Book Description

The developing testis is a complex site of various differentiation events resulting in two main functions in adult life – gametogenesis and androgen biosynthesis. Testis research is multidisciplinary in its nature and attracts both basic and clinical scientists. The purpose of this volume has therefore been to bring together a group of expert scientists in the fields of physiology, endocrinology, pediatrics and andrology to sum up our current knowledge on human testicular development, from the state of male sex determination to the end of puberty. The contents span from molecular events in male sex determination and testis differentiation to clinical entities such as the testis in childhood cancer, cancer in the testis and gonadotropin receptor mutations. Testicular descent and cryptorchidism are reviewed from the eyes of a pediatrician rather than from the traditional surgical view.

Book Description

The first atlas devoted specifically to cardiometabolic risk, this book provides a concise, visual primer on the pathophysiology, epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, and clinical and radiologic features of this disorder. Describing recent care strategies and current practices in patient assessment, this source will allow clinicians to accurately identify and treat those patients at increased risk for metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.

Authored by leading clinical researchers in the field of cardiometabolic risk, this guide:

• offers step-by-step diagnostic and therapeutic protocols
• contains clinical photographs, radiographic images, schematic illustrations, algorithms, and tables summarizing key information
• analyzes the biochemical, physiologic, and molecular features of insulin resistance and associated morbidities
• examines the latest studies that indicate increased cardiovascular risk in pre-diabetes
• reviews non-pharmacologic therapies in the prevention of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndromes
• describes concepts in primordial care to reduce disease occurrence.

Book Description

Skin lesions are often the first sign for an endocrine disease. Their description is thus of relevance for early diagnosis and treatment of endocrine disease for specialists in endocrinology as well as in dermatology.

Lavishly illustrated, this book describes the clinical and histological features of skin lesions observed in endocrine diseases. All features are reader-friendly structured and written in the language of dermatologists in order to enable a simple association between the features observed and the endocrine etiology.
