Help students learn the fundamentals of pathophysiology with this concise, easy-to-understand text! Gould's Pathophysiology for the Health Professions, 8th Edition, helps your students master basic concepts of disorders and disease processes. Known for its readability and vivid, full-color illustrations, this text describes disorders by body system and also describes the interactions between systems. Case studies apply the material to real-life situations. New to this edition is the latest research as well as updates on artificial intelligence and newly developed tools and technologies. No matter which healthcare field students may enter, this book provides solid preparation for the conditions commonly encountered in clinical practice.
-
- NEW! Enhanced Technology boxes provide a greater emphasis on artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies
- NEW! Updated coverage of disorders reflects the latest information on key conditions
- Straightforward, readable writing style presents the content in a way that doesn’t overwhelm and yet familiarizes the reader with necessary scientific and medical terminology
- Discussions of individual disorders follow a "building block" approach, making understanding easier with 1) background, 2) pathophysiology, 3) etiology, 4) signs and symptoms, 5) diagnostic tests, 6) complications, and 7) treatment
- UNIQUE! Apply Your Knowledge questions ask students to use what they’ve learned to predict What can go wrong with this structure or system?, transitioning study from the body’s normal anatomy and physiology into its pathophysiology
- UNIQUE! Think About questions relate to the text’s facts, potential applications, or the integration of concepts, alerting students to important points and helping with self-evaluation, test preparation, and review
- Bigger Picture boxes list the effects of disorders and diseases on other body systems
- Case studies provide realistic, clinical applications of the book’s concepts
- Hundreds of illustrations clarify and reinforce pathophysiology concepts with photographs, flow charts, and schematic diagrams
