      Clinical research is the tip of the spear for innovation and central in the development of improving safety and efficacy for patient centric care. Unfortunately, clinical research in academic practices is bogged down by inefficiency and infrequent regulatory oversight, thus leaving physicians unable to meet the clinical and research needs for driving innovation. Private practice is a valid practice cohort that can effectively, reliably, and reproducibly perform study related activities, for both FDA and non-FDA regulated studies, both industry-sponsored or investigator-initiat... Research in Private Practice fills a gap and provides a playbook for how to incorporate clinical research in a validated, safe, and compliant manner, allowing a needed meaningful contribution to the medical space, while concurrently maintaining fiduciary responsibility. Written for physicians by physicians.

This edition incorporates ground-breaking research that has occurred in the last 8 years particularly in molecular mechanisms such as mutations, epigenetics and signaling, environmental effects on homeostasis, and the pathogenesis of common endocrine diseases including endocrine malignancies, obesity, and diabetes.Among the most complex constructs in the body, the endocrine system sends chemical signals to specific receptors in other parts of the body, eliciting intracellular signaling pathways as their biological effect. The endocrine system regulates numerous processes including metabolism, biological cycles, internal fluid volume, reproduction and growth to maintain body homeostasis. However, the ways in which endocrine functioning can go awry are numerous. Providing over 400 updated articles, this 5 volume edition of Encyclopedia of Endocrine Diseases explores the extensive spectrum of metabolic and endocrine disease, capturing new diagnosis techniques, treatment methods and understanding of endocrine pathogenesis.This text, unique in its vast coverage and clear layout, is not only an indispensable resource for clinical professionals and researchers in endocrinology, but also accessible to advanced and undergraduate students.

      Episodes in the History of Medical Science: Discovery Confronts Orthodoxy highlights key moments in history where scientific and medical advances faced acceptance and rejection by the prevailing orthodoxy. This book places present-day disease protection in context by exploring significant medical and scientific theories, their success stories, challenges, and the frequent resistance to new ideas. It shows how acceptance of scientific discoveries often lags due to conservatism within the scientific community and broader socio-political and cultural influences. The book examines the origins of medical theory and practice, from the revolutionary ideas of Hippocrates and Galen to the rise of Islamic Medicine and the scholasticism of the Middle Ages. It covers the arrival of syphilis in Europe and the ensuing medical debates, the historical battle against smallpox through variolation and vaccination, and the skepticism faced by groundbreaking discoveries in the 19th and 20th centuries. Key topics include the gene debate, the thalidomide tragedy, the antibody revolution, and the paradigm shift in understanding stomach ulcers. The narrative also addresses the modern era's anti-vaccinationism and vaccine hesitancy, emphasizing the ongoing tension between scientific integrity and public acceptance. Episodes in the History of Medical Science: Discovery Confronts Orthodoxy is a valuable resource for medical professionals, researchers, historians, and students. It underscores the importance of scientific and medical integrity, the pursuit of truth, and validated scientific communication. By providing historical insights and examples of perseverance in the face of skepticism, this book offers valuable lessons for improving public health and understanding the dynamic journey of medical science.
