Principles of Gender-Specific Medicine de Marianne Legato J

Principles of Gender-Specific Medicine

Editat de Marianne Legato J
en Limba Engleză Hardback – dec 2009
The field of gender-specific medicine examines how normal human biology and physiology differ between men and women and how the diagnosis and treatment of disease differs as a function of gender. This revealing research covers various conditions that predominantly occur in men as well conditions that predominantly occur in women. Among the areas of greatest difference are cardiovascular disease, mood disorders, the immune system, lung cancer as a consequence of smoking, osteoporosis, diabetes, obesity, and infectious diseases.
The Second Edition of Principles of Gender-Specific Medicine focuses on the essentials of gender-specific medicine and the current study of sex and gender differences in human physiology and pathophysiology. New section editors, new chapter authors, and new chapters have been added to reflect the most up-to-date clinical research and practice.


  • Offers insight into how the gender-specific risks of one organ system’s disease affects the health of other organ systems
  • Outlines the sex-specific differences of normal anatomy and physiology
  • Illustrates the gender-specific features and quantifies "gender" and "sex" as risk factors across all major diseases
  • Qualifies and analyzes the results of new drug therapies designed with gender-specific differences in mind: ex, hormone therapy in men and women for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease
  • All chapters progress translationally from the basic science to the clinical applications of gender-specific therapies, drugs, or treatments
  • Sections on drug metabolism, aging, and meta-analysis of data incorporated into all disease-specific chapters

Recenzii

"As much as the first edition of Principles of Gender-Specific Medicine defined the field of sex and gender health a decade ago, this third edition redefines it taking into account the evolution and complexity of genomic, hormonal and immunological science of sex differences.  Marianne Legato uses an innovative approach to organizing cutting edge topics outside of the typical format of medical textbooks, which aids the reader in viewing the science in novel ways.  Even for those working in the field of sex and gender based medicine, there is so much to learn from this rich collection of experts and content. Thank you once again Marianne Legato!" --Alyson J. McGregor, MD, MA, FACEP , Director, Division of Sex and Gender in Emergency Medicine (SGEM), Director, Sex and Gender in Emergency Medicine (SGEM) Fellowship, Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine, Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University
"The name Marianne Legato has become almost synonymous with Gender and Sex-specific Medicine. She was founder and Editor-in Chief of the first scientific journal dedicated to this new science (and has recently founded a new journal – “Gender and the Genome”). She was and is Editor-in-Chief of the first textbook on Gender Medicine, which appears now in the present third edition and she has been a scout in promoting Gender Medicine throughout the world. Her books have been eye-openers for many of us and this new edition of Principles of Gender-Specific Medicine is again a breakthrough. It includes carefully chosen contributions from leading scholars, researchers and clinicians from all over the globe, who present the state-of-the-art in their respective fields. What "The Harrison" is for Internal Medicine, what "The Williams" is for Obstetrics and what the "The DSM-5" is for Psychiatry, "The Legato" is for Gender Medicine – an absolutely essential Must Have and Must Read for any professional who deals with the differences in physiology and pathophysiology between males and females." --Marek Glezerman, MD, Professor Emeritus of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Chairman of the Ethics Committee, Sackler School of Medicine, Tel Aviv University
"The new Principles of Gender-Specific Medicine, edited by Dr. Marianne Legato from Columbia University, is a compilation of the most up-to-date topics in sex and gender difference research.  The chapters cover the major genomic, cellular, molecular and whole body “hot” topics in the field.  In addition, there are innovative pieces such as “Robots and Gender” by Tatsuya Nomura. Get this book and keep it on your shelf as a ready reference for state-of-the-art research in sex and gender differences that will inspire current and future scientists for years to come." --Jane F. Reckelhoff, PhD, Billy S. Guyton Distinguished Professor, Chair, Department of Biochemistry, Director, Women's Health Research Center, Director, Research Development, Office of Research and Sponsored Programs, University of Mississippi Medical Center
