PATHOLOGY (NATIONAL MEDICAL SERIES FOR INDEPENDENT STUDY)

DETAILED YET CONCISE, THIS BOOK USES A COMPREHENSIVE OUTLINE FORMAT AND IS ORGANIZED IN THE WAY THAT PATHOLOGY IS TAUGHT AT MOST MEDICAL SCHOOLS. NEW TO THIS EDITION ARE THE ADDITION OF A TRANSPLANTATION CHAPTER, WHICH COVERS GENERAL IMMUNOLOGIC MECHANISMS AND PATHOLOGIC FEATURES OF TRANSPLANT REJECTION, ORGAN-SPECIFIC TRANSPLANTATION PATHOLOGY (KIDNEY, LIVER, HEART, LUNG, BONE MARROW), GRAFT-VERSUS HOST DISEASE, AND COMPLICATIONS OF TRANSPLANTATION; K-TYPE QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED AND REPLACED BY CASE-BASED OR CLINICALLY ORIENTED QUESTIONS; AND A MODERATE INCREASE IN TABLES AND DIAGRAMS, TO "BREAK-UP" DENSE OUTLINED TEXT. THE NMS OUTLINE FORMAT PROVIDES A LOGICAL ORGANIZATION OF PATHOLOGY CONCEPTS AND ELIMINATES UNNECESSARY WORDS AND DETAIL.
