  2. 21. ENDOTHELIAL- EPITHELIAL INTERACTIONS Blood vessels friends or foes?

    Author : Fredrik Wolfhagen Sand; Stamcellscentrum (SCC); []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; blood vessels; pancreas; endoderm development; S1P1; N-CAM; diabetic retinopathy; diabetes; tubulogenesis; Cdc42;

    Abstract : Diabetes affects enormous amounts of patients. In type 1 diabetes the insulin producing β cells in the islet of Langerhans are destroyed by the immune system. The β cells, which are located in the pancreas, regulate blood glucose levels. The lack of insulin production requires administration of insulin. READ MORE

  4. 22. Towards Defence In Depth In Diabetes Glucose Self-Management

    Author : Fredrik Ståhl; Institutionen för reglerteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Diabetes; model; insulin action; postprandial glucose;

    Abstract : Diabetes is a disease characterized by insufficient capacity to regulate the blood glucose level. In insulin-dependent diabetes, multiple daily injections of insulin have to be administered. In-between scheduled visits to the care provider, the patient has to manage the glucose control independently. READ MORE

  5. 23. Jejunal control of glucose homeostasis in the human body

    Author : Erik Elebring; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; glucose homeostasis; ketogenesis; jejunum;

    Abstract : Background: The prevalence of obesity and type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have risen dramatically over the last decades, and are major threats to the human health. Obesity, and also T2DM, is treated with lifestyle modifications, medications or by bariatric surgery, with varying success. READ MORE

  6. 24. Glycaemic Response in Relation to Gastric Emptying and Satiety in Health and Disease

    Author : Joanna Hlebowicz; Kardiovaskulär forskning - immunitet och ateroskleros; []
    Keywords : Diabetes; Cinnamon; Satiety; Healthy subjects; Gastroparesis; Blood Glucose; Ultrasound; Gastric emptying; Whole-kernel; Dietary fibre; Beta-glucan; Wheat; Oat;

    Abstract : Dietary fibre and whole grains are recommended to prevent the development of type 2 diabetes. Low glycaemic index foods that are rich in fibre are recommended to control blood glucose levels. Gastric emptying, together with other factors, regulate the postprandial blood glucose response.

  7. 25. Diabetes Mellitus Glucose Prediction by Linear and Bayesian Ensemble Modeling

    Author : Fredrik Ståhl; Institutionen för reglerteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Diabetes; Glucose Prediction; Identification; Ensemble Prediction;

    Abstract : Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disease of impaired blood glucose control due to degraded or absent bodily-specific insulin production, or utilization. To the affected, this in many cases implies relying on insulin injections and blood glucose measurements, in order to keep the blood glucose level within acceptable limits. READ MORE
