The processes of cell adaptation and injury, apoptosis, necrosis, aging, thromboembolism, ischemia, infarction, fluid and chemistry imbalances, neuroendocrine abnormalities, inflammation, infection, immune dysfunction, genetic abnormalities and malignancy will be studied, illustrated by disease examples and case studies. Additionally the world burden of disease will be considered, including infection, infestation, malnutrition, and obesity.
