Mosby Editorial Review: Product 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. Features: * Discussion of specific diseases is presented in a consistent and logical format: Epidemiology, Pathophysiology, Clinical Manifestations, Evaluation and Treatment. * Quick Check questions follow each major section to aid students reflect on what they have read and test their comprehension of the material. * Health Alert boxes cover a broad range of topics and present brief discussions of new biologic research, diagnostic studies, preventative care, treatments, or other developments related to health or specific diseases. New to this edition: * Beautiful new full-color design, with over 750 illustrations, the majority in full color, helps simplify complex concepts for students. * New chapter - Cancer in Children, separates the information previously contained with the adult content and provides more in-depth information on childhood cancer and cancer treatments. * Significant content updates in emerging areas of research - cancer, immunology (HIV/AIDS), genetics, cardiovascular disorders, neurologic disorders, and endocrinology. * More algorithms added throughout the book so all major diseases and disease processes are illustrated clearly. List of algorithms with page references will be included inside the front cover. * Health Alert boxes cover a broad range of topics and present brief discussion of new biologic research, diagnostic studies, preventative care, treatments, or other developments related to health or specific diseases. * Quick Check questions throughout chapter rewritten to promote critical thinking; many changed from ?what? to ?why? questions. * FREE CD Companion inside each text, provides students with exercises to enhance learning and retention of the content in the text.

Thanks, Sherry Rating:  - More Mosby garbageMosby published books never fail to disappoint. This book is unorganized, inaccurate, and poorly worded just like a typical Mosby book. There is no point in updating with new editions, this book is hopeless and the world would be a better place if it was taken off the market. In fact, I will celebrate the day Mosby publishing company goes out of business. I have been tortured with their heinous nursing books for far too long. I am an online student and have read fantastic textbooks, this is NOT one ... Read More Rating: - Utter disappointment!I'm a practicing RN for the last 13 years. This book is req'd in my APRN patho class. I must say that all 40+ students hate this book. We have found MULTIPLE mistakes. Prime example: on pg. 363 the book is describing a scissor gait. It states, "The legs are abducted so they touch each other." This is just one of many outright mistakes the book makes. Also, the tests and quizzes provided to instructors have many blatant errors in the answer key (ie-the "correct" answer in the answer key is not necessarily ... Read More |
