Diuresis is the increased production of urine by the kidney.

Types and causes

The kidney produces up to 250 L of “prourine” (glomerular filtrate in science) per day, but reabsorbs most before it reaches the bladder.

Polyuria is increased diuresis. This may be due to large fluid intake, various illnesses (diabetes insipidus, osmotic diuresis due to diabetes mellitus or hypercalcemia) or various chemical substances (diuretics, caffeine, alcohol). It may also occur after supraventricular tachycardias, during an onset of atrial fibrillation, childbirth, and the removal of an obstruction within the urinary tract. Diuresis is restrained by antidiuretics such as ADH, angiotensin II and aldosterone.

Cold diuresis is the occurrence of increased urine production on exposure to cold.

Substances that increase diuresis are called diuretics. Coffee is an example of a proposed diuretic.

Substances that decrease diuresis allow more vasopressin or antidiuretic hormone (ADH) to be present in the kidney.

High-altitude diuresis occurs at altitudes above 10,000 ft and is a desirable indicator of adaptation to high altitudes. Mountaineers who are adapting well to high altitudes experience this type of diuresis. Urine output is thus an important indicator of adaptation to altitude (or lack thereof). Persons who produce less urine even in the presence of adequate fluid intake probably are not adapting well to altitude (Hackett 1980; pp. 54, 62).

Sir Harold Percival (Harry) Himsworth (19 May 1905 – 1 November 1993) was a British scientist, best known for his medical research on diabetes mellitus.

Early life

He was the son of Joseph Arnold Himsworth of Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, and he was educated at Spring Grove School and Almondbury Grammar School.

Medical career

He studied medicine at the University of London and trained in University College Hospital (UCH). His early involvement in medical research (especially of diabetes and later of liver disease) would lead to an important 1936 paper in The Lancet, distinguishing the two main types of diabetes.

He was appointed Professor of Medicine at the University of London and the Secretary of the Medical Research Council (MRC) for the very long period of 1949-1968.

He was awarded a knighthood in the New Year honours of 1952 and, in 1953, would be appointed Honorary Physician to the Queen.

His archives are being held by the Wellcome Institute, London.

Captain Novolin is a Super Nintendo game starring the eponymous superhero who has diabetes.

Captain Novolin is the only one who can stop the alien Blubberman and rescue the mayor. He rides a speedboat and needs to avoid the alien invaders who have turned themselves into junk food while eating healthy meals to keep his blood glucose within a safe zone. Players earn bonus points by correctly answering multiple choice questions about diabetes (the correct answers of which are given at the beginning of levels).

The game was sponsored by Novo Nordisk, makers of Novolin brand insulin.[1]

It is widely regarded as one of the oddest and worst video games ever made.[2] Novolin doesn’t have any apparent means of attack (he can stomp enemies by pressing down when he jumps, but this isn’t immediately obvious), and the player will find difficulty in avoiding many of the enemies. In some cases, it is impossible to avoid enemies without taking damage.

Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT) is a pre-diabetic state of dysglycemia, that is associated with insulin resistance and increased risk of cardiovascular pathology. IGT may precede type 2 diabetes mellitus by many years. IGT is also a risk factor for mortality.<ref name=”pmid17576864″></ref>

Criteria

According to the criteria of the World Health Organization and the American Diabetes Association, impaired glucose tolerance is defined as<ref name=”who-99″>.</ref><ref name=”pmid15618111″></ref>:

• two-hour glucose levels of 140 to 199 mg per dL (7.8 to 11.0 mmol) on the 75-g oral glucose tolerance test. A patient is said to be under the condition of IGT when he/she has an intermediately raised glucose level after 2 hours, but less than would qualify for type 2 diabetes mellitus. The fasting glucose may be either normal or mildly elevated.

From 10 to 15 percent of adults in the United States have one of these conditions.<ref name=”Shobha”></ref>

Treatment

The risk of progression to diabetes and development of cardiovascular disease is greater than for Impaired fasting glycaemia.

Although some drugs can delay the onset of diabetes, lifestyle modifications play a greater role in the prevention of the disease.<ref name=”Shobha”></ref> Patients identified as having an IGT should exercise regularly and have a balanced diet removing the empty calories of sugar.

Carnitine has been shown to improve glucose uptake, regulation, and oxidation, though temporarily (i.e. only when levels are sustained in the blood).

For the American Actor, see William Holden.

Bill Holden (born 1948 in Elgin, Illinois), is a teacher who embarked on a 2,100 miles walk, from Arizona to Chicago, during 2005, hoping to raise $250,000 dollars to be donated to the American Diabetes Association so that a cure for juvenile diabetes can be found. Holden made national headlines with his walk.

Biography

Bill Holden grew up at the beginning of the television era in the United States. His father was a die-hard baseball fan. In 1957, Holden had his first in-person baseball experience, going to a Chicago Cubs home game. Holden became a lifetime Cubs fan instantly.

Ron Santo became Holden’s favorite player.

Holden followed the Cubs the rest of his life after having seen them play in person for the first time. He chose to become a teacher instead of a baseball player, however, and, in 1966, he enrolled at Southern Illinois University, graduating with a degree in pedagogy in 1970.

Holden got his first job as a teacher in 1973. He has been working as a teacher since. He became interested in teaching Native American children, so, after many years teaching in the Illinois public schools system, he relocated to Camp Verde, Arizona. At Camp Verde, he became aware of the alarming incidence of diabetes among Indian children. He started teaching groups of children that suffered from the disease.

On new year’s eve 2004, his son presented him with the docu-film This Old Cub, based on Santo’s experience as a diabetic player in MLB. After watching the film seven times before going to bed that morning, Holden became inspired and convinced that he needed to do something to help find a cure for diabetes.

The walk

On January 11, 2005, Holden began his walk, hoping to cover at least 12 miles each day. Holden crossed six states, including New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma and Missouri, apart from Arizona and Illinois. Among the things he had to battle along the way were wearyness and the summer heat. According to his own account, Holden had a brush with death when he was about to get run over by a car, but the drivers recognized him and waved.

Holden had told Santo about the fund raising walk before it took place, gaining Santo’s admiration.

On June 29, Holden arrived at Harry Caray’s restaurant in Rosemont. He overnighted there, as he had previously done in several odd places and small hotels.

After arriving at the famous Cubs baseball stadium, the Wrigley Field on July 1, Holden, who was joined by Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich during the final steps of his walk, threw that day’s symbolic first pitch to Kerry Wood, as the Cubs played the Washington Nationals. During the game’s seventh inning stretch, he and Santo sang the Take me Out to the Ballgame baseball hymn.

Bill Holden has arthritis in both of his knees. His fund-raising walk made headlines in newspapers across his home country, including The Arizona Republic and many others.

Ron Santo told reporters that When he mentioned the fact that he was going to walk from Arizona to Wrigley Field to raise money for diabetes, I couldn’t believe it! Then, when I heard he was 20 miles away, I’m saying ‘get in the car and drive it. You’ve made it!’ But he said, ‘Nope, I’m going to walk’. I mean, think about that. It’s Amazing!

In biology, basal rate is a rate of continuous supply of some chemical or process. In the case of diabetes mellitus, it is a low rate of continuous insulin supply needed for such purposes as controlling cellular glucose and amino acid uptake.

Together with a bolus of insulin, the basal insulin completes the total insulin needs of an insulin-dependent person.

An insulin pump and wristop controller is one way to arrange for a closely controlled basal insulin rate. The slow-release insulins (e.g, Lantus and Levemir) can provide a similar effect.
