Úvod »Zahraničné medicínske knihy» Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology deals with the essential nature, origin, causes, development and the concequences of undesirable alternations in living organisms. Its basic objective is to analyse the altered functions of the diseased organism. Pathophysiology forms an important bridge between the fundamental subjects and the medical practice. It should summarize and synthetize almost all aspects of diseases at a higher level. The principles of pathopysiology form the basis for internal medicine and its practice.
