Endocrinology In the endocrinology department, you would see an endocrinologist. An endocrinologist diagnose diseases related to the glands or certain types of cancers. In the department of endocrinology, we see patient both males and females of all ages. Our most common cases includes type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, hypercalcemia, hyperkalemia, hypervolemia, glycosuria, hyponatremia, obesity, pancreatic cancer and thyroid carcinoma. To help us diagnose what is wrong with you, we do things

Endocrinology is a branch of the medical profession that focuses on disorders of the endocrine system and hormones. In the twentieth century, the research and practice of endocrinology grew significantly, which led to the formation of various societies and journals dedicated to the field. As a result, there is now a relatively strong framework in place for endocrinologists to conduct research in the field and continue to expand our understanding of the endocrine system. This article will summarize

Time goes by very quickly and before you know it, the time to choose a career is right around the corner. When it comes to choosing a career, you have two choices: choosing an ideal career or a pragmatic career. My idealistic career is to become an endocrinologist and my pragmatic career is to become a pharmacist. I would love to live with both careers because they both interest me one way or another. Being an endocrinologist would allow me to talk with people who I can relate to and understand what

medicine in the first place. Now as I look to the next stage of my education, Endocrinology is the most apt field for me. While reading about a particular case in the Endocrine clinic, I came across a quote by an Endocrinologist who described the field as, “a discipline that provides continuing intellectual stimulation, pragmatic satisfaction, and great promise of discovery.” This clearly delineated all the attributes of Endocrinology that I look forward to, and my training thus far has prepared me to take

organism. Scientifically, endocrinology is defined as a study of endocrine glands and their secretions [12]. The human body has a lot of hormones that are released into the blood. In the following paper, endocrinology will be mainly addressed from a toxicological perspective. The toxicological impact of endocrine disrupting chemicals, specifically, Bisphenol A (BPA) will be discussed, following an introduction of the general endocrine system and its normal physiology. Endocrinology is the study of the

Turner Syndrome Shinji Lin December 15, 2015 Period 5 Turner syndrome is a chromosomal disorder that affects development in females. This condition is caused by a missing or incomplete X chromosome. In 1938, Henry Turner, an American endocrinologist, described seven women with short stature, lack of sexual development, neck webbing (extra skin on neck), low hairline, and cubitus valgus (arms that turn out at the elbow). Years earlier, Otto Ullrich, a German geneticist, independently described

There is a condition where the ovaries or testes do not function properly and results in the lowered or halted production of hormones (MedlinePlus, 2017). This condition is known as hypogonadism or gonadal deficiency. There are two main types of hypogonadism, central and primary. In women, primary hypogonadism is the dysfunction of the ovaries whereas central hypogonadism is when the centers of the brain, responsible for gonadal control, function improperly (The New York Times, 2012). The authors

When I first entered college, I had thought that I wanted to major in Biomedical Sciences. The reason being, I was diagnosed at the age of 7 with Type 1 Diabetes. I was tossing around the thought that I was interested, possibly, in having a career that involved my disease in it. From being a part of this compass program, I have learned about many careers. Even though I learned more of what I do not want to do, it has helped me narrow down to majors that I am more interested in. I was thinking of

An individual’s environment plays a pivotal role in their overall health. The environment can affect a range of physical and mental processes, and is considered a defining factor of well-being. As a result, specific geographic areas are instrumental in shaping an individual’s health profile. This is clearly seen in the disparity between those living in areas exposed to toxic substances, versus individuals living in clean environments. Individuals in unpolluted environments experience the advantage
