- Educational objectives
- The general pharmacology is the study of the fundamentals of drug action that evaluates the relationship between body and drug, and analyzes the general mechanisms of interaction between the two systems. All the drugs share some general principles that are independent of the nature of the effect and which are common to all. The main knowledge gained will be related to: 1) absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination of drugs 2) routes of administration of the drugs 3) bioavailability and bioequivalence. The knowledge gained will enable the student to achieve the following skills: 1) be able to calculate the correct dosage of a drug 2) avoid toxic effects 3) rational use of medicines and achieve maximum efficacy with minimal toxicity
- Prerequisites
- The student must have knowledge of anatomy,physiology and chemistry

prescriptions. Strategies of primary and secondary prevention of age- and
food-related diseases. - Reference texts
- Nutrizione applicata (Riccardi et al. - Idelson Gnocchi Ed.)
- notes by the teacher - Educational objectives
- The course is designed to build knowledge and skilling on dietetics and nutritional management of adult and pediatric patients in clinical centers, as well as on strategies and
tools to implement and deliver to individuals and communities the
concept of “healthy diet and life style” (health promotion activity).
Students will gain a background on nutritional requirements in different
physiological conditions such as pregnancy, lactation and weaning,
infancy and adolescence, adulthood and aging, as well as on health
effects of food groups and dietary prevention of age- and food-dependent
diseases (including obesity, malnutrition, and food toxicology and
environmental threats). - Prerequisites
- The student should have a solid background in medical biochemistry, physiology and human nutrition.
