Questo volume nasce dall'esperienza del team C.I.B.O. (Centro Interdisciplinare Bariatria e Obesità) di Monza, che fa del metodo integrato il proprio punto di forza nella cura dell'obesità. Il gruppo è infatti composto da dietista, endocrinologo, psicologo e chirurgo che lavorano in stretto coordinamento tra loro. Il libro, oltre all'analisi medico-scientifica della specifica patologia, fornisce indicazioni nutrizionali e dietologiche su una corretta alimentazione; piccoli trucchi e soluzioni mentali per superare i momenti di crisi compulsiva; descrizione dettagliata, ma semplice e senza tecnicismi, delle varie tipologie di interventi endoscopici e chirurgici disponibili attualmente, evidenziandone punti di forza e debolezza; guida alla sintomatologia post-operatoria, con conseguente alterazione dei gusti e delle abitudini alimentari. Il testo raccoglie anche alcune testimonianze emblematiche di pazienti che hanno condiviso il percorso diagnostico/terapeutico relativo alla risoluzione del problema obesità e delle malattie a esso correlate con il C.I.B.O. Il paziente diventa narratore protagonista: la ricerca del miglioramento personale, il coraggio del cambiamento, una nuova fisionomia, la riconquista della motilità perduta hanno effettivamente migliorato la sua salute, il suo stato d'animo e la coscienza di sé; inoltre, gli hanno consentito un reinserimento completo nella società e il riscatto sociale nelle dinamiche lavorative e personali.

L'8° Rapporto sull'obesità in Italia, curato dall'Istituto Auxologico Italiano, esplora ampiamente la relazione bidirezionale tra obesità e sonno, discutendone i meccanismi patogenetici e le scelte terapeutiche, fornendo particolari riferimenti anche alle differenze di genere e alle peculiarità del problema nelle diverse epoche della vita (dall'infanzia fino alla terza età). Completa il volume il consueto capitolo dedicato alla diffusione dell'obesità in Italia, anche in relazione ai disturbi del sonno, con dati aggiornati a cura dell'ISTAT.

Recognising a need to promote and enhance teaching of clinical endocrinology and diabetes in UK medical schools, the Society for Endocrinology, in collaboration with Diabetes UK and the Association of British Clinical Diabetologists, created a national curriculum that sets out the minimum recommended standards for undergraduate medical education. Clinical Endocrinology and Diabetes at a Glance corresponds to the curriculum and covers all important areas of diabetes and endocrinology in a clinically relevant and concise manner, with complementary figures to ensure principles are explained clearly. It highlights key practical skills for undergraduates in line with the GMC recommendations that medical graduates should be well prepared for their Foundation posts. There is also emphasis on the importance of multidisciplinary teams in the management of endocrine diseases and diabetes. These include sections on structured education programmes, psychosocial aspects, and patient self-management and monitoring. Clinical Endocrinology and Diabetes at a Glance will serve as a valuable resource for medical students and junior doctors treating patients with these conditions.

Endocrinology is a complex specialty that spans a wide range of diseases, disorders, and conditions. The field is now moving toward an increasingly personalized approach to patient management, with a greater focus on mechanisms of disease and biomarkers. Written by internationally renowned specialists, the second edition of Endocrinology in Clinical Practice provides a cutting-edge, problem-orientated approach to the management of clinical problems in endocrinology. Highlights of the new edition include: * An overview of neuroendocrine disease * Strides made by the identification of aryl hydrocarbon receptor-interacting protein mutations in patients with familial isolated pituitary adenomas * The diverse roles of IGF-I * Changes in diagnostic imaging and the increasing use of positron emission tomography * The rapidly increasing incidence of neuroendocrine tumors and their management * Hereditary primary hyperparathyroidism and multiple endocrine neoplasia * Mechanistic and genomic advances related to disorders of calcium regulation and infertility * The endocrinology of aging * Protocols for pituitary function testing With complete updates to existing chapters, the second edition also presents new research data, diagnostic techniques, treatment options, and safety concerns related to existing therapies. This edition offers current guidance and scientifically focused information relevant to a range of clinical problems, making it an essential reference for practicing endocrinologists and specialist clinicians.

The Pituitary, Fourth Edition, continues the tradition of a cogent blend of basic science and clinical medicine which has been the successful hallmark of prior editions. This comprehensive text is devoted to the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of pituitary disorders. The new edition has been extensively revised to reflect new knowledge derived from advances in molecular and cell biology, biochemistry, diagnostics, and therapeutics as they apply to the pituitary gland. The wide spectrum of clinical disorders emanating from dysfunction of the master gland is described in detail by experts in the field. Fundamental mechanisms underlying disease pathogenesis are presented to provide the reader with an in-depth understanding of mechanisms subserving both normal and disordered pituitary hormone secretion and action. This extensive body of knowledge is useful for students, trainees, physicians, and scientists who need to understand critical pituitary functions and how to care for patients with pituitary disorders. Chapters provide medical students, clinical and basic endocrinology trainees, endocrinologists, internists, pediatricians, gynecologists, and neurosurgeons with a comprehensive, yet integrated, text devoted to the science and art of pituitary medicine.
