Endocrinology: Pathophysiology to Therapy 1st Edition

Endocrinology

Enables readers to form an integrated understanding of endocrine physiology by examining the mechanisms of action of medical therapies

Endocrinology: Pathophysiology to Therapy is a comprehensive resource on medical therapies; in each chapter, the relevant endocrine physiology of the medical therapy is presented, followed by a review of the detailed mechanism of action of selected medical interventions. Where applicable, emphasis is placed on clinical pharmacology pearls, such as side effects and therapeutic monitoring guidelines.

Supplementary chapters address additional topics, including immune checkpoint inhibitor-related endocrinopathies, anabolic steroid abuse, pseudo-endocrine conditions, and dynamic tests in clinical endocrinology. Rather than emphasizing guideline-defined treatment protocols, this??book directs attention towards the pathophysiology and fundamental principles of endocrine therapies.

Categories of therapies covered in Endocrinology include:

• Pituitary gland therapies, including Cushing’s disease, Acromegaly, Prolactinoma, adult growth hormone insufficiency, central diabetes insipidus, and syndrome of inappropriate ADH secretion
• Thyroid gland therapies, including Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, Graves’ Disease, Thyroid Eye Disease, Riedel’s thyroiditis, Thyroid hormone resistance, and RSH secreting tumors
• Adrenal gland therapies, including primary adrenal insufficiency, primary hyperaldosteronism, classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia
• Pancreatic gland therapies, including diabetes mellitus, neuroendocrine tumors, and hypoglycemia syndromes such as somatostatin analogs and calcium channel blockers

Discussing the rationale for using various therapies and enabling readers to appreciate complex concepts in a clinically relevant manner, Endocrinology is an essential reference for practitioners in related fields looking for an accessible and comprehensive resource on the subject.

A Case-Based Guide to Clinical Endocrinology (Contemporary Endocrinology)

In December 2005 I changed my mind [1]. Up until that time I had put my name on one case history in 400 publications [2]. I changed my mind and realized that reading case histories could be a good learning exercise. I had previously considered useful case histories to be essentially live case demonstrations. Indeed, I had persuaded years of endocrine clinical fellows that writing case histories was not something to be encouraged. But the cheese moved. Livecase historypresentationsbecametoo complexforeasy digestibility. Themany investigations and vast literature review required more contemplation than a live presentation had required in the past. And writing these exercises as a formal case history allowed the complex literature to be better understood. Furthermore, as our evidencebase hasgrown, theidiosyncraticapproachso commoninlivecase dem- strations of the past has become totally unacceptable. The written or prepared case has become the ideal forum for demonstrating how to manage a medical case to the greatest bene’t of the patient. Indeed, written case histories are clearly the very best means of showing medical care guidelines in real practiceandofrevealingtheiradvantagesanddisadvantages[3]. Thatdoesnotmean we should no longer give live case demonstrations. Demonstrating a supportive and knowledgeable patient can be a magni?cent teaching tool. For many years I have presentedendocrinologycasesto our?rst-yearmedicalstudents, andformanyyears these physicians later told me how much they enjoyed them and that they remember them well.
