Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Hypopituitarism," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Hypopituitarism in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Hypopituitarism when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Hypopituitarism, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more

Product Description
Various abnormalities of or trauma to the pituitary gland or hypothalamus can cause hypopituitarism. Resultant hormonal deficiencies may be partial and may take years to develop fully. Therefore, the clinical picture is often subtle and may include numerous manifestations, depending on the hormones involved and the patient's age at onset. In addition to discussing the causes of hypopituitarism, the authors of this article describe how to recognize and treat resulting hypothyroidism, adrenal insufficiency, hypogonadism, and growth-hormone deficiency. ...

Excerpt: Hypopituitarism is the decreased (hypo) secretion of one or more of the eight hormones normally produced by the pituitary gland at the base of the brain. If there is decreased secretion of most pituitary hormones, the term panhypopituitarism (pan meaning "all") is used. The signs and symptoms of hypopituitarism vary, depending on which hormones are undersecreted and on the underlying cause of the abnormality.

Product Description
Neuroendocrine derangements after traumaticbrain injury (TBI) have received increasingrecognition in recent years. Marked changes of thehypothalamo-pituitary axis have been documented inthe acute phase of TBI with as many as 80% ofpatients showing evidence of gonadotropindeficiency, 18% of growth hormone deficiency, 16% ofcorticotrophin deficiency and 40% of patientsdemonstrating vasopressin abnormalities.Longitudinal prospective studies have shown thatsome of the early abnormalities are transient, whilenew endocrine dysfunction becomes apparent in thepost acute phase. There remains a high frequency ofhypothalamic-pituitary hormone deficiencies amonglong term survivors of TBI with approximately 28%patients showing one or more pituitary hormonedeficiencies. This is a higher frequency thanpreviously thought and suggests that most cases ofpost traumatic hypopituitarism (PTHP) remainundiagnosed and untreated. The data underscore theneed for the identification and appropriate timelymanagement of hormone deficiencies, in order tooptimise patient recovery from head trauma. ... Read more

Product Description
It has been known for over 40 years that GH-deficient children benefit from replacement with the hormone. But GH, essential for longitudinal growth, also plays a role after completion of final height. With the introduction of biosynthetic human GH 20 years ago, the use of GH was no longer restricted to severe growth retardation in hypopituitary children. This book will take the reader behind the myths of GH and into the real world of clinical endocrinology. The contributions stem from recognized clinicians and scientists who have been working in the field for decades. The contents encompass traditional end points of GH therapy such as body composition, bone biology and physical performance. Attention is also devoted to diagnostic aspects and side effects.Additional features range from clinical epidemiology to quality of life, and novel areas such as the impact of traumatic brain injury on pituitary function are also covered. The present volume of "Frontiers of Hormone Research" is essential reading for health care professionals interested in clinical endocrinology and GH. ... Read more
