A Textbook of Pathology is designed for students following a diagnostic or primary health care profession and has been written specifically for health science students. By relating pathology to disease processes, changes in the body, and signs and symptoms, students can build an understanding of the cause of disease as it presents in the clinical setting. Covering general and systemic pathology, the author takes a practical look at the investigation of disease, and brings an innovative approach to the study of pathology. A review of basic anatomy and physiology at the beginning of each chapter provides an excellent preparation to the related pathology, and the study of pathophysiological processes help the reader to bridge the gap between the structural and functional changes that occur in disease. The exploration of clinical features of key conditions allows the student to relate the condition and its underlying pathology to the living patient, while the inclusion of pathology test results and symptomatology tables assist in the assessment and interpretation of data for diagnosis and provide a contextual link to the study of disease that helps students understand the relevance of pathology to their health profession. Students can also enhance their learning experience and test their understanding through an engaging and comprehensive electronic learning resource that supports the text.
This book is being written to replace Pathology for the Health Sciences (1994) published by Macmillan Education. This book describes scientifically the nature of disease, looking at its causes and its effects. Characteristics of disease such as tissue changes, organ dysfunction and whole body effects are contrasted with signs and symptoms in the patient.
It is this which makes the book relevant for students following a diagnostic or primary health care practitioner profession. It gives important information of disease processes, changes in the body, diagnosis, symptoms and signs, treatment and prognosis of disease. The author looks at disease from a clinical perspective and its usefulness to the student is increased by the practical approach it takes to investigation of disease, whether it be in a diagnostic, clinical or treatment discipline.

Omega-3 Benefits
Omega 3 is a fatty acid, critical for your mental health and there are three types: ALA α-linolenic acid which can be found in oily plants or seeds like sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, coconut oil, EPA polyunsaturated fatty acid found in fish oil and DHA docosahexaenoic acid found in algae and fish oil. Scientifically omega-3 has lots of benefits, let`s go together through all the advantages:
1.Cancer. Cancer is a very common illness this century, sad, but true, it`s a disease which can eat you inside out, damage everything in its way. Omega-3 fatty acids help you fight against this disease, combined with a healthy diet and sport, it just improves the quality of life and actively reduces the risk of developing breast cancer and prostate cancer.
2.Cardiovascular disease and diabetes. It is proven that omega-3 prevents you from getting all types of vascular diseases and also stroke. Oil fish lowers the blood pressure, stimulates the blood pressure, reduces the blood triglycerides which can prevent you develop any diabetes.
3.Inflammation. Omega -3 fatty acids have a great power of controlling the inflammation, it`s a good anti-inflammatory substance and a sedative. By lowering the inflammation markers in the blood can help calming down the joint/ bones/ muscle pain. It is used in combination with painkillers and herbal supplements mostly to keep calm your pain faster and as mentioned in point #1 helps to improve the quality of life.
4.Developmental disabilities. Children might have difficulties with development disabilities, Omega 3 gives you an iron immune system, and it`s actively used to heal autism and ADHD. Scientist proved that EPA could actively help with ADHD, but doesn`t replace the treatment itself, it needs to be used as a supplement.
5.Birth and pregnant women. ALA and DHA have a tiny benefit to avoid early delivery. There is no reliable study behind this, makes me be a bit skeptical, but as every supplement, it just helps your body and it is proven that omega-3 fatty acid doesn`t harm the birth.
6.Mental health. We all know that omega-3 “feeds” the brain; a well-taken care brain can keep you away from mental diseases, as long as your life is balanced. This fatty acid is used as a supplement (plus the regular treatment) for depression and anxiety as well as bipolar disorder. There is a low chance that omega-3 can prevent developing psychotics.
7.Omega-3 keeps your brain young and healthy (cognitive aging), stops getting Alzheimer disease and dementia.
8.Prevents you getting asthma, allergic rhinoconjunctivitis and keeps your skin healthy.
Overall omega-3 fatty acid is an excellent supplement, it prevents certain diseases (as mentioned in the points above), but bear in mind that it cannot be used as a treatment without using the medicine prescribed by your GB.
Together with a healthy balanced diet, exercise, omega-3 is great. Also, if you don`t like pills/ supplements, omega-3 can be found in nature (fish oil, and vegetable oils).
