Gould’s Pathophysiology for the Health Professions is a concise, easy-to-understand introduction to the fundamentals of pathophysiology. Continuing in its well-known tradition of readability and vivid, full-color illustrations, the text is updated with the latest research and discoveries in human disease. Disorders are described by body system, with coverage of the interactions between systems, and special features help students apply the material to real-life situations. No matter which healthcare field students may enter, this book provides solid preparation for the conditions they may encounter in clinical practice.

• A concise and readable writing style presents the content in a way that doesn’t overwhelm the reader and yet provides exposure to the necessary scientific and medical terminology. • Disorder discussions follow a logical and consistent “building block approach, making it easy for students to master this challenging information in order to build the required knowledge base. • UNIQUE! An “Apply Your Knowledge question follows each review section and asks the student to predict “What can go wrong with this structure or system? This unique feature transitions the student from the normal anatomy and physiology into the pathophysiology, with the goal of applying previously learned knowledge to facilitate progress. • UNIQUE! “Think About questions are scattered throughout the text, relating to simple, factual information, potential applications, or the integration of several concepts. They alert students to important points covered and are useful for self-evaluation, test preparation, and review. • Multiple case studies are presented in all chapters to provide a basis for class discussion or to be used as an assignment.
