Synopsis

This straightforward and concise new textbook presents in-depth and scientifically accurate explanations of physiologic processes and pathophysiologic mechanisms. It relates the applications of this science to clinical practice, emphasizing the underlyingphysiology and establishing rationales for the prevention and treatment of disorders. Written by a single author, this textbook provides streamlined and internally consistent coverage of pathophysiology.Organizes the content into 2 major sections, each with its own consistent chapter format--foundational concepts which review the basic science and establish theoretical perspectives...and specific body systems which cover normal physiologic processes, common disorders, and the developmental perspective. Focus on Current Research features cutting-edge research on related topics. Developmental Perspectives address normal and abnormal variations across the life span for each body system. Clinical Scenarios challenge students to apply concepts to realistic cases. Over 630 illustrations, including approximately 50 full-colour photographs, depict complex physiologic and pathophysiologic processes and normal and abnormal conditions in hematology, ophthalmology, dermatology, and more. Provides a multitude of pedagogical features in every chapter, including chapter outlines, key terms in bold, learning objectives, a summary of key points, selected references, and bibliography lists.
