이 책의 특징

For nearly 40 years, the Primer on the Metabolic Bone Diseases and Disorders of Mineral Metabolism, a publication of the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR), has been the leading comprehensive reference on bone and mineral health. In this fully revised 10th Edition, Dr. John P. Bilezikian and an expert editorial team of 34 global leaders and more than 300 contributing authors provide unsurpassed coverage of bone biology and bone diseases in a manner readily accessible to students, basic and clinical scientists, and practitioners.

Offers the most accurate, up-to-date, evidence-based information on basic and clinical bone science including 27 new chapters and a new section on Metabolic Bone Issues in Orthopedics.

Presents cutting-edge research on mineral homeostasis, osteoporosis and other metabolic bone diseases, hormonal regulation, skeletal measurement technologies, and genetics

Includes highly relevant discussions that help readers link basic concepts to real-world issues, thus facilitating the translation of research into clinical practice

An ideal resource for endocrinologists, rheumatologists, gerontologists, orthopedic surgeons, fellows, and others working in fields related to bone health and disease
