A Photographic Quiz in Medicine

This particular edition is edited by Dr. Maurice Scanlon of Cardiff, a well-known figure in the field, and provides a reasonably comprehensive update of recent progress in neuroendocrinology. Among the chapter topics are the investigation of hypothalmic pituitary disease, current approaches to radiology of the region and medical and surgical management of pituitary adenomas. There is also a chapter on hyperprolactinaemia. The physiology and pathophysiology of gonadotrophin releasing hormone, corticotrophin releasing factor and growth hormone releasing factor and their clinical use are also covered, but it is not surprising that already these review chapters are being left behind by the current explosion of literature on these particular topics.
