Yearbook of Pediatric Endocrinology 2012

Meer over het boek

The body of knowledge in medical specialties is rapidly expanding, making it challenging to keep up with advances in clinical and basic sciences. This is especially true in pediatric endocrinology, which intersects pediatrics, endocrinology, development, and genetics. The Yearbook of Pediatric Endocrinology 2012 provides abstracts of articles highlighting breakthrough developments in basic sciences and evidence-based clinical research relevant to the field. It serves to keep clinicians, scientists, pediatric endocrinologists, pediatricians, and endocrinologists informed about new advancements. Twelve Associate Editors and their co-authors selected the most meaningful papers from thousands published, summarizing them and providing contextual comments. The selected papers cover new genes involved in diseases, new hormones, revised concepts, significant clinical observations, large-scale trials, new mechanisms, paradigms, and important review articles. The Yearbook is endorsed by the European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology (ESPE) and is published in conjunction with the ESPE's annual meeting. It encompasses medical and scientific literature from June 2011 to May 2012.
