Essentials of Pathophysiology: Concepts of Altered States
·Updated, reorganized, revised, and condensed, the book provides the most critical and current “need to know” pathophysiology
content.
·The Third Edition’s Chapter 8 has been split into two chapters: “Disorders of Fluid” and “Electrolyte Balance and Disorders of
Acid-Base Balance.”
·A new series of
advanced 3D narrated animations
help students master difficult pathophysiological concepts.
·Tables and Charts
present complex information in a memorable and easy-to-understand manner.
·Special considerations icons
highlight content relevant to infants and children, pregnant women, and older adults.
·A striking art program
with over 400 illustrations and 90 photographs builds on the successful art program of the Third
Edition.
·An expanded number of Clinical Features illustrations
depict patients with disorders to help students visualize
manifestations of disease states.
·An easy-to-understand presentation
helps students succeed in the course. Concepts build upon one another, words are defined
as content is presented, and concepts from physiology, biochemistry, physics, and other sciences are reviewed along the way.
·“Understanding” Diagrams
that depict physiologic processes and phenomena are presented in sequential chunks for easier
learning.
·Review Exercises
present situational or case studies to encourage thinking and conceptualization, thus helping students to
integrate and synthesize information.
·Summary Concepts boxes
focus on conceptualization rather than memorization, while presenting each section’s material in
bulleted lists.
·An organization by body systems
features an initial introductory chapter on Structure and Function of the particular body
system with subsequent chapters focusing on clinically relevant disorders.
