Pathology - by Victor R Preedy (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Pathology: Oxidative Stress and Dietary Antioxidants bridges the disciplinary knowledge gap to help advance medical sciences and provide preventative and treatment strategies for pathologists, health care workers, food scientists and nutritionists who have divergent skills. This is important as oxidative stress can be ameliorated with pharmacological, nutraceutical or natural agents. While pathologists and clinical workers understand the processes in disease, they are less conversant in the science of nutrition and dietetics. Conversely, nutritionists and dietitians are less conversant with the detailed clinical background and science of pathology. This book helps to fill those gaps.

Review Quotes

"The concept of a quick reference combining research in disease progression and disease prevention is very appealing and exciting to many scientists and healthcare workers in preventive care. The author thoroughly explains the pathology of oxidative stress and many diseases relevant to practicing healthcare workers, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, pulmonary diseases, and cancers. The chapters discussing the relationship between dietary antioxidants and diseases are very specific and may limit which areas of nutrition and medicine can find this textbook useful. A future edition focusing on specific diseases and antioxidant classes and categories would be beneficial to practicing healthcare workers." --Doody
