Endocrine Involvement in Developmental Syndromes
In recent years a significant improvement in the understanding of genetics and developmental syndromes has been seen. In this context, the study of endocrinological aspects in patients with genetic syndromes is acquiring increasing significance.This book documents a workshop held in Rome in April 2008 and presents recent advances in the study of developmental syndromes and epigenetics. Contributions by international experts focus on the genetic aspects of Beckwith-Wiedemann, Silver-Russel, Prader-Willi and Angelman syndromes and many more.Providing an eclectic update on the endocrine involvement in developmental syndromes, this book will be of interest to clinicians and researchers in endocrinology, pediatrics and genetics.
Textbook of Clinical Pediatrics
The new edition of this classic reference offers a problem-based approach to pediatric diseases. It encompasses almost all pediatric subspecialties and covers every pediatric disease and organ system. It includes case studies and over 750 lavish illustrations.
Developmental Biology of GH Secretion, Growth and Treatment
In the last few years, rapid progress has taken place in our understanding of the developmental biology of GH secretion and the pivotal role it plays in growth.This book keeps the reader updated on the most important developmental aspects and influences leading to changes in terms of clinical views. In ten chapters, well-known scientists and clinicians cover some of the most important progress made in recent times. The first chapters discuss pituitary gland development and imaging in detail followed by a comprehensive presentation of the genetics of the GH axis. Further chapters present a detailed overview of the epigenetics and bioinformatics of GH.This collection of up-to-date investigative data and reviews is of relevance not only to scientists involved in endocrinology but also to any physician interested in growth and development.
The Pituitary
The pituitary, albeit a small gland, is known as the "master gland" of the endocrine system and contributes to a wide spectrum of disorders, diseases, and syndromes. Since the publication of the second edition of The Pituitary, in 2002, there have been major advances in the molecular biology research of pituitary hormone production and action and there is now a better understanding of the pathogenesis of pituitary tumors and clinical syndromes resulting in perturbation of pituitary function. There have also been major advances in the clinical management of pituitary disorders. Medical researchers and practitioners now better understand the morbidity and mortality associated with pituitary ho...
38th International Symposium on Growth Hormone and Growth Factors in Endocrinology and Metabolism
This issue is a dedicated supplement published in addition to the regular issues of 'Hormone Research' focussing on one specific topic. 'Hormone Research' is a well-respected, international peer-reviewed journal in Endocrinology. Supplement issues are included in the subscription.
Reproductive Health and the Environment
This book reviews recent trends and developments in the study of the impact that the environment has on human reproduction. It thoroughly examines these issues, using the most modern techniques and methods available, to analyze the manner in which both male and female fertility can be affected and assessed. Coverage examines such diverse factors as toxic environmental contaminants, air pollution, and exposure to medical drugs.
Transition of Care
Pediatricians face many questions and challenges during patients’ transition from childhood to adulthood. Chronic diseases justify long-term medical, psychological, educational, and social management. The establishment of networks with adult endocrinologists is, therefore, very important to achieving optimal conditions for a successful transition period. In this book, leading experts discuss major public health issues such as diabetes and obesity. They also review genetic diseases, including Turner syndrome and congenital adrenal hyperplasia. All clinical cases are presented in a focused way to highlight any issues which might be discussed by the doctor with patients and family. Psychological approaches are debated as are proposals for defining specific tools to encourage autonomy during this life period. This book is a valuable tool and will be helpful in answering many questions for endocrinologists, adult and pediatric, dedicated to the long-term management of patients with chronic diseases.
Atlas of Surgical Approaches to Paranasal Sinuses and the Skull Base
This richly illustrated atlas, compiled by authors with extensive experience in the field, offers a step-by-step guide to the surgical treatment of tumors, and congenital diseases of the skull base and nasal sinuses. Particular attention is devoted to the various techniques employed for extirpation of tumors and reconstruction of the skull base and Paranasal Sinuses. In order to facilitate understanding of the different approaches, clear surgical illustrations are presented alongside the high-quality intraoperative photographs. Whenever appropriate, technical tips are provided and briefly discussed. This atlas will appeal to a broad audience of residents, fellows, and consultants in different fields of medicine, including surgeons (head and neck, neurosurgery, otolaryngology, plastic and reconstructive surgery, ophthalmology, maxillofacial surgery) and oncologists.
