The 10th edition of Porth’s Pathophysiology: Concepts of Altered Health Statescontinues a legacy of excellence by providing comprehensive; nursing-focused coverage designed to help grasp both the physical and psychological aspects of altered health.  The book’s unique emphasis on concepts of altered health states; as opposed to factual descriptions of diseases and disorders; helps students grasp both the physical and psychological aspects of altered health.  The Tenth Edition maintains its comprehensive depth with over 1;100 illustrations to show students the complex pathophysiology. In addition; over 40 advanced 3D narrated animations that address the most clinically relevant and difficult to understand disorders; engaging unit-opening case studies that reinforce critical thinking and set the tone for the content to come; and a wide range of built-in study tools.  Porth’s Pathophysiology: Concepts of Altered Health States is designed to make pathophysiology an exciting exploration that relates normal body functioning to the physiologic changes that occur as a result of disease; as well as the body’s remarkable ability to compensate for these changes. Indeed; it is these changes that represent the signs and symptoms of disease. Students develop a strong understanding of pathophysiology concepts with the easy-to-follow narrative that builds concepts on one another; defines words as content is presented; and reviews concepts from physiology; biochemistry; physics; and other sciences along the way.
