Description
Book SynopsisThe indispensable guide to all aspects of clinical care, the Oxford Handbook of Endocrinology and Diabetes has been fully updated for its fourth edition, providing comprehensive coverage of both disciplines in a practical and concise format. Featuring new chapters on transition in endocrinology and diabetes, practical nursing considerations, and the genetics of endocrinology, and expanded sections on inherited endocrine syndromes and MEN, it retains the clear organisation and layout for ease of reference as the previous edition over a broader range of topics. Combining authority, relevance, and reliability, this title includes new therapies and guidelines alongside ''clinical pearl'' and ''tricky situation'' boxes to aide readers in rare or complicated situations. This is the must-have guide for all trainees and specialist nurses in endocrinology and diabetes.
Trade ReviewI highly recommend this book, which is useful for subspecialty trainees to reference in day-to-day practice when they have certain clinical questions. Not only does the book do a great job of concisely organizing the extensive information related to endocrinologic disorders, but it also provides additional reading articles and guidelines for readers looking to comprehend and navigate the field of endocrinology. * Keunyoung Kim, MD(Rush University Medical Center), Doody's Listings *
Overall, this is an excellent, high quality and considering it is a handbook, it is quite in depth and would appeal to a wide number of healthcare professionals. * Dr Harry Brown, Glycosmedia *
This book is a useful reference text for diabetes and endocrinology that can be used in the day-to-day workplace. * BMA Medical Book Competition 2010 *
This is an excellent pocket guide for endocrine disorders. This edition has been extensively updated, providing a great resource for endocrinologists and non-endocrinologists alike. * Ronald N Cohen MD, University of Chicago Medical Center, Doody's Notes *
...this is an incredible resource with immense attention to detail...it is hugely valued by SpRs. The micro-details on genetics...impact of complementary medicine...specific aspects of perinatal care...reproductive etc etc...all fantastic...this book is at the highest level...no computer login required...it's cyber-attack proof, is sitting in my work bag and likely staying there... * Dr Andrew Solomon, FRCP, Consultant Physician Diabetes, Endocrinology and General (Internal) Medicine *
Review from previous edition Pleasingly the coverage in both endocrinology and diabetes is pretty comprehensive and is useful to be both junior and senior hospital staff as well as GPs. Even so, despite the excellent and good depth coverage, the book remains a portable and accessible volume. I used it in primary care both as a reference source, particularly trying to sort out a patient problem and reading for interest. Its readability and ability to get straight to the point were for me the highlights...There are also topics covered that you may not expect, for example near the end there is an excellent chapter on obesity which impacts on a great deal of everyday practice, all in all this is an excellent, well priced book which can be most useful in everyday clinical practice. * Dr Harry Brown *
