Applied Pathophysiology: A Conceptual Approach to the Mechanisms of Disease, 3rd Edition

Authors: Carie Braun (Author), Cindy Anderson (Author)

Emphasizing application of knowledge, active learning strategies, critical thinking, and evidence-based practice, this updated 3rd Edition of Applied Pathophysiology: A Conceptual Approach to the Mechanisms of Disease explores pathophysiology through the lens of body function concepts and what happens when function is altered through injury or disease. This novel approach helps students understand that diseases are rarely confined to one body system and challenges them to apply what they’ve learned to a range of diseases, rather than trying to memorize facts about specific conditions. In the process, they learn to think about pathophysiology in the same way PR actioners do in a clinical setting—by working from symptoms to the cause, rather than the other way around. The 3rd Edition features much that is new including a new chapter on mental illnesses, new case studies in every chapter, and a wide range of new clinically focused features.

Preface

This third edition comes at a time when conceptual curricula and concept-based learning are gaining a strong foothold. Should the student learn through a body-systems approach or a conceptual altered functional approach? This text teaches pathophysiology through the lens of body function concepts and what happens when function is altered through injury or disease. The text then illustrates these concepts through select diseases, or clinical models. By explaining the core concepts of altered human function, students can apply a deeper understanding to a range of diseases, rather than trying to memorize facts about specific conditions. Because students learn through application, they learn to think about pathophysiology as in a clinical setting, by working from symptoms to the cause, rather than the other way around.
At its core, this edition continues to emphasize student learning, application of knowledge, active learning strategies, critical thinking, and evidence-based practice through the many features and learning resources that accompany this text. We are excited for the opportunity to share this learning tool and continue to welcome your valuable feedback!
