Thyroid and Parathyroid Disorders in Children: A Practical Handbook

Editat de Pallavi Iyer, Herbert Chen
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 noi 2020
Thyroid and Parathyroid Disorders in Children: A Practical Handbook offers a focused and practical approach to diagnostic and therapeutic (both medical and surgical) interventions in management of thyroid and parathyroid diseases in children. It is divided into two sections: thyroid and parathyroid, with each section discussing the use of the laboratory testing and radiographic modalities in the study of these glands. This guides the reader to know the utility and limitations of the findings when approaching a child with these conditions. Written by international experts in the fields of pediatric endocrinology and endocrine surgery, it is ideal for trainees, practicing physicians and professionals who care for children with endocrine conditions.

Key Features
  • Discusses differences in recognition and management of thyroid and parathyroid disorders in children compared with adults, with both common and rare disorders described along with their medical and surgical treatment techniques.
  • Aids the practicing physicians, endocrinologists, trainees, and fellows in understanding the complex concepts in a practical way.
  • Fills the gap in the market for a much-needed book concentrated on endocrine neck diseases of childhood.

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.
