Reseña del libro "CLINICAL PATHOPHYSIOLOGY (en Inglés)"
Understanding disease begins with understanding why normal physiology fails. Clinical Pathophysiology provides an integrated exploration of the cellular, molecular, immunologic, genetic, and systemic mechanisms that underlie disease in both adults and children.Beginning with the foundations of cellular injury, adaptation, apoptosis, inflammation, immunity, genetics, neoplasia, thrombosis, and shock, this comprehensive textbook progresses through the major organ systems and connects underlying disease mechanisms with their clinical consequences.Inside, readers will explore:Cellular and molecular mechanisms of disease, including cellular injury, adaptation, necrosis, apoptosis, genetics, epigenetics, and tissue repairInflammatory and immune-mediated disorders, including acute and chronic inflammation, hypersensitivity, autoimmunity, immunodeficiency, and transplant rejectionThe biology of cancer, including carcinogenesis, oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes, invasion, metastasis, and pediatric malignanciesCardiovascular, respiratory, renal, gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, pancreatic, and endocrine pathophysiologyNeurologic, musculoskeletal, hematologic, dermatologic, and reproductive disordersPediatric and developmental pathophysiology, including congenital disease, neonatal transitions, prematurity, developmental disorders, and inborn errors of metabolismInfectious disease mechanisms and host–pathogen interactions, from bacterial and viral disease to fungal, parasitic, and systemic infectionsCritical illness and multisystem disease, including shock, sepsis, multiorgan dysfunction, metabolic disturbances, and systemic inflammatory responsesAging, pharmacogenomics, precision medicine, and lifespan-based clinical synthesisThe book emphasizes the connections between normal physiology, pathological mechanisms, organ dysfunction, and clinical disease, helping readers develop a structured understanding rather than relying solely on memorization.Designed for students and healthcare professionals in medicine, nursing, allied health, and other health-science disciplines, Clinical Pathophysiology provides a broad foundation for understanding disease across the lifespan and serves as a valuable resource for clinical learning, examination preparation, and continuing medical education.
