Endocrine Disorders Books

I hope you show the contest online.

Most endocrinologist are young, because endocrinology is modern aspect of medicine. We need best textbooks. We love to read. We are growing, we need the water as a Clinical Endocrinology. Thank you.

I have read Dr. Robin's latest book twice now and I have recommended it to my colleagues. It is also a must-read for conscientious medical students and residents. Bravo, Dr. Robin!

This book covers modern clinical practices broadly and fully, while presenting information in a concise, easy-to-read way. A handy resource for the practicing internist

The MANUAL OF ENDOCRINOLOGY AND METABOLISM never will replace a good mystery as bedtime reading, but for anyone with an endocrine disorder--or anyone related to a patient with an endocrine disorder--this book is an excellent resource.

The MANUAL is fairly vast in its scope, at least by the standards of non-scientific laymen. It covers certain childhood cancers, examines the hormonal causes of hypertension, intersects with all insulin related illnesses, including but not limited to diabetes and "Syndrome X." With all issues, pediatric implications are examined as well as adult.

Editor Norman Lavin, M.D. has organized the format of this book intelligently, bunching together groups of abstracts in broad ranges of topics such as thyroid disorders or adrenal disorders.

Quick examination of the credits of contributing authors shows that more than 50 clinicians and researchers participated, most of them practicing physicians, and virtually all of them professors at major American medical schools as well.

While it is unlikely that any layman will find the need to read each included report, the MANUAL is easy to use. Certainly, anyone reading about a medical problem of specific interest will find the information here clear to understand, and the individual reports are fairly short. This book will be a resource in assisting affected patients in discussing their conditions more knowledgably with their own physicians.

The beauty of this reference book is that it offers pithy reviews of common endocrine disorders with a streamlined focus on diagnosis and treatment. It tells you what to know in 10-20 page chapters with excellent use of diagrams and tables. What is especially nice is that areas of controversy are addressed by the authors who then interject their own treatment strategies based on years of experience and background information. I can't wait for the next addition.

Quite good in reviewing the basic pathophysiology of endocrine disorders.
This book is becoming the standard for fellows in endocrinology.

This textbook is very user friendly. I prefer this text over the William's textbook of Endocrinology. Very well organized with many good illustrations and tables. Has appendix of endocrine testing as well as common drugs used in endocrinology. Highly reccomended.

I need informations about Hypophise tumour, can you help me

This book was required for my class but I think it's something I'll keep referring to throughout my career. Designed for review for boards, it is short, sweet, and to the point. It gives clinical relevance as well as background info without going into excessive detail. The book is easy to follow and the figures and tables are very helpful. There are even board-style questions in the back of the book. I highly recommend this book.

I have been using this book for several years, and update my book each time a new edition is released. It is a must-have for Medical Transcriptionists, especially those working in specialty medicine. It saves me time and doesn't give me more information than I really need. All of our front-office staff use this version as well to verify medication questions. It is easy to use and has turned out to be a real time saver.

I commend practitioners whom encourage self-education and teamwork as they have been of great value in my road to recovering optimal health. Dr. Shames has been around a long time and has been committed to treating thyroid issues continually through the years. You can buy your supplements and get your testing anywhere you want. The point is, take action and empower yourself in every way possible until you find what works. It is a good addition to the thyroid books that are out there and it has helped me refine my knowledge in ways that has brought progress to my search for control over Hashimoto's.

I have not had the chance to read the book yet, but am looking forward to reading it when the kids go back to school in a few weeks.

I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and other metabolic problems years ago and have read a lot of books on the subject. This was the first one to really explain the relationships between the hormones in a way I could understand. So many people don't realize if you have one hormonal problem, there are probably others that may not be showing obvious symptoms. This book helps the average person make the connections.

Before, the doctors were treating the different problems separately. This book put me on the right track. It enabled me to ask better questions and to be a more informed patient. At my last appointment, my doctor told me I had really done my homework and that would make working together easier. The credit goes to this book more than any other.

It's not perfect, and there are a few over generalizations, but those small annoyances are worth it for the wealth of information in this book.

