Recent developments in diabetes, problem of the thyroid nodule, discussion of triiodothyromine as the real thyroid hormone, pharmacologic uses of glucocorticoids, pathogenesis and prophylaxis of calcium containing renal stones, calcium homeostasis and parathyroid hormone radiommunoassay are the subjects of the articles and illustrate the scope of the symposium.
