Boyd's Introduction to the Study of Disease

The Eleventh Edition of Boyd's Introduction to the Study of Disease now contains a substantial amount of material in the appendices--condensing the material in the text--making it a great resource for the student already familiar with normal physiology and essential biology. New to this edition is information on: the cytoskeleton, care of the patient, HIV virus and AIDS, aging, Helicobacter and gastric ulcer, changes in infectious disease patterns, oncogenes and cancer, cytokines, and the eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome. There is also data on changing patterns in breast and gastric cancer, as well as epidemiological shifts in heart attacks, strokes, streptococcal disease, measles, and other common diseases.George F. Sheldon is the author of 'Boyd's Introduction to the Study of Disease', published 1992 under ISBN 9780812115611 and ISBN 0812115619.
