In the past five years, so much additional progress has been made
in ourunderstanding of both the basic and c1inical aspects of a
wide variety of thyroid disorders that a second edition of Diseases
of the Thyroid was considered a necessary addition to the Contem
porary Endocrinology series. Fresh perspectives also seemed
warranted, so we recruited new authors for many of the chapters and
believe that this edition will provide the reader with further
insights into the pathophysiology and c1inical presentation and
treatment of thyroid disease. It inc1udes topics ranging from
neonatal thyroid screening, thyroid dysfunction during infancy and
childhood, peripartum thyroid disorders, thyroid disease in the
elderly, and the c1inical relevance of the sodiurnliodide symporter
(NIS) to the pathogenesis and treatment of nodular goiter, thyroid
cancer, thyrotoxicosis, and hypothyroidism. The worldwide problem
of iodine deficiency and its eradication is also discussed, along
with environmental goitrogens and iodine-induced thyroid disease. I
am indebted to all the contributors for their cooperation and
expertise in providing their chapters in an extremely timely
fashion, to Mr. Thomas Moore and Mr. Craig Adams from Humana Press
for their expert assistance, and to Ms. Christine Archung for
providing superb administrative assistance. Lewis E. Braverman, MD
