Preface
This textbook provides an introduction to pathophysiology for students in a variety of academic programs for the health professions at colleges and universities. Major disorders are described as well as selected additional diseases with the intention of providing information on a broad spectrum of diseases with one or more distinguish- ing features for each. It is anticipated that additional information and resources pertinent to the individual’s professional needs may be added to classroom presenta- tions and assignments. We trust that students will enjoy studying these topics and proceed with enthusiasm to more detailed studies within their individual specialties.
Organization
The textbook is organized into five major sections followed by the appendices:
Section I—Basic Concepts of Disease Processes • Introduction to pathophysiology includes medical
terminology and basic cellular changes. • Topics such as fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base imbal-
ances, basic pharmacology and pain are covered. • The core information for each topic is complemented
by the inclusion of a specific disease/condition as an immediate clinical application at the end of each chapter.
Section II—Defense/Protective Mechanisms • Topics such as inflammation and healing, infection,
and immunity are covered. • Specific areas included are a review of body defenses,
healing involved in specific trauma such as burns, basic microbiology, review of the immune system components, and mechanisms.
Section III—Pathophysiology of Body Systems • Selection of specific disorders is based on incidence
and occurrence, as well as on the need to present a variety of pathophysiological processes and etiologies to the student.
• For major disorders, information is provided on pathophysiology, etiology, clinical manifestations,
significant diagnostic tests, common treatment modali- ties, and potential complications.
• Other selected diseases are presented in less detail, but significant, unique features are highlighted.
Section IV: Factors Contributing to Pathophysiology • Normal physiological changes related to cancer,
adolescence, pregnancy, and aging, with their relevance and effect on disease processes and the treatment of the affected individual, are described.
• Specific disorders associated with cancer and the developmental stages are discussed.
Section V: Environmental Factors and Pathophysiology • Factors such as immobility, stress, substance abuse,
and environmental hazards are the major components in this section.
• Effects of the various environmental factors on the various body systems and potential complications beyond physical pathologies are discussed.
• New research and data are included as these are areas of increasing concern with regard to pathophysiology and patient health.
Appendices—additional information: • Ready References include lists of anatomic terms,
abbreviations and acronyms, a selection of diagnostic tests, an example of a medical history, a disease index, and drug index.
• A glossary and a list of additional resources complete this resource.
Format and Features
The basic format as well as the straightforward, concise approach remains unchanged from the previous editions. Some material has been reorganized to improve the flow of information and facilitate comprehension. Many features related to the presentation of information in this textbook continue as before. • Generic learning objectives are included in each chapter.
Instructors may modify or add applicable objectives for a specific professional program.
P R E FAC E ix
What’s New?
• Information on specific diseases has been updated throughout.
• The specific disorders for each body system have been expanded to reflect current trends and research.
• A broader emphasis on all allied health professions has been incorporated.
• Sections and chapters have been reorganized to present the student with a building block approach: basic science and how it relates to human biology, the body’s various mechanisms that respond to the disorders/diseases, the general overview of body systems and their specific disorders, other biological factors outside of the physiology of each system that contribute to instances of disorders/disease and, finally, those environmental factors not directly attributed to a biological function or condition that may contribute to pathophysiology throughout a number of body systems.
• Figures have been updated with new photographs and illustrations to help in the recognition and identification of the various concepts and specific disorders.
• Tables have been updated with new information that has been made available since the previous edition.
• Additional resources have been expanded and updated. • Study questions and Think About questions have been
reviewed and updated to cover new material in the chapter. The Apply Your Knowledge questions have replaced the Challenge questions in the previous editions.
• The Study Guide associated with this text has been updated to reflect the most recent information regard- ing various disorders.
Guidelines for Users
Certain guidelines were developed to facilitate the use of this textbook by students with diverse backgrounds studying in various health science programs. As well as ongoing general changes, some professional groups have developed unique practice models and language. In some disciplines, rapid changes in terminology have occurred, creating difficulty for some students. For example, current terms such as chemical dependency or cognitive impairment have many synonyms, and some of these are included to enable students to relate to a more familiar phrase. To avoid confusion, the common, traditional terminology has been retained in this text. • The recipient of care or service is referred to as a patient. • When a disease entity refers to a group of related
disorders, discussion focuses on either a typical rep- resentative of the group or on the general characteristics of the group.
• Key terms are listed at the beginning of the chapter. They are presented in bold print and defined when initially used in the chapter. Key terms are not indicated
• Cross-references are included, facilitating access to information.
• In the discussion of a particular disorder, the pathophysi- ology is presented first because this “sets the stage,” describing the basic change(s) in the body. Once the student understands the essence of the problem, he or she can easily identify the role of predisposing factors or causes and relate the resulting signs and symptoms or complications. Diagnostic tests and treatment also follow directly from the pathophysiology.
• Changes at the cellular level are included when significant.
• Brief reviews of normal anatomy and physiology are presented at the beginning of each chapter, to remind students of the structures and functions that are fre- quently affected by pathological processes. A review of basic microbiology is incorporated into the chapter on infections. Additional review material, such as the pH scale or the location of body cavities, may be found in the Appendices.
