Physiology Cases and Problems, Fourth Edition is a collection of carefully selected patient case studies that cover the clinically relevant physiology topics that first and second year medical students need to know for physiology coursework and for the USMLE Step 1. Organized by body system, the book presents cases studies with questions and problems, followed by complete explanations and solutions including diagrams, graphs, and charts. Students may use this book alone, in small groups, or as a complement to BRS Physiology. Either way, it is intended to be a dynamic, working book that challenges its users to think more critically about physiologic principles.This book includes a number of features to help students master the principles of physiology:62 cases organized by body system to help students integrate materialSeveral expanded cases, including myasthenia gravis, atrioventricular conduction block, carbon monoxide poisoning, peptic ulcer disease, galactorrhea and amenorrhea, and prolactinoma2 new cases on Chronic Renal Failure, Liver Failure and Hepatorenal SyndromeNew full-color interior, tables, and illustrationsWithin each case, questions are arranged sequentially so that they intentionally build upon each otherQuestion difficulty varies from basic to challenging, recognizing the progression that most students makeMajor equations are presented in boldface type, followed by explanations of all termsKey topics are listed at the end of each case so that students may focus their studyCommon abbreviations are presented on the inside front cover, and normal values and constants are presented on the inside back coverOnline access to Ebook

Excellent for building critical thinking skills - something that most undergraduate students do not have nor is it something that I find many professors are demanding of their students. These case studies are straightforward, concise and cover important physiological concepts in an interesting, engaging manner.
If you're taking graduate physiology, this book is a life-saver! Dr. Linda Costanzo does a great job of making abstract/difficult concepts easy to learn and master! Check out her Physiology textbook, too, if you want a book that you can actually understand!
This book is beautifully written, and organized. I love the layout of the medical cases in regard with all body systems. The physiology behind every case is phenomenally accurately explained. I love this book to pieces, and I am already in love with this author. Linda Costanzo is the BEST PHYSIOLOGIST in the world EVER :))
I can't say enough about this book. Its high yield as demonstrated by First Aids recommendation of it, my experience with it and with tests covering material in it. It's really a perfect book. Each case study highlights some important concept, they give you questions and very thorough explanations which give you a satisfying answer. It's concise and helpful and easy to use
This book is a must-have for students who wish to understand physiology inan active way of discussion. They content is very nice and you can make best of it if you read along BRS physiology by the same other. Combining both of them will guarantee very good score on exams and good basis for clinical practice. Note that if you still have time for usmle step 1 and you are IMG or a junior US medical student then consider reading this book early.
I fetched myself a copy of the book based on recommendation by Medical Student Book.com. Generally the 62 cases presented are useful to Medicine Year 1 and 2 students wishing to consolidate concepts on Physiology. Good supplement to notes and textbooks as after-class practice.
This book is a lifesaver (or rather a score saver)! I've been struggling with physiology for so long, and just didn't know how to pull my scores up. I had the other Costanzo books, but I wasn't really absorbing much. I think one of the main advantages of this book as opposed to the others is that the physiology material is presented in a strictly clinical setting, which makes it's easier to apply the material to correctly answer QBank questions. Also, I feel like the answers are written in a more conversational tone, which I like. This book is PERFECT for active learners. If you like to work through cases and write notes, this book is for you. If you can absorb material simply by reading or watching videos, you probably don't need this resource. Each case has taken me no more than 15 to 20 minutes to write out and understand. I have noticed a quick uptick in my physiology QBank scores, and for the first time, I'm understanding some major physio concepts and not just frantically trying to memorize. Plus, for me, it's a lot more engaging then just watching a video of someone regurgitating First Aid.
The book completely surpassed my expectations. It helps my understand physiology greatly due to the fact that it explains and lets you see how cases occur.
