课程名称：糖尿病——基本事实 概述：全球有超过4.2亿人患有糖尿病，其中三分之二尚未被诊断。糖尿病如果发现晚或管理不当，会对心脏、血管、眼睛、肾脏和神经造成损害，导致残疾和过早死亡。事实上，因糖尿病相关疾病而死亡的人数超过了因艾滋病、疟疾和结核病综合而死的人数。本课程将为您提供关于糖尿病预防和治疗最新研究的介绍，以及对不同社区（无论富裕还是贫困）中糖尿病威胁公共健康情况的更广泛理解。 课程将探讨糖尿病是什么疾病，谁患有糖尿病，谁处于高风险之中？在预防、延缓或治疗糖尿病的过程中，医学、运动和营养发挥了怎样的作用？ 本课程邀请了来自伦敦帝国学院、亚特兰大埃默里大学、哥本哈根斯泰诺糖尿病中心以及哥本哈根大学全球健康学院和基础代谢研究中心的研究人员和专家。他们研究糖尿病的不同方面，从微生物学到全球公共卫生，但他们共同的信念是：抗击糖尿病是全球的责任，只有通过新的知识和全球合作才能赢得这场战斗。 我们希望您加入本课程，为自己装备知识，参与到这项真正全球性和个人健康挑战的持续讨论中。 本课程也是EIT健康项目的一部分。 课程大纲： 1. 糖尿病基础：本模块将介绍糖尿病的基本知识，包括生物医学和公共健康方面的内容，如不同类型糖尿病的描述、最高风险人群的概况，以及过去几十年发生剧烈变化的流行病学趋势。 2. 预防和治疗：在第二模块中，您将了解营养和运动在预防和治疗糖尿病中的重要作用。我们将更详细地探讨肥胖和超重的影响，同时关注在中低收入国家抗击糖尿病的挑战。 3. 未来的糖尿病：在最后一个模块中，我们将讨论一些新的糖尿病研究和治疗方法，如手术或微芯片，并询问研究人员对未来领域的发展看法。最后的课程将伴随一个简短的同行评审作业，您需要提交一段简短文本并评审同伴的提交作品。
Name:Fundamentals of Diabetes
Description:In this first module you will be introduced to the fundamentals about diabetes. This includes both the biomedical and public health aspects, such as a description of the different types of diabetes, a profile of the most at risk people and populations as well as an introduction to the epidemiological trends that have changed dramatically over the last decades.
Name:Prevention and Treatment
Description:In this second module you will be introduced to the important roles of nutrition and exercise when preventing and treating diabetes. We will have a more detailed look at the role of obesity and overweight and also focus on the challenges of fighting diabetes in low- and middle-income countries.
Name:Diabetes in the Future
Description:In this final module we will discuss some of the new research and treatment methods for diabetes, such as surgery or microships, and then we will ask the researchers where they see the field going in the future. The last lesson will be followed by a short peer-review assignment, where you have to submit a short text, and afterwards review the submissions of your peers.
Across the world more than 420 million people are living with diabetes. Two thirds of these have not yet been diagnosed. When discovered late or managed incorrectly, diabetes can damage your heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nerves, leading to disability and premature death. In fact, more people are dying of diabetes related diseases than of diseases as HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined. This course will provide you with an introduction to the most recent research in the field of prevention and treatment of diabetes as well as a broader understanding of the situation in different communities, rich and poor, across the world, where diabetes threatens public health. What kind of disease is diabetes, who has it, and who is at risk of getting it? And what are the roles of medicine, exercise and nutrition when trying to prevent, delay or treat diabetes? During the course you will meet researchers and experts from Imperial College London, Emory University in Atlanta, Steno Diabetes Center in Copenhagen as well as the School of Global Health and the Center for Basic Metabolic Research at the University of Copenhagen. They work with very different aspects of diabetes, from microbiology to global public health, but what ties them together is the belief that it is a global responsibility to combat diabetes, and this fight can only be won through new knowledge and global collaboration. We hope you will join us in the course and equip yourself to take part in the ongoing discussions of this truly global and individual health challenge. This course is also part of the EIT Health programme.
