Through Dennis M. Styne
This compact , easy and simply written text , which is now in a revised and extended second edition , provides the most recent information on the evaluation and management of frequent problems and conditions in pediatric endocrinology .
The examination of endocrine physiology and its application to typical clinical practice will be beneficial to endocrinologists , pediatricians , family doctors , residents , fellows and medical students. As in the first edition, the text outlines the key signs and symptoms for diagnosing and treating pediatric endocrine disorders . This frequently saves practitioners time and helps them communicate with parents of children who have endocrine conditions in an informed manner.
The ideas discussed in the text are meant to cover the first ten headings in the content outline of the Sub-board of Pediatric Endocrinology of The American Board of Pediatrics , including among others disorders of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis , growth , calcium metabolism and bone , the thyroid gland , puberty and the adrenal gland .
Each chapter ends with a section titled “Suggested Reading” that points the reader toward noteworthy , in-depth books , manuscripts and websites that provide further information . Pediatric Endocrinology , Second Edition is a practical and user-friendly resource that guides the reader toward a more focused objective of what should be done rather than just providing a checklist of everything that may be done .
