Synopsis:
Designed for quick reference, this pocket-sized handbook presents evidence-based diagnostic and treatment recommendations for 40 endocrine diseases and summarizes the clinical trial data that are crucial in therapeutic decision-making. Chapters cover diseases in the eight major areas of endocrinology--hypothalamic-pituitary, thyroid, adrenal glands, bone metabolism, reproductive system, diabetes mellitus, metabolism, and endocrine malignancies. The authors present the key clinical facts about each disease and describe the major clinical trials on which current treatment recommendations are based. Synopses of trials follow a consistent format--study design, population, treatment regimens, and results. The book also includes appendices on endocrine drugs and normal reference values for laboratory tests.
