The Pituitary World News Podcast

This is the second podcasts from our series "You asked" where we answer a few questions posted in Pituitary World News over the last few weeks.  In today's first answer, Dr Blevins focuses on a question about pituitary pathology and labeling indexes shown in pituitary pathology reports.  The second answer deals with the long term effects of steroid treatment on the adrenal glands.

Our last podcast of this series of four on Growth Hormone touches on navigating through the processes of GH replacement, from screening through testing, the selection of the proper doses, and other important factors.

Our third podcast in this Growth Hormone replacement series of four covers the benefits you might expect from treatment.  Dr. Blevins also explains his views on the risks involved and touches on the risk/benefit issues related to treatment.

In this second podcast on GH deficiency, Dr. Blevins explains the clinical symptoms and signs of this disorder.

In this first of a series on Growth Hormone deficiency, Dr Lewis Blevins focuses on definition, diagnosis, and setting the stage for future podcasts on GH Deficiency.  The series will cover the clinical characteristics of the disorder, what happens when you treat it, and how you go about getting started on treatment.

This podcast focuses on fluid, electrolyte disorders and hyponatremia in a case of a patient with Diabetes Insipidus (DI).

Several months ago we published a survey on Diabetes Insipidus where we asked you to contribute your experiences.  In that survey, among other questions, we asked you what you wanted others to know about Diabetes Insipidus based on your experiences with the disorder and its particular treatments.  In this podcast Dr Blevins shares some of the responses.
