      abstract = {Now in a revised and expanded third edition, this  case-based guide emphasizes the latest investigative  advances in both imaging and molecular diagnostics and new  treatment approaches for a wide variety of common and  complex endocrine conditions. Utilizing unique clinical  case histories, each main endocrine condition and disorder  is curated by a senior Section Editor with an introduction  to his or her area covering both physiology and  pathophysiology. This introductory chapter is followed by a  number of case histories written by invited experts and  designed to cover the important relevant pathophysiology,  following a consistent chapter format for ease of use,  including bulleted objectives, case presentations, review  of the diagnosis, lessons learned, and 3-5 multiple-choice  review questions. Section headings include the pituitary,  thyroid (overactivity, underactivity and cancer) and  parathyroid, adrenal disorders, metabolic bone disease,  type 2 diabetes, lipid abnormalities, obesity, and  pregnancy. Topics new to this edition include PCOS,  transgender medicine and the endocrine effects of viral  infections. With a focus on covering major parts of the  APDEM curriculum, A Case-Based Guide to Clinical  Endocrinology remains a tremendous resource for junior and  veteran clinicians alike. .},
