Product Description
This outstanding issue of the Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America explodes the myth that pituitary diseases are rare.New studies have found a significantly increased incidence of pituitary tumors.Similarly, the incidence of hypopituitarism goes up steadily with the rising numbers of long-term survivors of cancer, massive head trauma or subarachnoid hemorrhage.Recent years have witnessed major refinements in our ability to visualize pituitary lesions using MRI studies.Similarly, there have been major therapeutic advances: minimally-invasive transnasal surgery, computer-driven radiation techniques andseveralnew medications.The changed landscape of pituitary endocrinology was the impetus behind assembling the leading experts in the field to summarize the contemporary state-of-the-art knowledge in this fascinating area.This monograph was designed not so much for the narrowly-defined "pituitary specialists," but mainly for general clinical endocrinologists, endocrine fellows and medical students and residents. ...

Product Description
This up-to-date and comprehensive set of two CD-ROM discs provides a superb collection of authoritative documents on the subject of pituitary disorders. Your pituitary gland is a pea-sized gland at the base of your brain. The pituitary is the "master control gland" - it makes hormones that affect growth and the functions of other glands in the body. Injuries can cause pituitary disorders, but the most common cause is a pituitary tumor. About 1 in 10,000 people get them. They grow slowly, do not spread and are usually not cancerous. The most common type of pituitary tumor produces hormones and disrupts the balance of hormones in your body. This can cause endocrine disorders such as Cushing's syndrome and hyperthyroidism.For patients, practical information is provided in clearly written patient education documents. For medical professionals, doctor reference tools and texts have detailed technical information and clinical background material. There is no other reference that is as fast, convenient, and portable - everything you need to know, from the federal sources you trust. This thoroughly researched collection presents vital information from many authoritative sources: Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Centers for Disease Control (CDC), National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the relevant institute for this disease, and others.In addition to the comprehensive disease-specific coverage, this disc set also includes our Medical Encyclopedia, a $19.95 value!
