Endocrinology is a very visual specialty. While, as always, a good and detailed history is essential, probably in no other specialisation other than perhaps dermatology is the physical appearance of patients more vital in coming to a correct diagnosis. Patients with Cushing's syndrome and acromegaly, in particular, have languished for years before the diagnosis was suspected and treatment instituted, and in many other areas recognition of clear clinical features is either ignored, missed, or misattributed. In diabetes, many of the changes over time, particularly those due to a variety of complications, require careful clinical inspection and recognition in order to initiate prompt and often life-saving interventions. Furthermore, both diabetes and endocrinology are increasingly dependent on accurate interpretation of radiological imaging, be it with ultrasound, CT scanning, MRI or radionuclide scanning. It is therefore of great importance that we focus on the visualisation of all aspects of endocrinology and diabetes, and their complications. It is in the light of these considerations, that these authors published their initial atlas some years ago, and it is due to the clear success of this project that I am now delighted to welcome a second edition. As before, it is very much based on the concept of a case-based approach, which has been shown to be an ideal manner to aid the trainee doctor and help educate even experienced clinicians in sharpening their clinical skills, and so assisting in patient management.
As I previously noted in my foreword to the first edition, it is especially fitting that this dual approach of teaching endocrinology and diabetes by highly visual techniques and case-based studies comes from the Christian Medical College in Vellore, as one of the most highly praised and accomplished medical centres in Tamil Nadu, India. With both a stellar national and indeed international reputation, the Department of Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism has put together a beautifully illustrated and highly instructive colour atlas, assisted by extensive collaboration with many other clinical departments. The illustrations remain outstanding, the text is clear and informative, and the success of the first edition implies that it has indeed been highly educative and useful.
I am delighted to introduce this new edition and, as originally suspected, it is indeed set to become a standard reference in Endocrinology and Diabetes.

Preface to the Second Edition
Half a decade has elapsed, and the world has transformed itself during this phase. Nevertheless, clinical endocrinology remains relevant. Creative and analytical thinking should perpetually be the foundation of clinical medicine. The role of visual stimulation in guiding our thought processes is essential to the means of analysis.
We continue to engender this process in the evolution of the second edition of our clinical atlas in endocrinology. A big thank you to the faculty and the residents who have managed these patients.
Dr Felix has continued to spread his academic visage to ensure that the book coruscates and vibrates with a tinge of novelty. Dr Mathews has worked many late hours to make sure that this compendium has reached fruition.
As your fingers slide between the pages, we hope that this time of learning will be enlightening and enrapturing.
Bonne Lecture!

Preface to the First Edition
Endocrinology is a specialty which encompasses a wide spectrum of disorders. Disorders of thyroid, diabetes, obesity, and osteoporosis involve nearly 30% of the population at a random time point in life. This book focuses on the need of the practicing clinician—whether primary care, physician, surgeon or Endocrine specialist to handle and identify endocrine problems.
I would like to thank and acknowledge the hard work and dedication that Dr Felix Jebasingh K has put into developing several areas of the book. I would like to also appreciate the multidisciplinary impact of several medical specialties across the board in supporting this endeavor.
Just as much this expedition is meant to aid in improving patient care, and support the academician in their learning endeavors, the case discussions and evaluations provided may have a long-term impact on learning processes.
Bonne Lecture!
Nihal Thomas
Acknowledgments
Endocrinology is a specialty which involves teamwork.
The multidisciplinary overlap between several clinical and non-clinical units is a strong feature of the subject. This book would not have been possible but for the strong academic links that the Department of Endocrinology shares with several other departments in the hospital. The care for patients is foundational for such a lucid output.
We would also like to thank Shri Jitendar P Vij (Group Chairman), Mr Ankit Vij (Managing Director), Mr MS Mani (Group President), Dr Richa Saxena (Associate Director, Professional Publishing), Ms Himani Pandey (Development Editor), Ms Seema Dogra (Cover Visualizer), and Production Team of Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers (P) Ltd, New Delhi, India.
