Pathophysiology: Concepts of Altered Health States

|
Synopses & Reviews This is the Seventh Edition of the comprehensive and well-respected text and reference of pathophysiology. As a nurse-physiologist, Carol Porth uniquely emphasizes "concepts" of altered health states, as opposed to factual descriptions of diseases and disorders. By taking this physiologic approach, the author ensures a comprehension of the whole of body function. By integrating all of the aspects of the human body into a total functional whole, the student can grasp both the physical and psychological aspects of altered health. A back-of-book CD-ROM includes three-dimensional animations of pathophysiology. Synopsis: The Seventh edition of this comprehensive pathophysiology textbook continues to offer an unparalleled presentation of the discipline of pathophysiology. Coverage is based on common health problems for all of the segments of the population, including coverage of the special needs of children, the elderly, and pregnant women. In addition to the renowned learning tools of previous editions, such as intra-text summaries, and key concept boxes, this text now has the addition of case studies and review exercises throughout, as well as more visually appealing art.
