Abstract:
Related to bidirectional interaction between electrophysiological and endocrine activity during sleep, which are assessed by sleep electroencephalography (EEG) and hormone profiles, respectively, sleep changes occur frequently in endocrine disorders. In most of these disorders, sleep is impaired. Only in patients with prolactinoma is slow-wave sleep elevated. This chapter summarizes the current knowledge on sleep in disorders of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenocortical (HPA) and hypothalamic–pituitary–somatotropic (HPS) systems, in hypo- and hyperthyroidism, in diabetes mellitus, in prolactinoma, in disorders related to gonadal hormones, and with regard to disturbed endocrine rhythms related to environmental influences.

Abstract:
The endocrine system describes an array of chemical signals (hormones). Working in concert with the nervous system, the endocrine system forms a complex neurohumoral network, communicating changes in the environment to facilitate adaptive responses and serving to integrate those responses in a coherent, coordinated manner. The endocrine system has inherent rhythmicity, which has important implications for the integration and coordination of metabolism, and how we measure endocrine signals in clinical settings. At a cellular level, hormone action is mediated through a series of discrete, but interacting signal transduction pathways. This chapter outlines a functional design approach to endocrinology; providing a framework covering the principles of hormone regulation and hormone action—critical for understanding the role of the endocrine system in physiology and pathophysiology.

Abstract:
Patients may have metabolic and endocrine dysfunction that is primary and results in surgical pathology, or the surgical condition can produce metabolic changes that influence the administration of anesthesia. These disorders can vary with incidence of occurrence from commonly encountered situations such as hyperkalemia, to more rare disorders such as the porphyrias. Knowledge of the metabolic/endocrine derangements can lead to treatment that can be life-saving during the perioperative period. While it is important to periodically review the new developments in metabolism and endocrinology disorders, it is also helpful to review the long standing accepted treatments of the more unusual disorders. This will help to improve the application of appropriate treatment steps in the perioperative care of the patient.

Abstract:
It is important for clinicians to be conversant with the physiological changes that occur in various organ systems during sleep, and the impact that sleep fragmentation and sleep deprivation have on the normal functioning of these systems. This chapter therefore strives to provide a brief overview of the physiological changes associated with sleep that occur in the central nervous system (CNS), the autonomic nervous system (ANS), the neuromuscular system, the respiratory system (including changes in the control of breathing during various stages of sleep) and cardiovascular systems, the gastrointestinal tract, the endocrine system, and the systems controlling thermoregulation and immune regulation. Additionally, the mechanisms underlying muscle hypotonia in sleep, as well as sleep-related changes in cerebral blood flow and cytokine function are discussed.

Abstract:
A wide range of endocrine abnormalities commonly accompany and complicate HIV infection, many of which have implications for psychiatrists and other mental health professionals working with this population. Such abnormalities include adrenal insufficiency, hypercortisolism, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, hypogonadism, decreased bone mineral density, and bone disease. Endocrinopathies are great mimickers of psychiatric disorders, manifesting in some cases as disturbances of mood, sleep, appetite, thought process, energy level, or general sense of well-being. Understanding the intricate and complex relationships between immunological, endocrinological, and psychological systems is important to improve recognition and treatment of reversible endocrinopathies, diminish suffering, and enhance quality of life and longevity in persons with HIV and AIDS. This chapter will present an overview of HIV-associated changes in the function of the hypothalamic–pituitary axes, adrenal glands, thyroid gland, gonads, and bone and mineral metabolism, and consider the psychosocial implications of such endocrinopathies.

Abstract:
Common endocrine disorders often present with psychiatric symptoms and may be mistaken for primary psychiatric disorders. Dysregulation of the following endocrine systems commonly affects behavior: the adrenocorticoid system, the thyroid system, the parathyroid system, the pancreas and regulation of glucose, and the reproductive system. Symptoms of depression and anxiety are common across the spectrum of endocrine disorders and more severe cases may include psychotic features. Clinicians are often faced with the challenge of identifying an underlying endocrine etiology for behavioral changes based on relatively nonspecific symptoms. A general understanding of the signs and symptoms associated with elevated or decreased hormone levels can assist in the differential diagnosis and ultimately increase the likelihood that a patient receives appropriate treatment. Accurate diagnosis can be especially critical in acute behavioral emergencies.

