Essentials of pathology

Description:

Essentials of Pathology is a core textbook of general pathology and gives an elementary overview of the science of disease, based on the Cambridge course. The accumulated data about disease are now so complex that nearly all students find it difficult at first to know which are the important messages and which are unnecessary detail. True to its name, Essentials of Pathology ruthlessly eradicates useless detail and aims instead to stress the common scientific principles that govern the major disease processes and link them together. Essentials of Pathology explains the interactions of the basic principles of inflammation and healing, the immune response, bacterial disease, viral disease, parasitic disease, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Essentials of Pathology is an ideal introduction for students of human and veterinary medicine. However, since most research into disease, and most caring for the sick, is not done by medical doctors, it will also appeal to others who need an elementary knowledge of how diseases happen, including biomedical scientists and health professionals.
