Description
Gain the in-depth understanding of pathophysiology you need to guide your patient care! Using a systems approach, Pathophysiology, 8th Edition, examines the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and treatment of diseases and disorders. The book begins with a review of normal anatomy and physiology, followed by pathophysiology and application of concepts to specific disorders. Each chapter includes a discussion of the disease processes and abnormalities that may occur, with a focus on the pathophysiologic concepts involved. Written by a team of expert contributors led by Jacquelyn Banasik, this text emphasizes the major pathophysiology concepts relevant to clinical practice while not overwhelming the reader with minute detail.- Clear, easy-to-read writing style emphasizes critical thinking, and includes many tables, boxes, and figures to highlight key content.- Thorough updates include information on the newest scientific findings and advances in treatment, more than 100 new figures for improved clarity, and more.- More than 1,000 full-color photos and illustrations help to clarify complex pathophysiological concepts.- Global Health Care boxes summarize topics such as COVID-19, HIV/AIDS, Ebola, tropical diseases, and more, with information on prevalence, mechanism of disease and transmission.- Pediatric and Older Adult Considerations boxes address age-related changes associated with specific body systems.- Useful learning resources include chapter outlines, bolded key terms, key questions, Key Points boxes, Clinical Judgment challenges, and chapter summaries.- NEW! Updated content throughout the book reflects the latest research and thinking in pathophysiology.
