For the best coverage of pathophysiology and physiology, find review articles. In addition to providing you a broad understanding of a condition or disease, you can also use them to find primary, clinical research using citation chaining.

• Chaining citations backward gives you background and history (systematic reviews will cite each clinical study included) 
  • Use the citations at the end of an article
• Chaining citations forward give you recent research on your topic    
  • Use the "Cited by" function at PubMed or Google Scholar (video demo of citation chaining using Google Scholar)
