Top Articles On Pediatric Osteology
The newborn infant, the young child, and the adolescent present unique challenges to the growing numbers of pediatricians who investigate the normal physiology, endocrinology, and cell and
molecular biology of bone and its clinical disorders. Across the Atlantic, the term pediatric osteologist has arisen to give such scientists and practitioners a name, while in North America, the Reviewer prefers to be called more simply, a Pediatric BoneHead (with all due apologies to the University of Rochester). Further, for those even more interested in the
developmental biology of bone, both at the basic investigative level as well as in deviant clinical expression of such processes, there is likely no single source available to date. Does Professor Schönau's tome fill the gap? Derived from a multiday symposium that was held in Germany in 1995, on issues relevant in pediatric bone metabolism, this book presents a series of loosely connected chapters written by the European and Canadian participants in the general area of their lecture at that symposium. Unfortunately, the excitement engendered by much of the new data presented herein is not transmitted in this book, and there has been no attempt to include the discussions following each lecture, which formed an integral part of the symposium.
