Objectives
Contents The Clinical Pathology is a branch of the Medicine that uses molecular and biochemical technologies to investigate the clinical cases. The Clinical Pathology regards the laboratory medicine and studies human samples (tissues, blood and other patients’ fluids) to evaluate them in terms of morphology, chemical composition, and identify immunological, molecular and microbiological markers in order to help in the diagnostic path.
Extended Syllabus - Laboratory Medicine: terminology, unit of measure, values of reference, data interpretation. Collection of the biological samples. The sensitivity and the specificity of the predictive values.
- Diagnostic values in haematology: the anemias, fibrinolysis and the control of blood coagulation.
- The chemical mediators of inflammation.
- Markers in cancer.
- Markers of diabetes.
- Clinical enzymology and the values of liver and pancreas function.
- Analysis of urine samples.

Recommended Bibliography In the absence of specific textbooks dedicated to students of this type of Study Program the teacher will supply with paper handouts useful for the
comprehension of the topics. Other important tools for the individual preparation are represented, on the advice of the teacher, by the
consultation of "Pubmed" and/or of scientific papers, useful for the deepening of the treated topics. Further specific bibliographic indications can be provided directly by the teacher during the course. Any additional materials will be made available by the teacher and uploaded on the dedicated
Teaching Methods The Course is structured in 10 hours (1 CFU) learning subdivided into 2 hours lessons, according to the academic calendar. The teaching is divided into lectures whose purpose is to transmit concepts, information and schemes useful for the comprehension of the scientific subjects. The frequency of the Course is obligatory.
Evaluation methods Verification of learning:
The evaluation method consists of oral examination and the topics under examination will reflect those discussed during the lessons and present in the program. The exam mode and the evaluation methos will be indicated by the teacher at the beginning of the lessons. The evaluation will be based on the knowledge of the topics covered by the exam questions and the student's logical-argumentative skills. For the purposes of the evaluation, the quality of the oral presentation will also be taken into consideration with particular reference to the competence in the use of the specialized lexicon. The final grade is calculated as the average of the individual modules of the positive results (above 18/30) of the different modules that, together with that of Clinical Pathology, are included in the integrated course.
