Designed specifically for future allied health professionals, "Human Diseases," 7th Edition, includes everything you need to know about the diseases and disorders health care providers see and treat most often. Making pathology fully accessible, the text is packed with current research that reflects the latest practices from the field. Following a basic review of anatomy and physiology, chapters present each disease's description, etiology, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and prevention, while detailed, full-color photos make it easier to understand key concepts. The 7th edition includes up-to-date information on new and emerging disorders, ICD-10 progress, pharmacology concerns, herbal and nontraditional remedies, current research and statistics and more. In addition, real-life cases and interactive learning tools give you hands-on experience to help you put what you learn into practice.
