Ateneo - UPO

The course deals with the physiopathology mechanisms related to senescence, blood perfusion, acid/base and hydro-saline homeostasis, hemostasis, iron and bilirubin alterations and neurodegeneration.

Pontieri. Patologia Generale e Fisiopatologia. Piccin.

The task of this course is to make the students able to understand the cause and the pathogenesis of disease.

The student must have acquired adequate information of Biology, Anatomy, Physics, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Medical Genetics, Histology and Physiology.

Interactive class, discussion, reading of scientific papers.

The student need to have acquired information on the most important pathophysiological processes that cause disease.

Hemostasis.
Physiopathology of blood perfusion: Ischemia, hyperemia, reperfusion syndrome. The shock
Physiopathology of acid/base regulation: acidosis and alkalosis
Physiopathology of iron. Regulation of body iron adsorption and distribution. Iron deficiency and overload.
Physiopathology of hydro-electrolytic homeostasis. Hydro-electrolytic alterations. The edema.
Pathophysiology of heme.

Knowledge and understanding of the mechanisms responsible of the main physiopathological processes in human diseases.
