Case Mysteries in Pathophysiology


Book Description

Case Mysteries in Pathophysiology, 2e is designed for bachelors and masters level health science students who are eager to apply their knowledge of anatomy, physiology and pathology in clinical settings. This book is based on the premise that students remember narratives and examples better than they remember a list of facts. It gives students their first hands-on look at some of the common symptoms and diseases they will see as health professionals. They will also become more familiar with typical medical tests that patients undergo to help clinicians confirm diagnoses and propose treatment plans. Contact your instructor for solutions to the case mysteries.

Forensic Pathology of Asphyxial Deaths


Book Description

This book provides an overview of Asphyxial Deaths which includes hanging, strangulation, choking, smothering, gagging, drowning, aspiration, mechanical and chemical asphyxiants, etc. Postmortem examination often leads to doubts as a clear distinction between the different type of asphyxia cannot be made easily. Forensic and physiological aspects are discussed with the help of illustrative cases. The author discusses the different aspects of asphyxia deaths and substantiates multiple case studies to establish a scientific approach that can act as a guideline to the autopsy surgeon in providing a precise opinion and clarify doubts for the judiciary involved in such criminal justice cases. Key Features • Presents individual case studies of Asphyxial deaths. • Covers the guidelines to be followed by the autopsy surgeons in different cases. • Discusses the physiological aspects of Asphyxial deaths in detail. • Illustrates the cases in a stepwise manner with more than 350 colored photographs of postmortem examination.




Pathophysiology


Book Description

This pathophysiology text offers a unique conceptual approach that facilitates learning by viewing pathophysiology as health care professionals do. Students will learn about general mechanisms of disease or alterations in human function—such as immune alterations or altered nutrition—and apply these processes to specific conditions. Chapters focus on fifteen core concepts of altered human function, selected by analyzing and clustering health conditions with high prevalence, incidence, and severity. Unlike a traditional systems-based approach, this novel approach shows how most diseases involve multiple body systems. A bound-in CD-ROM includes animations and an interactive game. Faculty resources include lesson plans, PowerPoint slides, additional case studies, and student assignment worksheets.
