Diabetes is a chronic disease of the fastest growing in the world today affects 246 million people. Between 10 and 15% for all cases of diabetes, corresponding to the Type 1 (insulin-dependent). The development of this type of diabetes is a consequence of an autoimmune phenomenon causing the destruction of pancreatic beta cells failing to produce insulin. At present, there is a single treatment can allow the survival of patients with this problem: the insulin that if it is the best alternative available, it is known is incapable of achieving perfect metabolic control of blood glucose.

Advances in research
Allogeneic is known that immunosuppressive Intrahepatic is clinically used in severe hypoglycemia but not the response to treatment of type 1 diabetes. It turns out that insulin-producing cells derived from a stem cell is in its infancy, can overcome the supply problem but not the total treatment. The same applies to genetically altered cells (non-islet) for the production of insulin in demand.

Faced with the imperfection of insulin that leads to complications of immunosuppression, Prof. Dr. Elliott developed a method using the implant of newborn pig islets microencapsulated (ICRNm) in alginate. These islands provide an answer to the problem of supply and would be a potential for implants without immune suppressant. They operate in a self-regulating, secreting insulin efficiently, improving the metabolic control of blood sugar, achieving near-normal levels of glycosylated hemoglobin and avoiding the appearance of complications of diabetes.

Dr. Elliott and his team used the pigs on the Auckland Islands to develop this method, since they are free from contamination and damage. The first transplant was performed in Russia in 1997.

During his presentation, Dr. Elliott explained the prerequisites of this practice, the ideal characteristics of the capsules and materials to use in the process, methods for the preparation of the transplant, the release criteria, models for the immune rejection and efficiency and regulatory issues.

He also presented the results of studies in diabetic rodents and primates in addition to the detection of porcine insulin in clinical studies today that the expert is carrying out in Russia and New Zealand to study the safety and efficacy of this treatment. This investigation is in phase 2 study in Argentina.

* Eat a varied healthy diet. Avoid foods that are high in fat, cholesterol, salt and added sugars.
* Maintain a healthy weight. If you’re overweight, your doctor may advise you how to lose weight without it being dangerous to your health.
* Control your blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
* Be physically active regularly.
* No smoking
* Visit your doctor regularly, even when you are well. Your doctor will test to see if early signs of complications.
* Call your doctor right away if you have any of the warning signs listed in this brochure.

Heart disease is most treatable when caught early. It is important that you go see a doctor regularly. Your doctor can evaluate to see if you have early signs of heart disease.

The recommended cholesterol level for a person with diabetes is like for a person with heart disease. If your cholesterol level exceeds the recommended cholesterol level, your doctor can tell you about changes in lifestyle and medications that can help keep your cholesterol under control.

The risk of kidney disease increases if you have diabetes and high blood pressure, therefore, it is important to control both conditions.

The presence of protein in the urine is usually the first sign of kidney disease. This should be checked every year.

When damage occurs in blood vessels of your retina, they can leak fluid and cause swelling in the macula. The macula is the central part of the retina that gives a clear and sharp. The swelling and fluid can cause blurred vision, and make it hard to see you, if worse retinopathy can lead to blindness.

Laser surgery can often be used to treat or slow down retinopathy, especially if the problem is caught early. People with diabetes should have an eye exam every year.

Warning signs of eye problems
Call your doctor if you have:

* Blurred vision for more than 2 days
* Sudden loss of vision in one or both eyes
* See black or gray spots, cobwebs or threads that move when you move aimlessly eyes, these are known by the name “floaters.”
* If you see flashing lights that are not really there
* Pain or pressure in one or both eyes

Neuropathy most often affects the legs and feet. If you have neuropathy, you may not feel they have a foot ulcer. The sore can become infected, and in severe cases, the foot may have to be an amputee, is cut. People with diabetic neuropathy may continue walking on one foot, joints or bones that have been injured. This can cause a condition known as Charcot foot that causes swelling and instability in the injured foot. You can also make the foot deformed. However, this problem can often be avoided.

If you have diabetes, check your feet every day. If you see swelling, redness and warmth in your foot feels, go see your doctor immediately. These may be signs of Charcot foot. Your doctor also must examine the feet often.

Diabetes is a disease that occurs when a person’s body does not produce enough insulin or can not use insulin properly. When you have diabetes, sugar builds up in the blood instead of moving into the cells. Too much sugar in the blood can cause serious health problems, including heart disease and nerve damage and kidney.

There are two types of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes occurs when the body does not produce any insulin. In type 2 diabetes the body does not produce enough insulin or cells ignore the insulin. Nearly 95% of people diagnosed with diabetes have type 2 diabetes.

Eggs, which had been fertilized and implanted there, began to grow. Needless to say this is a very dangerous situation because the fallopian tubes or other areas of the body is not designed to support the baby and also unable to stretch as they need to stretch to make room for growing babies.

While eggs can grow in other places, most often choose fallopian tubes, but other areas that may be found in the ovary, stomach, cervix, or even outside the womb.

None of these areas have the means to grow a baby. When the egg implants in there and start to grow causing bleeding, possible broken areas as the oviduct, and will eventually run may lead to situations that will create the bleeding and put lives at risk mothers. The presence of your period during pregnancy may be one clue that all is not as they appear.

Noting the symptoms that may be present in the ectopic pregnancy is very important, especially if you’ve become a victim of previous ectopic pregnancy. Mothers over the age of 35 at the beginning of pregnancy previously had an ectopic pregnancy or pelvic inflammatory disease ever more vulnerable.

If you are in one high risk group it pays to pay attention to your body signals and to seek good medical advice if you have symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy. If you have periods during pregnancy, shoulder pain, pain in the pelvic area or abdomen, dizziness, nausea or other symptoms does not mean that you had an ectopic pregnancy but it is certainly worth checking out.

Each time pain present throughout pregnancy, not just cramps, sore muscles and other parts of the pregnancy is normal, but pelvic pain or pain during intercourse; need to know why it happened. While some discomfort is common in pregnancy, deep pain during activity or movement is not a normal part of becoming pregnant and should be checked with your doctor.

Know Your Risk Factors and Ectopic Pregnancy - Two main symptoms is vaginal bleeding and pelvic pain unilateral. This can vary in intensity, depending on how far the pregnancy has progressed. Ectopic pregnancy is very dangerous because it can lead to rupture the tube, along with severe bleeding. In extreme cases, intra-abdominal bleeding can be catastrophic and even fatal for the woman.

Ectopic pregnancy occurs at a rate of about one in 60 pregnancies. Certain risk factors have been found to increase the chances for an ectopic pregnancy. Risk factors are:

* History of severe pelvic infection
* Endometriosis
* Cigarette smoking
* Improve maternal age
* History of infertility
* before surgery on fallopian tubes
* Prior pelvic or abdominal surgery (scar tissue)
* Previous Ectopic Pregnancy

If your doctor suspects that you have an ectopic pregnancy, she will perform certain tests. Your doctor may perform a pelvic examination, check your blood pressure and pulse, perform an ultrasound, and take your blood to check your pregnancy hormone levels.

Diagnosis may not appear immediately. Sometimes it may take several days of observation and additional tests before the diagnosis are clear. The use of sophisticated technologies and accurate monitoring of hormonal ultrasound has now been possible to detect the majority of ectopic pregnancies when they were still in the very early stages.

Damage before it may be caused by failure or reverse sterilization procedures, or fallopian tube infection. Ectopic pregnancy is more common in women who use contraception contraception, partly because these devices increase the risk of pelvic infection in women exposed to sexually transmitted diseases.
