• Guides clinicians on how to recognize, diagnose, and treat each condition using up-to-date diagnostic techniques and therapeutics.
  
• Provides full-color, state-of-the-art coverage of key topics such as acute thyrotoxicosis and thyroid storm, ocular emergencies in Graves’ ophthalmopathy, diabetic ketoacidosis, hypopituitarism, postoperative thyroid surgical emergencies, pheochromocytoma, and much more.
  
• Features separate chapters on emergencies related to neuroendocrine tumors, pregnant patients, and pediatric patients.
  
• Includes sections on emergency overview, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment in each chapter.
