The last fifteen years have witnessed the extraordinary evolution of basic and clinical research in the field of lysoso-mal storage diseases (LSDs), transforming many of them from dire, untreatable progressive diseases to conditions that allow for possible cure or mitigation. In addition to the presently employed techniques of haematopoietic stem cell transplantation and enzyme replacement for a number of lysoso-mal storage diseases, other therapeutic approaches are being developed that are based on different principles. The awareness that the efficacy of treatment is greater if adminis-tered at the first signs of disease or, even better, during the pre-symptomatic phase underscores the urgency of early clinical diagnosis. Efforts are being made to improve the clinical acumen of paediatricians, paediatric surgeons and neurologists, rheumatologists, orthopaedists, and other professionals who come into early contact with children with LSDs. The possibility of including some of these disorders in routine neonatal screening is also a matter of discussion. This volume provides an updated overview of epidemiologic, biochemical, genetic, pathogenetic, and clinical aspects of these disorders and outlines the various treatment options currently available for the LSDs. The need for patients with rare diseases like LSDs to be followed-up in a specialised centre is emphasised in view of the many kinds of multidisciplinary treatment that are needed to improve the quality of life and survival of these children.
Why Do I Still Have Thyroid Symptoms? was written to address the true causes of hypothyroidism in this country and how to manage them. The vast majority of hypothyroid cases are caused by Hashimoto's disease, an autoimmune reaction, and are being treated inappropriately or misdiagnosed by the standard health care model. Through exhaustive research and clinical experience, Dr. Kharrazian has discovered the many causes of hypothyroidism, including autoimmunity, and how to manage it. NOTE: This is the same thyroid book but under a new publisher.

Functional Biochemistry in Health and Disease provides a clear and straightforward account of the biochemistry that is necessary to understand the physiological functions of tissues or organs essential to the life of human beings. Focusing on the dynamic aspects of biochemistry and its application to the basic functions of the body, the book bridges the gap between biochemistry and medical practice. Carefully structured within five sections, each biochemical, physiological or medical subject that is covered in the book is presented in one complete chapter. Consequently, each subject can be read and studied in isolation although cross-sectional links between the subjects are included where necessary. Background material, both biochemical and medical, that is necessary for an understanding of the subject, is included at the start of each chapter and clear, relevant diagrams enhance students' understanding.Focuses on medically relevant aspects of biochemistry written from a physiological rather than a chemical perspective.Clear presentation that minimises the use of jargon.Each chapter contains boxes on related topics, relevant diagrams and a brief glossary.Coverage includes athletic performance, apoptosis and the immune system.Key historical developments are included to show how modern biochemistry has evolved. By linking biochemistry, medical education and clinical practice this book will prove invaluable to students in medical and health sciences, biomedical science and human biology taking an introductory biochemistry course. In addition it will appeal to biochemistry and biology students interested in clinical applications of biochemistry.

Nutritional Biochemistry takes a scientific approach to nutrition.
It covers not just "whats"--nutritional requirements--but why they
are required for human health, by describing their function at the
cellular and molecular level. Each case study either leads to a
subsequent discovery or enables an understanding of the
physiological mechanisms of action of various nutrition-related
processes. The text is "picture-oriented" and the commentary is
directed towards explaining graphs, figures, and tables.

