The Third edition of this successful Atlas of Osteoporosis is
designed to provide a wide range of physicians with a pictorial
guide to this important disease. The illustrations are an excellent
teaching resource and the text provides a concise overview to
osteoporosis. For the first time, text and illustrations are fully
integrated. The book contains details of skeletal biology and the
pathophysiology of osteoporosis, with a series of diagrammatic and
SEM illustrations. There is greater emphasis on clinical factors in
this edition, particularly in areas such as nutrition, exercise,
and growth. There are also important sections on diagnosis using
bone densitometry and the laboratory evaluation of bone disorders.
This book analyzes the effects of estrogens and progesterone on
brain cells, the immune system, neuro inflammation, myelin
formation and steroid receptor distribution, as well as their
clinical impacts. It also explores the relationship between
sex-steroid withdrawal and the development of brain symptoms such
as hot flushes, sleep disorders, mood changes, depression and also
cognitive disorders and dementia, as well as the effects of hormone
menopause therapy on such symptoms and diseases. Starting with
obstetrical history and cardiovascular risk in later life, the
second part of the book examines the effects of estrogens and
progestogens on vascular tissues, atherosclerosis and coronary
heart diseases, as well as the impact of hormone replacement
therapies on cardiovascular risks and mortality. This volume is a
useful, clear and up-to-date tool for gynecologists,
endocrinologists, neurologists and cardiologists, and serves as a
valuable source of information for all physicians involved in
women's health.
