An Introduction to Human Disease
Pathology and Pathophysiology Correlations
Résumé
Introduction to Human Disease, Sixth Edition is a clearly written, user friendly, profusely illustrated book that takes a systems approach to presenting human disease. Specifically designed for students in the allied health and nursing fields, this edition correlates structure and function disturbances and indicates how the disturbances cause the clinical manifestations of the various diseases, and guide treatment. Though vastly updated, the text is still organized into two main sections: the first covers general concepts and diseases that affect the body as a whole; the second takes a systems approach which details disorders typically affecting specific organ systems. The Sixth Edition comes with a free student workbook! It has 27 chapters that each contain a chapter outline, study questions of various types, and transparency images and PowerPoint slides.
- Updated information on new applications of positron emission tomography (PET scans), and on the human genome project and genomics
- Updated information on streptococcal disease, including the role of routine screening of pregnant women for group B beta streptococci to prevent infection of their newborn infants
- New material has been added to the section on tumors, including the use of new, less toxic drugs that act against the various growth factors and enzymes that promote tumor growth
- Updated information on the pathogenesis and management of aortic stenosis, now the most commonly encountered valvular disease as our population ages
- Expanded section on anaerobic bacteria, which now includes a discussion of anthrax as a bioterrorism agent
- New concepts on coronary heart disease, and new approaches to treatment
- Revised section on HIV and AIDS reflects the changing patterns of transmission, and also considers the newer methods of treatment, which greatly decrease the possibility of mother-to-infant HIV transmission
L'auteur - Leonard Crowley
Leonard Crowley is an experienced physician and educator based in the Minnesota twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. He has a broad background in both the practice of medicine and the education of nursing students and undergraduate students in allied health professions, as well as medical students and graduate students in health related professions. Dr. Crowley received a M.Sc. degree from Ohio State University and an M.D. degree from the University of Vermont College of Medicine. Following graduation he received additional training at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and Presbyterian Hospital in New York, and at Ohio State University in Columbus Ohio. He has held faculty appointments in the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology at the University of Vermont and Ohio State University, and in the Department of Family Practice and Community Health at the University of Minnesota. He is an honorary staff physician at Fairview University Medical Center in Minneapolis, and his current faculty appointments are in the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology at the University of Minnesota Medical School, and in the Biology Department at Century College where he is actively involved in teaching nursing and allied health students. His special interest in undergraduate teaching dates back to his early experience teaching nursing students at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center in New York when he was a resident physician in the Department of Pathology, and he has continued to combine his interest in undergraduate teaching with his medical practice throughout his professional career. Dr. Crowley is the author of several peer reviewed articles in medical and scientific journals. In addition to his popular Introduction to Human Disease now in a sixth edition, he has also written clinically oriented textbooks in Anatomy and Physiology and in Clinical Embryology for nursing and allied health students, as well as laboratory manuals and study guides related to human disease, microbiology, and anatomy-physiology.
