Developed by a renowned group of international authors, this engaging, case-based title once again offers readers a wide range of thought-provoking case studies that reflect contemporary, challenging, hands-on clinical care.  Expanded and fully updated,  Endocrinology and Diabetes: A Problem Oriented Approach, 2nd Edition addresses the complete range of endocrinologic problems found in patient care, offering the reader a convenient and pointed way to solve clinical problems in a timely manner.  Due to its comprehensive coverage and practical focus, this title has developed a special place in the field of endocrinology and will again be of great interest to endocrinologists, diabetologists, internal medicine physicians, family physicians, fellows, and residents.

The enthusiastic reception and warm welcome of the first edition of this book was overwhelming and gratifying. Despite many standard texts that cover physiology and clinical aspects of endocrinology, this book found a special place because it focused on patient care and practical aspects of endocrine practice.

In the current volume we were fortunate to again have the honor of collaboration by international authors who pride themselves foremost as clinical endocrinologists. We hope our readers will find this updated, improved edition worthwhile, and use it for the benefit of their patients.
