Robbins & Cotran Pathologic Basis of Disease, Seventh Edition

I bought a cheap older patho book last summer to brush up on patho - got this text in the fall when classes started. This text is miles ahead of the other and was extremely helpful in understanding detail in depth to fill in the blanks from lecture. I was thinking recently, that I would look up and and read in this text every condition I encounter in practice for a long while to put things in context. This text is so great I think this exercise will make me a much better NP. Only thing that would improve this text would be handheld version!

I absolutely LOVE this book! I know some people are intimidated by the sheer size/thickness of it, but it really is an excellently written book. Detailed yes, but very easy to read. If you're still scared of the text, the pictures alone are reason enough to buy it. Waaaay better than any pathology board review book in my opinion.

This is a great book (series of books). I bought this for pathology along with the pocket guide, review of pathology, and atlas. All of the books correlate together well as long as you have the most current editions. They all bring something great to the table. This bog book is amazing. The text is clear and there are great pictures and it is a great pathology book for medical students. I would imagine it would serve excellently in any other health care discipline too. I highly recommend this book and the other mentioned books too.

I don't have much to add that others haven't already mentioned. This book is outstanding, and Robbins and Cotran Review of Pathology, Second Edition is absolutely essential as well. There is room for improvement, though. On many occasions, the clinical presentation of diseases reads more like a list and could really use some explanation as to why these symptoms occur. It makes for less memorizing and more understanding. Also, the authors can be quite verbose on a particular pathogenesis when a simple diagram would be easier to understand and more efficient. Finally, the chapter outline at the beginning of each chapter could use some page numbers that tell you exactly where to find specific information within the chapter. Some of these chapters are nearly 100 pages long with 20 different topics, and I can't understand how none of the editors thought that page numbers in the chapter outline would be a good idea. Other than those minor complaints, this book is absolutely top notch.

the book is great, really it is just what i needed. about the shipping however, it arrived much earlier than expected which is good, but, the spine of the book was quite damaged because the box it was packed into was too big for it and i guess it kept sliding around and getting bumped. This is an expensive book and i think that the packaging should at least ensure it arrives to the owner in mint condition.

In my opinion this is one of the best Pathology books out there in the market. It contains a vast amount of information on pathological diseases and their origin affecting our world today. I highly recommend this book as a reference and a guide to understanding medical phenomena and break throughs for anyone interested in the medical field.

What can I say....it's a must and a basic. I bought this one recently because it's way cheaper than the 8th edition and on top of that also basically the same besides i knew the 9th was coming out and it just did. Getting the 9th edition soon.

Has most conditions and diseases identified, may be indexed better to easier find categories / types of diseases and pathology.

Deswegen studiert man Medizin. Natürlich kein Lehrbuch für die Klausuren oder die Examina. Aber das ist ist die pathologische Basis der Medizin. Genauso mag es Bücher geben von denen man behaupten kann "das ist Literatur" oder Bücher "das ist Analysis" (vlt der Häuser?) Cool wäre ein entsprechendes (nicht rein deskriptives) Psychopathologie-Buch -> hier a.e. z.B. Well's metakognitive Therapie und das S-REF

現在、病理学を専門としています。 学生時代にも購入して読んでいましたが、7th editionになり、再購入しました。 やはり読みやすく、レイアウトもわかりやすいです。 さらにインターネット時代を反映して(笑)、内容をいつでもどこでもコンピュータ上で確認できる点もお勧めですね。 さらに、学生さんにもぜひこの本を読んでほしいのは、時々目を通すだけでも医学英語に対してなれるという副産物もあるからです。 読破しようと思わないで、辞書代わり、英語の勉強代りにお読みになることをお勧めします。

病理学総論・各論を網羅した最もよい本といえる。日本語の教科書も多数でているが、まだまだRobbinsにはかなわないと思う。 改訂もよくされるので、新しい情報も含まれている。もちろんめずらしい疾患などは記載がないこともあるが、basicな部分はまったく問題ない。図譜は他の本で補うもよし、同じRobbinsで出ているAtlasでもよいと思う。Review of pathologyを併用するとさらに学習に効果的。現役になると他にも必要な教科書が多数あるが、一冊にまとまっていて、全体が俯瞰でき、しかも通読可能なのはRobbinsだと思います。

This provides a deep understanding of various pathological conditions. I purchased it as a reference book, and it seems great, even though it is an older edition.
