Endocrinology in Clinical Practice, 2nd Edition
by Philip E. Harris (Editor), Pierre-Marc G. Bouloux (Editor)
Endocrinology is an intricate and evolving field of medicine that deals with the study and treatment of diseases and disorders related to the endocrine system. As our understanding of this complex system improves, there is a growing need for a personalized approach to patient management, with a focus on underlying disease mechanisms and biomarkers. In the second edition of Endocrinology in Clinical Practice, internationally renowned specialists provide a cutting-edge, problem-oriented approach to the management of clinical problems in endocrinology.
This comprehensive book covers a wide range of topics and is organized in a logical and easy-to-follow format. The editors, Philip E. Harris and Pierre-Marc G. Bouloux, have done an excellent job of bringing together experts in the field to provide the most up-to-date information and research in endocrinology. Each chapter focuses on a specific clinical problem and provides a detailed overview, diagnostic considerations, treatment options, and safety concerns.
One of the highlights of the second edition is the inclusion of an overview of neuroendocrine diseases, which have become increasingly important in clinical practice. The book also explores the recent strides made in the identification of aryl hydrocarbon receptor-interacting protein mutations in patients with familial isolated pituitary adenomas. This new information has significant implications for the diagnosis and treatment of these patients.
Another important topic covered in the book is the diverse roles of IGF-I. This hormone has been the subject of much research and is implicated in a variety of physiological processes. The book discusses the latest findings and their clinical implications.
The field of diagnostic imaging has also seen significant advancements in recent years, particularly with the increasing use of positron emission tomography (PET). The book discusses these new imaging techniques and their applications in endocrinology.
One area that has seen a rapid increase in incidence is neuroendocrine tumors. The book covers the management of these tumors, including the latest treatment options and clinical trials.
Hereditary primary hyperparathyroidism and multiple endocrine neoplasia are also discussed in detail. These conditions have significant genetic implications and require a multidisciplinary approach to management.
Mechanistic and genomic advances related to disorders of calcium regulation and infertility are also covered in the book. This information is invaluable for clinicians treating patients with these conditions.
The endocrinology of aging is another important topic covered in the book. With the aging population, clinicians need to be aware of the specific endocrine changes that occur with age and their implications on patient management.
The book also provides protocols for pituitary function testing, which is a vital aspect of endocrine evaluation.
The second edition of Endocrinology in Clinical Practice has been updated to include the latest research data, diagnostic techniques, and treatment options. The editors have also addressed safety concerns related to existing therapies. This edition offers current guidance and scientifically focused information relevant to a range of clinical problems, making it an essential reference for practicing endocrinologists and specialist clinicians.