Abstract:
Thyroid function, glucose metabolism, and an adaptive hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis are critical determinants of health and wellness. This chapter highlights the integrative physiology and interactions between these three systems and an integrative medicine approach to these conditions. Integrative medicine expands the evaluation of endocrine dysfunction through a person-centered approach. Patients’ overall symptoms and physiological function should be taken into account in evaluating thyroid function and planning treatment. Our approach to diabetes focuses on the importance of lifestyle changes and nutrition. Our perspective of the effects of chronic stress has been informed by current perspectives on neurobiology and neuroplasticity; chronic stress leaves its mark on the brain through changes in structure as well as its function in adapting to further stress. We present an integrative approach to manage and improve these three endocrine systems to address disease and improve patients’ energy and health.

Abstract:
The molecular basis of ageing is reviewed. This includes the concept of a summation of DNA damage over a lifetime causing genome instability. Epigenetic alterations, telomeric shortening, and the possibility of their modification are discussed. Oxidative and mitochondrial DNA damage and the resulting dysfunction leading to senescence are briefly described. Systemic problems and resultant behavioural adaptation may mask the decline in functional reserve and cause some of the difficulties in identifying its presence in ill elderly patients. Specific organ system changes are then described in some detail. These include the major concerns with the cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, hepatic, neurologic, endocrine, and musculoskeletal systems. The effect of ageing on the special senses of vision and hearing are covered, with emphasis on issues of informed consent.

Abstract:
Endocrine disorders can cause diverse changes in cognition and affect as well as changes in neuromuscular function that may simulate primary neurologic disease, and they generally require a specialized endocrine workup to make a diagnosis. For example, hypoparathyroidism, which may be congenital (e.g., DiGeorge syndrome or Kearns-Sayre syndrome) or disease-acquired (e.g., autoimmune hypoparathyroidism) can present as neuromuscular irritability or tetany due to hypocalcemia, the most distinctive features, which may manifest as carpopedal spasm or laryngospasm. Primary hyperparathyroidism is the most common cause of hypercalcemia and is usually due to oversecretion of PTH by a solitary adenoma of the parathyroid glands. This chapter covers most common primary endocrine disorders that can present as neurological disorders.

Abstract:
The complex endocrine response to exercise in children and adolescents includes significant changes in hormones that regulate muscle adaptations and growth. Better understanding of this system makes the possible use of hormonal changes as an objective tool to gauge exercise intensity and duration, to assess training response, and to improve our understanding of the beneficial and deleterious hormonal effects of competitive sports (e.g. on growth and reproduction). Moreover, better understanding of the unique relationship between exercise and the endocrine system is important not only for children and adolescents engaged in competitive sports, but also to those with chronic diseases and disabilities who wish or need to increase their physical activity levels. The effect of a single exercise bout on the endocrine system and in particularly on the GH-IGF-I axis, the reproductive system, and the adrenal gland is discussed.

Although advances in biochemistry, physiology, cell biology, molecular biology, and genetics have explained many of the mechanisms of endocrine disease and hormone function, the essential subject of endocrinology remains the same—the signaling, by secreted substances, which control and coordinate the function of multiple organs and processes. These processes affect both the precise short-term control of whole body homeostasis and longer-term adaptation and developmental changes.

Abstract:
Burn injury is notable for the degree and duration of pathophysiological alterations that it induces. Burn triggers profound changes in metabolism, immune function, and endocrine function, leading to a host of negative effects, including catabolism of muscle and bone and insulin resistance. These changes may persist or evolve for years after the injury has occurred, delaying recovery. This chapter discusses all of these consequences of burn injury, along with other adverse outcomes, specifically growth delay in children and hypertrophic scarring. Particular attention is placed on what is known about the mechanisms underlying each of these pathological changes and, in some cases, current practice in their management. A description is also provided of some of the pharmacologic (i.e. oxandrolone and recombinant human growth hormone) and non-pharmacologic (i.e. exercise therapy) approaches that hold promise in the treatment of burn injury and its consequences.

Abstract:
Peripheral vascular diseases, such as aneurysmal disease, intermittent claudication, acute arterial occlusion, and thromboangiitis, are prevalent in current medical practice. Vasospastic disorders, another class of vascular disease, are characterized by episodic color changes of the skin resulting from intermittent spasm of the small arteries and arterioles of the skin and digits. Vasospastic disorders are important because they frequently are a clue to another underlying disorder, such as arterial occlusive disease, connective tissue disorders, neurologic disorders, or endocrine disease. Characteristic clinical features, accurate diagnostic techniques, and improved treatment of peripheral vascular disease further emphasize the need for increased awareness of this group of disorders.

