Textbook Of Pathology For Bpt Students

Product Full Description

Quick Overview This book consists of 24 chapters and is organized into two sections namely General Pathology and Systemic Pathology. Section 1: It consists of general pathology and provides an overview of the basic pathologic mechanisms underlying diseases including cellular adaptations, inflammation, tissue repair, chronic inflammation, hemodynamic disorders, immunological disorders, neoplasia and genetics. Section 2: It deals with systemic pathology with chapters devoted to diseases of various organ systems including vascular, cardiac, respiratory, gastrointestinal, liver and biliary tract, pancreas, kidney, bones, endocrines, skin, peripheral nervous system and central nervous system. After many years (more than 34 years) of teaching BPT students, I found there is no textbook meant only for BPT students. I also observed that undergraduate students find it difficult to understand, remember and answer the questions during examinations, in a satisfying way. This encouraged me to write a book to fill the niche, to provide basic information to BPT students in a nutshell. The text provides all the basic information, the student will ever need to know. Key words are shown in bold words so that student can rapidly go through the book on the previous day or just before the examination. Most students are fundamentally “visually oriented.” As the saying “one picture is worth a thousand words”, it encouraged me to provide many illustrations. Numerous illustrations, gross photographs, photomicrographs, tables, flowcharts and X-rays have been incorporated for easy understanding of the subject.
