دانلود کتاب تیروئیدیت – تشخیص و مدیریت درمانی

Thyroiditis comprises a group of diseases that can present with strikingly similar symptoms. This frequently poses a diagnostic dilemma to uncover the exact etiol¬ogy. These patients may present with hyper- or hypothyroid symptoms with subtle differences depending on the etiology. A thorough history-taking and physical examination is the key to uncover these subtle differences. Thyroiditis represents about 20% of all thyroid diseases and is caused by several factors, most commonly autoimmune diseases. This authored book, in 16 chapters with 31 figures, and 36 tables, will provide a valuable source of knowledge and reference for all specialists and trainees entrusted with the care of patients suffering from thyroid disease. It addresses a wide range of topics including the anatomy, physiology, and investigations of the thyroid gland. It also discusses the etiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment strategy of the different forms of thyroiditis, which may be “autoimmune” such as Hashimoto’s disease, de Quervain’s subacute thyroiditis, Riedel’s fibrosing thyroiditis, or “non-autoimmune” such as acute suppurative thyroiditis, drug-induced thyroiditis, post¬operative necrotizing thyroiditis, or radiation thyroiditis. Finally, this book includes also a chapter summarizing the studies published recently related to surgical man¬agement of the different types (variants) of thyroiditis, including indications of sur¬gical intervention, type of surgery performed, and postoperative complications encountered. It is my collective hope that head and neck surgeons, maxillofacial surgeons, endocrinologists, oncologists, otolaryngologists, and clinicians of other specialties will find this book to be a useful and indispensable resource as they face the most challenging of thyroid gland disorders to help provide individual patients with the best possible outcome.
