Andrea C. Gore, PhD, of the University of Texas in Austin, discusses her recent Journal of the Endocrine Society paper, which found that early-life exposure to a class of endocrine-disrupting chemicals called polychlorinated biphenyls – banned for decades but persistent in the environment — may lead to behavioral problems later in life.

Priyanka Majety, MD, discusses a new, FDA-approved wearable insulin-delivery patch that could potentially improve patients’ insulin adherence as well as their quality of life. Last summer, a wearable patch designed for mealtime insulin delivery (in lieu of traditional injections) received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, extending the patch’s wear time from three...
As much as we know today about the endocrine system and the effects it has on the body, there remains so much that we do not know. Discoveries are made every day, and our understanding of the endocrine system is always growing and changing. Serving patients to the best of an endocrinologist’s abilities means being aware of all the latest developments in endocrine research. This includes the newest and most complete information concerning such endocrinology research topics as new treatments and new methods for disease prevention. Identifying symptoms and making the connections between those symptoms and endocrine disease can lead to greater understanding and ultimately better treatment for patients. More advanced prevention techniques can help patients stave off disease before it can impact their lives. Having the most current information can make a tremendous difference in the quality of life for your patients.
This section features some of the most current and forward-looking articles concerning the latest research in endocrinology. Written by and for endocrinologists, these articles are provided to keep you up to date with the most relevant developments in the field of endocrinology. You can access the information you need about new technology, new treatments and general information to help you serve your patients with better overall care. Our understanding of the endocrine system is always evolving. With Endocrine News, you can ensure that your knowledge of the field won’t be left behind. What’s more, your patients will always have access to the most advanced information out there.
