Description
ELSEVIER Underwoods Pathology A Clinical Approach 7Th Edition by Simon Cross
Underwood’s
Pathology (formerly General and Systematic Pathology) is an
internationally popular and highly acclaimed textbook, written and designed
principally for students of medicine and the related health sciences. Pathology
is presented in the context of modern cellular and molecular biology and
contemporary clinical practice. After a clear introduction to basic
principles, it provides comprehensive coverage of disease
mechanisms and the pathology of specific disorders ordered by body system.
An unrivalled collection of clinical photographs, histopathology images and
graphics complement the clear, concise text.
For this
seventh edition, the entire book has been revised and updated. Well
liked features to assist problem-based learning – including
body diagrams annotated with signs, symptoms and diseases and a separate index
of common clinical problems – have been retained and refreshed. The advent
of whole genome sequencing and increased knowledge of
the genetics of disease has been recognised by updated
sections in many chapters.
