Recenzje

From the reviews:

"This is a very important reference text which should be in the library of every hospital department, including emergency wards and outpatients clinics. It is a concise, clearly written Vademecum, which gives quick information. Useful not only to students and house staff but also to all other personnel. ... The authors, especially the Slovak team, should be congratulated for assembling such a wealth of information. Note, the book is inexpensive." (PER - Pediatric Endocrinology Reviews, Vol. 1 (3), 2004)
