Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility: Handbook for Clinicians

Product Description
Endocrine Pathophysiology, second edition, presents new insight into the immensely complex reactions that allow hormone interactions with receptors; the early onset, greater extent, and increased risk of metabolic disorders (e.g., diabetes, obesity, hyperlipidemia); new approaches to treatment; and new guidelines for management of blood glucose, cholesterol, and body weight. The author concentrates on basic principles of endocrine pathophysiology, illustrates their significance with clinical problems, and provides a framework for solving problems rather than focusing on details of treatment, which change constantly. Review questions and answers are provided for self-assessment.

Endocrine Pathophysiology, second edition

Product Description

Physical Activity and Obesity, Second Edition, addresses an array of topics that explore and divulge the links between physical activity (or inactivity) and obesity. Leading scientists from various backgrounds team up to provide an unrivaled resource examining the latest research and developments in the field. Each chapter provides researchers and practitioners with a clear explanation of the concepts, research techniques, and results of studies critical to understanding physical activity and the obesity epidemic.

In the 10 years since the first edition of this book was published, the field of physical activity and obesity has mushroomed with new research, sparking the need for not only a new edition but an innovative and refreshing approach to the contents. Editors Bouchard and Katzmarzyk create a go-to resource with 89 succinct, authoritative chapters that may be used independently or as a complete text. Packed with the most up-to-date information linking obesity and physical activity, this comprehensive book

•delves into areas of uncertainty and controversy instead of avoiding them or skirting the issues;

•emphasizes, where appropriate, the underlying mechanisms between physical activity and obesity; and

•points to research areas that need further exploration and attention.

The nine parts of the book flow logically and address obesity in all populations, including children and adults of various backgrounds, ethnicities, and social classes. An overview of the methods used in assessing the levels of sedentary behavior and physical activity is given, followed by a global view of the problem of physical inactivity and obesity. Readers will learn about the key determinants of physical activity levels and obesity and the links between a sedentary lifestyle and the risk of obesity. Other topics examined include behavioral and environmental correlates and determinants of obesity, the relationship between low physical activity energy expenditure and obesity risk, clinical implications, and policy and research issues related to physical activity and obesity.

Physical Activity and Obesity, Second Edition, helps readers better understand the role of physical activity in the overall energy balance equation. The unique format, expert contributors, and complete references make this resource indispensable for researchers, health and exercise practitioners, and students studying the ever-expanding topic of obesity as it relates to physical activity.

Textbook of Endocrine Physiology

Product Description
One of the only books to discuss all vertebrates, the fourth edition of Vertebrate Endocrinology has been completely reorganized and updated to explore the intricate mechanisms that control human physiology and behavior as well as that of other vertebrate animals. Perfect for students in endocrinology, zoology, biology and physiology, it allows readers to gain both an understanding of the intricate relationships among all of the body systems and their regulation by hormones and other bioregulators, but also a sense of their development through evolutionary time as well as the roles of hormones at different stages of an animal’s life cycle.

Chapters have been reorganized to more closely follow traditional classroom presentation and extensive suggested readings are included at the end of each chapter allowing the reader to obtain further information as well as connect concepts to the literature on which the book is based. For the first time, this edition features four-color illustrations as well as an ancillary web site with additional materials for instructors.

* Introduces the reader to suitable concepts and explanation of jargon so that the reader will be able to delve directly into the primary literature on any endocrine-related topic with a background that will aid in their interpretation of new information
* Revised and updated chapter on The Molecular Bases for Chemical Regulation that now includes more evolutionary data
* Includes information on endocrine disrupting chemicals and their implications on the health of wildlife and humans
* Companion website includes additional teaching materials such as power point slides of all illustrations in the book

Currently, over fifteen million Americans are struggling, day-by-day, hoping for a healthier life and a means to shed massive amounts of weight. Morbid obesity is a deadly epidemic causing over 300,000 deaths annually and is second only to cigarette smoking as the leading cause of preventable death in the United States. Sufferers of morbid obesity “are sick and tired” of being “sick and tired”. Feelings of desperation often lead them to attempt anything to lose 100 pounds plus of extra weight they carry, which makes them easy prey to fraudulent diet scams and untruthful advertising practices. For those who suffer with the disease of morbid obesity and have been unsuccessful at their diet attempts — there is another answer. In this book, the answer to a better and longer life is not a quick-fix diet nor a cosmetic procedure, but a medically accepted and the only proven method of weight loss for the devastating disease of morbid obesity. The method is properly known as bariatric surgery. Throughout the pages of A Complete Guide to Obesity Surgery, readers will be informed of the many advances that have been made in bariatric surgery over the past forty-plus years, in a language they can understand. A Complete Guide to Obesity Surgery also provides a truthful representation of bariatric surgery, including the potentially dangerous risks and the many benefits from a successful surgery. In addition, the many myths regarding the causes of obesity and the surgical treatment of the disease are explained in detail.

One of the goals of this book will be to provide potential surgery candidates and ther family members, the tools needed to properly weigh the risk of remaining morbidly obese versus the possible surgical complications. Readers will be informed of the surgical procedures available, how they promote weight loss, along with the advantages and disadvantages of each procedure. A Complete Guide to Obesity Surgery allows patients to gain valuable insight into surgery. This book provides readers with a step-by-step guide to researching a surgeon to postoperative care and includes postoperative diet instructions and the development of a personalized exercise prescription. The knowledge gained by reading this book will allow potential surgery candidates and their family members to form educated opinions. This ensures that each person will become prepared for the changes that will be necessary to reduce side effects and improve outcomes. Patient testimonials and pictures will provide amazing insight of the ups and downs through their surgical experience and their new lives.

Readers will find this book to be an informative, practical self-help guide to postoperative exercise and nutrition programs. A Complete Guide to Obesity Surgery is a well-organized comprehensive toolkit addressing the many issues that surround the surgical treatment of obesity.
