Practical Stress Management, Eighth Edition emphasizes a positive
approach to stress management, covering topics such as relaxation
techniques, coping with anxiety, managing anger, communication
skills, exercise and nutrition. In this edition, the authors cover
the latest advances in stress management, as well as stress related
to the use of technology in education. The context of disasters,
such as the COVID-19 pandemic, is also incorporated throughout. The
workbook describes some of the surreptitious meditation techniques
from India not described before in any text. Worksheets and
Thoughts for Reflection boxes help users determine their own level
of stress to apply effective stress management techniques.

Gigantism and Acromegaly brings together pituitary experts, taking
readers from bench research, to genetic analysis, clinical
analysis, and new therapeutic approaches. This book serves as a
reference for growth hormone over-secretion and its diagnosis and
treatment for endocrinologists, pediatricians, internists, and
neurosurgeons, and for geneticists. Pharmaceutical companies may
use it as a reference for drug development and research. Students,
residents and fellows in medicine and endocrinology and genetics
will also find it valuable as it provides a single up-to-date
review of the molecular biology of gigantism and acromegaly as well
as recommended approaches to evaluation and management. Acromegaly
is a rare pituitary disorder that slowly changes its adult victim's
appearance over time: larger hands and feet, bigger jaw, forehead,
nose, and lips. Generally, a benign pituitary tumor is the cause
and symptoms of acromegaly can vary from patient to patient, making
a diagnosis difficult and prolonging suffering for years. Early
detection is key in the management of acromegaly as the pathologic
effects of increased growth hormone (GH) production are progressive
and can be life-threatening as the result of associated
cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and respiratory disorders and
malignancies.
Origins of Human Socialization introduces a new concept on the
origins of basic human instinct. The book combines the three
disciplinary approaches, including neuroscience, paleoanthropology
and developmental psychology as an intertwined foundation for
prosocial behavior. It argues that humans have the basic brain
mechanisms for prosocial activity, offering new insights into more
sophisticated social behavior. It also examines both visual and
auditory systems in both humans and animals to explain the
evolution of social interactions. Written by world-renowned
researcher Dr. Donald Pfaff, this book is the first to explore why
we have basic social instinct and how it works. For centuries,
researchers have argued over the foundations of human behavior in
society. Anthropologists point to transitions from hunter/gathers
to urban dwellers leading to human domestication. Developmental
psychologists highlight social competences in babies.
Neuroscientists focus on specific genetic and neurochemical
mechanisms that attribute to social behavior. This book brings all
of these important areas together in an interdisciplinary approach
that helps readers understand how they are linked.
Hormones and Synapse, Volume 114 in the Vitamins and Hormones
series, highlights advances in the field, with this new volume
presenting timely topics, including how growth hormone promotes
synaptogenesis, sex hormones and proteins involved in brain
plasticity, corticotropin releasing factor modulates excitatory
synaptic transmission, bisphenol a and memory: a role for dendritic
spines, brain insulin resistance impairs hippocampal synaptic
plasticity, estradiol induces synaptic rearrangements, stress and
remodeling of hippocampal spine synapses, neurotrophin-3 modulates
synaptic transmission, nongenomic neurosteroid modulation of
hippocampal dendritic spines, neural sex steroids and hippocampal
synaptic plasticity, origin of chemical synapses, neural sex
steroids and hippocampal synaptic plasticity, and much more.
The clinical laboratory plays a critical role in the diagnosis and
management of endocrine and related metabolic disorders, which are
leading causes of morbidity and mortality in children and adults.
The Handbook of Diagnostic Endocrinology, Third Edition, provides a
ready reference for the evaluation, diagnosis, and monitoring of
such disorders. This revision incorporates translational medicine,
connecting what clinicians need to know with those in research
providing a clinical context to which they can relate their
molecular findings. This book solves the needs of clinicians and
researchers by bringing together in one book endocrinology at the
molecular and clinical levels. As the intricacies of intracellular
signaling have become better understood, states of hormone
resistance are now increasingly recognized. The most common
endocrinopathy in westernized countries, the metabolic syndrome,
results, to a large extent, from insulin resistance. The complexity
of the circulating forms of various hormones are acknowledged in
this revision.
The Human Hypothalamus: Neuropsychiatric Disorders, Volume 181 in
the Handbook of Clinical Neurology series, provides comprehensive
summaries of recent research on the brain and nervous system as
they relate to clinical neurology. This volume identifies the
neurobiology and neurophysiology of disorders relating to the
hypothalamus and provides treatment information for these
disorders. Disorders covered include neuropsychiatric,
neurodegenerative, periodic, and autoimmune disorders. Coverage
includes Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, epilepsy, sleep, pain,
depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, schizophrenia, autism, aggressions,
addiction, and more.
Genetic Steroid Disorders, Second Edition targets adult and
pediatric endocrinologists, clinical geneticists, genetic
counselors, reproductive endocrinologists, neonatologists,
urologists, and psychoendocrinologists. It is designed to assist
these specialists in the diagnosis and treatment of steroid
disorders. This revision includes a new chapter on "Gonadotropins,
Obesity and Bone" and new research on non-invasive prenatal
diagnosis with cell-free DNA. Chapters are thoroughly updated
covering steroid disorders, the genetic bases for the disorder and
case presentations, This definitive reference belongs in every
medical library!
