T2  - Pediatric Endocrinology and Inborn Errors of Metabolism, 2e
AB  - This  book  is  designed  as  a  source  of  practical  information  for  the  diagnosis  and  management  of  pediatric  patients  with  endocrine  diseases  and  inborn  errors  of  metabolism.  From  its  conception,  Pediatric  Endocrinology  and  Inborn  Errors  of  Metabolism  (PEIEM)  was  created  with  this  dual  purpose:  to  be  both  a  comprehensive,  clinically-focused  medical  reference  for  a  broad  audience  from  specialist  nurses  and  general  physicians  to  specialists  in  each  discipline,  and  to  be  an  information  bridge  providing  inroads  into  the  fundamental  concepts  of  the  two  interrelated  disciplines.  The  contributors  and  editorial  team  strove  to  make  the  chapters  on  inborn  errors  approachable  by  endocrinologists  and  the  endocrine  chapters  approachable  by  metabolic  specialists  through  what  became  the  underlying  precept  of  the  textbook—explanation,  not  simplification.  Following  this  paradigm,  chapters  first  elucidate  the  mechanisms  underlying  a  disorder  and  how  they  relate  to  the  corresponding  phenotypes  through  clinically  relevant  discussions  of  genetics  and  pathophysiology,  thus  framing  the  basis  of  disease;  and  second,  provide  complete  and  detailed  discussions  of  clinical  features,  laboratory  evaluations,  treatment  modalities,  and  follow-up  management.  Rather  than  simply  listing  signs  and  symptoms  under  the  assumption  that  their  occurrence  within  a  disorder  is  always  self-explanatory,  PEIEM  explains  through  the  pathophysiology  why  and  how  these  manifestations  occur  and  how  they  can  be  approached,  modified,  or  prevented.  As  a  result  of  this  step-wise  approach,  we  hope  that  medical  professionals  at  any  level  involved  in  caring  for  endocrine  and  metabolic  patients  will  find  this  textbook  a  useful  and  comprehensive  resource.
