Course/Module description:
This course is presented in a frontal lecture format consisting of: introductory lectures into the general pathology of cellular injury/adaptation, inflammation and tissue repair, neoplasia, immune processes, amyloidosis, hemodynamic disorders, thrombosis and shock, genetic and metabolic diseases and diseases of infancy and childhood, infectious diseases and environmental injury.
A bibliography is provided for supplemental reading and histopathology atlas.
At the end of the course there is a test based on lectures, presentations, and required reading.
Course/Module aims:
1. To grant knowledge about cellular/tissue/organ morphological changes in reaction to stress/injury.
2. To understand pathological processes and their mechanism, including: inflammation; autoimmunity, neoplasia, etc.
3. To understand the relation between morphological and functional changes.
4. To understand the relation between morphological changes and clinical presentation as a bases for clinical and therapeutic medicine.
Learning outcomes - On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
1. Recall pathological terminology
2. Outline cellular/tissue/organ adaptation to stress/injury, and associate them with clinical
presentation in various diseases.
3. Describe the pathological processes observed in inflammation, repair, hemodynamic disorders,
infectious diseases, autoimmune diseases and environmental injury
4. Recognize certain genetic and metabolic diseases
5. Classify neoplasms according to customary nomenclature, and recognize common moleculargenetic
alterations and risk factors underlying neoplasia.
Attendance requirements(%):
80% Minimum.
Teaching arrangement and method of instruction:
Integration of frontal lectures, presentations and required reading in the course book.
