Endocrine Consequences of Prader-Willi Syndrome
Prader-Willi Syndrome has an estimated birth incidence of 1 in 10,000-30,000 people and affects male and females equally. The rare genetic disorder is caused by absent expression of the paternally-inherited genes on chromosome 15q11.2-q13 and presents implications on the endocrine system from early life as a result of associated hypothalamic dysfunction. Patients with Prader-Willi Syndrome experience endocrine disorders such as hypogonadism, hypothyroidism, adrenal insufficiency, and poor bone mineral density. The features of Prader-Willi Syndrome are also consistent with those of growth hormone deficiency; patients also present with short stature and growth deceleration. Those with Prader-W...
Paediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes
This handbook covers anatomy and physiology before moving on to identification, investigation and management of specific endocrine disorders. As well as covering common and less common endocrine problems, there are also chapters on endocrine investigations and endocrine emergencies, designed for quick reference.
Oxford Handbook of Endocrinology and Diabetes
This handbook in endocrinology and diabetes discusses clinical investigation and management in a convenient way, including both the protocols and explicit clinical information necessary for the management of individual patients.
Growth Hormone Resistance
Examining growth hormone resistance, this text includes coverage of such topics as: growth hormone receptor signalling; metabolic actions of growth hormone - direct and indirect; and IGF bioactivity and its modification in growth hormone resistance in childhood.
When Doctors Become Patients
For many doctors, their role as powerful healer precludes thoughts of ever getting sick themselves. When they do, it initiates a profound shift of awareness-- not only in their sense of their selves, which is invariably bound up with the "invincible doctor" role, but in the way that they view their patients and the doctor-patient relationship. While some books have been written from first-person perspectives on doctors who get sick-- by Oliver Sacks among them-- and TV shows like "House" touch on the topic, never has there been a "systematic, integrated look" at what the experience is like for doctors who get sick, and what it can teach us about our current health care system and more broadl...

Dyspepsia in Clinical Practice
Although dyspepsia has been investigated for a long period of time, there is no international agreement on what constitutes this condition nor any standardized guidelines. National guidelines followed by practitioners in different countries vary in diagnostic and therapeutic approach, underlining the necessity for a unique definition worldwide. Dyspepsia in Clinical Practice summarizes the current guidelines while offering a unified, practical definition of dyspepsia, and a diagnostic algorithm with an emphasis on the upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and rational first-line therapeutic approach based on epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic workup and response to p...
Trauma: Code Red
The Royal College of Surgeons’ of England two-day “definitive surgical trauma skills course” is run by the authors. The course began in 1997 but a new syllabus has recently been put in place.The focus is on thoracic ,abdominal and vascular injuries, caused by both penetrating trauma, such as a knife, and ballistic trauma caused by guns.This Manual accompanies the course and it's aim is to “demystify the body” and show how to control massive blood loss. Interventions, whether they be military or civilian, are descrbed in full, and techniques derived from the battlefield and world-wide hotspots in trauma —are exemplified within this book.
