Diabetes mellitus becomes especially complex when a patient experiences other comorbid conditions, par-ticularly the comorbidity of neoplasia (cancer). Patients with type 2 diabetes and comorbid cancer diagnoses are faced with many challenges in maintaining their blood sugar because the symptoms of cancer and cancer treatment on their body make it hard to manage their diabetic condition. Cancer patients and di-abetic patients are both immune compromised and live with cellular regulation imbalances (Giovannucci, et al., 2010; Giddens, 2016). The purpose of this investigation is to explore the relationship between comorbid type 2 diabetes and cancer and the impact that these comorbidities have on patient health. This goal is accomplished through a review of literature on diabetes and cancer, with the intention of discovering practical actions that benefit patient disease-management, and by identifying barriers to effective medical treatment. The solutions found in the literature review are being compared to the absence of those solutions in patient care. The outcome will be a concise report on current effective care practices for these patients. This study is taking place over a four-month time period. Both populations of patients, those with cancer and those with type 2 di-abetes, deal with increased inflammation { for diabetic patient's inflammation is related to their chronic condition and for cancer patient's inflammation is related to the cancer treatment they receive to eliminate the malignant neo-plasm (Giovannucci, et al., 2010). Patients receiving treatment for cancer lose their appetite or may be nauseated and refuse to eat, which can cause issues with blood glucose control. These patients may also have increased inflamma-tion related to radiation treatment, which makes maintaining blood sugar levels even more complicated (Giovannucci, et al., 2010). According to Davis, et al.,(2018) education related to the management of type 2 diabetes would empower 7 patients to manage their chronic illness while fighting cancer. Benefits of edu- cating nursing staff, patients, and caregivers include improved health outcomes for patients who are able to effectively manage their diabetes, and reduced anx- iety for patients and caregivers related to fewer diabetes related hospital visits (Irizarry, et al., 2013). Key Concepts Cellular regulation is the phrase used to describe all the operations accom- plished in a cell to preserve homeostasis within the body. Some regulating actions of the cell include its ability to receive signals from outside itself, in the form of hormones, neurotransmitters, and cytokines, and the cell's efficacy in responding to those signals. Cells also use food and water to create energy for the body in various forms and use energy to complete other tasks for the body. Cellular regulation also involves cell reproduction, growth, multiplication, and specialization. These actions of cellular regulation are what promotes healing and balance in the body, so that damaged or dead cells can be removed and replaced. Neoplasm is a term used to describe a type of imbalance in cellular regulation, where abnormal actions and mutations in cell replication, division, and specialization can cause progressive abnormal tissue growth that is either benign or cancerous (malignant) (Giddens, 2016). The term immunity describes the mechanisms in the body that protect it from disease and allow individuals to be resistant to specific diseases. Appro- priate immune function involves the immune system protecting the body from pathogen invasion, noticing and removing mutated cells, and removing dead and damaged tissues. The immune system is made up of multiple organs, including the lymph nodes and vessels; it is also made up of many different types of cells and antibodies, including neutrophils, and immunoglobulins. Abnormal func- tion of the immune system involves an exaggerated immune response, which can be seen in patients with autoimmune diseases like diabetes mellitus, and a suppressed immune response which can be seen in patients with cancer who are being treated by immunosuppressive therapies (Giddens, 2016). Inflammation is the immunologic response of the body to cell damage, in- fection, or allergies. This inflammatory response can be protective and promote healing through the repair of cell injury, which is accomplished through a pro- cess that involves increased blood flow to the affected area, among other things. Inappropriate immune response, however, can cause damage to the body and exacerbate infections through an exaggerated inflammatory response that leads to more cell damage or through a muted inflammatory response which causes increased vulnerability to infection and chronic

  • Chapter Four
    Chapter Four Translating lndustr~l7ansfortning Science: Making a Transition in Virginia, 1963- 1976 From 1963 to 1976, science "took off" in Virginia, as the business community slowly gained an awareness of the valuable contributions made to industry by organized scientists. Often assuming center stage in research and development, Virginia scientists rose in stature, both professionally and socially. Increasingly, scientists were called in to lend their expert knowledge, offering various explanations for events as well as providing mechanisms by which social groups - especially politi- cal - could accomplish objectives they viewed as necessary. At first, the Virginia Academy of Science benefited from the new role of scien- tists, achieving a fairly strong position in many of the webs of negotia- tions defining the course of Virginia science. Most notably, the Acad- emy was able to translate political interest in research and develop- ment into political interest in science education. This initial success did not last, however, in large past due to the inability of the VAS to con- tinue to position itself in terms of the changing context of scientific professionalism. Setting the Stage: Virginia, 1963- 1976 By the mid-sixties, Virginia at last could breathe a small sigh of relief. Massive Resistance -which many Virginia historians cite as the most crucial, shaping event of the century in the Commonwealtl~- by and large had come to an end, and the Old Dominion had begun the slow journey an7ayfrom the evil of racism towards a more moderate
