Originally published in 1981 by Abt Books, this book examines the determinants of nursing home operating costs in several geographic areas and at several points in time in order to provide an improved understanding of cost factors in nursing home care. Examination of cost reimbursement formulae now in use show that rate setting based on cost analyses is a desirable approach to addressing competing public goals. Concludes that public reimbursement based on cost information may appropriately differ from actual or predicted costs to encourage (or discourage) the supply of certain types of care.

Topics covered include diagnosis and management of thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal disorders, gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors, and much more.Practical and user-friendly, Endocrine Surgery Clerkship is the ideal, on-the-spot resource for medical students and practitioners seeking fast facts on diagnosis and management.

This book covers clinical management including diagnosis, localization and physiology, for a number of clinical diseases treated by endocrinologists and surgeons. Following each chapter there is a 3-4 page biographical sketch of the person behind the clinical endocrinopathy, whose name is closely associated with the disease. The field of endocrine surgery is rich in history and this is the first text to bring together in one place the person behind the disease and the pioneers of the field. The text covers both the current management of endocrine surgical diseases, and also provides a historical background by highlighting the person in whom these discoveries were named after.Surgical Endocrinopathies is of great value to endocrine surgeons, ENT surgeons, endocrinologists, internal medicine and medical historians.
