Endocrinology
AuthorsrnrnThe point of a medical textbook is to deliver clear and concise information on a specific field of medicine that is also clinically relevant. This new Crash Course Edition has been revised to focus more clearly on the topic of endocrinology and link the physiology to the disease processes in a more refined manner. The information on specific and highly relevant conditions, particularly diabetes, has been increased and the latest guidelines on management have been added. Other marked differences in this edition are also the removal of the excess of information on reproductive medicine and a change from MCQs and SAQs to the new Single Best Answer Questions, whichrnare becoming more widely used by medical schools.rnrnMy hope is that this book will be of use to those beginning their medical education for forming the knowledge base that they will need in medicine, while being a revision tool for those who are already further along in the process.rnrnRonan O’NeillrnrnAs a medical student, endocrinology can be a difficult subject to fathom. There are numerous intricate systems and often complex terminologies that have to be understood and retained when studying. I hope that this edition of Crash Course Endocrinology will provide you with a reliable, concise and readable source of information whether you’re new to the topic or you simply need some reassurance the night before your finals exam. Good luck!rnrnRichard MurphyrnrnFaculty AdvisorsrnrnWe live in exciting times in the world of diabetes and endocrinology. Our understanding of the diseases as well as our ability to manage the conditions have moved on enormously since the last edition of this book. Recent advances in the treatment of type 2 diabetes and the national guidelines around diabetes and endocrine conditions are all updated for this edition. With these developments and the limitations of space this edition concentrates on diabetes and endocrinology and old sections on pregnancy etc. have been dropped.rnrnThe two authors, both medical students, are to be congratulated on producing a guide to diabetes and endocrinology that should find a place on every medical and nursing students bookshelf. They have produced a book that provides not only informative text but also self-assessment questions to guide the learner.rnrnAftab AhmadrnPhilip Weston
