Pathopysiology Review

Hello, nursing students! My name is Marlene Hurst,
President and owner of Hurst Review Services and
author of this book. Hurst Review Services, which is
based in Brookhaven,Mississippi, opened its doors in
1988 when I began my new teaching job at a major
university. As I began to teach nursing students,
I quickly realized how much additional help they
needed while in nursing school. Actually, I figured
that out during my days as a nursing student, but at
that time I just assumed that I was the only one
struggling to survive nursing school! Today, my
passion to help nursing students is just as strong as
it ever was. Every time a struggling nursing student
calls, emails, or visits me in my office, I still get just
as fired up to help them as I did when I first started
teaching! There is no better feeling than to help
someone achieve their goal of becoming a nurse!
I pray that every single person I help will go and help
another nursing student. I certainly have had my
share of help! When you become an experienced
nurse, I hope you will help another new nurse and
answer their endless questions happily! I’ll never
forget my first preceptor, Mrs. Ann Hilton. I know
she got so tired of me saying,“Miss Ann”! If it were
not for somebody like Miss Ann, I know I would
have not stayed in nursing and certainly would not
be writing a Pathophysiology book!
I love to make difficult nursing concepts fun and
easy to understand! I believe that if students are
relaxed, they will learn and retain more information.
I’ve always said that nursing isn’t meant to be difficult:
it’s meant to be understood! My specialty is guiding
students to a true understanding of the “why” behind
nursing content. The more “why’s” you understand,
the more your application and critical thinking skills
will improve and then your test scores are going to go
up! YES! Knowing “why” is the key! You will see as
you read different content areas what I mean. I hope
you find this book easy and fun to read. At the same
time, I hope your study time is significantly
decreased.
I hope that this book helps you to achieve your
dream and makes your life a little easier in the
process. If I can point out what you need to focus
on as you go through Med-Surg; help you develop
a true understanding; save some time; and decrease
some of your stress . . . then my goal has been
met!
I would love to hear from you. You may visit me at
www.hurstreview.com to say “hello” or to learn more
about what we have available to help you. I hope you
like my work because I’m already working on many
more items to come. Spread the word!
Best of Luck,
Marlene Hurst
President, Hurst Review Services

Patofisiology of Disease 6th

One of Dr. Jack Lange's goals late in life was to add a pathophysiology text to the Lange series of unique basic and clinical books that have had such a great impact on health science education all over the world. Pathophysiology of Disease: An Introduction to Clinical Medicine is the result, and until he died in 1999, Dr. Lange was one of its editors. The goal of this book is outlined in the introductory chapter (Chapter 1)—to introduce students to clinical medicine by reviewing the pathophysiologic basis of the symptoms and signs of various common diseases.
The book has proved useful as a text for both pathophysiology and introduction to clinical medicine courses in medical schools, and it has been popular in similar courses in nursing schools and allied health programs. It is valuable to students early in their medical school years by highlighting the clinical relevance of their basic science courses and in preparation for their USMLE Step 1 examinations. The book is also helpful to students engaged in their internal medicine and surgery clerkships and to house officers as an up-to-date summary of relevant physiology and a source of key references. Practitioners (both internists and specialists who provide generalist care) will find it beneficial as a refresher text, designed to update their knowledge of the mechanisms underlying diseases. Nurses and other allied health practitioners have found that its concise format and broad scope facilitate their understanding of basic disease entities.
Pathophysiology of Disease has been translated into Spanish, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Greek, Turkish, Albanian, Portuguese, and Indonesian.
In preparation for this sixth edition, the editors and authors reviewed the entire book. There have been many revisions aimed at updating information, improving clarity, and eliminating minor errors. References have also been updated, with emphasis on valuable reviews. “Checkpoints,” collections of review questions, continue to appear throughout the chapters.

Patofisiology of Disease

One of Dr. Jack Lange's goals late in life was to add a pathophysiology text to the Lange series of unique basic and clinical books that have had such a great effect on health science education all over the world.

The goal of this book is outlined in the introductory chapter (Chapter 1)—to introduce students to clinical medicine by reviewing the physiologic basis of the symptoms and signs of various common diseases.

The book has proved useful as a text for introduction to clinical medicine courses in medical schools, and it has been popular in nursing schools and allied health programs. It should be valuable to students early in their medical school years by highlighting the clinical relevance of their basic science courses. It will also be useful to students engaged in their internal medicine and surgery clerkships and to house officers as an up-to-date summary of relevant physiology and a source of key references. Practitioners (both internists and specialists who provide generalist care) will find it useful as a refresher text designed to update their knowledge of the mechanisms underlying diseases. Nurses and other allied health practitioners will find that its concise format and broad scope facilitate their understanding of basic disease entries.

Pathophysiology of Disease has already been translated into Spanish, Italian, Chinese, and Japanese, while Greek and Turkish translations are under way. It is also available along with other Lange books on the Internet, at http://www.Accessmedicine.com, an online version of medical books developed by McGraw-Hill.

In preparation for this fifth edition, the editors and authors reviewed the entire book. There have been many revisions aimed at improving clarity, eliminating minor errors, and updating information. References have also been updated, with emphasis on valuable reviews. “Checkpoints,” collections of review questions, continue to appear throughout the chapters. Each chapter ends with a collection of clinical cases. These give students an opportunity to test their understanding of the pathophysiology of each clinical entity discussed and to apply their knowledge to individual clinical situations. Detailed analyses of the cases appear in Chapter 25.

With the publication of this fifth edition, the editors want to extend special thanks to the contributors and to the students and colleagues who offered helpful comments and criticisms. We are also indebted to Mary McCoy for an excellent editing job.
