The scope of the book is comprehensive, covering all relevant facets of acromegaly, beginning with a history of the disorder and a review of the somatotrophic axis. Etiology is then discussed, including growth hormone secreting pituitary adenomas and other neuroendocrine tumors. Subsequent chapters present imaging modalities and diagnosis via radiology and clinical findings, as well as comorbid symptoms such as sleep apnea, musculoskeletal considerations, cardiovascular disorders, cancer and diabetes. Both medical and surgical management chapters describe each in detail, including radiotherapy, transsphenoidal surgery, somatostatin analogues and dopamine agonists. Concluding chapters present long-term follow-up as well as an extended selected patient story detailing life with the disease. Bringing together the latest in endocrinologic and neurosurgical evidence and practice, Acromegaly will be the go-to resource for this challenging condition for years to come. . 001451176 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001451176 650_0 $$aAcromegaly. 001451176 650_0 $$aAcromegaly$$xDiagnosis. 001451176 650_0 $$aAcromegaly$$xTreatment. 001451176 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001451176 7001_ $$aBlevins, Lewis S.,$$d1961-$$eeditor.$$1https://isni.org/isni/000000003238250X 001451176 7001_ $$aAghi, Manish K.,$$eeditor. 001451176 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tAcromegaly.$$dCham : Springer, 2022$$z9783031162572$$w(OCoLC)1348995976 001451176 830_0 $$aContemporary endocrinology (Totowa, N.J.) 001451176 852__ $$bebk 001451176 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-16258-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001451176 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1451176$$pGLOBAL_SET 001451176 980__ $$aBIB 001451176 980__ $$aEBOOK 001451176 982__ $$aEbook 001451176 983__ $$aOnline 001451176 994__ $$a92$$bISE
