Dynamics of Bone and Cartilage Metabolism is a comprehensive treatise that spans the complete range from basic biochemistry of bone and cartilage components to the clinical evaluation of disease markers in bone and joint disorders. Part I of the book provides an up-to-date account of current knowledge of the structure, biosynthesis and molecular biology of the major tissue components, including the important regulators such as cytokines, growth factors, and proteases. The second part of the book covers the organizational structure and cellular metabolism of bone and cartilage. As with the first part, there are separate sections on bone and cartilage addressing their specific and unique functions. For bone, questions on mineralization, remodeling and hormonal regulation are covered as well as the derivation of products of metabolism: for cartilage, the physiology and pathology are reviewed in relation to the products of metabolism, together with recent data from animal and in vitro models. The first two parts of the book serve to contextualize all of the biochemical markers for assessing bone and cartilage metabolism. Part III deals with the utility of components specific to bone and cartilage as biomarkers of health and disease, both in experimental and clinical settings. A wide range of disorders affecting bone and cartilage metabolism is covered, including different forms of osteoporosis, metastatic bone disease and arthritic diseases, as well as some of the less common growth and degenerative abnormalities. This application-oriented part of the book is complemented by an initial section detailing the methodological and technical aspects of the various biochemical and genetic markers of disease and their measurements. With contributions from over 75 international experts, this book will be indispensable reading for those involved in skeletal research as well as for rheumatologists, endocrinologists, clinical biochemists, and other clinical disciplines participating in the management of the patient with bone and cartilage diseases. Key Features * Comprehensive and complete guide to bone and cartilage biochemistry and metabolism * Covers both aspects of skeletal integrity, bone and cartilage * Spans the interests of both research and clinical disciplines * Authoritative accounts from more than 75 experts in their respective fields * Provides clear biochemical bases for disease markers * Provides state-of-the-art accounts on genetic markers of bone and joint disease * Provides objective evaluations of the clinical applicability of disease markers

The general public and scientists have been exposed to a great deal of literature about the value of ensuring an adequate calcium intake throughout life. Results from several studies suggest that increased calcium intake is beneficial for bone health in people of different age groups, from children to the elderly. The results of this research and studies on other diseases indicate that the optimal level of calcium intake may be greater than the amount consumed by a majority of Americans. The papers at this conf. discuss and thoroughly evaluate the info. available on calcium intake and disease prevention. Participants include specialists in osteoporosis and bone health, oncology, hypertension, human nutrition, and food fortification and labeling, as well as the gen. public.

Derived from Principles and Practice of Endocrinology and Metabolism,Third Edition, this CD-ROM features a comprehensive compendium of endocrine drugs, laboratory values, and diagnostic tests. It provides quick access to the information most needed for clinical decision-making. The drug compendium is replete with indications, dosages, and side effects, and includes off-label indications as well as generic and trade names. The laboratory values include, for any agent, reference ranges in conventional and SI units, the conversion factor, intraindividual variation, physiologic changes, and drug effects. Dynamic endocrine procedures include how to perform the test, the expected outcome, and pearls on interpretation and methodology.
