Autoimmune Diseases in Endocrinology (Contemporary Endocrinology) By Anthony P. Weetman Publisher: Humana Press Number Of Pages: 434 Publication Date: 2007-12-11 ISBN-10 / ASIN: 1588297330 ISBN-13 / EAN: 9781588297334 Binding: Hardcover Book Description: Autoimmune Diseases in Endocrinology is a comprehensive and novel text that examines key features that predispose individuals to autoimmune diseases. The text begins with three introductory chapters which provide sufficient information so that anyone, including those without a background in recent immunology, will be able to understand the developments in the field. The next and largest section of the book concerns autoimmune thyroid disease, and authors of these chapters take the reader through the basic epidemiology, genetic and environmental risk factors, immunopathogenesis, and the diagnostic and management aspect of the disease. The next section discusses Type 1 diabetes mellitus. In the final section, authors explain other autoimmune endocrinopathies, including Addisons disease, premature ovarian failure, autoimmune hypophysitis, and autoimmune polyglandular syndrome types 1 and 2. Comprehensive and timely, Autoimmune Diseases in Endocrinology will become an essential reference for all endocrinologists and internal medicine practitioners working in this field. LINK TO DOWNLOAD

Basic Endocrinology for Students of Pharmacy and Allied Health Sciences

Basic Endocrinology for Students of Pharmacy and Allied Health SciencesBy Andrew Constanti, Andrzej Bartke
Publisher: CRC
Number Of Pages: 156
Publication Date: 1998-01-01
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 9057022516
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9789057022517
Binding: Paperback
Product Description:
This textbook has been written primarily for undergraduate students of pharmacy, toxicology, and medicine who require a concise reference book on basic endocrine function and dysfunction. The book maintains a clear focus on key concepts throughout, which allows for the rapid and accurate retrieval of information necessary for exams. Following an introductory chapter on the organization and function of the endocrine system and the concepts of feedback regulation on hormone release, subsequent chapters deal with the endocrine secretions of each major endocrine gland, mechanisms controlling hormone release, principal actions of the various hormones in the body and the clinically encountered endocrine disorders that can arise when those hormones are under or over secreted. Basic Endocrinology is an ideal up-to-date introductory text for students who need to learn about endocrinology and the common disorders of endocrine function and their therapy, quickly, effectively and with the minimum amount of reading time. Each section ends with a series of short review questions and clinical case studies which will be of use to students for exam preparation and revision. Original source references are also presented for more advanced students who wish to read further.

A Case-Based Guide to Clinical Endocrinology (Contemporary Endocrinology)By Terry F. Davies
Publisher: Humana Press
Number Of Pages: 486
Publication Date: 2008-06-24
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 1588298159
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9781588298157
Binding: Hardcover
Product Description:

Written cases provide a thoughtful review of modern management and contemplation of the literature, much more so than even a case presentation without the patient. As a result, in recent years the written or prepared case has become the ideal forum for demonstrating how to manage a medical problem to the greatest benefit of the patient. In A Case-Based Guide to Clinical Endocrinology, distinguished clinicians provide stimulating instruction and insights into a wide variety of endocrine subjects, teaching readers modern management of the conditions described and offering targeted entry into the literature. Importantly, many of the important elements in the current curriculum for clinical endocrine training as recommended by the Association of Program Directors in Clinical Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism are covered in this text. To reinforce learning and retention of knowledge, each author has also provided multiple choice questions following the case studies. Students, residents, fellows, and practitioners will find these examples to be an efficient way to review their understanding and increase their skills and abilities in patient investigation and management.
In all, A Case-Based Guide to Clinical Endocrinology offers a comprehensive volume of concise case-studies that will prove to be of significant importance to all clinicians practicing in this field.

Genomics in Endocrinology: DNA Microarray Analysis in Endocrine Health and Disease (Contemporary Endocrinology)By Stuart Handwerger, Bruce Aronow
Publisher: Humana Press
Number Of Pages: 292
Publication Date: 2007-12-18
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 1588296512
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9781588296511
Binding: Hardcover
Book Description:

In recent years, the development of new technologies capable of monitoring genome function has resulted in fewer hopeful estimates and increasingly solid depictions of genome output from individual samples. Genomics in Endocrinology focuses on exciting new advances in endocrinology resulting from DNA microarray studies and includes a comprehensive introduction to the use of DNA microarrays in endocrinology. The volume provides the basis for further understanding of the usefulness of microarray analyses in endocrinology research. Topics discussed are the methodology of DNA microarrays and general methods for the analysis of microarray data, as well as studies of a wide variety of normal and abnormal endocrine cells.
In the introductory chapter, the volumes editors describe several issues in hypothesis formulation, experimental design, data analysis, and follow-up studies that may corroborate, validate, and extend hypotheses gained through microarray analyses. The contributed chapters span a variety of applications that we have divided into the areas of (1) genomic insights into molecular mechanisms responsible for hormone action, (2) genomic characterizations of endocrine producing tissues, and (3) genomic manifestations of diseases of hormonal systems.
A volume on the cutting-edge of technology, Genomics in Endocrinology will provide researchers with an authoritative volume on the most recent advances in monitoring genome function.
