E-Books →Biology of Disease (2nd Edition)

Biology of Disease describes the biology of many of the human disorders and diseases that are encountered in a clinical setting. Assuming no prior knowledge of the principles of diagnostic science, chapters follow a consistent format. Each opens with a set of learning objectives, an introduction to the topic and a description of the relevant biochemistry, molecular and cell biologies and physiology. How this biology is altered during the development of diseases and their diagnoses, management and treatment are then discussed. Real cases are used to illustrate the importance of biology in understanding the causes of disease, as well as in diagnosis and therapy. This second edition has been thoroughly revised and updated throughout and is now presented in full colour, with more case studies, questions and illustrations.
