Pathology for the Health Professions

FROM THE PUBLISHER
This introductory text provides a solid foundation of knowledge for
students in health professions. Divided into two sections, general
pathology and systemic pathology, it focuses on the most common
diseases, which are either frequently encountered or illustrate an
important principle. Each chapter begins with a review of normal
tissues and organs and follows with a discussion of the major
diseases. New features in this third edition include additional Did
You Know boxes, more full-color illustrations, and an expanded
glossary.

Clear, non-technical writing style engages students and makes
difficult information easy to comprehend.
"DEPPiCT" approach presents each major disease in the same format
that includes, whenever feasible, a Definition or description,
Etiology, Pathogenesis, Pathology, and Clinical features, and a short
discussion on Therapy or prognosis.
Learning objectives and a chapter outline at the beginning of each
chapter inform the student of what is within the chapter and can also
be used to test the student's retention upon completion of the
chapter.
A key terms list is provided at the beginning of each chapter. These
terms are bolded and explained at first mention within the text. They
are also defined in the glossary.
Each chapter ends with several open-ended review questions that
represent the core information from the chapter and allow students to
evaluate how well they have mastered the material.

More Did You Know boxes provide interesting stories and curious facts
about various disorders. Additions to this edition address relevant
health issues such as West Nile Virus.
An expanded glossary gives studentseasy access to needed definitions
even if a medical dictionary is not readily available.
Additional full-color illustrations reinforce the written message and
simplify the information contained within the text
