A comprehensive guide to pathology uses cartoons and detailed illustrations to help explain basic concepts, presenting symptoms, risk factors, and causes of disorders and diseases that occur all over the body.
Through the use of cartoons, photographs and colorful graphics, the editing staff at Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins has made this primer for pathophysiology fun, informative and sometimes shockingly graphic. Covering such subjects as cardiovascular disorders, immune disorders and the basics of cell pathology, contributors provide succinct and dynamic visual descriptions of various diseases accompanied by facts about signs and symptoms, risk factors and causes. While the easy-to-use format may appeal to general audiences, the graphic photographs of diseased organs are probably more suited for health care professionals.
