{ "item_title" : "Clinical Pathophysiology Handbook", "item_author" : [" Hayley Noah "], "item_description" : "In nursing and allied health, the moment that matters is rarely the one you revised for. It is the patient whose ankles are swollen but whose lungs are clear, the lab result that moves the wrong way, the presentation that does not match the textbook. Memorised facts go silent at exactly that moment. What carries you through is understanding the chain underneath: what failed, what the body did to compensate, and why that compensation produces the signs in front of you. Clinical Pathophysiology Handbook is built entirely around that chain.This is a systems-based reference that traces every condition from the initiating cellular insult through to the clinical presentation. Across 36 chapters and ten body systems, it explains mechanism first, then presentation, then interpretation - so that symptoms stop being a list to recall and become something you can reason your way to. Whether you are on placement, preparing for assessment, or already qualified and wanting a compact route back into the reasoning, this handbook is built to be read, revised from, and looked things up in.WHAT YOU WILL FIND INSIDEFoundations of Disease - cellular injury and adaptation, inflammation and repair, immune mechanisms and hypersensitivity, genetic and epigenetic contributionsBlood and Immune System - the anaemias, white cell and lymphoid disorders, haemostasis, thrombosis, and coagulopathyCardiovascular System - atherosclerosis and infarction, heart failure and compensation, valvular and myocardial disease, hypertension and shockRespiratory System - ventilation and perfusion, gas exchange failure, obstructive airway disease, restrictive, vascular, and infectious lung diseaseRenal, Fluid, Electrolyte, and Acid-Base - acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, sodium and potassium disorders, a stepwise method for blood gas interpretationGastrointestinal and Hepatobiliary - peptic disease, malabsorption and inflammatory bowel disease, cirrhosis and portal hypertension, pancreatic and biliary diseaseEndocrine and Metabolic - diabetes and its complications, thyroid and parathyroid disorders, adrenal and pituitary disease, metabolic syndrome and nutritionNervous System - intracranial pressure and cerebral perfusion, stroke syndromes, seizure and demyelination, dementia, delirium, and CNS infectionMusculoskeletal, Integumentary, and Reproductive - bone and joint disease, wounds, pressure injury and burns, reproductive pathophysiology and pregnancyInfection, Sepsis, and Multisystem Failure - host defence and antimicrobial resistance.WHO THIS BOOK IS FORNursing students and qualified nurses.
