Product Description
Disorders of the thyroid gland are common, affecting some 200 millionpeople worldwide.
Aimed at patients with thyroid disease and their relatives, this book offers an authoritative account of the symptoms, causes and treatments of the various ailments of the gland. The book is well structured and readers will easily find the relevant material for their individual problem--from the initial tests carried out in diagnosis to the long-term treatment of the illness.
An excellent glossary includes explanations of terms used, drugs and patient support organisations. The photographs, simple diagrams and patient accounts all contribute towards making the book more reader friendly.
Written by two leading consultants in this field, the publication is detailed and covers a wide range of material. Its primary purpose is to inform patients, who the authors believe have fewer fears when given knowledge about their condition and benefit greatly from that understanding. On the downside, the book contains many technical terms and perhaps goes deeper than some people would require. But for patients who want to be fully informed of their condition, this book is essential reading.
It could also prove useful for health care professionals who need to underpin their own knowledge of these conditions. --Carole Butterworth
Product Description
Disorders of the thyroid gland are common. Worldwide, some 200 million people have enlargement of this gland. As people with thyroid disease begin to know more about their disorder, they are able to cooperate better with treatment and their anxieties about the problem can be significantly reduced. This new edition has been revised and embraces the many important advances in the treatment of thyroid problems that have occured since the 2nd edition was published, providing information on all types of thyroid disorders. Aimed at patients, their friends, and relatives, it includes up-to-date, readable accounts of disorders of the thyroid and the treatments which are now available. Using the principles of evidence-based medicine, a number of 'best practice' protocols have been evolved for specific thyroid diseases in recent years, and these are featured throughout the book.
