant women when the placenta destroys vasopressin. Gestational diabetes insipidus is usually treated with desmopressin nasal spray to manage urine control, while dipsogenic diabetes insipidus has no specific treatment.
Diabetic Emergancy
This document discusses diabetic emergencies, including hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state (HHS). It notes that HHS is characterized by severe hyperglycemia, hyperosmolarity, and dehydration without significant ketoacidosis. It most commonly occurs in older patients with type 2 diabetes due to reduced fluid intake from an illness. Signs include a plasma glucose over 600 mg/dL, effective serum osmolality over 320 mOsm/kg, and dehydration of 8-12 liters with neurologic changes like drowsiness. The pathophysiology involves reduced insulin and elevated counter-regulatory hormones leading to further hyperglycemia and a shift of fluid out of cells causing intracellular
Diabetes mellitus
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic condition characterized by high blood glucose levels. There are three main types - type 1 caused by lack of insulin production, type 2 caused by insulin resistance, and gestational diabetes during pregnancy. Acute complications include hypoglycemia from too much insulin and diabetic ketoacidosis from lack of insulin. Long term complications damage the heart, blood vessels, nerves, eyes, and kidneys. Proper management of diabetes includes monitoring blood sugar, administering insulin as needed, and treating acute complications promptly to prevent further health issues.

Type 2 diabetes is a long-term disorder where the body cannot properly use sugar due to insufficient insulin production or ineffective insulin. Risk factors include family history, being overweight, high blood pressure, or over 40 years old. Symptoms include excessive thirst, frequent urination, tiredness and blurred vision. In New Zealand, around 110,000 people have type 2 diabetes, a number that is rising with obesity rates. Complications include damage to blood vessels, nerves, eyes, and organs like the kidneys and heart. Family management of the disease focuses on healthy eating, regular physical activity, and consistent medical checkups.
Diabetes
Diabetes is a disease where the body cannot properly use and store glucose, causing blood glucose levels to rise too high. There are two major types of diabetes: type 1 where the body stops producing insulin and type 2 which results from not producing enough insulin or being unable to use insulin properly. Diabetes can occur in anyone but some factors like family history, obesity, and inactivity increase risk. Diabetes is treated through lifestyle changes like weight control, nutrition, exercise and medication including tablets or injections to manage blood sugar levels.

Management Of Hypertension in diabetes- 2009
The document discusses the management of hypertension in patients with diabetes. It notes that over 1.5 billion people worldwide have hypertension, and the prevalence of both diabetes and diabetes combined with hypertension is increasing globally and in Saudi Arabia. Tight control of blood pressure is more effective at reducing complications of diabetes than tight control of blood glucose. The pathogenesis of hypertension differs between type 1 and type 2 diabetes, but the enhancement of cardiovascular and renal risk is similar in both types when hypertension is present. Lifestyle modifications and drugs targeting the renin-angiotensin system are emphasized for prevention and treatment.
Management of hypertension in diabetes
Hypertension is common in diabetics, affecting 20-60% of those with diabetes. It is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. While only 25% of hypertensive patients have adequate blood pressure control, tight control of both blood pressure and glucose levels can significantly reduce cardiovascular and mortality risks for diabetics. Hypertension and diabetes frequently occur together due to their shared risk factors and pathophysiology, with each condition increasing the risks associated with the other. Proper management of both is important for preventing diabetes and hypertension-related complications.
11a.Puerperal+Sepsis
Puerperal sepsis is defined as a temperature over 38°C occurring for more than two consecutive days in the first 10 days after delivery.

Clinical features include fever, pelvic pain, abnormal vaginal discharge, uterine tenderness, and pelvic thrombophlebitis. Diagnosis involves examination, cultures of blood, endocervix, and urine. Management includes early broad-spectrum antibiotics to cover anaerobes like clindamycin with aminoglycoside or ampicillin, drainage of retained placenta or abscesses, and heparin for thrombophlebitis.
Treatment of Hypertension Treatment of Hypertension
This document summarizes guidelines for treating hypertension. It defines hypertension and classifications of blood pressure. The goals of treatment are to reduce risks of stroke, heart disease, heart failure, and kidney disease. Lifestyle changes and medication are used to achieve a target blood pressure of less than 140/90 mmHg or 130/80 mmHg for those with diabetes or chronic kidney disease. Initial drug therapy typically involves thiazide diuretics alone or combined with other classes of drugs depending on individual risk factors and medical conditions. Special considerations are given to treating hypertension in pregnancy, kidney disease, heart disease and other compelling indications.

Hypoglycemia, or low blood glucose, is the most common diabetic emergency seen by EMS and results from an imbalance in the endocrine system where insulin overcorrects high blood glucose. Frequent blood glucose monitoring is important for diabetes management.
Type 2 diabetes undone.pdf
The number of people with diabetes rose from 108 million in 1980 to 422 million in 2014.
Prevalence has been rising more rapidly in low and middle-income countries than in
high-income countries.
Diabetes is a major cause of blindness, kidney failure, heart attacks, stroke, and lower
limb amputation.
Between 2000 and 2016, there was a 5% increase in premature mortality from diabetes.
In 2019, an estimated 1.5 million deaths were directly caused by diabetes. Another 2.2 million deaths were attributable to high blood glucose in 2012.
A healthy diet, regular physical activity, maintaining a normal body weight, and avoiding tobacco use are ways to prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes.
Diabetes can be treated and its consequences avoided or delayed with diet, physical activity, medication, and regular screening and treatment for complications
Diabetes Mellitus treatment n mm.pptx
This document provides an overview of diabetes mellitus including its definition, classification, epidemiology in India, diagnosis, and management. It discusses the two main types of diabetes - type 1 caused by lack of insulin production and type 2 caused by insulin resistance. Diagnosis involves blood glucose testing as well as HbA1c levels. Management focuses on lifestyle changes like diet and exercise as well as oral medications and insulin for blood glucose control to prevent complications.
Blood glucose: highs & lows
This document provides information about diabetes education, including managing blood glucose levels. It states that blood glucose levels fluctuate throughout the day based on various factors, and it is important to keep levels within an acceptable target range to avoid health issues and feel well. Both high and low blood glucose can have causes and symptoms, and it is important for diabetics to monitor their levels using meters and A1C testing, and to work with healthcare providers to prevent levels from getting too high or low. The document provides guidelines for blood glucose targets and tips for preventing and treating high and low levels.
Diabetic kidney disease
Diabetic kidney disease, also called diabetic nephropathy, is a type of chronic kidney disease caused by damage to the kidneys as a result of diabetes. Over time, high blood glucose levels associated with diabetes can damage the tiny filters in the kidneys called glomeruli. This can progressively reduce their ability to filter waste from the blood, potentially leading to kidney failure. Symptoms of diabetic kidney disease may include swelling, poor sleep or concentration, nausea or weakness. It can be diagnosed through urine and blood tests and managed through strict control of blood sugar and blood pressure levels.

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s Perspective
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

Pharmacology of Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes and Leukotrienes
This presentation gives information on the pharmacology of Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes and Leukotrienes i.e. Eicosanoids. Eicosanoids are signaling molecules derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids like arachidonic acid. They are involved in complex control over inflammation, immunity, and the central nervous system. Eicosanoids are synthesized through the enzymatic oxidation of fatty acids by cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase enzymes. They have short half-lives and act locally through autocrine and paracrine signaling.
