Textbook of Medical Physiology
Abstract
The eighth edition of theTextbook of Medical Physiologyby Arthur C. Guyton, MD, is similar to the seventh edition with few changes or rearrangements. It is shorter by 67 pages (6.6%). The former Unit II discussion of blood cells, immunity, and blood clotting has been moved to Unit VI, where it follows the description of cardiovascular, renal, and acid-base physiology. Chapters 11 and 12, which deal with normal and abnormal electrocardiograms, have been significantly improved. Unit IV, which describes the circulation of blood, has been rearranged and updated. The nervous system material has been rearranged and ends with chapter 61 describing cerebral flow, cerebrospinal fluid, and brain metabolism. Dr Guyton continues to present physiological principles in molecular and physical terms and introduces a new feature—two print sizes. Large print describes fundamental physiological information that medical students need to know. Smaller print represents nonbasic physiological information such as anatomy, chemistry,

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
