Book SynopsisWhether you are a student of biomedicine or medicine, trainee, resident, or endocrinology fellow, Clinical Endocrinology provides you with the core information you need to understand this notoriously complex subject. The book describes the biochemistry, physiology, and anatomy that underpin clinical practice and then integrates genuine clinical cases to show the application of this basic science in diagnosis and treatment. Key features include: a flowing narrative that leads you through the basic science boxes that provide core reference information advanced boxes that provide additional material suitable for residents and fellows case studies that link with the text and describe the presentation, diagnosis, and management of real patients further clinical material that builds on the basic science and describes the causes of endocrine disorders, their clinical features, and treatment options coverage of the latest advances and discoveries self-assessment questions to test understanding The book is lavishly illustrated throughout with line drawings and clinical photographs. The authors, one a scientist and the other a clinician, guide you through the complexities of physiology and biochemistry so that you can understand the nature and management of endocrine pathologies. At all times they relate basic science to clinical medicine in a clear and lucid style that is both practical and clinically relevant. From reviews: "Clinical Endocrinology is very well written and beautifully illustrated." Lancet Diabetes Endocrinology, January 2013 "All in all this is an excellent, essential textbook which does the job admirably in terms of synthesising the essence of human physiology and excreting a patient-centred approach to addressing the clinical manifestations of endocrine hypo- and hyper-function." The Endocrinologist, December 2013 "This book would appeal particularly to medical students or endocrinologists in training... [It] provides a useful review of endocrinology in a comprehensive manner starting from basic science principles and ending with clinical applications." Doody's Notes, May 2013 About the authors: Professor Saffron Whitehead is Professor of Endocrine Physiology at St George's Medical School, University of London Dr John Miell is a Consultant Endocrinologist at University Hospital Lewisham, LondonTable of Contents1.

Book SynopsisFree digital access available with every print purchase. See inside the book for more details.In endocrine pathology, surgical pathologists often concentrate on neoplasms at the expense of nonneoplastic disease processes. This is unfortunate as nonneoplastic endocrine disorders are many times more common in the population. As in all fields of medicine, nonneo¬plastic endocrine diseases can closely mimic the neoplastic; an awareness of all aspects of pathology underpins routine clinical practice. This Fifth Series Fascicle offers pathologists and clinicians an opportunity to develop an increased understanding of nontumor endocrine pathology in order to inform patient care.

Book SynopsisDie technischen Fortschritte und neuen Möglichkeiten der molekularen Biologie – Genomanalysen, Expressionsanalysen, konfokale Lasermikroskopie, Proteomics – lassen die Physiologie von Wirbeltieren, genauso wie die von Nicht-Wirbeltieren, in einem neuen Licht erscheinen. Bei der Darstellung der Endokrinologie von Mensch und Tier wird dieser Entwicklung Rechnung getragen: Die Schwerpunkte liegen auf Hormonbiochemie, Hormonphysiologie, Hormonrezeptoren, endokrinen Organen und Regelkreisen und der Regelung endokriner Rhythmen. Die Betrachtung des Hormonsystems reicht von seinen Ursprüngen bei Invertebraten, seiner Evolution, den Wechselwirkungen mit Nerven- oder Immunsystem bis zu Stoffwechselstörungen bei menschlichen Gen-Defekten. Die 4. Auflage ist deutlich erweitert. Das Thema Stoffwechsel nimmt, verteilt über mehrere Kapitel, eine wesentlich größeren Raum ein. Komplett neu ist auch die Embryologie der endokrinen Organe.Trade Review“... Zusammenfassend handelt es sich beim „Kleine/Rossmanith" um ein kompaktes Lehrbuch, das die wesentlichen Bereiche der Endokrinologie abdeckt und für den Einstieg in dieses spannende Fach zu empfehlen ist.” (Jan Tuckermann, in: BIOspektrum, Jg. 28, Heft 4, 2022) “… Das Buch stellt eine immense Fleißarbeit dar, alleine die bei den einzelnen' Kapiteln angeführten Literaturverzeichnisse haben einen Umfang, den man in den üblichen Lehrbüchern nur noch selten findet. Das macht dieses Lehrbuch aber zu einem nützlichen Nachschlagewerk für jeden, der sich über spezielle Probleme der Endokrinologie auch unter evolutionären und vergleichenden Aspekten informieren will.” (Prof. Dr. L. Wildt, in: Der Gynäkologe, Heft 8, August 2021)Table of ContentsEinführung.- Zur Geschichte der Endokrinologie.- Hormone – eine Definition.- Protein- und Peptid-Hormone von Vertebraten.- Protein- und Peptide-Hormone von Invertebraten.- Juvenil- and Steroid-Hormone.- Produkte von Aminosäuren.- Hormonrezeptoren.- Bildung, Freisetzung und Wirkung.- Organe des Hormonsystems.- Regulationsmuster.- Endokrine Musik: Sekretionsrhythmen.- Evolution der Hormonbildung.- Krankheiten des endokrinen Systems.-Leistungssteigerung – legal und Illegal.- Anhang.

Book SynopsisA guided tour through the strange science of hormones and the age-old quest to control them.Trade Review"A rollicking history certain to get your intellectual and physiologic juices flowing. Adrenaline-tinged tales and hot flashes of history—just what the doctor ordered." -- Lisa Sanders, New York Times Magazine Diagnosis columnist"A sweeping, glorious story of hormones, threaded through with sex, suffering, neurology, biology, medicine and self-discovery, Randi Hutter Epstein’s book manages to excite the imagination as well as calm it. The story is grippingly told, and Epstein manages to bring a whole system of science alive to her reading public." -- Siddhartha Mukherjee, author of The Gene: An Intimate History"Hormones may be ringmasters of the bodily circus, controlling everything from sex to metabolic function, but in this invigorating history they become stars of the show." -- Nature"Congratulations to my friend @randihepstein on the publication of her book! I loved reading it and highly recommend it to anyone interested in public health or your own health!" -- Chelsea Clinton"I’m hitting up the public library for two. The first is Randi Hutter Epstein’s Aroused: The history of hormones and how they control just about everything (Norton), which I hope will answer the most banal of questions as I continue my reluctant march through midlife: What the hell is happening to me?" -- Jennie Erin Smith, Summer Books 2018 - Times Literary Supplement"The field of endocrinology, as this compelling history shows, has manifested extremes of ingenuity and hubristic error." -- The New Yorker"A well-written and informative book on the history of hormone research." -- The New York Times Book Review
