The incidence of diabetes is increasing at epidemic proportions worldwide, presenting a huge challenge to modern medicine. In response, scientific advances in the understanding of diabetes and its complications are being translated into improved clinical practice at ever faster rates. Greater understanding of aetiopathogenesis of the different types of diabetes, the emerging roles of novel pharmacological agents and the importance placed on multidisciplinary team working and multi-risk - factor treatment all contribute to this. Now in a fully revised second edition, this clear, concise guide to modern diabetes and its management will prove invaluable to all health professionals in this field.

This pocket-sized quick-reference handbook presents evidence-based recommendations for diagnosis and treatment of endocrine disorders. The authors summarize the latest and best clinical studies supporting the practice recommendations and grade each study to indicate the benefits and risks of the therapy and the reliability of the study results. Chapters cover disorders in the major areas of endocrinology - hypothalamic-pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, metabolic bone, reproductive, diabetes, lipid disorders, obesity and nutrition, endocrine malignancies, and genetics.

This edition of Diabetes: Chronic Complications provides both the experienced and trainee endocrinologist with easy-to-read, up-to-date practical guidance on the management of the many complications that can result from the onset of diabetes, such as kidney failure, cardiovascular disease, retinal failure, and cerebrovascular disease. Reflecting the rapid developments currently taking place in the field, the second edition introduces a brand-new section on liver complications in diabetes, additional material on mental health complications in the section on diabetes and the brain, coverage of dyslipidaemia and hypertension in the section on diabetes and the heart, five MCQ's in each section to help improve clinical skills, and a case study and key points summary box in every chapter.

This book provides health professionals with sound clinical advice on management of the obese patient admitted into hospital. It addresses all aspects of the patient's care, as well as serving as a resource to facilitate the management of services, use of clinical information, and negotiation of ethical issues that occur in intensive care. As the number of obese patients in intensive care continues to grow, this book will serve as a comprehensive clinical resource for everyday use by both obesity specialists and emergency medicine physicians.

The American Cancer Society recently estimated that about 45,000 new cases of thyroid cancer will be diagnosed in the United States, with three-quarters occurring in women. The overall 5-year survival rate is about 97 per cent, making it one of the least lethal cancers. We are experiencing an epidemic of well-differentiated thyroid cancer, in part due to the widespread use of imaging modalities that detect thyroid nodules and microcarcinomas. Concurrently, there have been a number of recent advances in surgical treatment, as well as diagnostic modalities that allow us to detect small amounts of residual local and metastatic disease. Additionally, a reexamination of past treatment regimens has led to new recommendations regarding the use of radioactive iodine, and to new therapeutic options, such as targeted therapy which have supplanted the use of more toxic chemotherapy for metastatic cancer. Multiple academic organizations have developed consensus guidelines for the management of thyroid cancer, occasionally with conflicting recommendations. In "Thyroid Cancer", a renowned group of authors presents a broad overview of the pathology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of thyroid cancer, with an emphasis on recent evidence-based information. State-of-the-art and a significant contribution to the literature, "Thyroid Cancer" is an invaluable reference for endocrinologists, oncologists, nuclear medicine physicians, radiation oncologists, primary care physicians, and surgeons who deal with head and neck cancer.

"Il diabete mellito" del professor Riccardo Giorgino si presenta come un'opera articolata e approfondita sul tema del diabete mellito di tipo 1 e 2. Come evidenzia l'autore nella prefazione al libro: "La diffusione del diabete mellito nel mondo assume ormai un carattere epidemico. Secondo le proiezioni dellOrganizzazione Mondiale della Sanità, è previsto un raddoppio della popolazione diabetica entro il 2025: si passerà, infatti, dagli attuali 150 milioni ai 300 milioni di soggetti. Il diabete mellito è considerato una malattia sociale, sia per lalta prevalenza, sia per le complicanze croniche cui dà origine e che riducono la qualità di vita e laspettativa di vita dei pazienti che ne sono affetti, sia per i costi diretti e indiretti." Obiettivo del libro è definire la malattia diabetica così come si sta sviluppando prendendo in considerazione gli aspetti fisiopatologici, clinici, terapeutici e pratici. "Il diabete mellito" è suddiviso in sette sezioni ognuna dedicata ad un specifico aspetto del diabete mellito partendo dalla fisiologia della funzione pancreatica endocrina per giungere al trattamento di particolari componenti del diabete mellito. Ogni capitolo è inoltre corredato da riferimenti bibliografici essenziali e recenti. Questo libro è cercato anche come: Il diabete mellito Giorgini, Il diabete mellito SEU
