Présentation de l'éditeur

First published in 1924, 'Muir's Textbook of Pathology' has set a standard in this subject by linking the scientific aspects that underlie pathological processes, relating these to pathological changes specific to the various organ systems, and placing all in context for students of clinical medicine and surgery. Subsequent editions have retained this popular approach, while introducing novel concepts and taking into account the evolution in the teaching of general pathology that has occurred.

This fully-revised fourteenth edition will ensure that the title retains its pre-eminence in the field with a clearly defined and easy-to-follow structure, new photographs and explanatory line diagrams, all in full colour, and applicability to both systems-based and problem-based undergraduate courses. Focusing on core material without neglecting up-to-the-minute detail, this book is a key text for students, but also has significant appeal for pathology trainees.

Divided into two main sections, the text opens with a series of introductory chapters on the mechanisms of general pathology before moving on to a discussion of pathology in relation to specific body systems. The emphasis on the clinical application of pathology is enhanced in this new edition through the inclusion of clinical case studies that relate pathological mechanisms to patients, problems and prognoses. Useful directions for further study are suggested by the special study topics that appear in each chapter, while other 'reader-friendly' aids enhance the value of the text during revision.
