Description

"Pescovitz and Eugster, both affiliated with the Section for Pediatric Endocrinology/Diabetology at Indiana University School of Medicine, provide essential information on the mechanisms, diagnosis, and management of pediatric endocrine disorders. Aspects of human development and physiology are combined with information on etiology, diagnosis, and treatment. Within each of the traditional endocrine systems, contemporary molecular genetics and developmental endocrinology are presented, followed by material on specific clinical disorders and therapeutic strategies. Interspersed throughout the book are chapters devoted to emerging issues such as childhood obesity, short stature, and treatment of children with disorders of sexual differentiation. B&w photos and diagnostic images are included. Annotation : 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)"--[source inconnue].
