About this ebook
The Understanding Pathophysiology (7th Edition) by Sue E. Huether, Kathryn L. McCance, and Valentina L. Brashers is structured into two main parts covering 44 total chapters. The text bridges the gap between basic foundational cell mechanics and clinical systemic disease presentations across the lifespan. [1, 2, 3, 4]
The primary topics and units covered in this edition include:
Part One: Basic Concepts of Pathophysiology
  • Unit 1: The Cell
    • Cellular Biology: Cellular structure, function, and metabolic processes.
    • Genetics & Epigenetics: Basic mechanisms of gene expression, mutation inheritance patterns, and disease.
    • Altered Cellular Biology: Cellular adaptation, injury mechanisms (such as hypoxia, oxidative stress), and necrosis.
    • Fluid, Electrolyte, and Acid-Base Balance: Physical and chemical dynamics across body systems. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
  • Unit 2: Mechanisms of Self-Defense
    • Innate and Adaptive Immunity: Inflammation, wound healing, and immunological defense mechanisms.
    • Alterations in Immunity: Hypersensitivity, allergies, and autoimmune diseases.
    • Infection and Defects in Defense: Pathophysiology of infectious disease proliferation. [1, 2, 3, 4]
  • Unit 3: Cellular Proliferation: Cancer
    • Cancer biology, epidemiology, clinical manifestations, and treatments. [1]
  • Unit 4: Stress and Disease
    • The neuroendocrine response to stress and its systemic disease impacts. [1]
Part Two: Systemic Alterations (Adult and Pediatric Lifespans)
The bulk of the text covers the structural mechanisms, clinical manifestations, evaluation, and treatments of disorders within specific body systems. Most systems include specialized, separate sub-chapters detailing pediatric alterations: [1, 2, 3]
  • The Neurological System: Stroke, epilepsy, neurodegenerative diseases, pain perception, and pediatric brain/spinal cord issues.
  • The Endocrine System: Diabetes mellitus, thyroid disorders, obesity, nutritional disorders, and pediatric endocrine abnormalities.
  • The Hematologic System: Anemias, clotting disorders, and childhood leukemias.
  • The Cardiovascular System: Atherosclerosis, hypertension, heart failure, and congenital heart defects.
  • The Pulmonary System: Asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), pulmonary embolisms, and pediatric respiratory distress.
  • The Renal and Urological Systems: Kidney failure, urinary tract obstructions, and childhood congenital renal abnormalities.
  • The Reproductive System: Sexually transmitted infections, cancers, and reproductive dysfunction across genders.
  • The Digestive System: Gastrointestinal dysfunction (GERD, IBD, liver disease), malabsorption, and pediatric digestive issues.
  • The Musculoskeletal System: Fractures, bone densities, arthritis, and muscular dystrophy in adults and children.
  • The Integumentary System: Structure, function, burns, skin cancers, and dermatological conditions unique to children. [1, 2, 3, 4]
