Most Commons in Pathology and Laboratory Medicine by Edward F. Goljan MD

This handy, pocket-sized resource features tabular lists of the most common causes, complications, manifestations, symptoms, and sites of specific elements in pathology and laboratory medicine. Because it integrates the basic science and clinical aspects of pathology and lab medicine, it is useful for both clinical rotations as well as courses in pathology and other basic sciences. And, its tabular format and focus on the most essential information make it an ideal review for examination. Covers topics such as nutrition, environmental pathology, and cell injury, as well as pathology of each body system. Defines disease processes to help readers build a solid base of understanding. Fully integrates the basic and clinical sciences to synthesize material covered in the first two years of training and the practical situations encountered in clinical rotations. Includes one USMLE-style review question in every table to help readers assess their knowledge of the material. Features a chapter on Fluids and Hemodynamics that provides detailed guidance on recognition and differentiation within this commonly misunderstood area.
