Description
In this book, the editors have collected together contributions from clinicians and clinical researchers from the United States, Canada and Europe and have presented a comprehensive and integrated account of this new and expanding sub-speciality within endocrinology. This volume seeks to guide the clinical endocrinologist and neurologist through the maze of research material so that an appreciation of the underlying functional problem can be made, together with practical advice in diagnosing and managing a wide variety of disorders.
