Updated to keep pace with the many changes in the field, Crowley's An Introduction to Human Disease: Pathology and Pathophysiology Correlations, Eleventh Edition provides readers with a clear, well-illustrated explanation of the structural and functional changes associated with disease, the clinical manifestations of disease, and how to determine treatment. It reflects current information on the pathenogenesis of infectious disease and how changes in the genome are expressed as disease. The first chapters of the text discuss general concepts and diseases affecting the body as a whole. Later chapters consider the various organ systems and their diseases. The Eleventh Edition includes new content on COVID-19, Zika virus, brain eating amoebas, plus mini podcasts to address difficult concepts such as cancer and the use of microscope slides.Each new print copy includes Navigate Advantage Access that unlocks a comprehensive and interactive eBook with animations, student practice activities and assessments, a full suite of instructor resources, and learning analytics reporting tools.
Since Dr. Crowley last updated the Ninth Edition there was an increased emphasis on how changes in the genome are expressed as disease and the new authors did a very heavy 10th edition revision covering the larger role in both diagnosis and therapy. While Dr. Crowley's organization of the text was preserved, starting with six general chapters followed by chapters on organ systems and their diseases, more information was provided on the cellular and molecular roots of disease. Because of the heavy revision done for the 10th edition, the focus on the 11th edition will be on addressing any missing information as identified by the reviewers and solidifying the product package and adding mini video lectures that the author is creating. however, in some instances, the authors did raise the level of content a bit too high so they will be evaluating these areas as identified by reviewers"--
