Pathophysiology The Biologic Basis for Disease in Adults 8th Edition pdf eBook – ISBN: 9780323639507
About This eBook :
Learn the what, how, and why of pathophysiology! With easy-to-read, in-depthdescriptions of disease, disease etiology, and disease processes, Pathophysiology: The Biologic Basis for Disease in Adults and Children, 8th Edition helps you understand the most important and most complex pathophysiology concepts. This updated text includes more than 1,300 full-color illustrations and photographs to make it easier to identify normal anatomy and physiology, as well as alterations of function. This edition includes a NEW chapter on obesity and nutritional disorders, along withexpanded coverage of rare diseases and epigenetics. It’s the most comprehensive and authoritative pathophysiology text available!
