Description
Essentials of Rubin's Pathology, Fifth Edition is a condensed version of Rubin's widely acclaimed pathology text, targeted to students in allied health fields, including dentistry, nursing, physical therapy, and occupational therapy.

Essentials extracts key information on pathogenesis, epidemiology, and clinical features of diseases and contains over 800 schematic illustrations and photographs derived from Rubin's Pathology.
A companion Website will offer the fully searchable online text, case studies, audio review questions, Podcasts, and an image bank and test generator for faculty.

FIFTH EDITION HIGHLIGHTS:
- "Pathogenesis" information is now featured in boxes to help students locate and focus on this important content
- New content including bioterrorism, emerging diseases, and stem cell research
- New high-resolution full-color pathology images
--
POSITIONING ESSENTIALS AGAINST BIG RUBIN TEXT:
- As with big text, pathogenesis is emphasized, with molecular detail included when relevant
- Important material from parent text retained in general pathology chapters
- Systemic pathology chapters are shortened by omitting uncommon diseases, unless they demonstrate a useful general point in pathogenesis, and by leaving out clinical and therapeutic details. Extensive material on normal anatomy and histology was also omitted.
- Chapters updated with the latest information in rapidly-changing areas such as vasculitis and rheumatoid arthritis
