In this little volume the
author has endeavored to portray disease as life under conditions which differ
from the usual. Life embraces much that is unknown and in so far as disease is a
condition of living things it too presents many problems which are insoluble
with our present knowledge.
This lecture note provides a comprehensive overview of human
pathology with emphasis on mechanisms of disease and diagnostic medicine. Topics
covered includes: Cellular Mechanisms of Disease, Molecular Pathology, Pathology
of Major Organ Systems, Review of Diagnostic Tools from Traditional Surgical
Pathology to Diagnostic Spectroscopy, Functional and Molecular Imaging,
Molecular Diagnostics.
