An accompanying CD compares pathology with normal histology through many color images, with links to the Internet for additional images and information.

Here's a fun-filled, unconventional reference that's guaranteed to greatly enhance understanding of critical pathophysiology concepts. Light-hearted illustrations and humor break the tension and make learning a joy. Contents include pathophysiology basics, cancer, infection, immune system, genetics, endocrine system, respiratory system, cardiovascular system, neurologic system, hematologic system, digestive system, renal and urologic system, and musculoskeletal system.

The book blendes the essentials of basic pharmacology and clinical pharmacology so that the transition from classroom to hospital is less abrupt. Students report that the book is most effective when lecture notes are written directly on the tables and margins, providing a single, concise guide for finals and the National Boards.
