Greenspan's Basic and Clinical Endocrinology 8th ed - D. Gardner, D. Shoback (McGraw-Hill, 2007)

The title page of Basic & Clinical Endocrinology takes on a slightly different character in this, its 8th edition. In tribute to the outgoing coeditor and originator of this text, it will henceforth be referred to as Greenspan's Basic & Clinical Endocrinology. Like its predecessors, the 8th edition provides the most up-to-date information on the basic science and clinical aspects of endocrinology, covering everything from the molecular biology of thyroid hormone signal transduction to the clinical approach to the patient with Cushing's syndrome.

There are several new features in this edition that warrant attention. We have introduced completely new chapters on Evidence-Based Endocrinology (Chapter 4) and the Neurohypophysis (Chapter 6). Chapter 19 has been expanded to include discussion of the major causes of hypoglycemia in the pediatric population, and Chapter 8 has been extensively rewritten following the addition of Dr. Cooper and Dr. Ladenson to the growing list of authors contributing to this text. Each of the remaining chapters has been extensively revised and updated for inclusion in this edition. Reference lists, wherever possible, include web-based educational resources for physicians as well as their patients.

We hope that you will find this text useful as an up-to-date resource for information in the ever-expanding discipline of endocrinology, and as a valuable tool for the education of your trainees and the care of your endocrine patients.

Fundamental Neuroscience for Basic and Clinical Applns - D. Haines, et al., (Elsevier, 2007) WW

Our nervous system makes us what we are. Personality, outlook, intellect, coordination (or lack thereof), and the many other characteristics that are unique to each of us are the result of complex interactions within our nervous system. Information is received from the environment by sensory receptors and transmitted into the brain or spinal cord. Once inside the brain or spinal cord, this sensory information is processed and integrated, and an appropriate response is initiated.

The nervous system can be viewed as a scale of structural complexity. Microscopically, the individual structural and functional unit of the nervous system is the neuron, or nerve cell. Interspersed among the neurons of the central nervous system are supportive elements called glial cells. At the macroscopic end of the scale are the large divisions (or parts) of the nervous system that can be handled and studied without magnification. These two extremes are not independent but form a continuum; functionally related neurons aggregate to form small structures, which combine to form larger structures, and so on. Communication takes place at many different levels, the end result being a wide range of productive or life-sustaining nervous activities.
