    Summary: This second volume in the Food Policy series focuses on critical nutrition and dietetics studies, offering an innovative and interdisciplinary exploration of the complexities of the food supply and the actors in it through a new critical lens. The volume provides an overview of the growth of critical nutrition and dietetics since its inception in 2009, as well as commentary on its continuing relevance and its applicability in the fields of dietetic education, research, and practice. Chapters address key topics such as how to bring critical dietetics into conventional practice, applying critical diets in clinical practice, policy applications, and new perspectives on training and educating a critical nutrition and dietetic workforce. Contributing authors from around the globe also discuss the role of critical nutrition dietetics in industry, private practice, and consultancy, as well the role of critical dietetics in addressing the food, hunger, and health issues associated with the world economic crisis. The authors designed the volume to be a reference work for students enrolled in undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Critical Nutrition, Critical Food Studies, and Critical Dietetics. Each chapter offers concise aims and learning outcomes, as well as assignments for students and a concise chapter summary. These features enhance the value of the volume as a learning tool. .

    Recent studies of the structure and function of pituitary adenomas reveal that the majority are functional and that the commonest type is a prolactin secreting adenoma. Studies of hypothalamic-pituitary function provide evidence to suggest that the adenoma develops following prolonged hypothalamic stimulation of the pituitary gland, and that the clinical dyspituitarism is due to the hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction and not to pituitary destruction by the adenoma. Pituitary adenomas may be classified into those due to a basic neuroendocrine dysfunction (prolactin secreting, acromegaly, Cushing's disease) and those arising secondary to end-organ failure (TSH and FSH secreting). The former group have APUD characteristics and may form part of a pluriglandular syndrome of apudomas. The persistence of a basic neuroendocrine dysfunction following the surgical removal of an adenoma explains the frequent recurrence of symptoms in patients and indicates a need for continued surveillance and long-term therapy.
