Managing COVID-19 alone can be a difficult in many cases, but for persons with pre-existing conditions such as diabetes the challenge can be all the greater, and specific considerations need to be taken when prescribing treatment to manage them. This book is a culmination of scientific work driven by personal conviction to enhance the care provided to the vulnerable populations COVID-19 patients with diabetes. It spans topics from the epidemiology and predictors of complications and increased mortality in COVID-19, to in-depth discussion of the pathophysiology of the disease. Pathophysiology of COVID-19 is addressed comprehensively as common soil pathogenetic pathways, and by organ system such as the lung, the kidney and most pertinently for diabetes, the diabetic foot ulcers and diabetes co-morbidities. A multi-disciplinary approach was needed to manage these complex patients; thus, the authors represent a variety of disciplines including pharmacology, endocrinology, nephrology, infectious diseases, podiatry, vascular surgery, pulmonary/critical care, and general medicine. Written by experts in the field, Diabetes and COVID-19: Considerations and Clinical Management is a blueprint for treatment of patients with both conditions.

Rainbow Inspirations in Art, written collectively by a group of four expert researchers, focuses on a most intriguing subject: the function of color metaphors in the arts. This book includes conclusive discussions with regards to color metaphors in three domains: poetry, visual art and music. Conclusions are based on theoretical and empirical inquiry in the respective disciplines. Innovative areas of research are included in the book, such as the function of color in children's poetry and color-hearing metaphors (chromaesthesia) among listeners who encounter classical music. This book consists of a prologue, seven chapters, and an epilogue. The prologue explains color metaphor as a cross-disciplinary phenomenon. The chapters are divided into two broad sections: Section A (Chapters One through Four) contains four theoretical studies; Section B (Chapters Five through Seven) presents three empirical studies. The epilogue offers a novel viewpoint of counter-color metaphors (abbreviated CoCoM). Color metaphors are laden with symbolism, signs and cultural connotations that artists use in imaginative ways. In this book, the authors explore color metaphors as they contribute to our understanding of the arts. This book includes a comprehensive, updated literature review, which provides background information and new insights into the meaning of color metaphors in the arts. Academic readers and researchers may find valuable information in this book through the study of color metaphors, bridging the arts.

" This is the first research-based book to confront workplace issues facing nurses who have disabilities. It not only examines in depth their experiences, roadblocks to successful employment, and misperceptions surrounding them, but also provides viable solutions for creating positive attitudes towards them and a welcoming work environment that fosters hiring and retention. From the perspectives and actual voices of nurses with disabilities, nurse leaders, nurse administrators, and patients, the book identifies nurses with disabilities (including sensory, musculoskeletal, emotional, and mental health issues), discusses why they choose to leave nursing or hide their disabilities, and analyzes how their disabilities may influence career choices.

Gestational diabetes, because of its not only high prevalence but also resulting complications in both mother and fetus makes it one of the most important problem of a pregnant woman. The exact cause of gestational diabetes is unknown. Obviously, there is no one reason for the development of the disease. Placental hormones likely play a role. Insulin resistance is in the center and some factors like adipokines, lipids, inflammation, oxidative stress, heavy metals, gut microbiota, autoimmunity, metabolomics, genetic factors and vitamin D are the determinants for the development of insulin resistance and disease itself.Worldwide distribution of the disease changes according to geography. Ethnic factors also play role. Although some well-known risk factors have role in the development of the disease, 1 in 20 women without any risk factors also develop GDM. There is no universal screening and diagnostic methods. Some countries use universal screening some others prefer selective screening of women with risk factors. In addition, some suggest use of one-step diagnosis, while others two-step. The most challenging issue is use of some biomarkers in early (first trimester) diagnosis of pregnancy to prevent development of GDM. Many modalities are used in treatment. Medical nutrition therapy is still the basis of management. Exercise has some roles, too. Besides pharmacotherapies like insulin and oral antidiabetics, some modern modalities like insulin pump therapy together with continuous glucose monitoring, telemedicine, dietary supplements like myoinositols are also covered in this book. Monitorization is important in diabetes and role of nurses in follow-up is incontrovertible. If not treated well, both fetus and mother are open to complications. From congenital malformations to macrosomia, if inevitable, proper management of these problems has to be considered. Some comorbidities like hypertension, thyroid problems and psychosocial stress complicate the problem further. Fetal monitorization, time and type of delivery and management of glycaemia during peripartum period are the issues to be considered towards to end of pregnancy.The problem does not finish with the birth of baby. Both mother and newborn has to be followed for the development of future problems like postpartum diabetes and obesity. Nutrition and benefits of breastfeeding are important points for the health of the baby. In addition, every efforts has to be spent to prevent recurrence of the disease in subsequent pregnancies.The most important instrument against fighting a disease is information i.e. how much we know about it. Understanding the problem thoroughly strengthens our hands to cope and overcome it more easily. The main target of this book is to handle every aspect of the disease from diagnosis to treatment as evident from the title. It is a candidate for a reference guide in this subject. It includes most recent and update data on gestational diabetes.

Since the observation in the 19th century that an extract of the suprarenal bodies injected into the circulation caused a rise in blood pressure, the endocrine system has become a major component in our understanding of human physiology. The introduction of radioimmunoassay techniques and the ability to measure minimal amounts of hor mones (a term derived from the Greek "to excite") have shown that acute exercise causes a release of a large number of hormones and that chronic exercise may further lead to long-term alterations in endocrine homeostasis. Actually, almost every organ and system in the body is affected by physical activity and exercise, much of it through the endocrine and neuroendocrine system. Investigation ofthe effect of acute or chronic physical activity on the endocrine system is a complex matter since the stimulus called "exercise" has many components, such as mode, intensity, duration, and others. In addition, several other factors, such as age, gender, training status, body temperature, circadian rhythm, metabolic state, menstrual cycle, and various external conditions as well as psychological factors, can modify the effect of physical activity on hormonal secretion. Moreover, the physiol9gical stimulus of exercise often provokes several and parallel cascades of biochemical and endocrine changes. It is therefore often extremely difficult to distinguish between primary and secondary events and between cause and effect. These limitations will be discussed in Chapter 1.

The COVID-19 pandemic has presented unprecedented challenges to the nation's K-12 education system. The rush to slow the spread of the virus led to closures of schools across the country, with little time to ensure continuity of instruction or to create a framework for deciding when and how to reopen schools. States, districts, and schools are now grappling with the complex and high-stakes questions of whether to reopen school buildings and how to operate them safely if they do reopen. These decisions need to be informed by the most up-to-date evidence about the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19; about the impacts of school closures on students and families; and about the complexities of operating school buildings as the pandemic persists. Reopening K-12 Schools During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Prioritizing Health, Equity, and Communities provides guidance on the reopening and operation of elementary and secondary schools for the 2020-2021 school year. The recommendations of this report are designed to help districts and schools successfully navigate the complex decisions around reopening school buildings, keeping them open, and operating them safely.
