According to the United Nations, the number of people aged 60 years
or over in the world is projected to be 1.4 billion in 2030 and 2.1
billion in 2050. Endocrinologists and other clinicians face the
challenge of caring for the elderly. To do so, they need to
incorporate geriatric principles into their clinical practice.
Endocrinology of Aging: Clinical Aspects in Diagrams and Images
presents chapters in a way that allows the reader to incorporate
concepts and main facts of complex subjects in a visual way. As the
global population becomes older, the need for a deeper
understanding of geriatric pathology increases, and with it, the
access to educational resources for the endocrinology and
metabolism of aging.
Encyclopedia of Dietary Supplements presents peer-reviewed,
objective entries that rigorously examine the most significant
scientific research on basic chemical, preclinical, and clinical
data. Designed for healthcare professionals, researchers, and
health-conscious consumers, it presents evidence-based information
on the major vitamin and mineral micronutrients, herbs, botanicals,
phytochemicals, and other bioactive preparations. Supplements
covered include: Vitamins, beta-carotene, niacin, and folate
Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, isoflavones, and quercetin
Calcium, copper, iron, and phosphorus 5-hydroxytryptophan,
glutamine, and L-arginine St. John's Wort, ginkgo biloba, green
tea, kava, and noni Androstenedione, DHEA, and melatonin Coenzyme
Q10 and S-adenosylmethionine Shiitake, maitake, reishi, and
cordiceps With nearly 100 entries contributed by renowned
subject-specific experts, the book serves as a scientific
checkpoint for the many OTC supplements carried in today's
nutritional products marketplace. Also Available OnlineThis Taylor

Recent research suggests that adult growth hormone (GH) deficiency,
whether of pathological or physiological origin, is associated with
a dis tinct syndrome that includes alterations in body composition,
endocrine metabolic function, immune competence, and physical and
psychosocial well-being. Not surprisingly, substantial
investigative effort is currently focused on validating the above
hypothesis and on determining whether restoration of a normal
GH-IGF-I axis in various states of adult GH deficiency is
clinically useful, safe, and cost-beneficial. This book contains
the proceedings from the Symposium on GHRH, GH, and IGF-I: Basic
and Clinical Advances, held December 9 to 12, 1993, in San Diego,
California, and sponsored by Serono Symposia USA, Inc. The
conference was meant to highlight selected novel and exciting
clinical research developments related to possible therapeutic uses
of recombinant human GH and IGF-I, GHRH, GH releasing peptides, and
related GH secretagogues. This meeting occurred only one year after
a similar Serono symposium that was somewhat more oriented to novel
basic science discoveries, thus attesting to the current scientific
and clinical interest in this area.
