Synopsis

This up-to-date and comprehensive set of two CD-ROM discs provides a superb collection of official Federal government documents on the subject of adrenal gland disorders. The adrenal, or suprarenal, glands are located near the top of each kidney. These glands produce hormones that a person can't live without, including sex hormones and cortisol, which helps the body respond to stress and has many other functions. Adrenal disorders can cause the adrenal glands to make too much or not enough hormones. With Cushing's syndrome, there's too much cortisol, while with Addison's disease, there is too little. Some people are born unable to make enough cortisol. Tumors can also cause disorders in the adrenal glands. Bleeding and infection can cause an adrenal gland problem that can be fatal without quick treatment. For patients, practical information is provided in clearly written patient education documents. For medical professionals, doctor reference tools and texts have detailed technical information and clinical background material. There is no other reference that is as fast, convenient, and portable - everything you need to know, from the federal sources you trust. This thoroughly researched collection presents vital information from many authoritative sources: Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Centers for Disease Control (CDC), National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the relevant institute for this disease, and others. In addition to the comprehensive disease-specific coverage, this disc set also includes our Medical Encyclopedia, a $19.95 value!
