John Laycock – författare

Providing both MCQs and longer questions to test and challenge essential knowledge in endocrinology, this book has been written with the medical student in mind. The innovative questions integrate both the many recent advances and the new concepts in the physiological and clinical aspects of endocrinology. This approach encourages continuity between the physiology and pathophysiologyof endocrine disorders, which is vital in clinical practice. Questions and answers are a vitally important for revision and for exam practice. In this book, full answers are given to aid self-directed learning which is increasingly important in the changing medical curricula, and there are key references for further reading at the end of each chapter. Invaluable to medical students in their undergraduate years and through to fellowship exams, this book has been designed to be used on its own or as a complementary volume to the third edition of Essential Endocrinology also by Drs Laycock and Wise. John Laycock is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Physiology, Charing Cross and Westminster Medical school and Peter Wise is Consultant Endocrinologist in the Department of Endocrinology, also at Charing Cross Hospital, London.

This innovative textbook provides a readable, contemporary and fully integrated introduction to endocrine glands, their hormones and how their function relates to homeostasis. It explores the pathology of endocrine disease by relating the underpinning science through a wealth of clinical scenarios and examples. The book integrates basic and clinical aspects for a range of endocrine glands and their hormones and includes a number of specialist chapters that also address areas of intense research and clinical interest including the regulation of salt, appetite and endocrine-immune interactions.   Provides a fully-integrated, scientific and clinical introduction to endocrinology.Includes a wealth of colour illustrations to reinforce key concepts.Introduces clinical scenarios and  leading questions to engage interest and illustrate the relevance of  the underpinning science.Includes key references and suggestions for further reading at the end of each chapter.  Written by a highly respected and experienced author team this new textbook will prove invaluable to students needing an original, integrated introduction to the subject across a variety of disciplines including biomedical science, pharmacology , bioengineering and pre-clinical medicine.
