What if physiology was not something to memorize but something to think with?

What if every symptom, lab value, and clinical decision could be traced back to first principles of how the human body maintains balance, adapts, and ultimately fails?

Medical Physiology: The Architecture of Diagnosis and Treatment redefines physiology as the intellectual foundation of medicine where mechanisms explain diseases, and understanding replaces rote learning.


Spanning from cellular transport to neurophysiology, from cardiac hemodynamics to endocrine control, this book presents the human body as a unified, regulated system governed by homeostasis and feedback.

Each chapter is built around:

  • Core physiological principles
  • Quantitative reasoning and equations
  • Clear transitions from normal function to pathology
  • Clinical correlations that explain why diseases behave the way they do

Rather than isolated facts, readers are guided through the logic of life: how cells communicate, how organs integrate, how systems compensate and how breakdowns manifest as disease. Concepts like membrane potentials, pressure-volume loops, V/Q mismatch, acid-base disorders, hormone signaling, and neural control are presented as tools for diagnosis, not trivia for exams.


This book is designed for:

  • Medical students seeking deep understanding instead of superficial memorization
  • Residents and clinicians who want physiology to inform real clinical decisions
  • Educators looking for a coherent, system-based framework
  • Serious learners who want to see how diagnosis and treatment are architecturally built from physiology

By integrating physics, chemistry, biology, and clinical reasoning, this text trains you to:

  • Predict physiological responses
  • Understand drug mechanisms at a systems level
  • Interpret lab values and vital signs with confidence
  • See disease as failed adaptation-not random pathology

This is physiology taught the way clinicians think.

If you want a book that transforms physiology from a hurdle into a clinical advantage,

if you want to understand medicine from the inside out,

then Medical Physiology: The Architecture of Diagnosis and Treatment belongs on your desk.

Master the mechanisms.

Think like a clinician.

Build diagnosis from physiology.

Health Information Exchange: Navigating and Managing a Network of Health Information Systems
<p><i>Health Information Exchange (HIE): Navigating and Managing a Network of Health Information Systems</i> allows health professionals to appropriately access, and securely share, patients' vital medical information electronically, thus improving the speed, quality, safety, and cost of patient care. </p> <p>The book presents foundational knowledge on HIE, covering the broad areas of technology, governance, and policy, providing a concise, yet in-depth, look at HIE that can be used as a teaching tool for universities, healthcare organizations with a training component, certification institutions, and as a tool for self-study for independent learners who want to know more about HIE when studying for certification exams. </p> <p>In addition, it not only provides coverage of the technical, policy, and organizational aspects of HIE, but also touches on HIE as a growing profession. In Part One, the book defines HIE, describing it as an emerging profession within HIT/Informatics. In Part Two, the book provides key information on the policy and governance of HIE, including stakeholder engagement, strategic planning, sustainability, etc. Part Three focuses on the technology behind HIE, defining and describing master person indexes, information infrastructure, interfacing, and messaging, etc. In Part Four, the authors discuss the value of HIE, and how to create and measure it. Finally, in Part Five, the book provides perspectives on the future of HIE, including emerging trends, unresolved challenges, etc.</p>
