Educational objectives

The goal of this module is to ensure that the student, through the scientific skills obtained, can understand the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying human diseases

The main knowledge gained in this form will be:
• Essentials of pathophysiology of thermoregulation
• Essentials of pathophysiology of heart
• Essentials of pathophysiology of circulation
• Essentials of pathophysiology of blood
• Essentials of pathophysiology of liver
• Essentials of pathophysiology of the respiratory system
• Essentials of pathophysiology of the kidney
• Essentials of pathophysiology of fluid and electrolyte and acid-base balance
•Essentials ofthe endocrine system

The main skill expectations will be to acquire the basic knowledge on the pathophysiology of organs and systems to provide adequate instruments for a correct clinical approach to diseases and to evaluate and use the information from the main biomedical diagnostic techniques.

Prerequisites

The acquisitionof of an in deep knowledge of main topics in the course of General Pathology, requires relevant knowledge on Biology and Genetics, Biochemistry and Physiology. The skill so btained in these disciplines are essential so that students can understand the concepts of etiopathology of Molecular and Cellular Pathology and Pathophysiology of organs. The student so well prepared in teaching the course will draw a considerable profit.

Teaching methods

Lectures with discussion of the topics of the module.
Discussions on current literature.

Learning verification modality

The student evaluation consists of an oral exam at the end of the course lessons. The assessment of the preparation of the student lasts an average of thirty minutes depending on the degree of knowledge of the topics covered and the presentation skills of the student. The test consists of three questions regarding the discipline studied related to: molecular and cellular pathology of the intrinsic and extrinsic causes of disease; cellular pathology and molecular oncology and inflammation; general pathophysiology of organs. The questions are administered by different teachers to ensure maximum consistency and objectivity of evaluation. The oral examination is essential for the assessment of the knowledge acquired by the students, exhibition of his skills and mastery of the subject studied with particular referenceto the ability to link between different topics.

Educational objectives

The module 5 of General Pathology is part of the teaching of General Pathology, the Degree in Medicine and Surgery, who studies the causes (etiology) and pathological phenomena at the molecular and cellular disease than the biology and physiology of cell. The course intends to acquire knowledge about the basic mechanisms underlying the most common diseases in humans and the cell response to changes in the external environment. The main objective of the course is to acquire knowledge about:
• Chemical, Physical and Biological Carcinogenesis
• Molecular Basis of Neoplastic Cell
• Molecular and Cellular processes of tumor Invasiveness, Angiogenesis and Metastasis
The oral examination and optional seminars are tools to assess the degree of learning and the ability to communicate and explain, in a simple, yet rigorous, immediate and thorough knowledge gained. The skills acquired in the study of this discipline allows the student to achieve a broad overview of the relationship between the human genome, the environment and the development of diseases and allows to obtain the means to have a clear picture of the causes of pathologies and their specific mechanism of occurrence and development and general pathophysiology of the most common diseases in order to propose behaviors and appropriate treatment as a future Medical Doctor.

Prerequisites

The acquisition of the deep knowledge of main topics in the course of General Pathology, requires relevant knowledge on Biology and Genetics, Biochemistry and Physiology. The skill so btained in these disciplines are essential so that students can understand the concepts of etiopathology of Molecular and Cellular Pathology and Pathophysiology of organs. The student so well prepared in teaching the course will draw a considerable profit.

Teaching methods

To the students are given lectures. Lessons Module 5 make the part of the program of the course of study of General Pathology regarding pathogenetic basis of Diseases for Oncology, with greater reference to Molecular Causes of Diseases for Oncology, the future doctor will face in the course of his profession. Each lesson has a duration of two hours that is given to the specific topic, relating it to others already exposed, to allow the student to have a broad vision of the topics covered. Students are proposed to conduct, at its option, seminars about the arguments in class. The seminars were held in groups of two or three people. The seminars were held in groups of two or three students in the presence of the other students in the course. To this end, the teacher provides students with bibliographical material in English concerning the subject, the subject of the seminar will be presented using computer media (Power-Point and / or similar).
