Fundamentos de Fisiopatologia

by Carol Mattson Porth

Esta 3 edicion de Fundamentos de Fisiopatologia, basada en la 8 edicion de Fisiopatologia, ha sido preparado especificamente para aquellos estudiantes que no necesitan disponer de informacion con el nivel de detalle y extension que proporciona el libro grande. Para realizar esta adaptacion solo se ha omitido la informacion que no se considera esencial, mientras que la informacion relevante se ha se reorganizado, revisado y condensado. Cada edicion se prepara con la idea de relacionar del modo mas claro posible la normalidad en el funcionamiento del cuerpo con los cambios asociados a la enfermedad, asi como presentar la notable capacidad del cuerpo para compensar estos cambios. El atractivo de la fisiologia reside en que integra todos los aspectos de la genetica humana, la biologia molecular y celular, la anatomia y fisiologia en un todo funcional que puede explicar los aspectos fisicos y psicologicos de cualquier alteracion de la salud. En esta linea de pensamiento, la seleccion de contenidos de esta obra cubre todos los problemas de salud mas comunes, incluidas las situaciones especiales en ninos, embarazadas, mujeres y ancianos. Aunque este es en primer lugar un libro de texto, tambien pretende ser una obra referencia que los estudiantes deberian poder utilizar en la practica, una vez finalizado el curso.

I read multiple chapters…not every chapter…maybe not even half of it 🫣
Didn’t keep my attention at all but very informative.
Highly recommend to anyone desiring to be a hypochondriac.
Spoiler Alert⚠️ ⚠️this book is exceptional at inciting fears of encephalopathy, myocardial infarction, and ESPECIALLY malignant tumors…however, none of these fears are likely to be justified.

I love the graphics; especially the diagrams. It’s nice to have them open while working in the lab, as you can compare what you see in the microscope with the photos and diagrams in the book. Heavy hardback book, but worth viewing the graphic if you are learning processes and positive and negative feedback loops, such as angiotensin, aldosterone, renin system or immunology processes. Cellular organelle physiology and function of each organelle in the meiosis and mitosis processes are so easy to learn with such vivid and large graphics; especially if your a visual or hands on learner.

As far as text books go, it has a lot of information. I do have a question about one thing in particular.

On page 282, under Red Cell Life Span and Destruction, towards the end of the first paragraph where reference is made to the size of red cells. I think there is a typo in the units. Should it not be micrometers (Greek letter mu) instead of millimeters (mm)?

"Porth" is one of the mainstays of my medical education. It's a step or two above the typical college A&P text, but surprisingly well-done. The concepts are sometimes difficult, but the language is clear.

It was a bit dense in places, but appreciated the review from chapter to chapter as well as references back to previously covered material when appropriate.
Nursing implications were implied rather than stated outright in most places.
Excellent use of graphics and photos to illustrate concepts.

This is my favorite Pathophysiology textbook. I learned so much with regard to alterations of human pathology and the subsequent manifestations pertaining thereto.
