Produktinformationen zu „Amenorrhea “
Amenorrhea: A Case-Based Clinical Guide is a comprehensive review of the current knowledge regarding normal female reproductive physiology. Replete with interesting case vignettes and providing diagnostic algorithms and therapeutic strategies for amenorrhea, Amenorrhea: A Case-Based Clinical Guide is divided into three sections. The first section is composed of two chapters that provide a thorough review of basic science and clinical knowledge about the organ systems responsible for normal physiology of the menstrual cycle. The second section includes discussion about menstrual cycle disruption as it relates to hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction, surgical and natural menopause, genetic defects, premature ovarian failure/insufficiency and the effects of caloric excess and restriction. The third section offers an update on the physiological effects of prolonged amenorrhea induced surgically or by hypothalamic dysfunction and also includes an original chapter that focuses solely on the impact of race and ethnicity on the prevalence and diagnosis of amenorrhea. Amenorrhea: A Case-Based Clinical Guide brings together chapters from renowned experts who offer state-of-the-art, clinically useful information in a case-based, reader-friendly fashion. This title will be a welcome addition to the bookshelves of all clinicians who practice in women's health settings.

This title draws together worldwide experts who offer the practitioner state-of-the-art, clinically useful information in a reader-friendly fashion and will be a welcome addition to the bookshelves of all physicians who practice in women's health settings. Chapter one covers the basic physiology of the reproductive axis in women, incorporating the newest information on hypothalamic, pituitary and ovarian signaling. Chapter two details the science of sex steroid responsiveness to estradiol and progesterone and the basic mechanisms responsible for menstrual shedding and its failure to occur on an anatomic basis. Emphasis is placed on the mechanisms by which long term amenorrhea is induced by chronic progestin administration-a common issue encountered in clinical practice. Chapter three then moves into conditions causing amenorrhea and begins with idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and hypothalamic amenorrhea (WHO I amenorrhea), introducing these conditions and describing the mechanisms that lead to failure of the hypothalamic pulse generator, using a case based approach. Diagnostic algorithms to guide the clinician are emphasized. Chapter four covers polycystic ovary syndrome, one of the most common endocrinopathies in women. Chapter five is on premature ovarian failure/insufficiency (POF/POI). Chapters six and seven are on prolactin and pituitary causes of amenorrhea and the athletic triad, respectively, with the latter chapter describing the newest scientific findings about the relationship between energy balance and menstrual regularity, offering clinicians a practical approach to the diagnosis and treatment of these problems which are commonly found in physically active adolescents. Chapter eight covers obesity, eating disorders and menstrual disturbances and chapter nine is on natural and surgical menopause. Chapter ten begins section three of the title and covers long-term clinical implications of amenorrhea, covering the new and emerging data on the chronic nature of many conditions that cause amenorrhea, and its tendency to affect different groups of women differentially, and at different times of life. Chapter ten is on clinical implications of prolonged hypothalamic amenorrhea. Chapter eleven covers long-term implications of hysterectomy with or without oophorectomy and the final chapter, twelve, reviews the issue of ethnicity and amenorrhea, providing an overview of new data that implicate ethnicity as a significant covariate for almost all known types of amenorrhea and also touching on how ethnic disparities in treatment-both surgical and medical-exist and affect outcomes.

Rezension zu „Amenorrhea “
From the reviews:"This book ... is the only book available that covers all aspects of amenorrhoea exclusively. ... this book provides a comprehensive review of a common but often puzzling gynaecological symptom. ... this book is a welcome addition. It focuses on a small but important part of gynaecology and it will serve the needs of practising gynaecologists, trainees and other clinicians well." (Madhavi Vellayan, The Obstetrician & Gynaecologist, Vol. 13 (4), October, 2011)
"In Amenorrhea, A Case-Based, Clinical Guide, the editors state that they set out to organize a comprehensive review of amenorrhea that would update clinicians 'on our current knowledge regarding normal female reproductive physiology and ... discuss the pathophysiology, diagnostic algorithms, and therapeutic intervention for amenorrhea.' The book begins well, with two chapters on what is normal, followed by chapters addressing the various causes of amenorrhea. ... The last several chapters were especially informative." (R. Wayne Inzer, Baylor University Medical Center Proceedings, July, 2011)
"This concise but comprehensive review of reproductive pathophysiology and amenorrhea presents relevant and thought-provoking clinical vignettes. ... this book is aimed at practicing clinicians, both residents and students would benefit from reading it as well. The editors and many of the authors are specialists who are knowledgeable and well known in the field of reproductive medicine. ... This is an extremely valuable book for a wide variety of clinicians who treat female patients." (Kerri Lynn Luzzo, Doody's Book Reviews, January, 2011)
