A groundbreaking, proven approach for successfully diagnosing and treating the millions with hypothyroidism. Depression, weight gain, fatigue, headaches, memory lapses, hair loss—these are just some of the vague, often debilitating symptoms that plague the more than 13 million patients with hypothyroidism. The typical blood test for diagnosis is often inaccurate, leaving many to suffer through ineffective treatment. But now, there is a solution: Dr. Blanchard’s groundbreaking program draws on emerging research, medical facts, and three decades of clinical experiences as an endocrinologist. This individualized program uses questionnaires and charts to help diagnose sufferers through symptoms, not only lab results. It then treats patients of all ages with the safe but little used T3 hormone in combination with the more common T4 hormone. Also including specific nutritional advice and alternative treatments, this is the one program for sufferers of hypothyrodism that really works!

Incidence of invasive fungal sinusitis has been increasing over the years. The understanding of its pathophysiology has improved with newer serological tests and diagnostic methods helping in earlier diagnosis and reducing patient morbidity. It was believed earlier that invasive fungal sinusitis is seen only in immune compromised patients but clinical reports suggest otherwise. More anti-fungal drugs are being added to improve incidence of patient survival. This book aims to compile all practical information about invasive fungal sinusitis into a single volume. Therefore, busy clinicians would not have to perform exhaustive literature studies to diagnose invasive fungal sinusitis. The book aims to provide an overview of diseases which could be mistaken for invasive fungal sinusitis and discuss how the management is different. Book sections consist of clinical, microbiological, serological, pathological, radiological and pharmacological features of the disease and its management. Each section is important in today’s context as it dynamically alters the management of the patient. Early clinical suspicion and rapid microbiological, pathological and radiological diagnosis with aggressive treatment with surgical debridement and medical therapy leads to favorable outcomes.
his volume is the most comprehensive reference on the diagnosis, surgical correction, pharmacological treatment, and long-term management of virtually every major disorder of the paranasal sinuses. Its encyclopedic coverage encompasses all inflammatory diseases, fractures, neoplasms, and related conditions of the nose, paranasal sinuses, and orbit. The book provides complete information on food and inhalant allergy testing, diagnostic imaging, bacteriologic tests, and other diagnostic strategies. Noted surgeons demonstrate the latest refinements in conventional and endoscopic surgery, including procedures for sinusitis; skull base surgery for sinus neoplasms; restoration of palatal, nasal, and orbital defects; orbital decompression; transseptal-transsphenoidal hypophysectomy; fracture repair; and nasal septal surgery. Also included are thorough reviews of nonsurgical interventions such as antibiotic regimens for sinusitis, intranasal corticosteroids, cromolyn sodium, antihistamines and decongestants, and immunotherapy (hyposensitization) regimens.
