Learning Outcomes of the Curricular Unit:
Objective Clinical Pathology to provide knowledge of the basic mechanisms of diseases; macro and microscopic morphological study of pathological processes,to the basic nature, causes, development of non-normal situations Relate, interpret the clinical processes of the disease, the symptoms,signs manifested with the analytical results provide sufficient effective details about the most common diseases of the factors of predisposition, local effects and the natural consequences of each pathological case indicate the relevant processes in which laboratory research can establish the etiology of the disease and assist in the therapeutic proposal recommended by the physician for a deeper and more accurate understanding of the pathological mechanisms addressed throughout the classes, it is essential that the student has present knowledge acquired in the previous basic, such Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry Pathological Anatomy, Microbiology, Immunology, Hematology
Syllabus:
Clinical pathology, cellular injury/adaptation acute/chronic inflammation, hydric/hemodynamic disorders Cardiovascular diseases arteriosclerosis; Atherosclerosis, aneurysms, varicose veins, varicoses, pericardites; myocarditis, hypertension, coronary artery disease, angina pectoris, heart failure, infarcts, digestive pathologies: hepatic, intra-extrahepatic, gallbladder, jaundice, cirrhosis, hepatitis, hepatic insufficiency, carcinoma Hepatocellular, Cholestases, Cholangitis, biliary lithiasis, pancreatic pathologies: acute, chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic duct obstruction, Diabetes mellitus, renal pathologies, urinary tract: nephrotic/nephrotic syndromes; Acute/chronic insufficiency;Nefro-Urolithiasis, Pielonefrites, Ureterites, cystitis, Uthritis
Demonstration of the Syllabus Coherence with the Curricular Unit's Objectives:
In the pedagogical-scientific organization of the clinical pathology classes, we selected comprehensive themes and ligand that elicit justifiably the adherence and participation of the student and still, which motivate and awaken their scientific curiosity. Whenever possible, we will try to relate pathological alterations with clinical manifestations of the disease. Thus, the student will be instructed to interpret the patient's semiology, to integrate it into the underlying pathophysiological processes and to determine its ability to relate and interpret the analytical parameters requested. In this context, it seeks essentially to stimulate the student to understand the changes in the mechanisms of bodily functions, the collection and interpretation of analytical results of the auxiliary diagnostic methods
Teaching Methodologies (Including Evaluation):
THEORETICAL EVALUATION (80%) Written tests will be prepared in such a way as to cover a representative sample of the themes worked throughout the classes. Test will last for 60 minutes. PRACTICAL ASSESSMENT (20%) Written tests and/or oral presentation of studies performed by the students, individually, where the student's performance and capacity of criticism in semiological approaches with results of different analytical parameters will be appreciated. The final classification results from 80% CT and 20% PL. Students will be approved if their final classification is 09,50 or superior in both components
Demonstration of the Coherence between the Teaching Methodologies and the Learning Outcomes:
The teaching methodology centered on the theoretical-practical and practical information of the topics covered, including the use of appropriate didactic resources, such as videos and anatomical models, is adequately suited to the learning process of the unit Clinical Pathology curriculum in the curricular plan of Clinical Analysis and Public Health. In relation to the student, it will not be enough to be present and take notes. We hope you have an active participation, whenever requested. Constructive suggestions and ideas that aim to improve classes, particularly in their clarity and pedagogical aspects will be appreciated
