SERIES EDITOR FOREWORD

Many students study medicine through an integrated curriculum. These courses blend basic science with exposure to clinical medicine from an early stage. These students have the good fortune to be left in no doubt, from the outset, why they are studying medicine. I teach in a medical school that delivers a fully integrated cur­riculum and I can compare it with the traditional model according to which I received my early medical educa­tion. That com parison is very favourable.
Unlike many other texts, the Systems of the Body series
has been designed very specifically to sup port an inte­grated approach to learning medicine. Our carefully selected panel of authors drawn from across the English­speaking world have combined basic sci ence with clinical application. Links to clinical skills, clinical inves­tigation and therapeutics are made clear throughout.
The aim is to offer highly accessible guidance for all student types and stages. It will be invaluable to those who are approaching the subject for the first time or who may have found a topic challenging when using other more traditionally configured resources – as well as greatly assist all students wishing to excel as their course
progresses. The clear layout and writing style, together with detail that informs without overwhelming, go a long way to supporting students. It may also provide welcome reminders to postgraduates facing their own examinations.
Whatever curriculum you follow, wherever you
are in the world, and whichever stage you are at, we know that the Systems of the Body volumes will serve as great places to start when learning something new and enable you to effectively piece together the essential components of each major body system, in a modern clinical context.
Good luck!

PREFACE

Endocrinology is really very simple. You can either have too much of a hormone … or too little.
(Professor John Landon’s traditional
and reassuring introduction to his
endocrinology teaching.)
The first edition of this book was aimed primarily at medical students, particularly those taking a modern, integrated course. The second edition was enlarged and expanded to include more detail of physiological and biochemical mechanisms. This third edition has been revised and fully updated. We hope that this edition will be used by students of the biomedical sciences as well as medical students.
The book is intended as a broad general introduction to the Endocrine System, although we hope that you will be sufficiently enthused after reading it to wish to take your studies further in this exciting and fast- moving area.
Each chapter is structured around clinical cases. Endocrinology is at its most interesting when considered in the context of what happens when things go wrong. These cases have been chosen to illustrate important points about either the biochemistry of hormone synthe­sis or the physiology of endocrine regulation. This will
allow medical students early in their studies to under­stand the clinical relevance of the basic science. However, we hope that the book will also allow clinical students to understand the basic science underlying endocrine disease.
In the clinical cases featured in this book we have tried to show common presentations of the different disorders, but endocrine problems present in such a wide variety of ways that students should not be misled into thinking that these are the only presentations!
The ‘Interesting facts’ we included in the first edition have been added to. These are snippets of information that particularly interested us and that we wanted to share with you. We hope that you will find them interest­ing too.
The first two chapters are not case- based; these con­tain details of the basic concepts needed to understand hormones and their actions. The final chapter describes a mixture of hormones and other signalling molecules with varying degrees of clinical importance. This chapter illustrates perfectly the idea that endocrinology is rather more than a stand- alone speciality, but, rather, it is a sub­ject which impinges on the cardiovascular system, the immune system, and all other systems of the body.
We do hope that we have managed to convey to you our enthusiasm for this most fascinating subject.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

We are most grateful to all our colleagues for their help and advice in the preparation of this book. In particu­lar, we would like to thank: Dr Dan Berney for provid­ing the histology, Dr Norbert Avril for the whole- body
glucose image, and Dr Alistair Chesser for the EPO case. Although many colleagues have helped and advised us, all errors remain our own. Thanks are due also to the team at Elsevier.
