Endocrinology in art. Dedov I.I., Melnichenko G.A.

The book proposed to the attention of the reader is designed not only for specialists in the field of endocrinology-a doctor of any specialty, a medical student and a biologist will be interested in learning about the clinical manifestations of diseases of the endocrine system, so bright that their description has become an integral part of literary and picturesque works. The art critic and the art historian may be interesting what diseases have struck certain historical persons and how the dramatic moments of history are closely related to the level of medicine and healthcare organization. Many diseases depicted in the paintings and books are successfully treated at present, and in the near future such patients can be seen only in art books or read about them in old novels. I must say thank you to specialists in the field of healthcare for enormous work, which allowed to eliminate many of the most severe consequences of iodine deficiency and congenital hypothyroidism.

Medicine - truly the greatest of the arts, and where, if not in a book about art, we must remember this?
