Quick Guide to Endocrinology: The Pediatric Version

by DABCC Winter E M.D., Brittany Bruggeman S, Laura Michelle Jacobsen

Overview

Quick Guide to Endocrinology, The Pediatric Version, Second Edition, continues to be an essential resource which focuses on the physiology, diagnostics, and laboratory testing of endocrine (hormone-mediated) disorders encountered in the field of endocrinology with expanded coverage of pediatric endocrinology. The guide is for laboratory scientists and technicians, as well as trainees and clinicians in the field of pediatrics and pediatric endocrinology including fellows, residents, medical students, nursing students, and advance practice providers and students. It is presented in an easy to read, quick format, the physiology and method of measurement for hormones essential to many bodily processes and how their dysregulation results in disease. The characteristics of such diseases and diagnostic testing including up-to-date molecular testing is addressed. - Includes new topics on molecular testing for various endocrine diseases as well as clinically relevant immunoassay interferences - New coverage on children including newborn Screening for CAH and ADL not covered in previous edition - Present clear and concise new information of the latest research of endocrinology for quick access

About the Author

Dr. Winter is a professor of pathology, immunology, and laboratory medicine; pediatrics; and molecular genetics and microbiology at the University of Florida in Gainesville. He is principal investigator for the National Institutes of Health-funded Type 1 Diabetes TrialNet Islet Cell Autoantibody Core Laboratory and Islet Autoantibody Standardization Program. Dr. Winter directs the endocrine autoantibody laboratory that at the University of Florida, has given numerous presentations and has published extensively on behalf of the AACC. A multiple-time winner of the AACC outstanding speaker award, Dr. Winter has served on several AACC annual meeting organizing committees. He is a fellow of the College of American Pathologists and the National Academy of Clinical Biochemistry, which he served as a member of the board of directors. He has contributed more than 200 articles, chapters, and abstracts.Brittany Bruggeman, MD, is a board-certified pediatrician and pediatric endocrinologist and Diplomat, for the American Board of Pediatrics. Dr. Bruggeman received numerous scholarly awards. Most recently she received the 2020 Douglas J. Barrett, MD Academic Fellowship Award that recognizes pediatric clinicians or researchers for displaying the highest qualities in research, teaching and patient care. Dr. Bruggeman is a member of many professional organizations including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Diabetes Association and the Type 1 Diabetes TrialNet, an international network of endocrinologists at the forefront of Type 1 diabetesLaura Jacobsen, MD, is an assistant professor and pediatric endocrinologist who joined the University of Florida faculty in 2018 in the department of pediatrics. She completed her pediatric residency training at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, which was followed by a pediatric endocrinology fellowship at the UF Health Shands Children's Hospital in Gainesville, Florida. During her fellowship, Dr. Jacobsen was recognized for her excellence in medical student teaching, and she received the Henry A. Kokomoor Outstanding Fellowship Award. Dr. Jacobsen provides clinical care for children with endocrine disorders and diabetes. She performs clinical and translational research in the field of Type 1 diabetes to better understand what causes Type 1 diabetes and ways to halt or prevent it.
