Foreword
The book Clinical Cases in Endocrinology edited by Professor Pramila Kalra
is a laudable initiative. The book has a clinical approach which makes it very
easy for practicing clinicians to understand and appreciate the intricacies
of diagnosis and management of complex endocrine diseases. A unique
feature of the book is that, the authors across the country, who are young,
enthusiastic and have an evidence-based approach to endocrinology. The
approach and investigation and discussion of the cases are highly relevant to
our country taking into view the infrastructure and the accessibility for these
investigations. The frequently ask questions (FAQs) in each case is pragmatic
and simple.
Overall the Clinical Cases in Endocrinology is a fresh and scientific
approach to endocrine cases as endocrinology should be practiced. The
book will be of great help to postgraduates and medical students interested
in endocrinology to learn the skills of management of endocrine cases. I hope
physicians will make use of the knowledge and experience imbibed in this
book by the authors, to improve their skills in the management of endocrine
cases in future.
