According to the United Nations, the number of people aged 60 years or over in the world is projected to be 1.4 billion in 2030 and 2.1 billion in 2050. Endocrinologists and other clinicians face the challenge of caring for the elderly. To do so, they need to incorporate geriatric principles into their clinical practice. Endocrinology of Aging: Clinical Aspects in Diagrams and Images presents chapters in a way that allows the reader to incorporate concepts and main facts of complex subjects in a visual way. As the global population becomes older, the need for a deeper understanding of geriatric pathology increases, and with it, the access to educational resources for the endocrinology and metabolism of aging.
Chapters divided according to specific endocrine and metabolic systems, providing evidence-based content regarding what is known about the function of endocrine and metabolic systems altered during the aging process Addresses physiological changes that alter the pathophysiology of the clinical picture, explaining the characteristic pathological expressions of hormonal and metabolic disorders in the advanced age Editors and authors are clinical endocrinologists, geriatricians, internists and endocrine surgeons, with extensive global experience in clinical and experimental gerontology Considers the patient transitioning from young adult to elderly, discussing the endocrinological challenge to discern physiology from pathology Focuses on age as an essential factor for diagnostic and endocrine management Includes many pictures and diagrams, making it a user-friendly reference guide for practicing physicians

This volume contains the proceedings of the Symposium on GHRH, GH, and IGF-1: Basic and Clinical Advances, held December 9 - 12, 1993 in San Diego, California. Written and edited by eminent international experts, the papers herein cover: an overview of the physiology of GHRH-Somatostatin-GH-IGF-1 axis; the effects of recombinant human GH and/or IGF-1 in catabolic illness; contemporary issues in growth and development; the effects of rhGH and IGF-1 on intermediary and bone metabolism; and the use of GHRH, rhGH, and rhIGF-1 in aging.

Recent research suggests that adult growth hormone (GH) deficiency, whether of pathological or physiological origin, is associated with a dis tinct syndrome that includes alterations in body composition, endocrine metabolic function, immune competence, and physical and psychosocial well-being. Not surprisingly, substantial investigative effort is currently focused on validating the above hypothesis and on determining whether restoration of a normal GH-IGF-I axis in various states of adult GH deficiency is clinically useful, safe, and cost-beneficial. This book contains the proceedings from the Symposium on GHRH, GH, and IGF-I: Basic and Clinical Advances, held December 9 to 12, 1993, in San Diego, California, and sponsored by Serono Symposia USA, Inc. The conference was meant to highlight selected novel and exciting clinical research developments related to possible therapeutic uses of recombinant human GH and IGF-I, GHRH, GH releasing peptides, and related GH secretagogues. This meeting occurred only one year after a similar Serono symposium that was somewhat more oriented to novel basic science discoveries, thus attesting to the current scientific and clinical interest in this area.

Exciting papers by leading researchers are integrated in this volume with presentations having direct clinical relevance: thus, the latest scientific advances in aging research are coupled with reports on how these advances are being applied to longevity medicine.Topics include oxidative stress, genetic/biochemical mechanisms, hormone therapy, nutrition, fitness, and exercise, all as they pertain to aging. In exploring the links between the latest basic gerontological research and the practice of longevity medicine, the current challenges faced by both scientists and clinicians engaged in combating aging and its consequences are presented here. This volume is readily accessible to the educated reader who is interested in learning more about how to reduce the negative impact of aging on human health and longevity.
