Diseases Textbook Pdf Download

Purpose: Confounding of racial, socioeconomic, and behavioral characteristics may lead to the misidentification of race as a risk factor for certain diseases. The authors evaluated the validity of attributing race as a risk factor in a widely used pathology textbook.

Method: In 2009-2010, the authors searched Robbins and Cotran Pathologic Basis of Disease, Professional Edition (8th ed) for assertions that African Americans have a different disease profile than do individuals of other races. They evaluated the references cited in the textbook, assessing the quality of the sources and whether those authors controlled for confounding variables, such as socioeconomic status and behavioral characteristics. For statements that remained unconfirmed, the authors searched the literature for evidence supporting or contradicting the claims made in the textbook. The authors classified each statement from the textbook as supported, unconfirmed, or contradicted.

Conclusions: About two-thirds of the assertions that different risk factors exist for African Americans found in a widely used pathology textbook could not be supported by the published literature. Failure to separate race from other socioeconomic and behavioral characteristics as risk factors for certain diseases may contribute to the misdiagnosis of patients and interfere with efforts to identify and remove causes of health disparities.

This full color textbook provides veterinary students and veterinarians in the US with an overview of transboundary and emerging animal diseases, their routes of introduction and spread, and the role of state, national, and international agencies in controlling these diseases. It includes disease fact sheets, annotated images and reference charts.

The textbook is divided into 2 main parts; general and special medicine. The first part consists of 15 chapters. The general and basic principles of large animal medicine are covered in the 1st, 2nd, and 4th chapters of this part. The 3rd chapter covers diseases and disorders of the newborns. The rest of the chapters discuss the different diseases and disorders that can affect each body system. Most of those chapters start with 4 key and important topics. Those are principles and manifestations of the system dysfunction, special examination of the system, as well as principles of treatment and control of the diseased organ system.

The 2nd part of this textbook consists of 21 chapters that discuss diseases based on etiology. Those include diseases associated with bacteria, viruses, chlamydia, prions, rickettsiales, algae, fungi, protozoa, helminth parasites, arthropod parasites, metabolic causes, nutritional deficiencies, physical agents, inorganic and farm chemicals, toxins in plants, fungi, cyanobacteria, clavibacteria, insects and animals, and allergy, as well as diseases associated with the inheritance of undesirable characters, and specific diseases of uncertain etiology. Each entity covers the different aspects of the individual disease process including etiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical findings, clinical pathology, necropsy findings, diagnostic confirmation, differential diagnosis treatment, and control. In addition, each disease entity begins with a helpful synopsis box that provides a brief and quick review of the disease and highlights important facts. This makes important and key information easy to find and access.

In addition to the numerous clinically relevant tables and illustrations that are embedded throughout the text, this textbook concludes with helpful tables containing conversion factors, reference laboratory values, drug doses and dosing intervals for horses, ruminants, and swine. The index is accurate and appropriately cross-referenced.

This textbook includes 70 chapters contributed by an exceptional group of experts in all areas of hepato-pancreato-biliary diseases, bringing a multi-disciplinary approach to treatments. The book is designed to cover all aspects of the liver and pancreatic anatomy and pathology, as well as therapy. The topics are comprehensively reviewed, and as well as summarizing the previous works, the authors provide discussions of practice-changing techniques and approaches to therapy of HBP cancers. Treating the diseases in hepato-pancreato-biliary regions is particularly difficult due to the complex anatomy, aggressive biological behavior, and poor prognosis. Therefore, ample illustrations are included to tackle these challenges.

The IASGO Textbook of Multi-Disciplinary Management of Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Diseases aims to update the academic and non-academic medical professionals, such as surgeons, radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, gastroenterologists, interventional radiologists, radiologists, basic scientists. In collaboration with the International Association of Surgeons, Gastroenterologists and Oncologists (IASGO), delivers a valuable and well-organized textbook for medical professionals.

Benjamin Rush believed that mental diseases were caused by irritation of the blood vessels in the brain.
