Endocrine Pathophysiology

This volume is designed to enable students to master the science and clinical applications of endocrine pathophysiology and develop the problem-solving skills needed for exams and clinical notations. It methodically explains the pathophysiology of the endocrine system and presents extended patient case studies that demonstrate the link between pathophysiological concepts and clinical reality. This problems-based approach seeks to prepare students to relate basic science to clinical medicine as emphasized in exams. Several clinical cases are presented in each chapter to illustrate various aspects of the pathophysiology of the gland system. As the cases unfold and evolve, the student should grasp the dynamic aspects of both the disease process and the effects of treatment. There are photographs, drawings, schematics, subheads, colour highlights and tables to aid in comprehension and review.