• Numerous illustrations, including flow charts, schematic diagrams, and photographs, clarify and reinforce textual information, as well as offer an alternative visual learning mode, particularly when complex processes are involved. Illustrations are fully labeled, including anatomical structures and pathologic changes. Different colors may be used in a figure to distinguish between the various stages or factors in a process.
• Tables summarize information or offer comparisons, which are helpful to the student in selecting the more significant information and for review purposes.
• Brief reference to diagnostic tests and treatment measures promotes understanding of the changes occurring during a disease.
• Questions are found in boxes throughout the text to stimulate application and review of new concepts. “Apply Your Knowledge” questions are based on review of normal physiology and its application, “Think About” questions follow each small section of informa- tion, and “Study Questions” are located at the end of each chapter. Questions may relate to simple, factual information, potential applications, or the integration of several concepts. These questions are helpful in alerting a student to points initially overlooked and are useful for student self-evaluation before proceeding to the next section. These features may also serve as a tool for review and test preparation. Brief answers are provided on the Evolve website.
• Brief, adaptable case studies with questions are incor- porated at the end of many chapters and are intended to provide a basis for discussion in a tutorial, an assignment, or an alternative learning mode. It is expected that specific clinical applications may be added by instructors for each professional group.
• Chapter summaries precede the review questions in each chapter.
x P R E FAC E
as such in subsequent chapters, but may be found in the glossary at the back of the book.
• Italics are used to emphasize significant words. • It is assumed that students have studied anatomy and
physiology prior to commencing a pathophysiology course.
• Concise, readable style includes sufficient scientific and medical terminology to help the student acquire a professional vocabulary and appropriate communica- tion skills. An effort has been made to avoid over- whelming the student with a highly technical approach or impeding the learning process in a student who comes with little scientific background.
• The presence of numeric values within textual informa- tion often confuses students and detracts from the basic concepts being presented; therefore, specific numbers are included only when they promote understanding of a principle.
• Suggested diagnostic tests and treatments are not individualized or necessarily complete but are pre- sented generally to assist the student’s application of the pathophysiology. They are also intended to provide students with an awareness of the impact of certain diseases on a client and of possible modifications in the individualized care required. Diagnostic tests increase student cognizance of the extent of data collection and sifting that may be necessary before making a diagnosis, as well as the importance of monitoring the course of a disease or the response to treatment.
• A brief introduction to pharmacology is included in Section I and specific drugs are referred to during the discussion of certain disorders. Drugs are identified by generic name, followed by a trade name. Examples provided in the appropriate chapter are not recom- mendations, but are suggested only as frequently used representatives of a drug classification. A drug index with references to the applicable chapter is located in the appendices.
• Information regarding adverse effects of drugs or other treatment is included when there may be potential problems such as high risk for infection or special precautions required of members of the health care team.
• Every effort has been made to present current informa- tion and concepts simply but accurately. This content provides the practitioner in a health profession with the prerequisite knowledge to recognize and under- stand a client’s problems and the limitations and implications of certain treatment measures; to reduce exacerbating factors; to participate in preventive programs; and to be an effective member of a health care team. The student will develop a knowledge base from which to seek additional information. Individual instructors may emphasize certain aspects or topics, as is most appropriate for students in a specialty area.
Resources
In the textbook: • Selected additional resources are listed in the appen-
dices in Ready Reference 9. • Reference tables are located inside the front book cover.
These comprise common normal values for blood, cerebrospinal fluid, and urine; a pH scale for body fluids; a list of blood clotting factors; and diagnostic tests.
• The chapter introducing pharmacology and therapeu- tics is limited in content, but combined with the brief references to treatments with individual disorders, is intended to complement the pathophysiology. This chapter also introduces a few traditional and non- traditional therapeutic modalities to facilitate the student’s understanding of various therapies and of the impact of diverse treatments on the patient and on care by all members of the health care team. Also included are brief descriptions of a few selected forms of therapy, for example, physiotherapy, in hopes of clarifying the roles of different members of a health care team.
• The appendices at the back of the textbook are intended to promote effective use of study time. They include:
• A brief review of anatomical terms describing body cavities and planes with accompanying illustrations as well as basic body movements
• Selected numerical conversions for temperature, weights, and volumes
• Lists of anatomical terms and combining forms, common abbreviations, and acronyms; because of the broad scope of pathophysiology, a medical dictionary is a useful adjunct for any student in the health-related professions
• A brief description with illustrations of common diagnostic tests such as ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging
• An example of a medical history, which can be modified to fit the needs of a particular professional group
• A disease index, with a brief description and references to the relevant chapter
• A drug index, identifying the principal action and references to the appropriate chapters
• A list of additional resources; websites consist primarily of health care groups or professional organizations that will provide accurate information and are likely to persist. Additional specific journals and websites are available for individual professions.
• A glossary, including significant terms used to describe diseases as well as key words
• Accompanying this textbook and developed for it, the ancillaries available include: A study guide for students provides learning activities
such as complex test questions, matching exercises, crossword puzzles, diagrams to label, and other assignments
