Course/Module description:
The course concentrates on the following subjects:
1. Hematopoietic system structure
2. RBC – normal structure and function - Anemia and other disorders of the red blood cells (RBC).
3. Coagulation system – structure and function, coagulation disorders (thrombocytopenia and bleeding disorders)
4. Lymphocyte development, reactive lymphadenopathy – histology and pathology.
5. Hematological malignancies including lymphomas, leukemias, myeloma, myelodysplastic and myeloproliferative disorders.
6. Infections in immunosuppressed patients and antifungal medications.
Course/Module aims:
We aim to teach basic knowledge of the hematopoietic system and its subsets, common as well as less common pathologies of the different subsets of the system.
Learning outcomes - On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to:
1. Describe the structure of the hematopoietic system.
2. Describe RBC function, differentiate between the different anemias, and be able to discuss the causes, clinical features, laboratory investigations and management of anemias.
3. Describe haemostasis and the basic coagulation laboratory tests; be able to discuss approach and management of thrombophilia and bleeding disorders.
4. Describe the pathological appearance, define and classify different hematological malignancies: acute and chronic leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, myeloproliferative and myelodysplastic syndromes. Describe the common presenting symptoms of the above malignancies, the therapeutic approach and the principal treatments (examples: chemotherapy, supportive care, targeted therapy).
5. Describe the lymphocyte development, causes and pathological appearance of lymphadenopathies.
6. Describe different etiologies of plasma cell diseases
7. Examine slides of blood smears and describe the normal as well as the pathological appearance of anemia from different causes, on blood smears.
8. Describe common infections in immunesuppressed patients and antifungal medications.
Attendance requirements(%):
100% of lectures
100% of lab workshops
Teaching arrangement and method of instruction:
95% frontal and digital lectures
5% laboratory workshops- in which we will learn to examine normal and pathological(anemia) blood smears. Laboratory work will be preformed in small groups(1/8 of class).
