This brand new title in the Lecture Notes series covers
a core element of the medical school curriculum.
It presents the basic science needed to understand mechanisms of
disease and describes the clinical presentations of the disorders
associated with different glands, concluding with the relevant
investigations and management.
Focusing on conditions commonly encountered on the wards and in
exams, with key points to aid revision and recall, this new title
is perfect as a course companion and is the ideal revision tool for
medical students, specialist nurses, and doctors working on
endocrinology rotations. Lecture Notes: Endocrinology and
Diabetes is also essential for endocrinology trainees
approaching the new Knowledge Based Assessment (KBA).
