Product Details

Product Description

Book Description

UNDERSTANDING PATHOPHYSIOLOGY is a thorough, well-written text, providing the basic concepts of pathophysiology and the most current treatment of human disease in an easy-to-read, consistent format. It explains clearly why changes in cells and organs occur and how these changes are related to the clinical manifestations of disease. The book is divided into two parts. Part I presents the concepts of cellular structure, communication, injury and repair and discusses the influence of environment and the role of genetics in the development of disease. Part II provides an overview of normal anatomy and physiology for comparison and then relates the specific symptoms and most common diseases of each body system.

1.0 out of 5 stars Analyze this, Feb 21 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Understanding Pathophysiology with CDROM (Paperback)
Rather than giving my opinion on this book, I would like to quote a typical paragraph. If you like it, you will probably like the book, but if you don't, you probably won't:

"An altered level of arousal (awareness) with acute onset may be caused by various factors (i.e. structural arousal alteration, metabolic arousal alteration, psychogenic arousal alteration). Structural causes are divided according to whether the original location of the pathologic condition is above or below the tentorial plate. Pathologic processes include infectious, vascular, neoplastic, traumatic, congenital (developmental), degenerative, polygenic, and metabolic causes. Metabolic causes are further divided into hypoxia, electrolyte disturbances, hypoglycemia, drugs, and toxins (both endogenous and exogenous). All the systemic diseases that eventually produce nervous system dysfunction are part of this metabolic category. Alterations in arousal range from slight drowsiness to coma" (page 356).

1.0 out of 5 stars Graduate nursing student, Feb 11 2003
This review is from: Understanding Pathophysiology with CDROM (Paperback)
Of all books that I read in undergraduate and graduate schools this one is the winner in dullness and difficulty reading. Instead of presenting already complex topics in more comprehansible way, this book just makes matters worse. If you are a student and this book is a requirement, well- good luck. If you are instructor- read this book before you make it a requirement. The only way this book may be a worthwhile to read if you are planning to write pathophysiology book and want to know what writing style to avoid.

2.0 out of 5 stars good info, bad organization, May 19 2002
This review is from: Understanding Pathophysiology with CDROM (Paperback)
The information in this book is great, but the organization and editing is horrid. I would be reading along and the text would wander off onto other subjects and eventually drift back to where it started.

If you have to have this book, try and find another one that makes more sense to your head if this one doesn't.
