商品描述

The hypothalamus is an anatomically small but functionally important part of the brain. In functional and pathophysiological terms, the hypothalamus represents the intersection of several areas of clinical and medical expertise. The human hypothalamus can be astutely referred to as the crossroad of endocrinology, psychiatry, neurology and neurosurgery. Because of its involvement in myriad physiologic functions and the varied ways disorders involving it can manifest, hypothalamic disease can initially come to medical attention in widely disparate settings and with widely different clinicians. Therefore, the detection and proper care of hypothalamic dysfunction and disease often requires carefully coordinated multidisciplinary care.
This volume fills a significant void in the medical professional community, comprehensively presenting the scope of hypothalamic structure, function, dysfunction and disease to cater to the various clinical, teaching and research professionals that have a stake in this part of the human brain. This text captures in one place all the information that practicing clinicians, clinician scientists, and researchers need to be adequately informed about various aspects of the hypothalamus in all its complexity. It is comprehensive and broad in scope so that it provides relevant reference information for the wide range of professionals involved in the pre- and post-mortem detection, diagnosis, characterization, care and management of various hypothalamic disorders and diseases in addition to providing a sound anatomic and physiologic foundation of the normal human hypothalamus. The Human Hypothalamus can be used to differing degrees by medical professionals and students alike, finding utility for interested general clinicians, medical school and allied health professional teaching faculty as well as subspecialists in domains as wide as neurosurgery, neuroendocrinology, clinical psychiatry and neuro-oncology.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

下丘腦是一個在解剖上雖然小但在功能上卻非常重要的大腦部分。在功能和病理生理學的術語中,下丘腦代表了幾個臨床和醫學專業領域的交匯點。人類下丘腦可以敏銳地被稱為內分泌學、精神病學、神經學和神經外科的十字路口。由於它參與了無數的生理功能,以及涉及它的疾病可以以多種方式表現出來,因此下丘腦疾病最初可能在截然不同的環境中引起醫療關注,並且由不同的臨床醫生處理。因此,檢測和妥善照護下丘腦功能障礙和疾病通常需要精心協調的多學科護理。

本書填補了醫療專業社群中的一個重要空白,全面呈現下丘腦的結構、功能、功能障礙和疾病的範疇,以滿足對這部分人類大腦有興趣的各種臨床、教學和研究專業人員的需求。本書將執業臨床醫生、臨床科學家和研究人員所需的有關下丘腦各個方面的所有信息集中於一處,讓他們能夠充分了解下丘腦的複雜性。它的內容全面且範圍廣泛,為參與各種下丘腦疾病和障礙的死前和死後檢測、診斷、特徵描述、照護和管理的專業人員提供相關的參考信息,同時也提供正常人類下丘腦的堅實解剖和生理基礎。《人類下丘腦》可供醫療專業人員和學生以不同程度使用,對於有興趣的一般臨床醫生、醫學院及相關健康專業的教學人員,以及神經外科、神經內分泌學、臨床精神病學和神經腫瘤學等領域的亞專科醫生均有實用價值。
