A full-color case-based review of the essentials of pathophysiology
covering all major organs and systems More than 130 case studies
with Q&A The goal of this trusted text is to introduce you to
clinical medicine by reviewing the pathophysiologic basis of 132
diseases (and associated signs and symptoms) commonly encountered
in medical practice. The authors, all experts in their respective
fields, have provided a concise review of relevant normal structure
and function of each body system, followed by a description of the
pathophysiologic mechanisms that underlie several common diseases
related to that system. The accessible presentation features
high-quality full-color illustrations, and numerous tables and
diagrams. Each chapter of Pathophysiology of Disease concludes with
a collection of case studies and questions designed to test your
understanding of the pathophysiology of each clinical entity
discussed. These case studies allow you to apply your knowledge to
specific clinical situations. Detailed answers to each case study
question are provided at the end of the book. This unique
interweaving of physiological and pathological concepts will put
you on the path toward thinking about signs and symptoms in terms
of their pathophysiologic basis, giving you an understanding of the
"why" behind illness and treatment. HERE ARE SOME OF THE MANY
