Applied Endocrine Physiology
The endocrine system influences almost every system in the human body, from metabolic functions to growth, development, puberty, reproduction, and the body's response to stress. Its main purpose, however, is to control homeostasis throughout the body in response to changes in external and internal environment. This course describes the components of the endocrine system including the endocrine glands and hormones. It also discusses endocrine pathology and identifies feedback loops within the endocrine system. (60 minutes)

Diabetes Insipidus and Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone Secretion
Diabetes insipidus (DI) and syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) are endocrine disorders that result from a disruption in the fluid-regulating activity of the antidiuretic hormone (ADH). Both disorders lead to fluid and electrolyte abnormalities and associated neurologic dysfunction. (44 minutes)

Endocrine Assessment
Some endocrine disorders are life threatening, whereas others are subtle and difficult to detect. Conducting a proper endocrine assessment entails obtaining a thorough health history, recognizing the symptoms that indicate endocrine dysfunction, and conducting a knowledgeable physical examination. There are also a wide variety of laboratory tests, including ADH, thyroid, and parathyroid tests, to help identify what endocrine problem exists. (61 minutes)

Thyroid Abnormalities
The goal of this course is to prepare you to deal with the complexities encountered when caring for the patient with hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism (thyrotoxicosis) is a term encompassing a variety of disorders of the thyroid gland. These disorders are characterized by elevated levels of thyroid hormones, resulting in signs and symptoms of an elevated metabolic rate. Hyperthyroidism is most common between the ages of 20 and 40, and it is experienced by women more than men. After describing the normal anatomy and physiology of the thyroid gland, this course explains the etiology of hyperthyroidism and how to assess the patient with hyperthyroidism. (66 minutes)

Thyroid Dysfunction
This course describes the conditions of hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism and the extreme disorders related to them: thyrotoxic crisis (also called thyroid storm) and maxedema coma. These disorders are rare, but they may be seen in the critical care arena, and they require rapid assessment and intervention for successful patient outcomes. (51 minutes)

Understanding Acute Adrenal Insufficiency
This course introduces acute adrenal insufficiency, one of the most challenging disorders involving the endocrine system. Patients with this disorder are often admitted for unrelated problems and develop adrenal crisis as a complication of the other system disorders. This course describes the causes, characteristics, interventions, and patient education for adrenal insufficiency. (52 minutes)