Abstract:
This chapter describes the effect of various activities on the heart and associated disorders. It details the echocardiographic findings of athlete’s heart and differential diagnosis. It considers pregnancy which induces several haemodynamic changes: increase in heart rate, stroke volume, cardiac output, and decrease in systemic vascular resistance. Several echocardiographic changes may also present in normal pregnancy and these must be recognized. Echocardiography should be performed in each pregnant woman with cardiac signs or symptoms to search for new cardiac disease occurring during pregnancy and especially peripartum cardiomyopathy. Pregnancy is well tolerated by most woman with cardiac disease. Pregnancy in contraindicated in woman with pulmonary hypertension. Although the heart is not the principal affected organ in systemic disease there is some involvement. This chapter also details the echo findings of a range of systemic diseases including amyloidosis, connective tissue disease, endocrine disease, and HIV.

Abstract:
Transplantation is the optimal treatment of end-stage dysfunction of many organs and can be life-saving. Despite increases in live donation and donation after circulatory death, donation after brain death remains the most important source of donor organs, and is currently the only source of thoracic organs in most countries. Brain death is associated with profound physiological changes including cardiovascular and respiratory changes, and severe metabolic and endocrine dysfunction that can jeopardize transplantable organ function. Although adequate time must be allowed for the proper confirmation of brain death, unnecessary delays should be avoided because the incidence of systemic complications that jeopardize transplantable organ function increases progressively with time. Aggressive donor management increases the number of potential donors who actually become donors, increases the total number of organs transplanted per donor, and improves transplantation outcomes. Various donor management strategies have been described and these are reviewed in this chapter.

Abstract:
Much research has focused on understanding why women are at increased risk of serious mental health symptoms during pregnancy and the postpartum. Although psychosocial stressors play a major role in perinatal psychiatric disorders, not every woman who experiences adverse psychosocial circumstances develops a major psychiatric illness during this time. As such, attention has focused on exploring how biological factors might impact the development of perinatal psychopathology. This chapter reviews biological changes during pregnancy and the postpartum that may contribute to the onset and/or exacerbation of psychiatric symptoms and disorders in the perinatal period. It discusses heritability and genetics research suggesting that some women may have a biological predisposition to developing psychopathology in the perinatal period. Then, the chapter focuses on pregnancy- and childbirth-related biological changes in sex hormones; the neurotransmitter, endocrine, and immune systems; and sleep that may be contributing biological factors in perinatal psychopathology for women at risk.

Full text
Abstract:
Memory and Attention Adaptation Training (MAAT) is a cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) designed to help cancer survivors self-manage and mitigate the late and long-term effects of cancer and cancer therapy on memory function. Cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) is a set of mild to moderate memory and attention impairments that can have an adverse influence on quality of life. CRCI symptoms tend to present during active treatment, but for some individuals cognitive changes can persist for years. While the exact prevalence of CRCI is unknown, review of the literature estimates that nearly half of all survivors may experience some form of CRCI. Causes of CRCI are multiple and are the subject of continued research. Chemotherapy, genetic vulnerability, neurovascular damage, inflammation, and hormonal/endocrine disruption have all been identified as candidate mechanisms of persistent cognitive change. Given the multiple causal mechanisms, finding a biomedical treatment for CRCI remains elusive. MAAT was developed as a CBT to help cancer survivors make adaptive behavioral and cognitive changes to improve performance in the valued activities that CRCI hinders. MAAT consists of eight visits and has been designed for administration through telehealth technology, improving access to the survivorship care that so many cancer survivors may lack after the time and expense of cancer treatment. Survivors can use this workbook to reinforce their in-session learning and continue to build adaptive coping.

Full text
Abstract:
Pregnant women experience a greater degree of sleep disturbance than their non-pregnant counterparts. Complaints range from sleep maintenance issues to excessive daytime sleepiness. Emerging evidence suggests that there is variability in sleep patterns and complaints which manifest differently among pregnant women. Moreover, it is well accepted that sleep disturbance can dysregulate normal immune and endocrine processes that are critically important to the health and progression of gestation. A possible consequence of sleep disturbance is an increased risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes. Then again, many endogenous and exogenous factors, including pregnancy-related physiological, hormonal, and anatomic changes, as well as lifestyle changes, can impact the degree and chronicity of sleep disturbance. Alas, there is still much to learn in terms of what women can/should expect with regard to the timing, degree, frequency, and/or severity of a specific pregnancy-related sleep disturbance(s), despite the number of published studies evaluating what sleep during pregnancy encompasses.

