Case Compendium in Endocrinology is a concise collection of a variety of cases in endocrinology, edited by experts based in India and the United States.The book is divided into 28 chapters, detailing a broad range of cases, from primary ovarian failure through hyperparathyroidism, to an unusual case of hypoglycaemia. Each case is presented with a case history and relevant data from physical examination and investigations. A differential diagnosis is provided for each case with full explanations, and each case in followed by a short suggested reading list.Case Compendium in Endocrinology provides up-to-date reviews of current practice and a variety of recommendations for the management of endocrine disorders, including Graves’ disease, hypercalcaemia, Sheehan syndrome, acromegaly and Cushing’s disease. This book is an ideal day-to-day resource for endocrinologists and general physicians.Key Points Collection of endocrinology cases, with case history, data, and differential diagnosisEdited by endocrinology experts based in India and the USARecommendations for management of a broad range of endocrine disorders

The first section covers general management of diabetes in women, and includes discussion on cardiovascular risks, transitional care to young adulthood, eating disorders, anxiety and depression in women with diabetes, and the menopause and diabetes. The second section focuses on pregnancy and diabetes, covering preconceptional care, intrapartum and postpartum management, and long term outcomes for infants born to mothers with diabetes.The third section focuses on ‘special topics’ including infections, female sexual dysfunction related to diabetes, and assisted reproductive technologies. Illustrated in full colour throughout, Diabetes & Women’s Health is an essential resource for diabetologists, obstetricians and gynaecologists.Key PointsGuide to the management of diabetes in female patientsCovers management from adolescence, through young adulthood, pregnancy and the menopauseIllustrated in full colour throughout

HFpEF, or Heart Failure with preserved ejection fraction, is a type of heart failure where the heart's main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) becomes too stiff to fill properly with blood, even though it can still contract normally. This leads to symptoms like breathlessness, fatigue, and swelling due to blood and fluid backing up in the lungs and body. HFpEF is often associated with other conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and heart disease, and treatment focuses on managing these underlying factors and relieving symptoms.Based on the experience of more than 300 contributors, this book is a comprehensive guide to the diagnosis and management of HFpEF, explaining advances in clinical approach, imaging including echocardiography, and multimodality imaging; and drug, mechanical and surgical interventions.Comprising 21 sections and169 chapters, as many as 28 chapters in this book deal with echocardiography and HFpEF. Assessment of HFpEF using echocardiographic techniques such as three-dimensional echocardiography and more recent advances such as speckle tracking of echocardiography for assessment of left ventricular, left atrial, right ventricular, and right atrial strain, are covered in depth.Discussion on echocardiographic ventricular and atrial remodeling reversal with various therapeutic agents, including sodium‐glucose cotransporter‐2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, angiotensin receptor–neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI), and bisoprolol, is included.Exercise-induced left atrial hypertension in HFpEF and the effect of various therapeutic agents on left atrial stiffness index, left atrial function, and other left ventricular diastolic parameters are also examined.
