Publisher's Synopsis
With some of the greatest advances in endocrinology being achieved as a direct result of close collaboration between basic and clinical investigators, "Hormone Research" facilitates the interchange of ideas by placing findings at all levels and from all branches side by side in a single source. Original research papers provide a background of experimental data on the pathology, cytology, histology, biochemistry, pharmacology and regulation of hormones. This information is complemented by authoritative reports drawing on clinical experiences concerning the many diagnostic and therapeutic procedures and possibilities. In particular, such topical problems as growth, diabetes, sexual development and hormone-dependent cancers are covered in depth. As a bonus for subscribers, the journal also features frequent supplement issues.;This volume is based on the 4th International Symposium on Pediatric Andrology, held in Basel in November, 2000. The symposium focused on the "Undescended Testis" and examined the importance of a testicular biopsy and its impact on research in cryptorchidism.
