Hormone und Hormonsystem - Lehrbuch der Endokrinologie: Lehrbuch Der Endokrinologie (Springer-lehrbuch Ser.)
by Bernhard Kleine Winfried RossmanithDie technischen Fortschritte und neuen Möglichkeiten der molekularen Biologie – Genomanalysen, Expressionsanalysen, konfokale Lasermikroskopie, Proteomics – lassen die Physiologie von Wirbeltieren, genauso wie die von Nicht-Wirbeltieren, in einem neuen Licht erscheinen. Bei der Darstellung der Endokrinologie von Mensch und Tier wird dieser Entwicklung Rechnung getragen: Die Schwerpunkte liegen auf Hormonbiochemie, Hormonphysiologie, Hormonrezeptoren, endokrinen Organen und Regelkreisen und der Regelung endokriner Rhythmen. Die Betrachtung des Hormonsystems reicht von seinen Ursprüngen bei Invertebraten, seiner Evolution, den Wechselwirkungen mit Nerven- oder Immunsystem bis zu Stoffwechselstörungen bei menschlichen Gen-Defekten. Die 4. Auflage ist deutlich erweitert. Das Thema Stoffwechsel nimmt, verteilt über mehrere Kapitel, eine wesentlich größeren Raum ein. Komplett neu ist auch die Embryologie der endokrinen Organe.
Hormone – ihr Einfluss auf mein Leben: Wie kleine Moleküle Liebe, Gewicht, Stimmung und vieles mehr steuern
by Harald J. Schneider Nicola Jacobi Joscha ThyenOb Schwangerschaft, Wechseljahre, Verliebtsein oder Pubertät: Oft heißt es, die Hormone spielen verrückt. Doch weit gefehlt: Hormone, die Boten unseres Körpers, beeinflussen unser Leben von der ersten Sekunde an. Nur wenn sie tun, was sie tun sollen, funktioniert unser Körper, wie er soll. Zu wissen, wie das menschliche Hormonsystem arbeitet, ist nicht nur spannend, sondern hilft auch dabei, den eigenen Körper und die eigenen Gefühle und Handlungsweisen besser zu verstehen. Dieses Buch bietet gut verständliches Fachwissen, ausführlich erklärt und kompakt zusammengefasst. Es liefert Informationen zu hormonellen Störungen und beantwortet Fragen, die sich viele von uns schon einmal gestellt haben: Warum bin ich zu dick? Warum bin ich zu dünn? Warum fallen mir hier die Haare aus und habe ich dort zu viele? Warum schwitze ich so viel? Warum bleibt meine Periode aus? Warum bin ich dauernd müde? Sind's vielleicht die Hormone? Ganz nebenbei erfährt man auch, warum unser Hormonsystem aus der Steinzeit stammt und wieso das heute ein Problem sein kann, was Goliath mit einer Hormonstörung zu tun hatte oder warum „Mann“ nicht immer kann. Prof. Harald J. Schneider ist Facharzt für Endokrinologie. Seit 2000 behandelt er tagtäglich Patienten, die mit diesen und vielen anderen Fragen in seine Praxis kommen. Nicola Jacobi ist ausgebildete Journalistin und freie Autorin für verschiedene Medien. Sie ist aber auch Betroffene und beschäftigt sich deswegen seit vielen Jahren mit diesem Thema.
Hormones and Pregnancy: Basic Science and Clinical Implications
by Felice Petraglia Mariarosaria Di Tommaso Federico MecacciThe endocrine and neuroendocrine system in pregnancy involves highly complex maternal, fetal and placental mechanisms, which are critical for the maintenance of pregnancy, the timing of parturition, for fetal growth and protection from adverse fetal programming. This timely book summarizes the different endocrine aspects related to pregnant women, describing how hormones regulate physiological homeostasis and influence the pathogenesis of disease. The first section of the book covers the role of specific hormones in detail, including oxytocin, hCG and estrogen. The second section discusses gestational disorders such as diabetes, hypertensive disorders and preeclampsia and how the involvement of hormones has clinical implications for management. Best practice for management of endocrine disorders, which can negatively impact pregnancy, such as thyroid disease and obesity, is also reviewed. This book is essential for clinicians and scientists looking to gain knowledge of the role of hormones in pregnancy and how they can best support patients.
Hormones and the Endocrine System
by Bernhard Kleine Winfried G. RossmanithThis book focuses on hormones, and on how they are produced in very diverse regions of the body in humans and animals. But hormones can be found not only in vertebrates, but also in insects, shellfish, spiders, mollusks, even at the origin of metazoan diversification and exhibit the same pathways of synthesis. The book addresses the different classes of hormones: protein/peptides hormones, steroids and juvenile hormones and hormones like catecholamines, thyroid hormones and melatonin. It also discusses the types of hormone receptors, the majority of which are heptahelical G-protein coupled receptors or nuclear receptors. Particular attention is paid to the organs where hormones are created, with specifics on hormonal production and release, while a dedicated chapter details hormonal regulation from very simple to highly complex schemes. The remarkable kinetics of hormones production are also shown, before the book is rounded out by chapters on evolution in the endocrine system, the genetics of endocrine diseases and doping.
Hormones, Cognition and Dementia: State of the Art and Emergent Therapeutic Strategies
by Eef Hogervorst Victor W. Henderson Robert B. Gibbs Roberta Diaz BrintonA decade ago, estrogen-containing hormone therapy was viewed as a promising strategy for the prevention and treatment of dementia and age-related cognitive decline. However, treatment trials in women with Alzheimer's disease showed that estrogens did not reverse cognitive impairment, and clinical trials in healthy older women indicated that estrogens did not prevent cognitive decline. The Women's Health Initiative Memory Study trial even suggested an increased risk of dementia with treatment late in life. What happened? How are we to understand these findings? What are the implications for middle-aged and older women? What about testosterone, and what about men? And where do we go from here? This book brings together world-renowned experts in basic and clinical research on sex steroids, aging, and cognition to integrate existing findings with emerging new data, and offer challenging hypotheses on these key issues.
Hormones, Intrauterine Health and Programming
by Jonathan R Seckl Yves ChristenThe authors address in particular the role of hormones and their links with other maternal environmental mediators in developmental programming. The crucial nature of the placenta as an interface and target between maternal and foetal environments is addressed. Emphasis is made on the emerging science of epigenetics as a potential explanation for how environmental events that occur during brief windows of development may exert effects that impact upon somatic cells through many rounds of mitosis for much of the life span of the subsequent organism.
Hormones, Metabolism and the Benefits of Exercise (Research And Perspectives In Endocrine Interactions Ser.)
by Bruce SpiegelmanThe world is faced with an epidemic of metabolic diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. This is due to changes in dietary habits and the decrease in physical activity.

