Description: About this productProduct InformationThis is the Eighth Edition of the comprehensive and well-respected text and reference of pathophysiology. As a nurse-physiologist, Carol Porth uniquely emphasizes "concepts" of altered health states, as opposed to factual descriptions of diseases and disorders. This conceptual model integrates the developmental and preventative aspects of health. By taking this physiologic approach, the author ensures a comprehension of the whole of body function. By integrating all of the aspects of the human body into a total functional whole, the student can grasp both the physical and psychological aspects of altered health. This edition has a completely revamped art program and new displays that showcase pathophysiological processes though detailed visual representation. Other highlights include a greater international focus, expanded content on evidence-based practice and completely revised, updated chapters on genetics, disorders of white blood cells and lymphoid tissues, and innate and acquired immunity. A bound-in CD-ROM and companion Website include Weblinks, an NCLEX tutorial, a Spanish-English audio glossary, monographs of 100 most commonly prescribed drugs, over 30 Concepts in Action animations, 5 Clinical Simulations, and dosage calculation quizzes. An Instructor's Resource DVD-ROM and online instructor resources are also available.Product IdentifiersPublisherLippincott Williams & WilkinsISBN-100781766168ISBN-139780781766166eBay Product ID (ePID)102917661Product Key FeaturesAuthorCarol Mattson Porth, Glenn MatfinPublication NamePathophysiology : concepts of Altered Health StatesFormatHardcoverLanguageEnglishFeaturesRevisedPublication Year2008TypeTextbookNumber of Pages1680 PagesDimensionsItem Length10.9in.Item Height2.3in.Item Width8.4in.Item Weight123.5 OzAdditional Product FeaturesLc Classification NumberRb113Edition DescriptionRevised EditionEdition Number8Table of ContentUnit I Concepts of Health and Disease Chapter 1 Concepts of Health and Disease Chapter 2 Concepts of Altered Health in Children Chapter 3 Concepts of Altered Health in Older AdultsUnit II Cell Function and Growth Chapter 4 Cell and Tissue Characteristics Chapter 5 Cellular Adaptation, Injury, and Death Chapter 6 Genetic Control of Cell Function and Inheritance Chapter 7 Genetic and Congenital Disorders Chapter 8 NeoplasiaUnit III Disorders of Integrative Function Chapter 9 Stress and Adaptation Chapter 10 Alterations in Temperature Regulation Chapter 11 Activity Tolerance and FatigueUnit IV Disorders of the Hematopoietic System Chapter 12 Blood Cells and the Hematopoietic System Chapter 13 Disorders of Hemostasis Chapter 14 Disorders of Red Blood Cells Chapter 15 Disorders of White Blood Cells and Lymphoid TissuesUnit V Infection, Inflammation, and Immunity Chapter 16 Mechanisms of Infectious Disease Chapter 17 Innate and Acquired Immunity Chapter 18 Inflammation and Wound Healing Chapter 19 Disorders of the Immune Response Chapter 20 Acquired Immunodeficiency SyndromeUnit VI Disorders of the Cardiovascular Function Chapter 21 Structure and Function of the Cardiovascular System Chapter 22 Disorders of Blood Flow in the Systemic Circulation Chapter 23 Disorders of Blood Pressure Regulation Chapter 24 Disorders of Cardiac Function Chapter 25 Disorders of Cardiac Conduction and Rhythm Chapter 26 Heart Failure and Circulatory ShockUnit VII Disorders of Respiratory Function Chapter 27 Structure and Function of the Respiratory System Chapter 28 Respiratory Tract Infections, Neoplasms, and Childhood Disorders Chapter 29 Disorders of Ventilation and Gas ExchangeUnit VIII Disorders of Renal Function and Fluid and Electrolytes Chapter 30 Structure and Function of the Kidney Chapter 31 Disorders of Fluid and Electrolyte Balance Chapter 32 Disorders of Acid-Base Balance Chapter 33 Disorders of Renal Function Chapter 34 Acute Renal Failure and Chronic Kidney Disease Chapter 35 Disorders of Bladder and Lower Urinary TractUnit IX Gastrointestinal Function Chapter 36 Structure and Function of the Gastrointestinal System Chapter 37 Disorders of Gastrointestinal Function Chapter 38 Disorders of Hepatobiliary and Exocrine Pancreas FunctionUnit X Disorders of Endocrine Function Chapter 40 Mechanisms of Endocrine ControlUnit XI Disorders of Genitourinary and Reproductive Function Chapter 43 Structure and Function of the Male Genitourinary SystemUnit XII Neural Function Chapter 48 Organization and Control of Neural FunctionUnit XIII Disorders of Special Sensory Function Chapter 54 Disorders of Visual FunctionUnit XIV Musculoskeletal and Integumentary Function Chapter 56 Structure and Function of the Musculoskeletal SystemAppendix A: Laboratory ValuesGlossaryCopyright Date2008Target AudienceScholarly & ProfessionalTopicPathophysiology, Nursing / Fundamentals & Skills, Nursing / GeneralLccn2008-024076Dewey Decimal616.07Dewey Edition22IllustratedYesGenreMedical
