Review: This book presents a collection of example case studies that require integrated thinking in the areas of physiology, pathophysiology and pharmacy. The text is intended as a supplement to pharmacy courses; each case is followed by a set of questions, the answers to which can be obtained by teachers of the course. The cases are grouped and are designed to test the student's understanding of cellular physiology, the nervous system, the endocrine system, muscle physiology, the cardiovascular system, the respiratory system, the digestive system, the renal system, and the immune system. An appendix provides information on diagnostic tests and there is also a useful glossary. The book is aimed at first-year pharmacy students.
