Endocrinology

Analysis of short stature (SS) etiology, covering proportionate and disproportionate types, including causes such as chronic diseases, endocrine disorders, genetic syndromes (e.g., Achondroplasia, DiGeorge Syndrome), and nutritional deprivation. Includes notes on diagnostic tools like the Prader orchidometer.

This Consensus Statement from an international, multidisciplinary workshop sponsored by the Pituitary Society offers evidence-based graded consensus recommendations and key summary points for clinical practice on the diagnosis and management of prolactinomas. It addresses epidemiology and pathogenesis, clinical presentation, biochemical evaluation, imaging strategies, disease complications, and in-depth discussions on treatment (dopamine agonists, surgery, and radiation therapy). Management in special situations is also covered, including cystic lesions, mixed adenomas, giant/aggressive prolactinomas, pregnancy/fertility, children/adolescents, patients with underlying psychiatric disorders, and patients with chronic kidney disease.

A clinical question bank resource focused on endocrinology, covering patient presentations, investigation results, and immediate management decisions, such as diagnosing and treating Addisonian crisis in patients with concurrent hypothyroidism.

A concise rapid review guide for medical students and candidates preparing for the MRCP examination, focusing on core endocrinology topics. Content covers the pathophysiology, investigation, and management of conditions such as adrenal syndromes (Conn, Barter, Liddle), SIADH, and pituitary adenomas.

This book addresses current controversies and complex clinical questions surrounding the diagnosis and management of testosterone deficiency. Topics covered include measurement standards, side effects like erythrocytosis, the role of gonadotropins, testosterone's impact on fertility and the prostate, and its therapeutic use in females and the transgender population.
