Endocrine Pathophysiology

A Concise Guide to the Physical Exam

By: Andrea Manni,Akuffo Quarde

This practical guide presents a concise approach to exploring endocrine pathophysiology through the physical exam, emphasizing common clinical signs in endocrinology that can be elicited through inspection, palpation, percussion or auscultation. The established and proposed mechanisms underlying these physical signs are highlighted, allowing students, residents and trainees to better appreciate endocrine pathophysiology at the bedside. The text is organized sensibly to facilitate quick and efficient review by medical trainees. Major diseases in endocrinology are grouped by organ systems - pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, and so on. Specific physical examination findings in each primary endocrine disease are reviewed and grouped under the categories of clinical features and pathophysiology, followed by related clinical and pathophysiology pearls. A brief description of the clinical finding is followed by a summary of the pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying the stated clinical finding. Relevant normal physiology and pathophysiology are reviewed where applicable, to facilitate learning. There are numerous texts on the pathophysiologic basis of diagnostic and laboratory findings in endocrinology. There is, however, no dedicated text to address questions that might be asked by trainees. Endocrine Pathophysiology satisfies this need in the literature.

Endocrine Pathophysiology

A Practical Guide to Medical Therapies

By: Akuffo Quarde

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.
