Quick Navigation

Overview

Designed specifically for allied health students, HUMAN DISEASES, 5e delivers comprehensive coverage packed with the latest research and developments from real-world practice. Extremely reader friendly, this best-selling pathophysiology text begins with a basic review of anatomy and physiology and then explores the diseases and disorders health care professionals see and treat most. Intuitively organized, chapters present each disease's description, etiology, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention, while detailed, full-color photos help ensure thorough understanding. Completely up to date, the fifth edition covers new emerging disorders, ICD-10 progress, pharmacology concerns, herbal and nontraditional remedies, current statistics, and more. Its thought-provoking vignettes, real-life cases, and interactive learning tools make pathology more accessible than ever for learners.
