Endocrine Biomarkers: Clinical Aspects and Laboratory Determination covers all the pre-analytical variables that can affect test results, both in the clinic and laboratory. Biomarkers of endocrine and bone diseases are discussed from both clinical and laboratory perspectives, and the authors elaborate on the teamwork-based app+roach between the clinician and the laboratory professional in the diagnosis and management of endocrine and bone disorders. Discussions include test utilization, laboratory measurement methods, harmonization and standardization, interpretation of results, and reference intervals. Each chapter ends with a discussion of one or two relevant cases with shared opinions from both a clinician and a clinical chemist. Each chapter also includes a summary box outlining key points and common pitfalls in the use of specific disease biomarkers and tests.

"There is a need for an endocrine text that combines clinical endocrinology with appropriate use of the laboratory since endocrine practice so heavily relies on laboratory testing.This need has been met by this excellent concise well written and easily understandable text book.The format is particularly appealing incorporating endocrine pathophysiology with appropriate and judicious use of laboratory testing and analysis.
Intended for family physicians ,medical students,allied health practitioners and clinical chemists, it also provides a useful reference text for anyone interested in correctly assessing endocrine disease.Written by faculty primarily from the University of Calgary admirably led by Dr Hossein Sadrzadeh and Dr Gregory Kline. I endorse this book and look forward to continued updates as new hormone discoveries are made and new tests are developed. This book should allow us to adhere to the principle of ‘choosing wisely." --Robert G.

Dramatiese wisselwerking tussen 'n onderhandelaar en 'n skieter
“Ons het ’n gyselaarsituasie in Stellenbosch.” Blinde kol boei vanaf hierdie openingsin, met ’n spanningslyn wat deurgaans snaarstyf volgehou word. Dit is 2 Oktober 2025 en ’n man het sy pad ingeskiet in ’n dameskoshuis. Hy hou verskeie studente aan en kort-kort klap daar nog skote. Hy vra vir Karla Blanckenberg by die naam, wil spesifiek met háár praat.
Karla onthou dat die skieter, Altus, die seun is wat sy in 2019 oorreed het om nie van ’n dak af spring nie. Die storielyn wissel behendig en ongeforseerd tussen hierdie twee tydgleuwe, ook tussen die voorgeskiedenis van die skieter en dié van Karla.
Benewens die spanningsvolle gebeure, word daar sensitiewe dinge oopgeskryf, soos selfmutilasie. “Ink kan sê hoe sy voel. Maar bloed kan dit ’n ruk lank wegvat.” (p.156) Daar is ook Altus se obsessie met mooi meisies en seks wat hy voel dat hy verdien maar nie kry nie. Daar is baie bloedvergieting, maar Martin Steyn is ’n meester wat dit verteerbaar aanbied, selfs vir ’n redelike sensitiewe leser soos ekself.
Adjudant Karla Blanckenberg en haar spanlid, Adjudant Colin Menck, het verskyn in vroeëre boeke van hierdie skrywer, maar Blinde Kol kan op eie bene staan. Dit is ’n produk van Lapa Uitgewers.
'n Joernalis soek na 'n fonds op 'n roosplaas in Marokko, en ontbloot geheime
Om ’n laaste wens van haar pa te eerbiedig, vertrek Gemma na Marokko, en spesifiek na die roosplaas, Sangrose. Die Marokkaanse landskap daarheen word goed uitgebeeld en verklaar waarom Soet rose, donker geheime, deur Frenette van Wyk uitgegee is as ’n romanse in die Reis sub-genre. Die titel is ook goed gekies, want op die pragtige plaas met duisende roosbome, is daar beslis geheime opgesluit.
Gemma is ’n joernalis met ’n ondersoekende gees. Haar pogings om die geheime te ontbloot, bring haar in uiteindelik in konflik met die eienaar van die plaas, die wewenaar, Julien, terwyl daar vanuit die staanspoor ’n definitiewe aantrekking tussen hulle was.
Die storie herinner my sterk aan Daphne du Maurier se Rebecca, hoewel dit in verskillende tye en plekke afspeel. Dalk is dit die rosetuine, maar veral die antagonis, die hatige Mrs Danvers. In hierdie verhaal is dit Samira wat openlik vyandig is en soos ’n skim verskyn oral waar Gemma beweeg.
Soet rose, donker geheime is ’n publikasie van Lapa Uitgewers onder die Romanza druknaam.
Luke en Lilihanna is lank genoeg in ’n verhouding dat sy al ’n diamantring begin verwag. Drama sommer met die intrapslag: hy verlaat die prentjie op onbedagsame wyse en laat vir Lilihanna verslae agter. Die volgende man wat te voorskyn kom is die skatryk Sebastian. Ek het nie geweet wat om te maak met hierdie karakter nie. Is hy ’n gewillige held of ’n onwaarskynlike held? Of is die held dalk die fotograaf, Leo, met sy lang hare, sy motorfiets en sy byna rebelse aantreklikheid?
Voorkoms staan sentraal in die storielyn. Sebastian, wat ’n reeks haarsalonne en ’n holostiese spa besit waar oormaaksessies aan die orde van die dag is, verras met ’n stelling: “Liefde is die onwerklike opwelling van emosie wanneer jy onverwags daardie één sien, ongeag of hulle nou in aanddrag uitgevat is of in vodde.” (p.31)
Skrywer Beatrix Smith was ook nie haastig om al my vrae te beantwoord nie, en ek gaan dit net so aan lesers oorlaat om te bepaal wié Lilihanna se hart gaan steel. My bestemde beminde is ’n Romanza uit Lapa Uitgewers se stal.
