Pediatrics; Endocrinology

This book is designed for practitioners ranging from students to residents, family physicians, and pediatricians, offering guidance to evaluate and treat straightforward pediatric endocrine issues. It covers the basic physiologic processes and concepts of endocrinology, addressing major signs, symptoms, diagnosis, and management of pediatric endocrine disorders.

A comprehensive guide covering pediatric growth and nutritional requirements. Topics include the four phases of human growth, anthropometric measurements (weight, height, OFC, MAC), nutritional deficiencies, Failure to Thrive (FTT), protein-energy malnutrition (PEM), Kwashiorkor, Marasmus, childhood obesity, rickets, vitamin deficiencies, and infant feeding practices including breastfeeding and weaning.

An in-depth guide summarizing a clinical discussion on the diagnosis, common pitfalls, and tailored treatment of rickets and severe vitamin D deficiency. Developed for pediatricians in the Middle East, the resource details comprehensive laboratory testing, radiological assessment, biochemistry of vitamin D metabolism, dosing regimens, and the management of complications in resource-limited settings.

This topic defines short stature and outlines the diagnostic approach for children and adolescents. It discusses normal variants (familial short stature, constitutional delay of growth and puberty) versus pathologic causes (Turner syndrome, systemic disease, hormonal abnormalities). The text details the evaluation process, including interpreting growth charts, calculating height velocity, determining bone age, and noting substantial sex differences in referral patterns.

A practical guide providing easily accessible information for primary care providers regarding the initial evaluation and management of signs and symptoms that may suggest pediatric endocrine disease. The book is organized by presenting signs, interpretation of laboratory testing, and management of common pediatric endocrine conditions.

A clinical textbook covering the diagnosis and treatment of endocrine disorders in pediatric patients.

A practical clinical guide detailing the diagnosis and management of conditions in pediatric endocrinology, aimed at clinicians and trainees in the field.

A clinical handbook providing practical guidance and authoritative information regarding pediatric endocrinology.

Although inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) are a rare cause of epilepsy, seizures are a common presentation in these disorders. Seizures in IEM are frequently refractory to conventional anti-seizure medication and might warrant initiation of specific treatments. This article aims to describe through a literature review, illustrated by videos and EEGs from personal cases, seizures, and EEG patterns in IEM, focusing on distinctive electro-clinical features that may help the clinician to establish an appropriate diagnosis and prompt specific treatment to improve outcome.

A clinical guide and handbook focused on endocrine system diseases in infants, children, and adolescents.

This clinical overview discusses acquired hypothyroidism, the most common disturbance of thyroid function in children. It covers the clinical manifestations (including declining growth velocity/short stature), causes (primarily autoimmune thyroiditis), diagnosis, and treatment of primary hypothyroidism, noting its potential deleterious effects on growth, pubertal development, and school performance.

A focused review covering the hypothalamic-pituitary axis, thyroid gland, adrenal disorders, and diabetes mellitus. Designed specifically to consolidate knowledge and prepare students for exams in endocrinology and internal medicine.