However, we are still learning how and why exercise provides metabolic benefits in human health. This open access volume focuses on the cellular and molecular pathways that link exercise, muscle biology, hormones and metabolism. This will include novel “myokines” that might act as new therapeutic agents in the future.

Horse Secrets
by A. S. AlexanderDr. A. S. Alexander, the writer and compiler of &“Horse Secrets,&” has had upward of 25 years&’ experience in matters pertaining to agriculture, horse breeding, veterinary science, press writing and teaching. He was the author of the first stallion service legislation and inspection regulation in America, the first law of the kind having been written by him and enacted by the Wisconsin Legislature in 1905. Similar legislation now is in force in some 16 other states, and it is accomplishing much for the improvement of horse breeding. Horse trading offers unusual opportunities and temptations for sharp practises. Both buyer and seller equally need to be horse-wise and alert. Dishonesty is discountenanced in the great horse markets, but it is common among scalpers, &“gyps&” and small traders outside of the recognized markets and is likely to be practised by either the buyer or the seller. The items published in these pages disclose many sharp practises which, aside from their interest as facts not generally known, are valuable as information for the man who would engage intelligently in horse buying and selling. The writer and publishers of this book desire to expose these tricks, and to decry their practise in the markets and among outside dealers and breeders. &“Forewarned is forearmed,&” and the information here given will doubtless save many a man from loss, and tend to make dishonesty less rife because less likely to succeed. In mentioning the various tricks herein disclosed, the exact methods have not been given in detail. We have no desire to instruct readers so that they may &“go and do likewise&”; for the same reason doses have not been given for the administration of the various drugs and &“dopes&” used by tricksters.
Horse Senses (Manson Ser.)
by Susan McBaneHorses perceive the world differently from humans because their senses developed differently through evolution to cope with different ways of living and surviving. Horses are essentially prey/flight animals. The horse's senses therefore determine how the world appears to him and how he reacts to it. As the horse's perception and understanding are v

Horses in Translation
by Sharon WilsieWith her landmark first bookHorse Speak: The Equine-Human Translation Guide, trainer Sharon Wilsie upended conventional methods of human-equine communication (using words and ropes, for example) with her clear classification of the language horses use with each other (body, breath, and intent), as well as an unparalleled explanation of how we as humans can effectively mirror it. Learning to &“listen&” and &“talk&” to horses in their language, instead of expecting them to comprehend ours, is a milestone in the progressive philosophy of horsemanship, helping find positive solutions to behavior and training problems and ultimately leading to fewer misunderstandings between horses and humans.In her much anticipated follow-up, Wilsie uses true stories to relate examples of &“problems&” and how they were solved using Horse Speak. Her engaging narrative introduces readers to dozens of real life scenarios from different barns, various disciplines, and riders and handlers with contrasting experiences and backgrounds. Wilsie highlights her Horse Speak process, the clues that point to the best course of action, and the steps she takes to connect with horses that have shut down, grown confused, or become sulky or aggressive for any number of reasons. The result is a book full of incredible insight and exciting possibilities.

Hospice Palliative Home Care and Bereavement Support: Nursing Interventions and Supportive Care
by Lorraine Holtslander Shelley Peacock Jill BallyThis book provides an unique resource for registered nurses working in hospice palliative care at home and for the community, outside of acute care settings and also incorporates literature related to palliative care in acute health care settings, as part of the overall services and supports required. Very few resources exist which specifically address hospice palliative care in the home setting, despite the fact that most palliative care occurs outside acute care settings and is primarily supported by unpaid family caregivers. An overview of the concerns for individuals and families, as well as specific nursing interventions, from all ages would be an excellent support for nursing students and practicing registered nurses alike.The book structure begins with a description of the goals and objectives of hospice palliative care and the nursing role in providing excellent supportive care. Chapters include research findings and specifically research completed by the authors in the areas of pediatric palliative care, palliative care for those with dementia, and the needs of family caregivers in bereavement. Interventions developed by the editors are provided in this book, such as the “Finding Balance Intervention” for bereaved caregivers; the “Reclaiming Yourself” tool for bereaved spouses of partners with dementia; and The Keeping Hope Possible Toolkit for families of children with life threatening and life limiting illnesses. The development and application of these theory-based interventions are also highlighted. Videos and vignettes written by family caregivers about what was helpful for them, provide a patient-and family-centered approach.The book will benefit nursing students, educators and practicing registered nurses by providing information, theory, and evidence from research.
