Textbook of Small Animal Pathophysiology
Wiley-Blackwell (Verlag)
978-1-119-82461-9 (ISBN)
»Textbook of Small Animal Pathophysiology« provides a complete and accessible overview of disease mechanisms and pathophysiological consequences in the field of small animal medicine. The text focuses on the relationship between pathophysiology and disease of any etiology to aid better diagnostics and targeted therapy.
The text includes general pathophysiology of key organ systems such as cardiac, respiratory, gastrointestinal, neural, and more. Core information such as diagnostic methods and therapeutic options is presented in tabular form and clear full-color illustrations are featured throughout to aid in seamless reader comprehension.
Written by a highly qualified professional with significant firsthand experience in the field, »Textbook of Small Animal Pathophysiology« includes information on:
- Common pathological mechanisms, such as inflammation, sepsis and cytokine storm, fibrosis, degeneration, obesity, ischemia, hypoxia, cell death, apoptosis, necrosis, neoplasia, infection, ageing and pain
- General clinical manifestations, like abdominal enlargement, ataxia, constipation, cough, diarrhea, dyschezia, dysphagia, dyspnea, effusion, fatigue, fever, inappetence, jaundice, oedema, polyphagia, pruritus, regurgitation, seizure, shock, syncope, urinary disorders, vomitus, and weight loss
- Pathophysiology of organ systems cardiac system, hypertension, respiratory system, gastrointestinal system, hepatobiliary system, exocrine pancreas, urinary system, electrolyte system and acid-base balance, endocrine system, reproduction system, nerve system, joints, haematology and infectious diseases
Written to be a complete resource on the subject, »Textbook of Small Animal Pathophysiology« enables its readers to develop a clear understanding of how each disease works in order to improve decision making and patient outcomes. It is essential reading for veterinary students and a highly useful reference for small animal clinicians.
Stephan Neumann, Prof. Dr. med. vet., is Clinical Director of the Small Animal Clinic and apl. Prof. at the University of Göttingen, Germany.
