- Provides full-color, state-of-the-art coverage of key topics such as acute thyrotoxicosis and thyroid storm, ocular emergencies in Graves"" ophthalmopathy, diabetic ketoacidosis, hypopituitarism, postoperative thyroid surgical emergencies, pheochromocytoma, and much more.
- Features separate chapters on emergencies related to neuroendocrine tumors, pregnant patients, and pediatric patients.
- Includes sections on emergency overview, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment in each chapter.
- Enhanced eBook version included with purchase. Your enhanced eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references from the book on a variety of devices.
