Description

Diabetic Neuropathy identifies the most accurate early biomarkers of nerve damage to better understand pathophysiology and diagnose diabetic neuropathy in the clinical care of patients, and in particular, permit an accurate evaluation of future therapies in clinical trials. This succinct reference focuses on the current data and research on diabetic neuropathy and is essential reading for researchers in endocrinology, neurology and pharmacology, along with clinicians that need to better understand the novel pathogenetic pathways leading to diabetic neuropathy and the treatments.

Key features

  • Serves as a starting point for researchers and medical professionals on risk factors, prevention and newly discovered mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis and eventually treatments of diabetic neuropathy
  • Discusses a broad range of issues relating to diabetic neuropathy, from epidemiology, to pathophysiology, genetics, advances in diagnostic techniques, and the latest clinical trials and clinical management

Readership

Endocrinologists, diabetologists, neurologists, general practitioners, physician assistants

Mitra Tavakoli

Professor Mitra Tavakoli is Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Exeter and is distinguished for her significant contribution to our understanding of the small fibre neuropathy at diabetes and establishing the technique of “Corneal Confocal Microscopy”. She is an internationally recognised researcher in diabetes care, with a significant focus on innovation and bringing new ideas to the field. Her recent work elucidated the role of intervention for the regeneration of nerves at type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Her ongoing research into understanding the role of novel intervention at rare models of neuropathies, which initiated a new direction of research. Dr Tavakoli has been the lead investigator in several national and international multisite clinical trials and a Chief Investigator in major clinical trials. Her research is funded mainly by Industry, National Institute of Health Research (NIHR), National Institute of Health (NIH). She has published over 75 peer-reviewed scientific papers and textbook chapters and in excess of 100 abstracts. She regularly speaks at international and national conferences and meetings. In addition, she is widely respected for training scientists across the world. She spearheads new technologies and contributes to the major UK and international collaborations.
