Recenzii
The book covers approaches and treatment options to address thyroid and parathyroid diseases in the pediatric population from both a surgical and endocrine framework. It also provides a perspective from patient families and other healthcare providers involved in taking care of a child with these disorders. The book is written in simple language, which makes it easy to follow. It is small and portable. Each chapter is subdivided with information that is not overly detailed. The objectives are worthy and the book takes the time to compare the different diagnostic and therapeutic interventions that differ between the two populations. The authors have done a good job of covering all aspects of the subject; there were not any areas left uncovered. It is written for physicians in-training and anyone involved in providing care to the pediatric population. It would be best geared to students and resident physicians and would also be a good refresher for practicing physicians.
