MRI Atlas of Pituitary Imaging focuses on magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI), the imaging modality of choice for the evaluation of
pituitary disorders, since it provides a detailed anatomy of the
pituitary gland and surrounding structures, particularly the soft
tissues. A basic understanding and interpretation of MRI is
important for many clinicians outside of the field of radiology,
especially endocrinologists who may receive limited formal training
in such areas. This concise Atlas includes a brief review of the
principles of magnetic resonance imaging and then reinforces these
principles by utilizing a case-based approach to review various
pituitary pathologies. The Atlas serves as a strong clinical
teaching aid for endocrinologists, radiologists, and neurosurgeons
in training. It also serves as a great reference for physicians who
are currently in practice.
Endocrine Board Review (EBR) 11th Edition, Reference Edition 2019
is a board examination preparation book designed for endocrine
fellows who have completed or are nearing completion of their
fellowship and are preparing to sit for the board certification
exam, and for practicing endocrinologists in search of a
comprehensive self-assessment of endocrinology, either to prepare
for recertification or to update their practice. EBR consists of
approximately 240 case-based, American Board of Internal Medicine
(ABIM) style, multiple-choice questions. Each section follows the
ABIM Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism Certification
Examination blueprint, covering the breadth and depth of the
certification and recertification examinations. Each case is
discussed in detail with detailed answer explanations and
references provided. EBR is updated annually with new questions.
Customers are advised that this book is a reference edition and the
questions in it are designed for self-study and reference. The
content is the same as the non-reference edition, but CME and MOC
credits are not available upon completion of the material. Anyone
with questions about CME and/or MOC credits should consult

Leon Chesley's Hypertensive Disorders in Pregnancy was initially
published in 1978. Four decades later, hypertension complications
in pregnancy are still a major cause of fetal and maternal
morbidity and death, especially in less developed nations. It is
also a leading cause of preterm birth now known to be a risk factor
in remote cardiovascular disease. Despite this, hypertensive
disorders remain marginally studied and management is often
controversial. Chesley's Hypertensive Disorders in Pregnancy, Fifth
Edition continues its tradition as one of the beacons to guide the
field of preeclampsia research, recognized for its uniqueness and
utility. This revision focuses on prediction, prevention, and
management for clinicians, and is an essential reference text for
clinical and basic investigators alike. It provides a superb
analysis of the multiple topics that relate to hypertension in
pregnancy, especially of preeclampsia.

endocrinology, diabetes, growth, and metabolism. There is extensive
discussion of each correct answer and references. Pediatric ESAP
(TM) is updated every two years with new questions. Customers are
advised that this book is a reference edition and the questions in
it are designed for self-study and reference. The content is the

Understanding Insulin and Insulin Resistance is written in a simple
and clear language illustrated with diagrams that show the complex
interplay of various factors in the initiation of insulin
resistance. The design is systematic and meticulous, portraying
topics in a flow from simple to complex. This resource is intended
for a broad audience spanning across biochemistry, medicine,
dentistry, academia, physicians, and research scholars. It extends
the approach to biochemistry, physiology, metabolism of insulin
along with the coverage of pathophysiology of insulin resistance,
its effects on the body tissues, and its analysis on insulin
resistance syndrome.
"Diabetes: Oxidative Stress and Dietary Antioxidants" bridges
the trans-disciplinary divide among diabetologists,
endocrinologists, and nutritionists in understanding and treating
diabetes. The book covers, in a single volume, the science of
oxidative stress in diabetes and the potentially therapeutic use of
natural antioxidants in the diet or food matrix. The processes
within the science of oxidative stress are described in concert
with other processes such as apoptosis, cell signaling,
receptor-mediated responses and more. This approach recognizes that
diseases areusually multifactorial and that oxidative stress is a
single component of this.
Pharmacological treatments for diabetes are commonly marked by
unwanted side effects, leading to treatment efforts using naturally
occurring substances. But a plant-based approach alone is not
sufficient; understanding the processes inherent in the oxidative
stress of diabetes is vital for clinical workers, dietitians, and
nutritionists.
This translational work provides that understanding. The book
begins by covering the basic biology of oxidative stress from
molecular biology to imaging in relation to diabetes. There are
chapters on neuropathy, nephropathy, atherosclerosis,
cardiomyopathy, and retinopathy. The book then moves on to
antioxidants in foods, including plants, components of the diet,
and their relevance to diabetes.
Nutritionists will use the information related to mitochondrial
oxidative stress in one disease and propose new diet-related
strategies to prevent such conditions arising in another unrelated
disease.Dietitians will prescribe new foods or diets containing
antioxidants for conditions that are refractory by conventional
pharmacological treatments.Dietitians, after learning about the
basic biology of oxidative stress, will be able to suggest new
treatments to their multidisciplinary teams.Nutritionists and
dietitians will learn about cell signaling andwill be able to
suggest preventive or therapeutic strategies with antioxidant-rich
foods to reduce damage done by diseases involving abnormal cell
signaling."
