This book covers interesting and yet often challenging cases among adult
patients in a unique Question-Answer format. Simulating the bed-side
case discussions during the ward rounds, one question logically leads to
another question thereby generating curiosity and promoting
evidence-based medicine. Taking the readers through the entire spectrum
starting from etiology and pathophysiology to clinical presentation to
management principles, each question addresses one key aspect of the
disorder. Described in a very simple and lucid narrative, this book
ensures sound conceptual understanding while covering each topic
comprehensively. This volume covers important topics such as acromegaly,
Cushing syndrome, osteoporosis, hypercalcemia, pheochromocytoma,
hyperaldosteronism, thyroid disorders and diabetes in adult patients.
These cases are not only seen by endocrinologists, but are also managed
by internists, orthopedic surgeons, obstetricians and gynecologists.
Less common disorders such as adrenal disorders and androgen excess have
also been covered.
