Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an exhaustive study of the subject of General Pathology and Pathological Anatomy. Initially a single field of study, the advent of greater understanding and advanced techniques caused the subjects to be separated, with pathology focusing on internal derangements, and pathological anatomy concentrating on structural changes. Maintaining that a strictly structural view of pathology is incomplete, the author sets out a comprehensive overview that joins the two disciplines. The author posits that normal homeostasis requires a delicate balance of cellular and functional interactions and any alteration in this balance can lead to disease. A comprehensive study of pathological conditions necessitates exploration of both structural and functional origins and consequences of those conditions. The author argues that disregarding functional pathology leads to an incomplete picture of disease processes and a lack of understanding of the complex interplay between structure and function. To illustrate the necessity of combined study, the author addresses seasonal prevalence of certain diseases, which have been determined to be associated with increased microbial activity influenced by seasonal changes in temperature and moisture. The book also delves into the as-yet unexplained phenomena of geographical and racial distributions of disease, and the peculiarities of disease inheritance, suggesting that, in addition to environmental factors, an individual's susceptibility or immunity to particular diseases may be determined by genetic factors. The author accomplishes a cohesive and compelling argument for the merging of pathology and pathological anatomy, and advances the understanding of disease etiology and progression, arguing that neither structural nor functional pathology alone provides a complete insight into pathogenesis. This volume is a vital resource for medical students and practicing physicians, providing a comprehensive grounding in the field and a solid basis for further study and clinical practice.
