Endocrine Diagnosis

The major advances in endocrinology in recent years have resulted from improved diagnostic tests that make it possible to delineate many of the syndromes that were previously lumped together. This book describes those tests that are most helpful and also points out those that have become obsolete. In 122 pages, the authors have included the essential diagnostic information that is found in the standard textbook of endocrinology that is ten times this length. Each chapter is well referenced and each syndrome is described in short, terse paragraphs. In controversial matters, the authors have selected the more rational middle ground. For example: they recommend a higher level of blood glucose for the diagnosis of diabetes than is commonly used. This is based on the fact that the overdiagnosis of diabetes may be a serious economic liability to the patient while there is no proved benefit to the treatment of asymptomatic diabetes.

An Arc of Endocrinology, by K. J. Catt, M.D., Ph.D., F.R.A.C.P. Boston: Little, Brown & Company, 1971, 154 pp., $5.95

This small volume reviews the rapid recent advances in endocrinology of the last few years. Much of the book was drawn from a series of articles in the Lancet, with the addition of two chapters; one on the endocrine changes in pregnancy, and the other a description of the tests utilized to determine endocrine function. Hormones in general are discussed and reviewed, with an all-too-brief treatment of the role of cyclic AMP as a mediator.

Recognition and Management of Testicular Failure

Except for unequivocal pituitary deficiency or abnormal sex chromosome patterns, the pathogenesis of testicular disorders is still relatively obscure. Advances in endocrinology are, however, clarifying the relationship of the gonadotropins to the development and regulation of testicular function. For some patients, particularly hypogonadotropic eunuchoids, this has opened the way to specific, if complex, therapy.

Recent Advances in Endocrinology,

This is a well-edited collection of informed progress reports in endocrinology. The section on the central nervous system and the secretion of anterior pituitary trophic hormones is written by Mess and Martini. Their report includes an analysis of the evidence for short feedback control of certain pituitary trophic hormones (direct effect of trophic hormones on their own secretion) and the effects of hormones from certain target organs in causing release of pituitary trophic hormones. In the section on control of corticosteroid secretion, James and Landon suggest that there would be increased use of indwelling needles for studies requiring multiple blood samples if investigators served more frequently as experimental subjects. The sections on calcium (Foster and MacIntyre), glucose (Marks and Samols), thyroid (Galton), labor (Csapo and Wood), radio-immunoassay (Landon), renin (Brown, Fraser, Lever, and Robertson), and the cancer cell as an endocrine organ (Ross) are all well done. The section on

Proceedings of the Second International Congress of Endocrinology.

The written record of the First International Congress of Endocrinology, which was held in Copenhagen in July 1960, consists of a thick volume containing the abstracts submitted in advance. As every congressgoer knows, advance abstracts often represent what the participant thought he was going to say, and may then be obsolete by the time the meeting takes place. The Second International Congress of Endocrinology was organized differently from the first one. Participation was by invitation only. Instead of a multitude of short talks given in up to 11 simultaneous sessions, speakers were invited to present up-to-date knowledge in 58 symposia and over 60 lectures. Further, socalled stop-press-sessions were reserved for the communication of red hot items of new information. Finally, a number of speakers, whom the organizers apparently considered to be prophetically gifted, were asked to give lectures dealing with expected future advances in endocrinology. The book was published with

Hypometabolism in relation to ear, nose, and throat disorders.

In ear, nose, and throat practice, as in medicine in general, modern concepts of endocrinology have diverted attention from its older knowledge. These revised concepts often have totally disregarded the significance of other pertinent factors, especially those related the problem of metabolism. The situation, in this connection, is precisely expressed by Simpson, 1 in reporting on some recent advances in endocrinology: We have perhaps been rather dazzled by the influence of new hormones on the symptomatology of disease processes, and it might be argued by the pragmatic physician, or humanitarian, that successful therapy is the end-object of all medical research, but this conception certainly cannot replace the need for a deeper understanding of the causation of disease and its course. The present study was undertaken because the problems entailed have been insufficiently dealt with in modern medical practice. It would be a great mistake, as Simpson emphasized, to ignore
