Biochemistry Behind the Symptoms takes a problem-based approach to understanding and applying biochemistry for superior clinical outcomes. Organized around the common symptoms encountered by clinicians, this engaging text clarifies the connections between foundational science and clinical manifestations to help users form confident diagnoses throughout their clerkship and beyond. Each chapter explores the biochemical concepts behind underlying causes and demonstrates their ties to presenting symptoms through 5 realistic patient cases. Accompanying questions encourage discussion and guide users in building accurate differential diagnoses. Ideal for peer-to-peer learning environments or independent study, this practical approach strengthens users' application of fundamental knowledge and ensures the long-term retention essential to clinical success. 50 Patient Cases emphasize the biochemical concepts behind common patient symptoms through problem-based learning. Clinical Impression sections encourage critical thinking and train students step by step in building effective differential diagnoses. Basic Science Correlations in each Patient Case clarify the biochemical concepts underlying diagnosis with an engaging question-and-answer format. High-Yield Concepts summarized after each Patient Case reinforce students' comprehension of essential chapter concepts. Digital Animations immerse students in biochemical processes to enrich their understanding and diagnostic confidence.

Este enfoque es ideal tanto para entornos de aprendizaje colaborativo entre alumnos como para estudio independiente, fortalece la aplicación de conocimientos fundamentales y asegura una retención a largo plazo, esencial para el éxito clínico.

Your body ... the food you eat ... the environment around you ... whether it be insidious organisms or deleterious chemicals, there are things among us that can quietly turn our serene life into horrors of despair. Within your hands is an anthology of nightmarish and inconceivable horrors in which foreign entities bring the world around them to a halt. Mutations, death, and famine! The destructive apocalypse! People decomposing before the eyes of their neighbors while others turn into a host for parasitic beings!

Sometimes wicked people do wicked things simply because they can... The twelve stories in Wicked Deeds tell tales of witches and warlocks with ill intent, devilish demons bent on destruction, and other doers of evil who make the world a terrifying place. What is a mother to do when her daughter is gifted but lives under the thumb of her fanatical preacher husband who will brook no talk of the supernatural? What of a demon so desperate to free himself of a trap that he will force another to repeat his atrocities and condemn a young boy to his demonic fate? Or maybe the story of a crotchety old witch with a score to settle against the town she lives in is more to your liking - what evil will the seemingly harmless town-crazy call upon when faced with an ultimatum? If you're looking for wicked people with supernatural abilities doing wicked things, this is the collection for you!

Inside a small cupboard at the top of the stairs during a Christmas game of hide and seek, five-year-old Alex Crane listens to her cousins as they dance downstairs chanting, 'Poo face! Poo face!'
