Focused Issue: Endocrine Disorders

In this Translational Pediatrics issue, we focus on pediatric endocrinology in an effort to provide medical students, residents, primary care providers, and pediatric endocrinologists with numerous high-yield principles relevant to daily patient care and management. The topics covered span a broad array of clinical conditions across multiple age groups, ranging from infancy to young adulthood.

Focused Issue: Clinical Practice of Pediatric Sports Medicine edited by Dr. Dilip R. Patel
