BRS Pathology (Board Review Series) 5th Edition (2014) (PDF) by Philip A. Szanto

Description

This revised fifth edition is an excellent pathology review for students preparing for the USMLE Step 1 and course examinations. Written in the popular Board Review Series outline format, this text covers general and basic pathology, major concepts of disease processes, and systemic pathology that surveys the principal disorders of each organ system through concise descriptions and full-color illustrations. USMLE-style questions at the end of each chapter emphasize board-relevant information and allow for self-testing to confirm strengths and uncover areas of weakness. Plus, the comprehensive exam at the end of the book is a great prep tool for the actual exam!

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Alright med students of the world let me tell you about 1 of the billions of study books out there. This is a really good pathology book so far. I like how there are words that follow the diseases, and what I mean by that is that it is not just an outline book like Goljian or First Aid. There are also review questions that are nice but I don’t think they quite match up with Robbins question book but none-the-less any question is better than no question.So why and and how you should use this book:-This is a great book to review or read ahead for class instead of trying to read Big Robbins or Baby Robbins (unless you have loads of time, want to be a pathologist or masochist).-As I mentioned before there are more words than First aid and Goljian which is helpful to learn from instead of just reviewing.-You know First Aid is going to have errors in it and this book is no exception but BRS has a better track record of having good detailed information that is correct.-This book does not have a lot of labs and graphs to reference so don’t expect to use this like you could Goljian for Pathophysiology.

⭐This book breaks down every disease and highlights key concepts. Great for figuring out where to focus your study efforts!

⭐As a second year med student, there are a few books I would call ‘essential’ for boards preparation and great references for classes. BRS Physiology, Clinical Microbiology Made Ridiculously Simple, First Aid and BRS Pathology are, hands down, the four top books I would consider essential when studying for boards step I. This book came fast and on time, and was appropriately packaged. At first, I thought that the one layer of bubble packaging, with no plastic wrap over the book, was questionable. But it appeared to keep the desired “new book” look and feel, and there was no travel shipping damage to the covers or spines. Though this book is still a “thicker” type of review book, I believe it adequately hits all of the necessities you need to know for pathology – at least to pass class and standardized board exams! The author does extremely well describing and breaking down different pathologies, and helps explain differences in certain conditions which sound the same. In comparison to the 1,400 physiology textbook required for class, this BRS review by Schnieder hits the most important topics – clinical pearls, if you will – that are hidden within the thousands of pages of text. As medical students, I feel like we know remembering every single term and bit of information from day one of school is nearly impossible. But, this review book helps instill the most essential information you need to remember. The formatting is easy to follow, and the images appropriately build on what is described in text. The review questions following each section are great to test your ability to recall the information you just learned. Even though this book does not make it any easier to remember which –oma type pathology you have, it does help break everything down! And, if you put in enough time, I have no doubt you can fly through the pathology on your exams. It is DEFINITELY worth the purchase.

⭐BRS Pathology is a pretty good book. There is a total of 24 chapters including a chapter on interpretation of diagnostic lab tests. Each chapter begins with a short reading that is organized very well with major headers. The separation of subheaders/topics is also visually very clean. Key topics are notated with an orange key icon.The book is soft cover but the paper is thick and of high quality. There are numerous images of patients, H&E (or other special stains) microphotographs, gross images, and tables/charts throughout each chapter. The questions at the end of each chapter are well written and contain good hints that guide you to the correct answer. Each answer at the end of the chapter is clearly explained why it is or is not the correct answer, and it also provides a brief explanation on why the other answers were incorrect.All in all, this is a good book to have around.

⭐This book is a lifesaver when you don’t have time to read Robbins Pathology before a test. It highlights most of the subject areas and gives you the general points, where as Robbins can get lost in the details. Beware though, sometimes entire subjects are skipped in this book from the newest edition of Robbins, so don’t be surprised if you don’t remember reading something in BRS and it was asked on a test.

⭐Purchase went well and item arrived fast, all as expected!I’m leaving 5 stars but I’m not paid for this nor do I get items for free.

⭐Great as a path review for boards and exams while in the class with practice questions and explanations in back

⭐Excellent

⭐VERY USEFUL FOR REVISION.

⭐Ich habe diese Buch gebraucht gekauft, der Zustand war wie neu ich war sehr zufrieden. Des Weiteren hat mir dieses Buch sehr bei meiner Vorbereitung auf das Pathologie Examen gehoefeb, da es sehr gut strukturiert ist.
