Pulmonary pathophysiology - Gerard J. Criner MD

Pulmonary Pathophysiology is one of six titles in the new Pathophysiology Series from Fence Creek Publishing.

This series was designed to meet the second– and third–year medical student’s needs for a concise but comprehensive resource that focuses on organ system pathophysiology. These texts cover the pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and management of common diseases, using a unique format that includes the following features:

• One or more clinical cases integrated throughout the chapters to foster direct application of clinical problem–solving skills.


• Extensive use of margin notes to concisely highlight important concepts, define key terms, and pinpoint clinical correlations.


• Questions at the end of each chapter, using the NBME format, to offer a means for accurate self–assessment.


• Wide margins to accommodate note–taking by students as they study.
