Book Description
"Man's natural instinct, in fact, is never toward what is sound and true. It is toward what is specious and false . . . The ideas that conquer the race most rapidly and arouse the wildest enthusiasm and are held most tenaciously are precisely the ideas that are most insane. This has been true since the first 'advanced' gorilla put on underwear, cultivated a frown and began his first lecture tour, . . . " H. L. Mencken, from Meditation On Meditation in the Smart Set, June, 1920 pp 45-46 In our opinion there is no field of clinical medicine in such a state of dynamic disequilibrium as clin ical thyroidology. Thyroid diseases are very common. The moderately complex but easily understandable physiological interrelationships between the thyroid, pituitary and hypothalamus have provided stimuli for the application of mod ern technology in the development of an array of diagnostic procedures. Although therapeutic methods have been more stable, and recent advances more limited, their application by phy- Joel I. Hambufl~er. M. D. sicians representing different disciplines has pro vided an ample basis for the expression of differ ing viewpoints. Unfortunately there are few opportunities for in-depth exploration of different attitudes and experience relevant to issues of current interest. The review process employed by medical journals often seems to stifle the expression of controver sial viewpoints.

Werner & Ingbar's the Thyroid
Author: Sidney C. Werner
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 1114
Book Description
Brandon/Hill suggests this classic text both for an initial purchase and as essential for the minimal core collection. The ninth edition, edited by Braverman (Boston U. School of Medicine) and Utiger (Harvard Medical School) presents revised and updated material, with 81 chapters grouped into nine sections. Among the chapter topics are genomic and nongenomic actions of thyroid hormones, chronic autoimmune thyroiditis, genetic defects causing hypothyroidism, subclinical hypothyroidism, subclinical thyrotoxicosis, and thyroid disease during pregnancy. Several topics merit multiple chapters, including hypothyroidism in infants and children, carcinoma of follicular epithelium, Graves' disease, and thyrotropin. Each chapter is signed and concludes with a lengthy bibliography. Annotation : 2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).

Diagnosis and Management of Endocrine-related Tumors
Author: Richard J. Santen
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461328497
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 462
Book Description
Patients with a variety of tumors present to the physician because of clinical manifestations of hormones secreted in excess. This phenomenon attracted the investigative interest of such pioneers as Harvey Cushing who recognized that pituitary tumors may cause acromegaly and Charles Mayo who associated hyper tension with adrenal medullary neoplasms. Current int~rest in endocrine-related tumors has intensified because of the explosive development of newer methodol ogy for their study. Specific measurements of secretory products, hybridization assays to identify products of genomic translation and quantitative assessment of tissue hormone receptors have provided means of characterizing and precisely following patients with endocrine-related tumors. Treatments based upon these advances are rapidly proliferating. The current volume attempts to synthesize much of this recent information with the goal of providing a sound basis for making clinical judgements regarding diagnosis and management. Tumors of endocrine glandular tissues commonly confront practicing physi cians with difficult management problems. Several unique features of these tumors necessitate collaboration among various specialty disciplines in order to resolve these problems and to provide a high level of clinical care. For example, endocrine neoplasms secrete active hormones or hormone precursors which produce clinical manifestations most familiar to endocrinologists. Certain thera pies such as radioactive iodine for thyroid cancer take advantage of the hormone responsiveness of these tumors to facilitate treatment. These aspects require individuals trained in endocrinology to implement complex diagnostic and thera peutic maneuvers.
