La terza edizione del libro Patologia generale e Fisiopatologia generale di Pontieri risulta aggiornata nei contenuti e nei dati, arricchita con una più impressiva iconografia ed ampliata nel numero dei quesiti a risposta multipla. Il manuale si rivolge agli studenti dei Corsi di Laurea triennali in Professioni sanitarie e ha l'obiettivo di permettere ai Corsi di Laurea in Professioni sanitarie di inserire nel mondo del lavoro operatori sanitari che assumano il ruolo di responsabili collaboratori dei medici e non quello di esecutori, sia pure abili, delle loro direttive. Sotto questo aspetto, lo studio dell’eziopatogenesi delle alterazioni fondamentali delle strutture e delle funzioni e dei meccanismi di controllo ai vari livelli di integrazione dell’organismo, che costituisce il corpus doctrinae della Patologia generale, rappresenta lo stimolo più efficace perché la mente del giovane si abitui a chiedersi il “perché” ed il “come” origini quella deviazione della norma che costituisce il fatto patologico.

L'edizione si presenta aggiornata ai progressi scientifici degli ultimi anni e la nuova veste grafica a quattro colori, che so
