“This pathophysiology text offers a unique conceptual approach that facilitates learning by viewing pathophysiology as health care professionals do. Where a traditional systems-based approach impractically isolates diseases to a single body system, this approach recognizes how disease affects multiple systems. Additionally, rather than learning only about a limited number of diseases, aiming for rote memorization of the key factors in those diseases, the conceptual approach details the mechanisms of disease. By explaining the core concepts of altered human function, students can apply a deeper understanding to a host of diseases, rather than trying to memorize facts about specific conditions. Because students learn through application they learn to thinkabout pathophysiology the way they will need to in a clinical setting, by working from symptoms to the cause, rather than the other way around. Each chapter discusses clinical models, enhancing the real-world application of the material”–Provided by publisher.

16. First, there is a reliance on the understanding of human physiology. A person must first understand how something works before grasping what occurs when something goes wrong. Second, the core of pathophysiology is based on functional changes in the body. This relates to how the body responds to unexpected or undesired changes.
17. Pathology is the study of the structural and functional changes in cells and tissues as a result of injury. Pathophysiology is basically a combination of pathology and physiology; that is, structural and functional changes at a cellular and tissue level that affect the entire body.
18. Caring for the person, and not the disease, means that the emphasis is on care of the person. This implies that people are not referred to by the name of their disease (i.e., the diabetic) and are seen as having meaningful lives outside of the health care setting.
19. Nosocomial illnesses are caused by exposure to the health care environment. Nosocomial is likened to the ill fortune of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Iatrogenic illnesses are the inadvertent result of medical treatment. An example of an iatrogenic illness is the development of a urinary tract infection through the placement of a tube into the urinary bladder to treat urinary retention.
20. Signs are the observable or measurable expression of the altered health condition. For example, in herpes simplex (a cold sore), a sign would be raised clear fluid filled vesicles on the individual’s lip, or an oral temperature of 37.6°C or 99.6°F. The signs are often considered the “objective” manifestations that can be seen or measured by the health care professional. The symptoms are the indicators that are reported by the ill individual and are often considered the “subjective” manifestations. Symptoms of herpes may include tingling or discomfort at the local site of the vesicles or a feeling of lethargy or tiredness. These symptoms are difficult for the health care provider to observe or to measure.
21. Acute is usually abrupt in onset and last a few days to a few months. Chronic is often more insidious, or gradual in onset, and occur over a longer time period, generally 6 months or greater.
22. Remissions are symptom-free periods. Exacerbations are periods where symptoms flare and can be severe.
23. Incidence is the rate of occurrence of a health condition at any given time. Incidence is basically the probability that a condition will occur in a certain population. Prevalence is the percentage of a population that is affected by a particular disease at a given time.
24. A condition is endemic when the incidence and prevalence are stable and predictable. A dramatic increase in the incidence of a health condition in a population is termed epidemic, that is, above the endemic rate. When this epidemic spreads across continents the condition is considered pandemic.
25. The Human Genome Project has been instrumental in stimulating research interest in the area of human diversity and disease. Research is underway to determine the variability in DNA sequence patterns among populations in Africa, Asia, and the United States. These studies aim to identify “DNA regions” associated with complex diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and certain types of mental illness. These DNA regions will identify those that are more likely to develop these complex diseases based on their genetic structure. This will provide additional clues to the human factors that increase the risk and development of disease.
