The Pituitary, Fourth Edition, continues the tradition of a cogent
blend of basic science and clinical medicine which has been the
successful hallmark of prior editions. This comprehensive text is
devoted to the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of pituitary
disorders. The new edition has been extensively revised to reflect
new knowledge derived from advances in molecular and cell biology,
biochemistry, diagnostics, and therapeutics as they apply to the
pituitary gland. The wide spectrum of clinical disorders emanating
from dysfunction of the master gland is described in detail by
experts in the field. Fundamental mechanisms underlying disease
pathogenesis are presented to provide the reader with an in-depth
understanding of mechanisms subserving both normal and disordered
pituitary hormone secretion and action. This extensive body of
knowledge is useful for students, trainees, physicians, and
scientists who need to understand critical pituitary functions and
how to care for patients with pituitary disorders. Chapters provide
medical students, clinical and basic endocrinology trainees,
endocrinologists, internists, pediatricians, gynecologists, and
neurosurgeons with a comprehensive, yet integrated, text devoted to
the science and art of pituitary medicine.
Stress: Neuroendocrinology and Neurobiology: Handbook of Stress
Series, Volume 2, focuses on neuroendocrinology, the discipline
that deals with the way that the brain controls hormonal secretion,
and in turn, the way that hormones control the brain. There have
been significant advances in our understanding of neuroendocrine
molecular and epigenetic mechanisms, especially in the way in which
stress-induced hormonal and neurochemical changes affect brain
plasticity, neuronal connectivity, and synaptic function. The book
features the topic of epigenetics, and how it enables stress and
other external factors to affect genetic transmission and
expression without changes in DNA sequence. Integrated closely with
new behavioral findings and relevance to human disorders, the
concepts and data in this volume offer the reader cutting-edge
information on the neuroendocrinology of stress. Volume 2 is of
prime interest to neuroscientists, clinicians, researchers,
academics, and graduate students in neuroendocrinology,
neuroscience, biomedicine, endocrinology, psychology, psychiatry,
and in some areas of the social sciences, including stress and its
management in the workplace.
Endocrinology of the Heart in Health and Disease: Integrated,
Cellular, and Molecular Endocrinology of the Heart covers the
traditional concepts of cardio-endocrinology, the role of the
various hormone systems, both in health and disease, therapeutic
implications, and other recent advances in the various fields
represented. The book explores how cardiac hormones are changed in
various cardiac pathologies and the recent success that has been
uncovered in their therapeutic use. Additional focus is placed on
how the heart responds both physiologically and
pathophysiologically to a plethora of circulating hormones,
reinforcing the importance of the heart as a target of numerous
endocrine systems, such as the brain, renal, and adipose.
Significant advances have come from basic, clinical, and
translational research from a multiplicity of investigators with
diverse backgrounds. The book features over 200 photomicrographs,
diagrams of molecular relationships, and tables that complement and
support the text. It is aimed at a wide audience, including
graduate students and post-doctoral fellows in a wide array of
biomedical departments and PhD programs (e.g. Pathology,
Physiology, Genetics, Pharmacology, Molecular Biology, and Cell
Biology) related to the endocrine and cardiovascular sciences
curricula, as well as medical residents in pathology, laboratory
medicine, internal medicine, and cardiology.
Gonadotropins: From Bench Side to Bedside, the latest volume in the

Managing Treatment-Resistant Depression: Road to Novel Therapeutics
defines TRD for readers, discussing the clinical and
epidemiological predictors, economic burden and neurobiological
factors. In addition, staging methods for treatment resistance are
fully covered in this book, including serotonin specific reuptake
inhibitors, serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, other
classes of antidepressants, including tricyclic antidepressants and
monoamine oxidase inhibitors, augmentation strategies, and newer
antidepressant treatments like ketamine and esketamine. In
addition, evidence supporting the use of psychotherapies and
neuromodulation strategies are also reviewed. Written by top
experts in the field, this book is the first of its kind to review
all methods of treatment for TRD.
Sjogren's Syndrome: Novel Insights in Pathogenic, Clinical and
Therapeutic Aspects provides the reader with an overview of current
knowledge about Sjogren's Syndrome. The book summarizes the huge
amount of literature concerning related advances in genetic
background, pathogenesis, clinical picture, and therapeutic
approaches. It integrates basic immunology concepts, clinical
aspects, and pharmacological issues. Scientific progress has
allowed us to unmask novel pathogenic mechanisms, to perform genome
wide studies, and to identify clinical and serological features
associated with different disease subsets and, eventually,
different disease prognoses. In addition, the increasing knowledge
about SS pathogenesis provides the rationale to employ targeted
therapies in SS as has already occurred in rheumatoid arthritis and
systemic lupus erythematosus.
