Product Description

Review

"The book does an excellent job of integrating basic science concepts with clinical medicine. Each of the organ system chapters reviews the normal anatomy, physiology and histology, then follows with the pathophysiology, clinical findings, and pathology of the more commonly encountered disorders. Additionally there are chapters on genetic diseases, immune diseases and neoplasia which similarly link basic science principles with clinical disease entities. Each chapter contains periodic "checkpoint" questions which guide the reader to the most important concepts. Each chapter also ends with several case studies with questions and discussions, similar to those encountered on board examinations." Doody's 20030103

Product Description

This concise review of pathophysiology presents each disease as disordered physiology. Organized by organ system, each chapter discusses normal structure and function, pathology, and disordered physiology, common clinical presentations and mechanisms underlying symptoms and signs.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews

just what I wanted 4 Aug 2011

By H. Burchell

Format:Paperback

looked for long time for a pathophysiology book that suited me and I found it here. So yeah maybe the pages are a little (very) thin and yeah it probably would benefit from being hardback but the actual content is just what I need right now. Im studying for a MSc Clinical Practitioner so the review of usual A/P is great and it covers the basic commonly encountered diseases in Primary Care (and other specialties). Can see this book being very well used and a great reference text.

Excellent Pathophysiology book 11 Dec 2004

By Purvesh R. Patel - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

This is an excellent pathophysiology book available in the market. I am right now preparing for my step 2 but I wish I would have used this book for my step 1. I have a decent score on my step 1 and I have taken the exam recently and I think if somebody masters this book they can rock the exam. This book gives excellent information regarding many diseases. I am trying to study this book right now with CMDT, which is also by the same author. Because CMDT is a very concise text book of IM it doesn't explain all the pathophysiology for a disease but this book has all the answers about the pathophysiology of a disease. And I think its a worth buying book for all the medical students, if you study this book little by little during preclinical years it will help you very much understand the IM in the clinical years. I was surprize to find some infornation which I was craving for since few years of my med school. You will even find pathophysilogy of very rare syndromes, as for example I was amazed when I read about X linked Hypophosphatemic rickets. If you are like me who wants to have explanation behind everything, get this book today, you wan't be disappointed.

Pathophysiology at its BEST 18 May 2001

By "safeeya1" - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

This incredible blend of Physiological and Pathological concepts beautifully integrates the two subjects. This book highlights the important concepts in various student friendly ways, utilising tables and diagrams that corresponds with the essential information given in the text. It is excellent for review and preparing for exams.
