Electronic Journals In Pathophysiology

The study of physiology is closely related with the study of pathophysiology, which is the analysis of the diseases that take place in the living beings while they carry out their vital functions. When studying the diseases of the living beings, this branch also studies animals since it has a direct application in the field of veterinary science. This branch of medicine allows to explain why diseases are produced, how are they produced, and which are their symptoms. Pathophysiology describes the “history” of the disease and, once it has reached the living being, it is divided in three phases: initial, clinical and of resolution. The initial phase covers the first changes that suffer the organism since the moment in which the disease starts until the moment when the first symptoms are produced. In this phase the patient does not suffer substantial changes since the disease develops without the subject noticing; depending on the disease, this phase has different durations. The clinical phase begins when the disease stars to show its characteristic symptoms. These symptoms can appear repeatedly, by episodes or even in crisis. They can also repeat during years: once the six-month barrier is passed, the disease will become chronicle. It is in this phase when the adequate treatment must be applied for each condition: it must be remedied as soon as possible and not extend the disease to ensure in the subject a total recovery without sequalae. The resolution phase has different aspects: it can end with the disease; the disease can become chronicle, or it can become terminal. The early diagnosis and the knowledge of the disease is key so that the subject do not die.
