The course of pharmacology I is part of the specific objectives of the study program aimed at training a professional figure able to: know and understand the concepts of general pharmacology and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs In particular, the Pharmacology course aims to allow the Student to i) develop: - - the principles of pharmacokinetics (the path of the drug within the human organism, assessed in its qualitative / quantitative aspects) and of pharmacodynamics (drug / target interactions and analysis of the dose-response relationship); - adequate knowledge on the pharmacological basis of therapy, with particular attention to anti-inflammatory therapy ii) acquire: - the tools for a reasoned understanding of what the drug produces once it has been introduced into the human organism (pharmacodynamics) taking into account how it is distributed and modified in the organism itself (pharmacokinetics), integrating the knowledge on the mechanism of action, efficacy and safety of drugs with knowledge on the physiology of pharmacological targets and on the pathophysiology of processes modified by pharmacological intervention.
EXPECTED LEARNING RESULTS At the end of the course the student, as far as his / her competence is concerned, will be able to know the pharmacological basis of the therapy. The course will help to provide the student with tools that will enable him to enhance his skills in relating to the team ( doctors, psychologists, health assistants, etc.) who, in an increasingly multidisciplinary approach, will be called to take care of the patient.
The course of pharmacology II is part of the specific objectives of the study program aimed at training a professional figure able to: Know and understand the concepts of general pharmacology and the main classes of drugs (action mechanisms, therapeutic indications, effects) side). In particular, the Pharmacology course aims to allow the student to develop: i) adequate knowledge on the pharmacological basis of therapy, with particular attention to anticoagulant, antiplatelet, antihypertensive and anti-inflammatory therapy; ii) tools for a reasoned understanding of the principles of pharmacogenomics.
EXPECTED LEARNING RESULTS At the end of the course the student, as far as he is competent, will be able to: i) know the pharmacological basis of the therapy; ii) to know the collateral and toxic effects of drugs and the potential interactions between them. The course will help to provide the student with tools that will enable him to enhance his skills in interacting with multidisciplinary teams with other professional figures (doctors, nurses, etc.) who, in an increasingly multidisciplinary approach, will be called to take care of the patient.
The course of nephrology contributes to the realization of the educational objective of the Course in Cardiocirculatory and Cardiovascular Pathophysiology Techniques providing students with knowledge about signs and symptoms, diagnostic procedures and therapeutic indications in the pathologies of the nephropathic patient, consistently with the professional profile of Technician Perfusion.
Expected learning outcomes
At the end of the course the students will be able:
a) With reference to the signs-symptoms proteinuria, haematuria, oliguria, polyuria, perife¬rico edema:
- to illustrate the individual pathophysiological mechanisms;
- to list the clinical significance and the main causes;
- to plan a correct diagnostic procedure.
b) Interpret in a physiopathological and diagnostic key the possible results of the urine test.
c) Specify indications and contraindications, complications, costs, reliability of the main specialized diagnostic procedures:
- renal function test
- urine culture
- renal biopsy
- diagnostic imaging
- laboratory diagnostics.
d) With reference to the systematic nosography:
- To know, on the basis of epidemiological information, which are the most frequent pathologies affecting the urinary system.
- Differentiate and interpret the pathophysiological elements of clinical semeiology for the purpose of a correct classification of pathologies.
- Specify the pathogenic role of the main risk factors.
- Being able to analyze clinical and instrumental data to make a correct diagnosis and set up a therapeutic scheme.
The course of neurology contributes to the realization of the educational objective of the Course in Cardiocirculatory and Cardiovascular Pathophysiology Techniques providing students with knowledge to identify the diagnostic suspicion of cerebrovascular accident and to identify the brain areas involved. The student should know the causes on ischemic and hemorragic stroke and the general principles of stroke management.
Finally, the student should identify and classify different degrees of alterations of consciousness state.
