MoreThe updated handbook of
Paediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes is a comprehensive pocket-sized guide of areas of endocrinology and diabetes that clinicians are likely to encounter. Chapters are divided up into those that reflect a clinical problem (e.g. short stature, pubertal disorders, late effects, and obesity), a particular endocrine gland (e.g. adrenal and thyroid glands), plus chapters on endocrine testing and also management of endocrine emergencies. These are all set out in a logical and easily readable fashion; where appropriate, background embryology, anatomy, and physiology are provided, along with differential diagnosis, investigation, and also management, including tips gleaned over decades of clinical experience. The handbook is written for a broad clinical readership including students, doctors in training, and established consultants as well as nurses and allied health professionals.
