Diabetes is on the increase in all age groups and is described by
the World Health Organisation as an epidemic. The good news is that
effective control can greatly improve life expectancy, as well as
reducing the risk of complications such as cardiovascular disease,

tackle type one diabetes in adults and teenagers; it also looks at
type two diabetes and explains why the dividing line between types
one and two is not always easy to draw. Topics include: Late-onset
type one diabetes; Organising your insulin; Pumps and transplants;
Type two diabetes and the metabolic syndrome; Why so many more
people with type two diabetes now need insulin for control;
Managing type two diabetes - keeping the glucose levels down; Diet

do; Preventing complications; Diabetes in pregnancy.
Each year nearly 35,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer. Of
these, more than 10,000 die from the disease, and figures are
rising. But better awareness, earlier diagnosis and more
sophisticated treatments can save lives, and have already reduced
death rates in some countries. This new edition of Coping
Successfully with Prostate Cancer presents the latest research on
prostate cancer and describes the many treatments available. Topics
include; symptoms and stages of the disease, other prostate
problems, the possible influence of diet, geography and viral
factors, screening and investigation, including PSA, the decision
to treat, or not to treat, treatments, including surgery and
radiation therapy, branchytherapy and laser, dealing with advanced
prostate cancer, lifestyle measures, coping with sex, research and
the future. In this thoroughly updated and positive book, Dr Tom
Smith says that it is possible for men with prostate cancer to lead
successful, happy and fufilled lives.
This collection presents a summary of current knowledge regarding
autistic suspects, defendants and offenders in the criminal justice
system of England and Wales. The volume examines the interaction
between each stage of the criminal justice process and autistic
individuals accused or convicted of crime, considering the
problems, strengths, and possibilities for improving the system to
better accommodate the needs of this vulnerable category of
neurodiverse individuals. By explicating the core issues in this
important but disparate area of study in a single place, the
collection facilitates understanding of and engagement with
knowledge for a wider audience of relevant stakeholders, including
criminal justice practitioners, policy makers, academics and
clinicians. It also incorporates key recommendations for
improvement, thereby clarifying the urgent need for substantive
change in policies and practices. The ultimate goal is to both
improve the treatment and experience of autistic people subjected
to criminal justice processes; and produce fairer, more appropriate
systemic outcomes. While focused on the criminal justice system of
England and Wales, the work will be valuable for researchers and
policy-makers working in similar systems, as well as those
interested in neurodiversity more generally.
This edited collection explores the topic of disclosure of evidence
and information in the criminal justice process. The book
critically analyses the major issues driving the long-standing
problem of dysfunctional disclosure practice, with contributions
from academics, lawyers, former police officers, and current police
policymakers. The ultimate objective is to review the key problems
at the investigative, trial and post-conviction stages of criminal
proceedings, and to suggest a way forward through potential routes
of reform, both legal and cultural. The collection represents a
significant and novel contribution to the policy debate regarding
disclosure, and advances thought on resolving this issue in a fair
and sustainable manner. The book provides a valuable resource for
academics, practitioners and policymakers working on this vital
aspect of criminal procedure.

Bronchitis and emphysema affect some three million people in the
UK, and kill 30,000 people each year. They account for more loss of
time from work than any other form of illness, and are usually
caused by smoking, which leads to inflammation of the bronchi. As
the lungs become increasingly damaged, shortness of breath develops
even on moderate exertion, such as climbing stairs. As the
condition worsens, simple tasks such as washing or shaving cause
marked shortness of breath, and eventually fighting for breath
occurs even at rest. The condition cannot be cured. However,
further deterioration can be prevented, and this new edition brings
us up to date with changes in treatment, though stopping smoking is
still key. Difficulty in breathing can be eased by using inhalers
or nebulisers which deliver drugs that open up the airways called
bronchodilators (eg Ventolin'). Inhaled steroids (eg Becotide') are
useful in reducing inflammation of the air tubes. Many people need
to have oxygen several times a day, and dust, fumes and pollution
should be avoided. Lifestyle changes may also help, such as losing
weight and taking exercise.

Without question, the East German National People's Army was a
profoundly masculine institution that emphasized traditional ideals
of stoicism, sacrifice, and physical courage. Nonetheless, as this
innovative study demonstrates, depictions of the military in the
film and literature of the GDR were far more nuanced and
ambivalent. Departing from past studies that have found in such
portrayals an unchanging, idealized masculinity, Comrades in Arms
shows how cultural works both before and after reunification place
violence, physical vulnerability, and military theatricality, as
well as conscripts' powerful emotions and desires, at the center of
soldiers' lives and the military institution itself.
A unique poetic expression set in the form of personal diary

minimized symptoms and how dangerous complications can sometimes

Times" bestselling authors of "How Did That Happen?"

Sydney. Part memoir, part travelogue, 'Going Loco' takes us on a
dizzying journey around the medical world. Picking up from where
his first memoir left off, Dr Tom is back with more of his
gloriously eccentric stories.
