Description
This is a concise, pocket-sized, economy textbook covering the whole field of endocrinology but focusing on common problems encountered in clinical practice. In addition to serving as a colorful aide-mémoire, this book also supports individual patient care and management through a structured and practical problem-solving approach. The contents are explained and interfaced with easy-to-follow schematic diagrams, illustrations, summarized flowcharts and tables.
As a pocket synopsis of clinical endocrinology, the book offers a practical guide to clinical investigation. Through reinforcement of comprehension, it will supplement large major reference textbooks and lecture series and thus appeal to a broad readership across the developed and developing world .
