Description
The book, coordinated and directed by Dr. Raúl Uribe Olivares, has the collaboration of 31 authors from various Mexican universities, as well as from various Latin American countries. Among them, it is worth highlighting the presence of Dr. Mario Dvorkin, renowned author and one of the best specialists in cardiovascular and hand surgery belonging to the University of Buenos Aires in Argentina. The text has been structured in three main parts: 1-Introduction. 2- Pathophysiology of symptoms and signs. 3- Pathophysiology of the most common syndromes. Throughout all chapters, the knowledge of how the organism defends itself against a pathogen has been prioritized and how these mechanisms translate into the appearance of symptoms and signs, obtaining as a consequence, a text aimed more at understanding basic processes than at clinical diagnosis. The work contains a total of 69 chapters which include the anatomophysiological and pathophysiological bases of each of the signs, symptoms and syndromes. The chapters that are dedicated to the most common syndromes include a commented clinical case. Work especially aimed at students of the degrees of Medicine, and other degrees of Health Sciences, although it will also be useful for resident doctors or in their first years of practice.
