In 2001 we wrote the book Graves' Disease: A Practical Guide
(McFarland), which described the causes, diagnosis, treatment and
disease course of Graves' disease and other hyperthyroid disorders,
such as toxic multinodular goiter, thyroiditis, resistance to
thyroid hormone, and hyperthyroidism caused by medications and
genetic mutations. The present work continues the above but focuses
on subsequent advances in disease pathology, including discoveries
regarding the genetic, immune system, and environmental factors
that lead to hyperthyroid disorders; new guidelines for
conventional treatment; and alternative and complementary medical
therapies are included. Additional sections describe special
circumstances such as hyperthyroidism in pregnancy and in children,
and transient hyperthyroidism in the newborn.
There are more than 30 different organisms that cause infection and
disease when transmitted by venereal contact. Sexually Transmitted
Diseases (STDs) represent 87 percent of all reported
infections.This encyclopedia offers entries on such topics as
diseases, treatments, statistics, care centers and departments,
risk factors, prevention issues, legal issues, associations and
organizations, procedures, and relevant historical and political
information. Entries on sexually transmitted diseases include
history, causes and origins, risk factors, precautions, incidence,
symptoms, special problems relating to gender, race, or poverty
level, diagnosis, descriptions of diagnostic tests, defining
illnesses and related disorders, treatment (drug regimens,
therapies, side effects, and alternative medicine), and
considerations in pregnancy.The work concludes with a wide
selection of resources including books, journals, support groups,
Hotlines, organizations, and Internet sites, as well as resources
for low cost prescription drug programs, social security
disability, and health insurance. Clinical trials, laboratory
tests, and HIV/AIDS resources are also listed.