It has a permanent place on my keeper shelf

This book is a joke, it simplifies the complexities of endocrine problems. You're better off going to a "real doctor" than waste your time and money reading this book! Its recommendations are dangerous, encouraging self medication with alternative supplements; and silly, "Don't watch stressful movies if you have adrenal problems". Do yourself a favor and pass on this book.

I was happy with this book up till about page 60 or so until I got to the point of the "at home tests". Here I was thinking that there was some way to easily test yourself, but when I finally went to the websites to take a look at the tests I found out they range from $200 to over $400!! And then to find out that there are a gazillion different vitamins/supplements to take!! Well, I guess I can give it 5 stars for helping me realize that I sure do have a thyroid problem and can talk to my doctor about it in more detail rather than him just saying "your test came back normal". I suggest getting it from your local library first and then buying it if you feel as though the info would eventually be helpful to you.

I have used this text as a reference in a number of writing projects in women's health.

The book is good, I just thought that it would contain something in addition to the corresponding Harrison's IM section.

I WAS BECOMING VERY CONCERNED WATCHING MY WIFE DESCRIBE ALL THIS WEIRD STUFF AND FINDING NO EXPLANATION FOR IT.SUDDENLY I DISCOVERED THIS BOOK AND THE GATES OF HEAVEN OPENED,AT LAST A DOCTOR SAID IN PROFESSIONAL TERMINOLOGY WHAT MY POOR WIFE WAS SUFFERING,KMOWLEDGE IS A VERY HELPFUL TOOL BECAUSE IT GIVES YOU A SENSE OF WHAT TO DO!!

I am 50 yrs. old, and am a 5 yr Breast Cancer survivor. I had a mastectomy and 6 mos.of chemotherapy.My breast cancer was "estrogen"related, but it was also non-invasive, caught very early.With the help of God, I have overcome all obstacles.I also chose reconstructive surgery.Having had chemotherapy,I became menopausal. My quality of life changed drastically,I felt like I was just existing. I enjoyed nothing, nor wanted to be sociable anymore. I felt like I had no emotions.I became very insecure,irritable and negative. I KNEW something was wrong, but I was determined not to accept it as"just getting old".After all my LIFE was just beginning again. I started seeing a Psychiatrist, and went to the library and read Dr.Claire Wargasbook, Menopause and the Mind. All the emotions I had been feeling were in her book! I RAN to my oncologist & gynocoligist.Aftersome blood work, I was recommended by BOTH to get on the estrogen.My whole life has changed in a matter of days,I elected the Estradial patch with progesterone.Within days (2) I felt alert,active and Alive again. I am starting to feel feminine, and wanting to be around people. Suffice to say, at the second session with the Psychiatrist,she told me I did not need to return, my whole outlook had changed! I cannot express the change of positive emotions I have experienced. Instead of existing I am living. Because I am "high risk"so they say, I will continue to be monitered carefully, This has been my decision after researching data on estrogen and the mind, as opposed to estrogen and breastcancer. PLEASE READ DR. CLAIRE WARGA'S BOOK about Menopause and the Mind, IT CHANGED MY LIFE!!!

This book was excellent in helping me understand what was happening to me. It did not do a very good job of covering treatment options. I read Menopause for Dummies which didn't cover my symptoms as well as this book did, but did an excellent job of covering the treatment options.

Dr. Warga may or may not have something to say about menopause and the mind, but for the life of me, I can't decipher her writing. I am amazed that Simon and Schuster let this book see the light of day without more editing. I've never read so many long, tortured, and confusing sentences. Good writing does matter.

to "Estrogen and the Mind". Claire Warga does an excellent job of compiling the data and cases describing the very real symptoms experienced at this time of life for many women (not all women). Unfortunately, she immediately defaulted to estrogen as the SOLE cure - natural or synthetic. What about the other hormones that decline at this time of life? Why has there not been research on the effects of progesterone and the mind? Research is primarily funded by pharmecutical companies and they hold no patents on progesterone - surprise. We get only half the story with this book. Now most current research has debunked that estrogen is the cure for Alzheimers.
