This book is good, because it has integrated different subjects, such as, physiology, pharmacology, pathology, etc. However, some of the high yield books including this one are becoming more like the "board review series", they are becoming too detailed. People won't sue them if those books miss a few details, people are reading this book and other high yield because they want to get the fundamental, basic idea. They don't want to read all the details.There are some mistakes and problems. I shall list them here, I am sure that the author or the publisher will read this.1. on page 281, it explains why some women have pink nipples, it has "in children and blonde individuals." The word blonde is certainly not correct. For one thing, there are women who dye their hair to blond, that doesn't mean that their nipples will become pink. Some white women don't have light skin while some Asians and Hispanics do have light skin. So the proper word should be light skinned individuals.2. Chapter 27: male reproductive system, on page 296, it actually included "female urethra" which should be put into the urinary system.3. some of the chapters are definitely too long. For example, urinary system starts at page 211, ends at page 241. For "proximal convoluted tubule," it has 12 important points, that is just too much. Can the author himself recite those 12 points himself?4. The diagnosis for some of the case study are too long. For example, on page 209, the diagnosis is one single paragraph on one and half pages. The author should separate the answer into several paragraphs to make it a little easy to read.
I like the book details which you might skip some of them; but in general this special book is very useful when you want details on blood, ear, eye and cytokines.It is informative especially if combined with Kaplan lectures.5 stars plus for Friendly and High Yield Editors for Histopathology
it is a very good book...concise....you should have a look at it firs before buying it.....might or might not meet your expectationsfor me, it worked because i am also using another book which is BRS histology
This book is way to big to call itself high-yield. Like many of the newer High-Yield books, the level of detail is far beyond what is necessary for Step1. I wish I had bought a used, older edition instead.
