I&#39;m a mother of twins. If one of the children get strep I&#39;m always concerned how long it can live on enviromental surfaces. I know that once on antibiotics for 24 to 48 hrs they are no longer contagious. But how long does it live on surfaces. Hard to keep up with babies.
Endocrinology is a complex study of the various hormones and their actions and disorders in the body. Glands are organs that make hormones. These are substances that help to control activities in the body and have several effects on the metabolism, reproduction, food absorption and utilization, growth and development etc.
Endocrinology is focused on the care and treatment of endocrine diseases. These fall into three categories, which are: 1  Tumors: Tumors in the glands, whether cancerous or benign, can cause hormone balance problems. 2  Gland hypersecretion: Occurs when a gland secretes too much of the hormone it is designed to create.
