The Second Edition of Pathophysiology offers a unique clinical approach that facilitates learningbyviewingpathophysiologyashealth care professionals do. Whereas a traditional systems-based approach impractically isolates diseases to a single body system, this textbook’s approach recognizeshowdiseaseaffectsmultiplesystems.Additionally, rather than coveringonly a limitednumber of diseases, aiming for rote memorizationof thekey factors in thosediseases, the clinical approach details themechanisms of disease. Bymastering the core concepts of alteredhuman function, students can apply adeeper understanding to a host of diseases, rather than trying tomemorize facts about specific conditions. Because students learn through application, they learn to think about pathophysiology the way they will need to in a clinical setting, byworking from symptoms to the cause, rather than theother wayaround. Eachchapterdiscussesclinicalmodels, enhancing the real- worldapplicationof thematerial. Features • NEW! Fully revised chapters arenowbroken intomodules, breaking complex information into smaller pieces andprovidingabuilding- block approach to thematerial. • NEW! Each chapter closeswithClinicalModels,whichapply the conceptual understandingof alteredhuman function to specific conditions, anddemonstrate thepractical clinical applicationof the knowledgegained throughout the chapter. • Clinical approachandorganization facilitateapplicationand retentionof key information. • Sophisticated full-color artprogram engages students and includesdetailed illustrationsof thehumanbody inhealthand disease. • Anapplicationexercise in the last chapter requires students toapply the complexpathophysiologic concepts that theyhave learned todiabetesmellitus, emphasizing thepractical natureof the material throughapplication. • FromTheLab : provides additional contenton relevant laboratory anddiagnostic information, includinguniqueaspectsof the lab test and lab results for students to consider. • Research : highlights newfindings anddemonstrates how research canbe incorporated into clinical practice. • Aconceptmap appears ineach chapter tovisually illustrate the important interrelationshipsof key concepts. • Expandedchapter case studies provide studentswith the opportunity toapply concepts and then to search the Internet for relevant journal articles andwebsites to confirm their predictions. • AdditionalStopandConsiderquestions within the chapter text stimulate classroomdiscussionabout important concepts and encourage students to thinkbeyond the informationpresented in thebook.
