The prevalence of hypertension is almost three times as high as that of diabetes mellitus type 2, with both conditions being major risk factors for stroke, ischemic heart disease, cardiac arrhythmias, and heart failure.  The exact prevalence of hypertension related to hormonal derangements (endocrine hypertension) is not known but estimated to affect less than 15% of hypertensive patients.  Recent scientific discoveries have increased the understanding of the pathophysiologic mechanisms of hypertension.  In Endocrine Hypertension, a renowned panel of experts provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art overview of this disorder, discussing when to assign an endocrine cause in one of  many conditions that may present with hypertension.   The first part of Endocrine Hypertension is dedicated to adrenal causes.  The second part of the volume concerns potential nonadrenal causes of hypertension, such as growth hormone excess or deficiency, primary hyperparathyroidism, vitamin D deficiency, testosterone deficiency, insulin resistance, obesity-associated hypertension, and the role of central mineralocorticoid receptors and cardiovascular disease. An important contribution to the literature, Endocrine Hypertension is an indispensable reference not only for endocrinologists, diabetologists, and adrenal investigators, but also for translational scientists and clinicians from cardiology, internal medicine, pediatrics, family medicine, geriatrics, urology, and reproductive medicine / gynecology.

Urinary incontinence is a significant health problem. Patients may come under the care of many different health professionals including family physicians/general practitioners, nurses, urologists, gynaecologists, physiotherapists, geriatricians, neurologists and rehabilitation specialists. It is recognized that the best outcomes are achieved by a multidisciplinary team approach especially with complex cases and in the elderly.There are many texts on urinary incontinence written for urology or urogynaecology specialists but relatively little work aimed at the level of primary care providers. We have assembled a team of clinicians who have a track record of multidisciplinary care of patients with incontinence. The authors regularly conduct multidisciplinary pelvic floor, aged care voiding dysfunction and neurourology, rehabilitation and transition care clinics in their institutions. The concepts of assessment and principles of management are illustrated in common case examples with input and practical tips from the different health disciplines at each point. There is a useful list of links to resources in print/electronic media and seminal papers at the end of each chapter for the reader for easy reference.The First Edition of our book was published in 2012 and whilst the key concepts and chapter plan remain relevant to the current clinical practice environment, the Second Edition incorporate important updated clinical practice changes and address gaps with inclusion of a new chapter on the Paediatric/adolescent patient.
