Paediatric Endocrinology

Management of Endocrine Disorders in Children and Adolescents

Herausgegeben: Dattani, Mehul; Maghnie, Mohamad

Beschreibung

Pediatric Endocrinology covers all of the main aspects of translational endocrinology and clinical practice, making it an ideal resource for both paediatricians and endocrinologists. The book emphasizes the newer translational aspects of the topics covered, as well as molecular advances in diagnosis and therapy, although clinical relevance, with a particular focus on evidence-based clinical management, remains paramount. Further, transitions from childhood to adolescence and adulthood are discussed wherever appropriate.

Written by a combination of respected and emerging experts in the field, this book is intended to serve as a major reference work for pediatric endocrinologists at all stages of their careers, as well as general pediatricians with an interest in endocrinology and diabetes, and endocrinologists in adult practice who may also treat children and adolescents.
The book is part of the SpringerReference program, which provides access to 'living editions' thatare constantly updated using a dynamic peer-review publishing process.

Professor Maghnie is a former President of the Italian Society for Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetology (ISPED, 2011-2015), former Chair of the European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology (ESPE) (2004-2008), a co-author of Yearbook of Pediatric Endocrinology (2004-2009), and former member of the ESPE Summer School Steering Committee (2010-2013). Professor Maghnie is currently the President of the European Achondroplasia Forum and the Coordinator of the Corporate Liaison Board of the ESPE. Professor Maghnie received national and international award of excellence in Pediatric Endocrinology including "Rina Balducci" Award of the Italian Society of Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetology (SIEDP/ISPED), "Georgio Kalaitzoglou Award of Excellence in Pediatric Endocrinology" from the Hellenic Society For Pediatric and Adolescent Endocrinology, Athens, and "Premio Cacciari" Award of Excellence in Pediatric Endocrinology" from the Italian Society of Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetology, Bologna 2023. Professor Maghnie's major research interests include growth disorders and their treatment and the management of pediatric pituitary disorders.
