Providing a comprehensive review of the most up-to-date evidence,
this book presents the latest biology, diagnosis and management for
pheochromocytomas, paragangliomas and related disorders of the
sympathoadrenal system. Many new areas, including genetic
syndromes, have evolved, and these are insufficiently appreciated
among practitioners. A discussion of the basics of catecholamine
biology sets the stage for presentations of the pathology, clinical
features, and diagnosis of these tumors, including localization and
imaging. Medical, anesthetic and surgical management of
pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas follow, including case
material. Additional chapters discuss pheochromocytoma in
pediatrics and in pregnancy, both pure and hypoglycemia-associated
autonomic failure, and the role of the sympathetic nervous system
in hypertension. These diseases are relatively rare, but many, if
not most, go undiagnosed during life: If promptly diagnosed and
appropriately treated, they are usually completely curable; if
undiagnosed or mistreated, they are typically terminal. Bringing
the most current knowledge to bear, Pheochromocytomas,
Paragangliomas and Disorders of the Sympathoadrenal System will be
a valuable resource for practicing endocrinologists, endocrine
surgeons, internists and endocrine fellows faced with diagnosing
and managing these conditions.

Clinical judgment is a critical aspect - perhaps the most critical
aspect - of efficient, accurate, and cost-effective patient care.
Focusing on essential clinical skills, On Rounds: 1000 Internal
Medicine Pearls helps clinicians in training and in practice to
identify the critical findings that will simplify complex clinical
problems and lead to an accurate diagnosis. One thousand
easy-to-remember clinical aphorisms, or "pearls," help you
distinguish the important findings from the incidental, pointing
out the distinctive features amidst the mass of data that is
accumulated in the evaluation of a sick patient, and leading to the
development of mature clinical judgment. Go "on rounds" with one of
the most respected educators in internal medicine and learn from
his nearly 50 years of clinical experience. Focus on the areas that
are often a source of confusion for students, trainees, and even
seasoned practitioners. Learn each pearl in a relevant clinical
context, with tables, clinical images, and physiology information,
where appropriate. Recognize "black pearls:" statements that,
although widely believed, are demonstrably false. Improve your
clinical judgment skills whether you're a resident or an
experienced clinician. Carry these pocket-sized pearls with you for
quick reference. Now with the print edition, enjoy the bundled
interactive eBook edition, which can be downloaded to your tablet
and smartphone or accessed online and includes features like:

smart navigation cross-links that pull results from content in the
