Integrated Physiology and Pathophysiology

By Julian L Seifter, Elisa Walsh, David E Sloane, et al.

Edited by physiology instructors who are also active clinicians, Integrated Physiology and Pathophysiology is a one-stop guide to key information you need for early clinical and medical training and practice. This unique, integrated textbook unites these two essential disciplines and focuses on the most relevant aspects for clinical application. A concise, review-like format, tables and diagrams, spaced repetition for effective learning, and self-assessment features help you gain and retain a firm understanding of basic physiology and pathophysiology. Integrated Physiology and Pathophysiology works equally well as a great starting point in your studies and as a review for boards.

Chapters are short and focus on clinically relevant, foundational concepts in clear, simple languageEmploys focused repetition of key points, helping you quickly recall core concepts such as pressure-flow-resistance relationships, ion gradients and action potentials, and mass balance. You'll revisit these concepts in a variety of meaningful clinical contexts in different chapters; this "spaced learning" method of reinforcement promotes deeper and more flexible understanding and applicationIncludes Fast Facts boxes that emphasize take-home messages or definitionsContains Integration boxes that link physiology and pathophysiology to pharmacology, genetics, and other related sciencesPresents clinical cases and with signs and symptoms, history, and laboratory data that bring pathophysiology to lifeFeatures end-of-chapter board-type questions, complete with clear explanations of the answers, to help prepare you for standardized examsEnhanced eBook version included with purchase.
