Quick Navigation

Overview

Designed specifically for allied health students, HUMAN DISEASES, Sixth Edition, 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, then explores the diseases and disorders health care professionals see and treat most often. Intuitively organized chapters present each disease's description, etiology, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and prevention, while detailed, full-color photos help readers gain a thorough understanding of key concepts. Completely up to date, the Sixth Edition includes information on new and 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 today's learners.