Abstract:
Obesity and obesity-associated metabolic disorders are highly associated with cardiovascular disease. Abnormal ectopic deposition and accumulation of adipose tissue in organs, including perivascular space (perivascular adipose tissue, PVAT) in obesity are emerging to contribute to vascular disease development through pathological paracrine and/or endocrine secretion of cytokines, namely adipokines, which are vasoactive factors including vascular relaxing and contracting factors, smooth muscle growth promoting and inhibiting factors, and pro- and anti-inflammatory factors. In obesity, production of these factors from PVAT is altered and in imbalance which favours vascular contraction, pathological remodelling, and inflammation. In cross-talk with the endothelium, the functional changes of adventitia and PVAT are detrimental and importantly contribute to the acceleration of vascular atherosclerosis and complications associated with obesity and metabolic disorders

Abstract:
This chapter describes the hormonal, metabolic, and inflammatory response to surgery—commonly known as the surgical stress response. The changes in protein, carbohydrate, and fat metabolism to provide fuel for oxidation are outlined as well as changes in salt and water metabolism. Psychological sequelae of fatigue and malaise are also common in patients undergoing surgery. Attenuating the metabolic and endocrine changes associated with surgery may reduce postoperative morbidity and expedite recovery; the choice of anaesthetic drugs and techniques (regional vs general anaesthesia) and the increasing use of laparoscopic surgery have all been used to try to achieve this objective. The most common metabolic disease which anaesthetists have to manage is diabetes mellitus (DM) and its pathophysiology and medical management, as well as that of the related metabolic syndrome are discussed. Adrenal tumours are rare but usually require surgical excision. Phaeochromocytomas present unique anaesthetic challenges, but pre-, intra-, and postoperatively in terms of fluid management and blood pressure control. Conn’s syndrome (primary hyperaldosteronism) can also result in hypertension and electrolyte disturbances. Cushing’s disease (glucocorticoid excess) presents with the clinical effects of steroid excess and many patients have concomitant DM. Finally, perioperative steroid supplementation for patients already taking steroids and undergoing surgery is discussed.

Abstract:
This chapter describes research on several commonly used analgesics that have been described as endocrine-disrupting chemicals, leading to concerns about possible interactions between therapeutic drugs and chemicals in the environment. Mild analgesics such as acetaminophen are widely used by pregnant women worldwide. In vitro, in vivo, and epidemiologic studies report that prenatal exposure to acetaminophen and other mild analgesics can cause hormonal disturbances resulting in gonadal development and male genital abnormalities, particularly cryptorchidism. These results suggest the potential for interaction between mild analgesics and environmental chemicals such as phthalates because they appear to disrupt similar hormonal signaling systems and cause common reproductive changes. Given the increased prevalence of prenatal exposure to phthalates and analgesics, these potential adverse effects should be taken into account when considering the risks and benefits of mild analgesic use during pregnancy.

It considers this notion specifically in relation to interoception, defined broadly as “sensitivity to stimuli arising inside the organism.” “Physiological arousal” is distinguished from “experienced arousal” and it is argued that both need to be characterized more broadly than commonly done. Physiological arousal cannot be reduced to sympathetic activation, as it involves complex interactions between multiple functionally distinct pathways within sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions of the autonomic nervous system, as well as endocrine and immune systems, and even the gut microbiota. Relatedly, experienced arousal does not reduce to the perception of changes in the body sensed by visceral afferents in response to autonomic nervous system activity but also includes humorally mediated interoceptive pathways, somatic sensations of various kinds, and “background” bodily feelings.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses the epigenetic mechanisms involved in individual variation in and persistence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Such mechanisms make it possible to trace vulnerability for PTSD to effects that predate development of PTSD. While some may be genetic in origin, others may involve parental stress occurring pre-conception, in utero changes in the maternal environment contributing to developmental programming, and childhood adversity, resulting in modifications of genes’ contribution to PTSD risk. The chapter discusses epigenetic alterations implicated in hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) function in PTSD that mark increased risk. Unlike the transient alterations in neural, endocrine, or immunological signals that follow exposure to trauma, certain epigenetic markers can be chemically stable over extended periods and can serve as a basis for understanding the persistence of PTSD symptoms. The chapter concludes with a discussion of how epigenetic modification may offer insights into future treatments for PTSD.

