Chronic Complications of Diabetes Mellitus Current Outlook and Novel Pathophysiological Insights
Langue : Anglais
Coordonnateurs : Mauricio Didac, Alonso Nuria
Chronic Complications of Diabetes Mellitus: Current Outlook and Novel Pathophysiological Insights provides a holistic view of the disease, discussing not only its classical complications but also the under recognized and managed conditions associated with diabetes. Chapters also discuss advances in our understanding of the genomic architecture of diabetes complications and how precision medicine can be used to personalize their management. Endocrinologists, diabetologists, primary care physicians and researchers interested in complications of diabetes mellitus and cutting-edge information will find this to be a comprehensive tome on the topic.
Diabetes complications include pathological changes usually related to the vascular system and classical target organs. However, there are also nonclassical complications independent or partially independent from vascular damage that are often overlooked.

Didac Mauricio, MD, PhD, is currently Chief Physician and acting Head of the Department of Endocrinology & Nutrition, University Hospital Germans Trias i Pujol, affiliated with the Autonomous University in Barcelona. After receiving his medical degree with honors from the University of Barcelona, Dr. Mauricio completed his fellowship in Endocrinology & Nutrition at Hospital de Sant Pau, Autonomous University of Barcelona, Spain. In 1993, he presented his PhD thesis at the School of Medicine, Autonomous University of Barcelona. From 1994 to 1995, he was a post-doctoral research fellow for Professor J. Nerup at the Steno Diabetes Center & Hagedorn Research Institute in Gentofte, Denmark. Dr. Mauricio has delivered numerous invited lectures at major medical conferences, and has been principal investigator of several research projects funded by national and international agencies. He keeps a strong interest in current clinical issues in diabetes management, including randomized clinical trials, and is currently involved in projects dealing with the study of immune, metabolic, and genetic markers of autoimmune diabetes, and diabetic micro- and macroangiopathic complications. Dr. Mauricio has published more than 130 peer-reviewed articles and has contributed to multiple books, and is currently the Editor-in Chief of Endocrinologia y Nutricion, the official journal of the Spanish Society of Endocrinology & Nutrition.
Núria Alonso, MD PhD is a staff endocrinologist and head of the diabetes section at the Department of Endocrinology & Nutrition at University Hospital Germans Trias i Pujol Badalona, Spain. She is Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Medicine, Autonomous University of Barcelona. N. Alonso has published a total of 66 scientific articles in indexed journals.
