Disorders associated with cortisol excess and insufficiency, although rare, deserve the attention of the entire medical community because of high associated morbidity and mortality. Both diagnosis and management of hypo- and hypercortisolism are challenging, and disease presentation, at both clinical and laboratory level is not always definite. New tools are available for non-invasive and early diagnosis, and the choice of treatment should be tailored to each patient to improve quality of life through the regulation of the levels and rhythm of hormonal secretion, while limiting complications associated with the disease and therapies. In this new volume, top experts have contributed chapters on the pathognomonic, epidemiological, clinical, radiological, and laboratory aspects of the various disorders associated with altered cortisol secretion. They also present information on still debated standpoints on management. Cortisol Excess and Insufficiency is a valuable reference book for those wishing to have a reasoned and broad overview of the pathophysiology and management of disorders associated with hypo- and hypercortisolism.
Testosterone provides the most comprehensive source of information on testosterone and its role in physiology and pathology.
In medicine, endocrinology is perhaps the domain that encompasses the most molecular imaging using radioactive agents, also called radiopharmaceuticals. This is due to the diversity of molecular targets, including hormone synthesis pathways expressed uniquely by endocrine tumors and the growing knowledge in their pathophysiology and genetics. Those radiopharmaceuticals not only serve as diagnostic agents, but can also serve as a platform for characterizing endocrine disorders and treat patients and be used to monitor intracellular events that are induced by various therapies. Finally, they may be able to predict the aggressiveness and metastatic potential of endocrine tumors. This book provides comprehensive and up-to-date insights into the diagnostic, therapeutic, and future approaches of nuclear medicine to endocrine tumors in a new spirit of precision medicine. It will be of interest to practicing physicians, including nuclear medicine specialists, radiologists, endocrinologists, and oncologists, as well as fellows in training, students, and other health care professionals.

Now in its third edition, the Oxford Textbook of Endocrinology and Diabetes is an up-to-date, objective and comprehensive text that covers the full scope of endocrinology and diabetes. It contains wide ranging and pragmatic advice on diagnosis and clear guidelines for recommended management, while also covering the scientific principles that underlie the medical practice in this important field. The book has been re-organised into 15 overarching sections, with new sections on Endocrinology of Pregnancy and Management of the Transgender Patient included. All other sections have been extensively updated and restructured. Each chapter is written by an internationally acknowledged expert, relate...
