Editorial Reviews

Book Description
Ideal for core courses in general pathophysiology

Product Description
Completely updated, with a new companion CD-ROM bound into the back, Pathophysiology for the Health Professions continues to present the essential concepts of disease processes. Intentionally not meant to be inclusive, this popular text focuses on major disorders and other selected disorders to provide a concise, easy-to-understand introduction to the fundamentals. Understanding this basic information enables students to apply that knowledge to other disorders that will be encountered in subsequent courses and clinical practice. * Challenge questions at the end of each review section transition the student from the normal anatomy and physiology into pathophysiology. * Thinkabout boxes are scattered throughout the text and include questions designed to alert students to important points that may have been missed. * Emergency treatment boxes summarize emergency treatment for an acute situation. * Basic diagnostic tests and treatments are included for each of the major disorders to provide awareness of the impact of certain diseases on a patient and the individualized care that may be needed. * Each chapter begins with a set of learning objectives and concludes with a brief bulleted summary plus a short series of study questions.

This review is from: Pathophysiology for the Health-Related Professions (Paperback)

The book is set up much like the show, its language is so simple to understand, i recommanded this book for most of all health professions who really want to get pathophysiological concepts and understanding. in this book author described all chapters very clearly and understandably. its also useful for medical students. most attractive thing in this book is diagrametical explaination, which is most important for getting idea about altered condition in diseases.i also recomanded this book for pharmacy students who want to clear concepts in pathophysiological subject.