From the Preface
Metabolism includes various pathways of chemical reactions; understanding these pathways leads to an improved knowledge of the causes, preventions, and cures for human diseases. "Medical Biochemistry: Human Metabolism in Health and Disease" provides a concise yet thorough explanation of human metabolism and its role in health and diseases. Focusing on the physiological context of human metabolism without extensive consideration of the mechanistic principles of underlying enzymology, the books serves as both a primary text and resource for students and professional in medical, dental, and allied health programs.
This practical book describes only neurometabolic hereditary diseases which have a specific treatment and encourages the general neurologist to think of the most common neurometabolic hereditary diseases, which he might have seen and never considered in the differential diagnosis. Information regarding how to deal with diseases with special therapy is provided (i.e. enzymatic replacement therapy in Fabry disease and Pompe disease), as is information on diseases which are not easily recognized (i.e. Niemann-Pick disease type C), and diseases with clinical features mimicking other common neurodegenrative diseases (i.e. Wilson's disease). Neurometabolic Hereditary Diseases is written with a clinical focus for adult neurologists working in general hospitals.
Cellular Endocrinology in Health and Disease, Second Edition, describes the underlying basis of endocrine function, providing an important tool to understand the fundamentals of endocrine diseases. Delivering a comprehensive review of the basic science of endocrinology, from cell biology to human disease, this work explores and dissects the function of a number of cellular systems. The new edition provides an understanding of how endocrine glands function by integrating information resulting in biological effects on both local and systemic levels, also providing new information on the molecular physiopathogenesis of endocrine neoplasic cells. The new edition expands the most used chapters from the first edition and proposes a series of substitutions and additions to the table of contents. New chapters cover signaling, brown adipose tissue, hypothalamic cell models, cellular basis of insulin resistance, genetics and epigenetics of neuroendocrine tumors, and a series of chapters on endocrine-related cancer. Providing content that crosses disciplines, Cellular Endocrinology in Health and Disease, Second Edition, details how cellular endocrine function contributes to system physiology and mediates endocrine disorders. A methods section proves novel and useful approaches across research focus that will be attractive to medical students, residents, and specialists in the field of endocrinology, as well as to those interested in cellular regulation. Editors Alfredo Ulloa-Aguirre and Ya-Xiong Tao, experts in molecular and cellular aspects of endocrinology, deliver contributions carefully selected for relevance, impact, and clarity of expression from leading field experts
Insulin resistance (IR) and elevated blood pressure are two key features of the metabolic syndrome, which play an important role in the development of secondary cardiovascular complications. In this book, the effects of insulin resistance on the various vasoactive pathways are explored, which affect the equilibrium between vascular relaxation and constriction. Furthermore, the interaction between oestrogen, testosterone and insulin signalling-dependent changes in vascular reactivity and blood pressure are discussed. Also addressed in this book are the mechanisms underlying reciprocal relationships between insulin secretion, insulin resistance and inflammation in the pathological state and in its subsequent improvement. Moreover, the current concepts in understanding the underlying risk factors contributing to insulin resistance are examined, focusing on the role of magnesium deficiency that emerges as potential pathogenic key related with decreasing insulin sensitivity. In addition, it is widely accepted that metabolic syndrome is related to cardiovascular disease and that insulin resistance is one of the causes of metabolic syndrome. The authors discuss thiazolidinediones (TZDs), a class of antidiabetes agents, as a means to improve endothelial dysfunction, prevent atherosclerosis, and significantly reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

This book is dedicated to an update on metabolic disorders and their consequences on the developing nervous system. In the last ten years, major scientific advances in biochemical diagnosis have enabled the identification of many new disease entities, as well as a better classification of clinical symptoms and their correlation to biochemical defects. This volume provides an introduction to basic sciences specifically relevant to this disease group, then focuses on each subgroup in turn: hyperphenylalaninaemias, mitochondrial encephalomyopathies, organic acidoses, urea cycle defects, lysosomal storage and peroxylsomal disorders. Finally, a discussion of long term follow-up and family related issues also reports the results of a four-year research project led by the Mariani Foundation.
Wenn bei einem Kind Diabetes diagnostiziert wird, fragen sich Eltern, wie sie sich der Verantwortung stellen koennen und wie sich der Familienalltag verandern wird. Die Autoren, zwei Kinder- und Jugendarzte und eine Psychologin, geben luckenlos Antwort und helfen Eltern, ihre AEngste abzubauen. Sie begleiten sechs Kinder und Jugendliche mit Diabetes und zeigen, wie das Familienleben mit der Krankheit organisiert werden kann. Mit vielen Tipps und Hinweisen zu allen Fragen, die die Lebensgestaltung und die Zukunft eines Kindes mit Diabetes betreffen.
Wer kennt es nicht - man ist mitten im Medizinstudium, hat zwar schon einiges, aber langst noch nicht alles gelernt und fuhlt sich in Sachen Diagnosestellung alles andere als sattelfest. Und dann kommt sie, die unvermeidliche Frage auf der nachsten Familienfeier: "Du, sag mal, Du studierst doch Medizin, kannst Du mir sagen, was das hier ist?" - und ehe man sich versieht, wird man mit veranderten Hautstellen, geschwollenen Mandeln und weiteren Symptomen konfrontiert, die man gar nicht unbedingt von seiner naheren Bekannt- und Verwandtschaft sehen und wissen wollte. Einerseits schlagt da stolz das Herz in der Brust, andererseits aber nur so lange, wie man mit den Symptomen auch etwas anfangen kann. Was, wenn die Frage zur schuppenden Hautstelle vor dem Semester kommt, in dem die Dermatologie dran ist? Und wenn man auch nicht aus dem eigenen Erfahrungsfundus schoepfen kann? Was, wenn man zwar dunkel ahnt, was Besenreiser sind, aber keine Antwort auf die Frage parat hat, ob man etwas dagegen machen muss? Diese Buchreihe soll auf eine leicht verstandliche Art helfen, die meisten und gangigsten Alltagszipperlein zu erklaren und zu erkennen. Welche Fragen sollten Sie anderen oder sich stellen, um auf die richtige Fahrte zu kommen und Moegliches von Unwahrscheinlichem abzugrenzen? |
