the reptilian thyroid and parathyroid glands
Veterinary Clinics of North America: Exotic Animal Practice, 2008Co-Authors: Sam Rivera, Brad LockAbstract:The field of reptilian Clinical Endocrinology is still in its infancy. The thyroid and parathyroid glands are intimately involved with many basic metabolic functions. These glands have been the subject of extensive research studies in reptilian species; however, the effects of abnormal gland function have been poorly documented in Clinical cases. These glands play a major role in maintaining physiologic homeostasis in all vertebrates. With the advent of more sensitive assays, it should be possible to measure the small amounts of hormones found in reptilian species. The purpose of this article is to review the literature regarding Clinical Endocrinology of the thyroid and parathyroid glands in reptiles.

role of mass spectrometry in Clinical Endocrinology
Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America, 2017Co-Authors: Siva S Ketha, Ravinder J Singh, Hemamalini KethaAbstract:The advent of mass spectrometry into the Clinical laboratory has led to an improvement in Clinical management of several endocrine diseases. Liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry found some of its first Clinical applications in the diagnosis of inborn errors of metabolism, in quantitative steroid analysis, and in drug analysis laboratories. Mass spectrometry assays offer analytical sensitivity and specificity that is superior to immunoassays for many analytes. This article highlights several areas of Clinical Endocrinology that have witnessed the use of liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry to improve Clinical outcomes.

Rare diseases in Clinical Endocrinology: a taxonomic classification system
Journal of Endocrinological Investigation, 2015Co-Authors: G. Marcucci, L. Cianferotti, P. Beck-peccoz, M. Capezzone, F. Cetani, A. Colao, M. V. Davì, E. Uberti, S. Prato, R. EliseiAbstract:Purpose Rare endocrine–metabolic diseases (REMD) represent an important area in the field of medicine and pharmacology. The rare diseases of interest to endocrinologists involve all fields of Endocrinology, including rare diseases of the pituitary, thyroid and adrenal glands, paraganglia, ovary and testis, disorders of bone and mineral metabolism, energy and lipid metabolism, water metabolism, and syndromes with possible involvement of multiple endocrine glands, and neuroendocrine tumors. Taking advantage of the constitution of a study group on REMD within the Italian Society of Endocrinology, consisting of basic and Clinical scientists, a document on the taxonomy of REMD has been produced. Methods and results This document has been designed to include mainly REMD manifesting or persisting into adulthood. The taxonomy of REMD of the adult comprises a total of 166 main disorders, 338 including all variants and subtypes, described into 11 tables. Conclusions This report provides a complete taxonomy to classify REMD of the adult. In the future, the creation of registries of rare endocrine diseases to collect data on cohorts of patients and the development of common and standardized diagnostic and therapeutic pathways for each rare endocrine disease is advisable. This will help planning and performing intervention studies in larger groups of patients to prove the efficacy, effectiveness, and safety of a specific treatment.
