PATOLOGIA GENERALE E CLINICA MICROBIOLOGIA E ANATOMIA PATOLOGICA - canale 1

Learning Objectives

• PATOLOGIA GENERALE E CLINICA

  At the end of the course the student should understand the underlying causes and the pathogenetic mechanisms at the basis human diseases, as well as the etiology of the fundamental alteration of the biological structures, functions and control mechanisms. It must also know the basic biological mechanisms of defence and their alterations. The course will address the concept of pathology (or disease) from the molecular level to the upper levels of organization (cell, tissue, organ, apparatus, body).

• Microbiology and Clinical Microbiology

  Knowledge of the basics of microbiology (general microbiology)

  Application of this knowledges to clinical cases with special regard to infectious diseases.

  Choosing the optimal pathological sample on the basis of the site of the infection and of the suspected diagnosis; evaluation of the best systems for the collection, transportation and storage of pathological samples

  Deep knolwledge of prevention, prophylaxis, diagnosis and diagnostic methods, treatments and eventual emergency procedures in infectious diseases.
