preface
I am pleased to present this second volume of Endocrine Essentials,
a work that reviews the recent clinical research on some of the
most common clinical endocrinology topics that primary care
clinicians, endocrinologists and other clinicians grapple with in
the clinic. Tese topics include osteoporosis, calcium disorders,
diabetes management, subclinical thyroid dysfunction, lipid
disorders and selected areas in men’s and women’s health.
Each chapter is based on a talk given at the Endocrine Society’s
Annual Scientifc Meeting in 2010 or 2011. Te chapter synthesizes
the most recent clinical research into practical approaches to the
management of common endocrinology disorders. Te chapters
contain a succinct review of a topic and case-based questions and
answers. Each chapter also includes a multiple choice question
written in the format of questions used in the American Board of
Internal Medicine exam. Te content of each chapter will be useful
for busy clinicians who want a rational, evidence-based approach
to the clinical dilemmas that they face in the clinic and for those
clinicians preparing for board examinations in internal medicine
or endocrinology.
I hope that you enjoy reading this book and applying the principles
in it to the care of your patients!
