C.I. MEDICINA E CHIRURGIA I

Learning Objectives

• General Surgery

  To obtain basic knowledge on principal abdominal surgical diseases, thyroid diseases and breast cancer. To recognize most frequent post-operative complications

• Pediatrics

  General paediatrics deals with the overall health (e.g., physical, mental and social health) and with the study of prevention of diseases during childhood, i.e., during the developmental age; with developmental age we mean the period between the prenatal age (i.e., the three phases preceding birth) and the end of the natural process of physical growth and cognitive maturation (which, according to the European standards ends up at age 18 years and by the USA standards ends up at about age 20-22 years.

  Specifically, this teaching deals with:

  (a) Physiology and development of the neonate (including topics dealing with neonatal pathology), the child and the adolescent;

  (b) Prevention paediatrics, i.e., all medical acts and activities aimed to reduce mortality secondary to given diseases and morbidity (i.e., the frequency of given diseases) in children;

  (c) Specialty paediatrics, i.e. all acute and chronic diseases affecting various organs during the developmental age: cardiology, respiratory medicine, gastroenterology, neurology, haematology, oncology, endocrinology, rheumatology, infectious diseases, and dermatology;

  (d) Social paediatrics, i.e., health problems catering from the overall childhood community (prevention ans community medicine)

   

  The course aims to provide the bases and fundaments of: (a) anatomy and physiology during development; (b) prevention and social medicine during development; (c) health education and understanding of diseases during childhood and adolescence and of the main acute and chronic conditions physically or mentally disabling children or interfering with their learning processes.

• NEUROLOGIA

  Lessons are organized in three different parts: the first will give the student basic elements of neurology, regarding main neurological diseases which are object of inpatient and/or outpatient care; the second part will give the student issues regarding the organization of Neurologic Unit in a complex Hospital, with a special focus on the relationship among different Clinic Units, and the strategic directions (General Manager, Administrator, Medical Director); the third part will give the student basic elements to read a scientific paper and select proper material to edit a scientific report
