Endocrinology Books
Harvard University Press Endocrinology of Social Relationships
Book SynopsisThis book, a rare melding of human and animal research and theoretical and empirical science, ventures into the most interesting realms of behavioral biology to examine the intimate role of endocrinology in social relationships.Trade ReviewThe first volume to pull together the emerging field of human behavioral endocrinology as the product of a long evolutionary history exerting subtle influences throughout modern societies. The distinguished and authoritative assemblage of authors share their enthusiasm and leave no doubt that this will be an influential scientific discipline in the years to come. -- Katherine E. Wynne-Edwards, University of Calgary Faculty of Veterinary MedicineThe editors and their authors have produced a definitive and scholarly, yet readable, state-of-the-art presentation of a fascinating and timely topic. This landmark volume is rich in ideas, conclusions, and questions for the future. As the editors point out, we are all being exposed, like it or not, to hormones in the environment and to ads full of claims about the benefits of administering hormones. We need to understand how such hormones might (or might not) be affecting social relationships. Will spraying on some oxytocin make your colleagues like you? Probably not, but reading Endocrinology of Social Relationships produced warm feelings about the ability of good science to illuminate the human condition. -- Elizabeth Adkins-Regan * Science *[This book] is an incredible resource for anyone who has studied or ever wondered about the biological underpinnings of human's (or even non-human's) social interactions...In the past 15 years, there have been many studies published on the topic of hormones' roles in social relationships, but never before has there been one definitive volume that reviews the entire area with such a high degree of accuracy. Given that some developments within this area have been recent, the book represents a formidable effort to collect the modern work into one volume, and as a result, it will serve as a "go-to" text for many years. -- Maryanne Fisher * Evolutionary Psychology *Table of Contents* Introduction: Endocrinology of Social Relationships Peter B.

TFM Publishing Ltd The Wise Scalpel: Tips & Traps in liver,
Book SynopsisSurgery remains a challenge for young learners. Perhaps the most difficult of all surgeries are those done on the liver, biliary tree and pancreas. These organs are difficult to expose, difficult to operate and the patients are often difficult to recover. There are significant consequences for any missteps on what is a narrow pathway to a successful outcome. The skills needed to master surgery on these organs are hard to acquire. The volume of information presented to students is enormous and complex to parse. HPB textbooks contain a large amount of information from various authors but are often poorly coordinated. Surgical manuals contain significant anatomic details and descriptions but have difficulty transferring key concepts. Experienced surgeons are often oblivious to their skills and communicate poorly to their students regarding the things they do or understand that make them wise. This book tries to capture this wisdom. The topics in this book are most applicable to hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeons but really extend to all general surgeons. Anyone who operates in the abdomen must have a basic understanding of these dominant organs; general surgery trainees and staff are an additional focus of this book. The skills needed for a modern surgeon to succeed are much broader than the scalpel tip. Section I, HPB Surgical Craft, imparts important lessons on the laws of human interactions and cognitive aspects of surgery. Sections on the anatomy and operations on the liver, pancreas and bile ducts are presented. The expanded gallbladder section and pancreatitis chapters are of particular importance to general surgery residents. This book has been written in a readable and entertaining style, with many fun historical and contemporary quotes dotted throughout. The Wise Scalpel is an attempt to impart knowledge and understanding to students and practicing surgeons at all levels. The book focuses on tips, traps and underlying truths about the diseases of these organs and their surgical treatment. While this book will not supplant the struggle needed to move from novice to expert surgeon, hopefully it will quicken the process and help avoid some of the dangers and frustrations along the way.

