This open access book provides basic concepts on Integrated Diagnostics and Theranostics with special emphasis on different human thyroid diseases. Thyroid diseases are increasingly detected (incidentally in many cases) but are clinically negligible in a significant proportion of patients. Accordingly, it is urgent to move from the simple disease detection to a reliable disease characterization in order to concentrate efforts on patients in need of tailored disease management. The current scenario of in vitro and in vivo diagnostics, is fastly moving toward the Integrated Diagnostics (i.e. convergence of imaging, pathology and laboratory tests with advanced information technology). Furthermore, the integration of different information will aid clinicians to properly select treatments and stratify patients¿ prognosis over time. Theranostics is a perfect paradigm of such integrated approach and radioiodine, indicated for benign and malignant thyroid disease management, was the first and is still the mostly used theranostic agent in medicine.Featuring basics concepts and clinical cases discussions the Atlas will be an invaluable tool for clinicians, laboratory specialists, imaging physicians and biomedical technologists involved in diagnosis and therapy of thyroid diseases.

Cardiovascular disease is currently the leading cause of death of pregnant and postpartum women in the United States. Pregnancy can exacerbate known cardiovascular disorders and unmask previously unrecognized problems. The field of cardio-obstetrics is emerging and a clear area of need for improved quality of care.This book is the first authoritative and comprehensive volume dedicated to contemporary and practical topics in Cardio Obstetrics.

Paraneoplastic Neurological Disorders, Volume 200 covers new, recent descriptions of autoantibodies against neuronal cell surface antigens (only partly associated with paraneoplastic disorders) and the introduction of new immuno-oncological drugs that can contribute to diseases that are pathogenetically indistinguishable from paraneoplastic syndromes. Besides investigating the pathogenetic mechanisms of these disorders, this book also explores what the introduction of new drugs used in immune checkpoint inhibitor cancer therapy are teaching us in terms of immunopathogenesis. Following sections present individual syndromes (phenotypical clinical manifestations) of the CNS, PNS, NMJ, and muscle. Finally, the book investigates the role of antibody markers that differentiate by cytoplasmic, nuclear, and neuronal cell surface reactivities. Side effects of the new immuno-oncological drugs increasingly used in cancer therapy are also covered.

Inherited White Matter Disorders and Their Mimics, Volume 204 discusses where imaging abnormalities and pathology lie predominantly in the CNS white matter. Many acquired causes, such as multiple sclerosis, are readily diagnosed and familiar to the majority of neurologists. However, less common acquired causes and genetic disorders (the leukodystrophies and genetic leukoencephalopathies) often present a diagnostic challenge. The evaluation of patients with White matter disorders (WMDs) has evolved enormously in recent decades, due to advances in genetics, radiology, and the development of treatments for specific disorders. This book brings together WMD research, spanning basic science, molecular genetics, and clinical and radiological phenotyping. This volume presents both common WMDs and rare disorders according to their presentations or pathophysiology. Chapters lay out the clinical and radiological presentation of the disorder, followed by genetics and diagnostics, and finally discussion of pathophysiology and treatment. Chapter contain imaging, clinical pearls to diagnosis, and reference tables for genotype-phenotype correlation. For diagnostic work-up, easy to read algorithms are presented as well as clear guidance on indications for treatment, where applicable.

Cell and Gene Therapies for Neurologic Diseases, Volume 205 comprehensively covers the scientific background, translational efforts, clinical developments and registered biologics that have entered into clinical practice. Coverage includes types of therapies available and in development, and best practice uses for a variety of neurological disorders including Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, ALS, stroke, spinal cord RP, demyelination, and epilepsy. As the emergence of gene and cellular therapeutics has changed the clinical landscape for a variety of disorders, and is now ready to do so for neurological diseases, these therapeutic modalities currently complement, and may in time, supplant small molecule drugs.

Diabetes mellitus has become epidemic on a global scale, and millions of new cases are diagnosed every year. With an estimated 80% of people with diabetes living in disadvantaged regions, and the key roles of lipoproteins in the pathogenesis of the chronic complications of diabetes, this volume will be relevant to many readers globally. It is our intention that the contents will advance knowledge of the readers who will use it to contribute to the reduction of the burden associated with altered lipoproteins in people with diabetes. The second edition of this book provides an updated and comprehensive review of the field. The book, which includes many tables and figures, is presented in three main sections: (i) Lipoprotein metabolism, qualitative changes and measurements; (ii) Lipoproteins and the complications of diabetes; and (iii) the treatment of lipoproteins in diabetes. Each chapter from the first edition has been updated, and new topics added. New topicsinclude the links between glycemia and lipoproteins, the role of lipoproteins in ischemic stroke, the diagnosis and management of statin intolerance (which is thought to be more common in people with diabetes) and the use of PCSK9 inhibitors and fish oils in the management of lipoproteins in people with diabetes. This book is written by an international group of experts in the clinical, laboratory and research aspects of lipoproteins in diabetes. Lipoproteins in Diabetes Mellitus, 2nd Edition is a comprehensive reference on the clinical and scientific aspects of lipoproteins in diabetes.

Managing COVID-19 alone can be a difficult in many cases, but for persons with pre-existing conditions such as diabetes the challenge can be all the greater, and specific considerations need to be taken when prescribing treatment to manage them. This book is a culmination of scientific work driven by personal conviction to enhance the care provided to the vulnerable populations COVID-19 patients with diabetes. It spans topics from the epidemiology and predictors of complications and increased mortality in COVID-19, to in-depth discussion of the pathophysiology of the disease. Pathophysiology of COVID-19 is addressed comprehensively as common soil pathogenetic pathways, and by organ system such as the lung, the kidney and most pertinently for diabetes, the diabetic foot ulcers and diabetes co-morbidities. A multi-disciplinary approach was needed to manage these complex patients; thus, the authors represent a variety of disciplines including pharmacology, endocrinology, nephrology,infectious diseases, podiatry, vascular surgery, pulmonary/critical care, and general medicine.Written by experts in the field, Diabetes and COVID-19: Considerations and Clinical Management is a blueprint for treatment of patients with both conditions.
