This practical resource provides the latest evidence, management strategies and recommendations for the treatment of disorders of the adrenal glands, including related physiology, genetics and pharmacology. This book is divided into three thematic sections. The first covers adrenal physiology, presenting adrenal zonation and development, the regulation of steroidogenesis, and the pharmacology of glucocortisoids. Part two discusses the genetics and pathophysiology of a number of adrenal disorders, including autoimmune Addison’s disease, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, primary aldosteronism, adrenocortical tumors and hyperplasias, and pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas. The final section presents the latest diagnostic and management strategies for these disorders, addressing adrenal insufficiency, adrenal Cushing’s Syndrome and aldosteronism, among others. Over the past twenty years, our understanding of disorders of the adrenal glands has been altered and deepened. Providing a much-needed update to the literature, Adrenal Disorders: Physiology, Pathophysiology and Treatment will be an important resource for both academic and clinical endocrinologists working with the adrenal glands and managing patients with adrenal disorders.

Atlas of Endocrine Pathology provides a comprehensive compendium of photomicrographs of common and uncommon entities in endocrine pathology. The volume includes histologic features of normal features, reactive conditions, hyperplasia and tumors. The most helpful diagnostic features are illustrated to provide direction and clues to the diagnosis of endocrine tumors. Furthermore, photomicrographs highlight the most pertinent diagnostic features in problematic diagnoses in endocrine pathology. Authored by a nationally and internationally recognized pathologist, Atlas of Endocrine Pathology is an important learning tool for those becoming familiar with the diverse entities encountered in endocrine pathology and a valuable reference for practicing pathologists faced with challenging diagnoses in endocrine pathology.

​This book serves as a practical guide and provides updates in Genitourinary (GU) Pathology. By using a “Questions and Answers” format, it addresses frequently encountered diagnostic challenges in daily practice for pathologists. Emphasis is placed on diagnosis and differential diagnosis based on morphological characteristics, clinicopathologic correlation, and interpretation of immunohistochemical and other ancillary tests. Concise answers to each question are provided by experts in the field accompanied by ample high quality illustrations and updated references. This book includes common and rare benign and malignant conditions in the GU system, covering the entire genitourinary system including the prostate, kidney, bladder, testis, urethra, ureter, penis and adrenal. It also reviews current topics, controversies and diagnostic dilemmas in diagnostic GU pathology. Practical Genitourinary Pathology serves as a quick reference for busy practicing pathologists, pathologists in training, urologists, medical students, and other physicians with questions of genitourinary conditions.

Endocrine Pathology: Differential Diagnosis and Molecular Advances, Second Edition provides detailed coverage of endocrine pathology with extensive discussion of the differential diagnosis as well as presentation of molecular pathobiology of the major endocrine organs. Revised and expanded from the first edition, each chapter, written by leaders in their respective field, has been updated with the latest advances that are transforming the field of endocrine pathology. Richly illustrated with color photomicrographs, useful diagrams and line drawings, each chapter includes differential diagnosis of common and uncommon lesions as well as material on molecular developments, with emphasis on the molecular findings that are most helpful in the diagnosis of specific disorders. Endocrine Pathology: Differential Diagnosis and Molecular Advances, Second Edition, provides a useful and well-organized resource designed not only for the endocrine pathologist and the general surgical pathologist, but also for the clinical endocrinologist and the endocrine surgeon.

Part of the highly regarded Diagnostic Pathology series, this updated volume by Dr. Vania Nosé is a visually stunning, easy-to-use reference covering 125 of the most common endocrine pathology diagnoses. Outstanding images—more than 2,400 in all—make this an invaluable diagnostic aid for every practicing pathologist, resident, or fellow. This second edition incorporates the most recent clinical, pathological, histological, and molecular knowledge in the field to provide a comprehensive overview of all key issues relevant to today’s practice. Essential knowledge in all areas of endocrine pathology, including thyroid, parathyroid, pituitary, adrenal, pancreas, skin, and inherited tumor syndromes Unsurpassed visual coverage with more than 2,400 carefully annotated clinical images, gross pathology, histology, and special and immunohistochemical stains that provide clinically and diagnostically important information on typical and variant disease features Designed to help you identify crucial elements of each diagnosis along with associated differential diagnoses and pitfalls to more quickly resolve problems during routine sign out of cases Time-saving reference features include bulleted text, a variety of test data tables, key facts in each chapter, annotated images, and an extensive index Thoroughly updated content throughout, reflecting new WHO classifications for endocrine diseases, recently discovered and newly described endocrine disease entities and genetic causes, and treatment changes of endocrine diseases New coverage of encapsulated follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (EFVPTC), with a new chapter on the new entity NIFTP, new genetic discoveries in the development of pheochromocytoma and paragangliomas, new names that demonstrate the differentiation of certain tumors, and new information on immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) involving thyroid

Written with the busy practice in mind, this book delivers clinically focused, evidence-based gynecology guidance in a quick-reference format. It explores etiology, screening, tests, diagnosis, and treatment for a full range of gynecologic health issues. The coverage includes the full range of gynecologic malignancies, reproductive endocrinology and infertility, infectious diseases, urogynecologic problems, gynecologic concerns in children and adolescents, and surgical interventions including minimally invasive surgical procedures. Information is easy to find and absorb owing to the extensive use of full-color diagrams, algorithms, and illustrations. The new edition has been expanded to include aspects of gynecology important in international and resource-poor settings.
