The Endocrine System at a Glance provides a highly
illustrated and unambiguous introduction to the basic principles
and mechanisms of endocrinology and the key endocrine organs,
followed by sections on reproductive and metabolic endocrinology.
Clinical scenarios contextualise the basic science and illustrate
how endocrine conditions present, are diagnosed, and are treated on
the wards.
This third edition:
* Includes new material on basic diagnostic tests used in the
diagnosis of endocrine disorders
* Features new material on cancer and endocrinology
* Includes MCQs for each chapter
The Endocrine System at a Glance is ideal for all medical
students studying endocrinology and revising for final exams, as
well as preparing for clinical attachments. The book is also
suitable for those training in allied health professions and nurses
specialising in endocrinology.
