Chapter 1: Introduction to the Endocrine System
The endocrine system is a network of glands that secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream, controlling physiological events throughout the body (Figure 1.1). Endocrine function and hormone action mediate long-term effects by acting on all cellular processes and systems. They influence growth and development, tissue function, metabolism, reproduction, sexual development, fluid and nutrient homeostasis, and behavior.

Case Discussions in Endocrinology

Endocrinology and metabolic diseases involve very common diseases like diabetes, obesity, polycystic ovary syndrome, hypertension and thyroid disorders. Endocrinology diseases especially adrenal, pituitary, thyroid, gonadal, and metabolic-related diseases require clinical experience, expertise and collaboration with other departments, and are so important for evaluating endocrine diseases. Expertise can only be gained by different case evaluations. Endocrinologists and internal medicine specialists should increase their capacity of creative thinking about their patients for more accurate patient care. This book is a compilation of work that may be beneficial for endocrinology and internal medicine residents, surgeons, and medical students. The purpose of this book is to cover up-to-date practical endocrine case management, daily practice and manage difficult cases in endocrinology. The authors would be happy if readers would send comments, feedback and suggestions so they can correct their mistakes and can arrange a second book with new cases according to their suggestions. Special thanks are given to the consultants in the Endocrinology Department and other departments in Ankara University for sharing their clinical expertise with the authors. Many thanks are also given to Nadya S. Gotsiridze-Columbus, Carra Feagaiga, Stella Rosa and Nova Science Publishers for their extraordinary organizational help.

Challenging Cases in Endocrinology (Contemporary Endocrinology) 2002nd Edition

Distinguished clinician-scientists describe in concise studies their most difficult cases and reveal what they did, how they did it, and why. The cases cover a wide range of endocrine problems. Each case study reviews how the patient was managed, details the reasons why various tests and treatments-many only recently available-were carried out, and provides references to ensure that those novel methodologies can be easily translated into the endocrine specialist’s daily practice. The authors provide practical solutions for these difficult-to-manage cases, and successfully apply knowledge fresh from the laboratory to decisions about patient management. Practical and stimulating, Challenging Cases in Endocrinology demonstrates for every clinical endocrinologist precisely how specialists approach their most challenging cases and how these approaches can be effectively applied in the daily practice of endocrinology.
