Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a systematic study of disease for medical students. It begins with an introduction to pathology and a discussion of the general principles of hypertrophy and atrophy. The author demonstrates how hypertrophy, the morbid enlargement of organs, results from increased nutrition and blood supply, while atrophy, their decrease in size, stems from an imbalance favoring waste over nutrition. The book further explores morbid alterations in shape, consistency, texture, and relative position, providing a comprehensive overview of the pathological changes that manifest in the solid components of the body. The author's insights lay the foundation for understanding the mechanisms underlying disease and pave the way for in-depth exploration of specific ailments in subsequent chapters.
