Klinische Endokrinologie: Ein Lehrbuch für Ärzte und Studierende

Because of the tremendous amount of data published in recent years on endocrinology, it is most difficult to obtain a thorough knowledge of the scientific developments in this field unless one has participated actively in experimental investigation. Dr. Jores has been active in experimentation on the various phases of glandular physiology and the application of this work to the clinic. His evaluation of the clinical aspects of glandular diseases is therefore based on a sound foundation of scientific principles. His textbook is constructed on the concepts developed recently in the laboratory and inherits little of the obsolete material which has been handed down in a routine manner for many years in textbooks on clinical endocrinology. The subjects are discussed systematically, concisely and thoroughly. Under the heading of each gland there is discussed in adequate detail the anatomy, physiology, pathology and clinical manifestations of the various glandular disorders and their treatment.