De Gruyter Schilddrüse 2005: Henning-Symposium. 17. Konferenz über die menschliche Schilddrüse, Heidelberg
Book SynopsisDie 17. Konferenz über die menschliche Schilddrüse stand ganz im Zeichen der Hypothyreose. Die Schilddrüsenunterfunktion gehört zu den meist verbreiteten Hormonfunktionsstörungen. Besonders betroffen sind ältere Menschen über 60 Jahre. Frauen erkranken deutlich häufiger als Männer. Darüber hinaus weist eins von etwa 3.500 Neugeborenen eine angeborene Hypothyreose auf. Damit ist sie die häufigste Stoffwechselkrankheit bei Neugeborenen. Der Mangel an Schilddrüsenhormonen beeinflusst den ganzen Organismus und hat z.B. Auswirkungen auf Haut und Haar, das Herz-Kreislauf-System und geistige Funktionen. In diesem Buch präsentieren renommierte Wissenschaftler aktuelle und praxisrelevante Ergebnisse zu Ursachen, klinischer Manifestation, Diagnostik und Therapie der Hypothyreose.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Inborn Metabolic Diseases: Diagnosis and
Book SynopsisThis 7th edition is a milestone in the series of Inborn Metabolic Diseases (IMD), recognised as the standard textbook for professionals involved in the diagnosis and management of IMD.Within the last 5 years a Copernican revolution in our understanding of IMD has changed the definition, concepts, paradigms, and classification. This new edition now extends the concept of IMD to include those disturbances in molecular machinery diagnosed by molecular techniques but currently without measurable metabolic markers.The book presents a clinical and biochemical approach to the diagnosis and management of IEM with many diagnostic algorithms for patients of all ages and with a particular focus on neurological presentations. It includes separate, comprehensive sections on IEM classified in 3 major pathophysiological categories: disorders of energy metabolism, both mitochondrial and non-mitochondrial; small molecule disorders, mostly diagnosed with metabolic markers; and complex molecules disorders, mostly diagnosed with molecular techniques.Two new chapters were added, describing around 600 disorders of nucleic acid metabolism, tRNA metabolism, ribosomal biogenesis, and cellular trafficking.Table of ContentsI Diagnosis and treatment: General principles: 1 Clinical Approach to Inborn Errors of Metabolism in Paediatrics.- 2 Inborn Errors of Metabolism in Adults: A Diagnostic Approach to Neurological and Psychiatric Presentations.- 3 Diagnostic Procedures.- 4 Emergency Treatments II Disorders of Energy Metabolism 5 The Glycogen Storage Diseases and Related Disorders.- 6 Congenital Hyperinsulinism and Genetic Disorders of Insulin Resistance and Signalling.- 7 Disorders of Glycolysis and the Pentose Phosphate Pathway.- 8 Disorders of Glucose and Monocarboylic Acid Monocarboxylate Transporters.- 9 Disorders of Creatine Metabolism.- 10 Disorders of the Oxidative Phosphorylation .- 11 Disorders of Pyruvate Metabolism and the Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle.- 12 Disorders of Mitochondrial Fatty Acid Oxidation and Riboflavin Metabolism.- 13 Disorders of Ketogenesis and Ketolysis III Small Molecule Disorders 14 Disorders of Galactose Metabolism.- 15 Disorders of Fructose Metabolism.- 16 Hyperphenylalaninaemia.- 17 Disorders of Tyrosine Metabolism.- 18 Branched-chain Organic Acidurias/Acidaemias.- 19 Disorders of the Urea Cycle and Related Enzymes.- 20 Disorders of Sulfur Amino Acid Metabolism.- 21 Disorders of Ornithine and Proline Metabolism.- 22 Cerebral Organic Acid Disorders and Other Disorders of Lysine Catabolism.- 23 Nonketotic Hyperglycinaemia and Lipoate Deficiency Disorders.- 24 Disorders of Glutamine, Serine and Asparagine Metabolism.- 25 Disorders of Amino Acid Transport at the Cell Membrane.- 26 Cystinosis.- 27 Biotin-Responsive Disorders.- 28 Disorders of Cobalamin and Folate Transport and Metabolism.- 29 Disorders of Thiamine and Pyridoxine Metabolism.- 30 Disorders of Neurotransmission.- 31 Disorders of Peptide and Amine Metabolism.- 32 Disorders of Purine and Pyrimidine Metabolism.- 33 Disorders of Haem Biosynthesis.- 34 Disorders in the Transport of Copper, Iron, Magnesium, Manganese, Selenium and Zinc IV Complex Molecule Disorders and Cellular Trafficking Disorders 35 Disorders of intracellular triglycerides and phospholipid metabolism.- 36 Inborn Errors of Lipoprotein Metabolism Presenting in Childhood.- 37 Disorders of Isoprenoid/Cholesterol Synthesis.- 38 Disorders of Bile Acid Synthesis.- 39 Disorders of Nucleic Acid Metabolism, tRNA Metabolism and Ribosomal Biogenesis.- 40 Disorders of Sphingolipid Synthesis, Sphingolipidoses, Niemann-Pick Disease Type C and Neuronal Ceroid- Lipofuscinoses.- 41 Glycosaminoglycans and Oligosaccharides Disorders: Glycosaminoglycans Synthesis Defects, Mucopolysaccharidoses, Oligosaccharidoses and Sialic Acid Disorders.- 42 Inborn Errors of Non-Mitochondrial Fatty Acid Metabolism Including Peroxisomal Disorders.- 43 Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation, Dolichol and Glycosylphosphatidylinositol Metabolism.- 44 Disorders of Cellular Trafficking V Appendices 45 Medications Used in the Treatment of Inborn Errors
