I've used both Huether/McCance and the past two editions of the Gould text. As a U of Utah school of med alum, have to be nice to the Huether McCance team as it is a reference quality text that remains, well, reference quality, but for the beginning student in pathophys who may be years out of A and P, just too daunting and detailed. For those students Gould is a much better match IME as it provides some of the most coherent reviews of A and P available anywhere, while providing a solid foundation in Patho. For a master's level class, go with H/M; undergrads I believe are better served by the Gould text.(PS: Been teaching patho to nsg students for five years)
This is my textbook for graduate level pathophysiology. It is not a "fun" read but it is such a great collection of information. I have the study guide too. I would suggest this to any student health professional looking to gain a matter of fact vocabulary and concise understanding of human pathophysiology in the health care setting.
My two biggest complaints about this text is that it glosses over complex topics that are NECESSARY for understanding pathophysiology, and that it takes the same disease process/ topic and describes it *just slightly* in different ways in different parts of the text- enough to make you wonder if you are missing information or do not understand it fully. I found myself using other sources/ textbooks for the course. The book wastes space repeating the same symptoms for diseases (within a group)- when that space would be better utilized with more depth. It would be simple enough to say the following diseases X,Y,Z share this common symptomology/ process/ etiology etc. Some of the depths concerns are, for example: How do you write an entire chapter on electrolyte balance/ homeostasis and not mention the RAAS? There is no mention of transcription factors- but that is the target of some drugs, not to mention cell signaling.There are also errors peppered throughout- some of which my professor stated that she emailed about last year and the errors have not changed. And the Evolve modules that go with the text are FULL of contradictions. My school won't be using it again so there goes my shot at getting some money back for this text.
Rent this on your Kindle, and if you have a Windows 10 computer and can get the Kindle App on it, DO IT and use it through there. It will make your life so much easier!! You won't have to lug a big textbook around, you can still highlight, flag and bookmark pages, and bonus of making flashcards throughout!! I did that this semester and it has changed my life for the better. And when the rental is up they just take it off your Kindle!!
Book is brand new, fast shipping. I took one star off only because the bookbinding seems a bit poor on the first few pages, which makes me wonder if it is the original publish or not. If there is an option to take of 0.5 star, I would leave a 4.5 stars. Overall, good books, very good for patho study.
It's a pathophysiology textbook among a sea full of pathophysiology textbooks. There's really nothing exceptional about it. It gives some great general information about disorders and diseases, but doesn't go into much detail. It feels like it tries to cram as much information in as little of a page count as possible. It's more of an overview than anything else. It has served its purpose for my pathophysiology class, but beyond that I don't see much use for it in a clinical setting.
Very informational comprehensive book. Learning a lot from it so far!
Very basic and cursory.
