Pathology: The Big Picture (LANGE The Big Picture) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm writing this review as a medical student. I would be comparing this book to the other high yield path books out there: BRS pathology, and rapid review pathology (goljan). This book is great, clear sentences and descriptions, great pictures, high yield facts. Some cons: no treatment indications. The one great thing about the rapid review path is that it always includes a few sentences about how the disease is treated thus giving you more of a whole picture of the disease, which is what these books ought to do since they are not aimed at providing deep reviews of each disease but rather a comprehensive review. However stylistically I understood the disease process better in this book since the sentences are not just bullet points. It has a good format now, but could use some more charts and diagrams and most importantly treatments. There's still room for improvement.

Pathophysiology of Disease An Introduction to Clinical Medicine, Sixth Edition (Lange Medical Books) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is an excellent pathophysiology book available in the market. I am right now preparing for my step 2 but I wish I would have used this book for my step 1. I have a decent score on my step 1 and I have taken the exam recently and I think if somebody masters this book they can rock the exam. This book gives excellent information regarding many diseases. I am trying to study this book right now with CMDT, which is also by the same author. Because CMDT is a very concise text book of IM it doesn't explain all the pathophysiology for a disease but this book has all the answers about the pathophysiology of a disease. And I think its a worth buying book for all the medical students, if you study this book little by little during preclinical years it will help you very much understand the IM in the clinical years. I was surprize to find some infornation which I was craving for since few years of my med school. You will even find pathophysilogy of very rare syndromes, as for example I was amazed when I read about X linked Hypophosphatemic rickets. If you are like me who wants to have explanation behind everything, get this book today, you wan't be disappointed.

A complete case-based review of the essentials of pathophysiology – covering all major organs and systems

4 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW!"This is a great addition to the ranks of pathophysiology books for graduate students in medicine. It also is useful as a reference while on the wards as a memory jogger for basic anatomy, physiology, and pathology of common diseases. The addition of the full-color diagrammatic illustrations and tables and theexpanded case studies make the e book aesthetically pleasing and easily navigable. Overall, this is a great book to have on hand for the preclinical years, clinical years, and beyond!"--Doody's Review Service

This trusted text introduces you to clinical medicine by reviewing the pathophysiologic basis of the signs and symptoms of 100 diseases commonly encountered in medical practice. Each chapter first describes normal function of a major organ or organ system, then turns attention to the pathology and disordered physiology, including the role of genetics, immunology, and infection in pathogenesis. Underlying disease mechanisms are described, along with their systems, signs, and symptoms, and the way these mechanisms themselves determine the most effective treatment.

This unique interweaving of physiological and pathological concepts will put you on the path towards thinking about signs and symptoms in terms of their pathologic basis, giving you an understanding of the "whys" behind both illness and treatment.

Features
NEW full-color presentation
111 case studies (22 new ones) provide an opportunity for you to test your understanding of the pathophysiology of each clinical entity discussed
A complete chapter devoted to detailed analyses of the cases
"Checkpoint" review questions appear throughout every chapter
Numerous tables and diagrams encapsulate important information
References for each chapter topic
NEW sections in the chapters on liver disease and inflammatory rheumatic diseases and a completely rewritten chapter on male reproductive tract disorders
