Petit W. Jr., Adamec C. The Encyclopedia of Endocrine Diseases and Disorders

Facts On File, 2005. — 353 p.
In this volume, we have attempted to cover the gamut of endocrine diseases and disorders, ranging from the more common diseases, such as thyroid disease and diabetes, to the rarer medical problems. Our goal is to provide readers with a broad overview of the endocrine system, illustrating how the endocrine glands function when they work normally as well as describing what happens when the endocrine glands malfunction and discussing what can be done in the case of the latter.
