Encyclopedia Of Endocrinology

More than 600 A-to-Z entries cover issues related to menOCOs physical and mental health and well-being, including physiology, life span, diseases and conditions (including treatment protocols, procedures, and surgeries), genetics, medications, vitamins and supplements, psychology, sports medicine, sexual health, relationships, menOCOs fertility, fatherhood, and more. Allopathic, complementary, and integrative approaches to menOCOs health are also discussed. An extensive bibliography, a directory of leading menOCOs health research centers and organizations, and a glossary of key terms round out this comprehensive reference."

The Encyclopedia of Endocrine Diseases is an authoritative reference developed by 16 international experts who recruited the world's top scientists for contributions. This stellar reference work focuses on nearly 500 endocrine diseases addressing everything from acromeglay, diabetes, hypertension, osteoporosis, thyroid disease, Von Hippel-Lindau Disease, unexplained weight loss, to androgen related disorders. This encyclopedia is an essential addition to any library collection written to be accessible for both the clinical and non-clinical reader. Associate Editors include: Eli Y. Adashi, John P. Bilezikian, George P. Chrousos, Junichi Fukata, Julianne Imperato-McGinley, Hiroo Imura, Antonio Liuzzi, Frank L. Moore, Daniel Porte, Jens F. Rehfeld, Ellis Samols, Gustav Schonfeld, Pierre C.

Written by experienced and internationally renowned contributors, this book elucidates the different aspects of endocrinology. It presents current knowledge about the fundamental and clinical features of endocrinology. The book offers students and experts an analysis of current endocrine research and its clinical applications. It examines the endocrine functions of the kidneys and how the kidney acts as a target for hormones from other organ structures. This book intends to present well conducted researches for its readers.

This book will present readers with a general as well as an advanced overview of the essential trends in endocrine disorders. Apart from covering a variety of topics including thyroid carcinogenesis and pituitary adenomas, this book also discusses more specific issues which have not yet been fully elucidated. These include molecular pathways involved in thyrotropin beta gene regulation or monogenic phosphate balance disorders. This book will provide an opportunity to readers from distinct backgrounds to attain knowledge and clarify areas of uncertainty and controversies in several topics of endocrine disorders.

The state-of-the-art therapies in the field of endocrinology are discussed in this book. Over the past two decades, evidence of growing trends of various endocrine-related disorders has strengthened. The reason for these disorders is mostly unclear endocrine disruption or/and lack of uniform diagnosis. Unclear endocrine disruption is primarily because of unusual classical changes in the blood-released hormone to its targeted organ, abnormal contact between cells within a tissue or organ (paracrine), within the same cell (intracrine) or signals which act on the same cell (autocrine). These challenges compel the endocrinologists with an immediate need to address huge knowledge gaps in this vast field of research on Endocrinology. From the perspective viewpoint that "hormones control our bodies," it is the need of the hour to get these hormones rebalanced so that we are able to restore overall health.

Leading scientists and clinicians create a concise yet comprehensive encyclopedia of the latest scientific and clinical knowledge covering the entire spectrum of endocrinology-from mammalian cells, plants, and insects to animal models and human disease. Their book illuminates the scientific principles underlying all aspects of hormone secretion and hormone action and leads the reader toward a full understanding of the pathogenesis of human endocrine disease. It will be indispensable to physicians and scientists as well as to students who need a high-quality, up-to-date critical survey and reference to endocrinology today.

The aim of the book is to provide basic as well as advanced trends with an analytical focus on endocrine disorders. Apart from covering a variety of topics including adrenal tumors and metabolic bone disease, this book also discusses more specific issues which have not yet been fully elucidated. These include molecular pathways involved in thyrotropin beta gene regulation or monogenic phosphate balance disorders. This book will provide an opportunity to readers from distinct backgrounds to attain knowledge and clarify areas of uncertainty and controversies in several topics of endocrine disorders.
