This new edition includes material that can easily be downloaded to a PDA. Quick and easy to use for clinicians at the touch of a key, this title further incorporates the most up-to-date laboratory methods, techniques, and approaches for designing strategies and investigating the pathophysiology of bone and mineral metabolism. It presents current information in a succinct format that allows practitioners to find answers without delay or difficulty. *Brings together up-to-date bone and mineral metabolism methods in one easily, accessible volume *Provides a quick reference for bone and mineral disorders *Addresses problems likely to be seen at all ages, from the pre-term infant to the centenarian *Ideal for practicing physicians, residents, medical students, and researchers