Abstract:
This chapter begins with an explanation of the pathophysiological correlations between the recorded changes and the underlying diagnosis which allow classification into demyelinating and axonal neuropathy. Demyelinating neuropathies are discussed first. The extensive and ever expanding literature in hereditary neuropathies is highlighted. The different variants of the acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy encountered in children are discussed along with the electrodiagnostic criteria for the diagnosis. Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy is then covered, both in its clinical presentation and electrodiagnosis. Other causes such as MNGIE and Lyme disease are highlighted. In the section on axonal neuropathy, division into hereditary and acquired is made. The diagnosis of sensorimotor hereditary neuropathies is discussed along with primarily sensory neuropathies including ataxia telangiectasia, Friedreich’s ataxia, and abetalipoproteinaemia, finishing with discussion of the hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathies. The many different causes of acquired axonal neuropathy are listed and discussed including neoplasia, endocrine disturbances, metabolic conditions, infective agents, autoimmune conditions, mitochondrial disease, drugs, and vitamin deficiency, finishing with critical illness neuromyopathy.

Abstract:
This chapter describes the categories of 300+ environmental chemicals measured in the blood and urine of Americans by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Some are endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and substitute for endogenous hormones in a variety of metabolic processes affecting sexual health, obesity, diabetes, and behavior. The Monotonic Dose-Response (linear dose-response) is inappropriate when evaluating the health consequences of EDCs. Nonmonotonic Dose-Response Curves are better for considering the affinity of the ligand for the receptor, receptor saturation, ligand specificity, and tissue specificity of the receptor distribution. These factors combine to explain why ambient levels of many environmental chemicals cause damage to tissues or development and why low-level exposures can create disease different from higher level exposures. Exposure during critical stages of fetal development may cause permanent changes not apparent until adulthood. Environmental chemicals that are not EDCs may harm by altering genetic material and causing apoptosis.

Abstract:
Fish, and other vertebrates, possess both a neural control system and a hormonal one dependent on the circulation. Fish hormones may be secreted by well-defined endocrine glands or by diffuse tissue and can have profound effects on the function of target tissues or organs which possess receptor molecules recognized by specific hormones. Some endocrine activities in fish are not relevant to mammals, and vice versa. Thus fish can have chromatophores controlled hormonally to change skin colour, the same hormones having different roles in mammals. Likewise, ‘prolactin’ in fish cannot regulate lactation. Individual endocrine glands, tissues and cells of fish are described in detail and the possible roles of their hormones are discussed. Fish endocrinology is becoming increasingly important with the realization of its potential applications in aquaculture and with the recognition of the consequences of pollutant endocrine disruption.

Abstract:
The placenta is a complex and changing organ necessary for normal fetal growth and development and for maintenance of a healthy pregnancy. It has three major functions: a protective function of the fetus, an endocrine function, and a metabolic function. The main functional unit of the placenta is the chorionic villous, responsible for the majority of the fetal–maternal exchanges. Migration of trophoblastic cells induces a remodelling of the uterine arteries, with vasodilatated and compliant vessels, unresponsive to maternal vasomotor control. Therefore, any significant change in maternal blood pressure, in particular in the context of general or regional anaesthesia, can directly impact on uteroplacental perfusion. Most anaesthetic drugs cross the placental barrier, but without significant consequences on the fetal well-being.

Abstract:
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common genetic autosomal recessive disease of the Caucasian race, generally leading to death in early adulthood.1 The frequency of the gene carrier (heterozygote) is 1:20–25 in Caucasian populations, 1:2000 in African-Americans, and practically non-existent in Asian populations. The disease occurs in about 1 in every 2500 life births of the white population. Mean survival has risen from 8.4 years in 1969 to 32 years in 2000 due to improvements in treatment. The genetic defect causes a pathological electrolyte transport through the cell membranes by a defective chloride channel membrane transport protein [cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)]. With respect to the function, this affects mainly the exocrine glands of secretory cells, sinuses, lungs, pancreas, liver, and the reproductive tract of the human body leading to a highly viscous, water-depleted secretion. The secretion cannot leave the glands and in consequence causes local inflammation and destruction of various organs. The main symptoms include chronic inflammatory pulmonary disease with a progressive loss of lung function, exocrine and sometimes endocrine pancreas insufficiency, and an excessive salt loss through the sweat glands.1 A summary of the signs and symptoms of CF will be given with a special emphasis on the effect of exercise performance and capacity.
