Vitamin D deficiency is a worldwide problem linked to numerous
diseases affecting men, women, and children of all ages. Enormous
progress in the study of vitamin D has been made since the first
edition of this highly-acclaimed book was published nearly 20 years
ago, and current research continues to draw headlines. Feldman and
Pike’s Vitamin D, Fifth Edition continues to build on the
successful formula from previous editions, taking the reader from
the basic elements of fundamental research to the most
sophisticated concepts in therapeutics. The two comprehensive
volumes provide investigators, clinicians, and students with a
comprehensive, definitive, and up-to-date compendium of the diverse
scientific and clinical aspects of vitamin D, where each area is
covered by both basic and clinical experts in the field. In Volume
I: Biochemistry, Physiology and Diagnostics, international experts
in endocrinology, bone biology, and human physiology take readers
through the basic research of vitamin D. This impressive reference
presents a comprehensive review of the multi-faceted actions of
vitamin D relating both to skeletal and extra-skeletal action.
Researchers from all areas of vitamin D will gain insight into how
clinical observations and practices can feed back into the research
cycle and will, therefore, be able to develop more targeted genomic
and proteomic insights into the mechanisms of disease. Volume II:
Health, Disease and Therapy authoritatively covers the evidence for
new roles of vitamin D, ranging from organ transplantation to
cancer, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis,
and renal disease. The coverage is appropriately broad, drawing on
aspects of internal medicine, pediatrics, nutrition, orthopedics,
oncology, neurology, obstetrics and gynecology, and immunology, as
well as, new areas for vitamin D including sports medicine,
opthalmology, veterinary medicine and ICU care – including
COVID-19. Clinical researchers will gain a strong understanding of
the molecular basis for a particular disease and better understand
future directions for research in this still-growing field.
