PRINCIPLES OF PULMONARY MEDICINE (PRINT PLUS ONLINE)

DESCRIPTION

With an emphasis on thepathophysiologic basis of pulmonary disease, Principles of PulmonaryMedicine, 7th Edition, by Drs. Steven E Weinberger, Barbara A Cockrill, and Jess Mandel,provides a superbly illustrated introduction to this fast-changing field. This essential text employs a concise and understandableapproach, integrating clinical topics with underlying physiologic, pathophysiologic, and basic scienceconcepts critical for medical students, trainees, and thoselooking for a practical update on both acuteand chronic pulmonary diseases
