Assuming no prior knowledge of the principles of diagnostic science, chapters follow a consistent format throughout. Each opens with a statement of learning objectives, a basic introduction and a description of normal physiology. These are followed by a discussion of how the latter is altered by the disease process and comprehensive coverage of the scientific principles underlying disease development, diagnosis and treatment. Real cases are used to illustrate the importance of biology in understanding the causes of disease, as well as in diagnosis and therapy. This second edition has been thoroughly and revised and updated throughout and is now presented in full colour with more case studies and increased illustration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSummarizes the biological bases of common diseases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscusses real cases, placing basic science in a clinical context for the student\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes learning objectives, end of chapter summaries and questions for self-testing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtensively illustrated in full colour with explanatory line diagrams and photographs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdditional online resources for students and lecturers available for download from https:\/\/www.routledge.com\/9781032284361 \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is designed to meet the needs of undergraduates on biomedical, clinical and healthcare science programmes, and is also suitable for those studying relevant units at postgraduate level.
