Syllabus

KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: Acquire essential and fundamental knowledge of the respiratory, cardiovascular and integumentary systems
and the fundamentals of pathophysiology of diseases of these systems including oncological ones. Acquire the basics of preventing pathologies of these systems. Furthermore, acquire adequate biomedical terminology.

ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: being able to apply the knowledge acquired as a solid basis for tackling the work activity.

INDEPENDENT JUDGMENT: acquire an adequate capacity for critical processing of the morpho-functional and physiopathological correlations of diseases of the systems in order to be able to act correctly in the workplace also with regard to the prevention of diseases.

COMMUNICATION SKILLS: the acquisition of adequate biomedical terminology is essential for interfacing within the biomedical scientific community.

LEARNING ABILITY: the study of the pathophysiology of the diseases of the various systems treated in the integrated course is preparatory to clinical reasoning to correctly frame the pathologies of the various organs and carry out correct prevention of the pathologies

Knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the systems presented in the different modules

In the different modules, information will be provided that serves to develop knowledge, skills, relational attitudes and attention to appropriateness and sustainability specifically for the diseases of each course teaching (oncological, cardiovascular and dermatological pathologies). The strategic objectives of prevention, risk factors for illness or death and protective factors and the different degrees of prevention from primary to tertiary will also be covered.

Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine. McGraw-Hill Professional, last edition.

Anatomy and physiology of the systems studied in the different modules
Main infectious pathologies (bacterial, viral, fungal) that can affect the different systems presented in the different modules
Main oncological pathologies that can affect the different systems presented in the different modules
Prevention and treatment of the main pathologies that can affect the different systems presented in the different modules
Notions on research in the field of social diseases
For the detailed programs of the different modules, please refer to the different Syllabi

Lectures with slide-sets based on interaction with the aim of transferring knowledge.

The powerpoint presentations relating to the teaching units are available on the moodle@units and Microsoft Teams platforms

Exam grade deriving from the average of the partial tests with the obligation to use the esse3 platform to record the results. In the case of partial tests, in order to pass the exam relating to the teaching, the student must obtain an evaluation of ≥ 18 in each of the partial tests, he will not be able to refuse the result of the partial test, but only the grade of the entire integrated course and, in this case, he will have to repeat all the partial tests.

The methods for carrying out the partial tests must be defined within the syllabus of the integrated course (teaching) by the Head of the Integrated Course and detailed in the syllabus of each module (teaching unit).

The Student must register for the online exam session on ESSE3. The grade of the partial test is valid until the extraordinary session of the academic year in question.

The final grade of the integrated course exam derives from the weighted average, therefore weighted on the CFU of each module, obtained in the individual partial tests. For the purposes of defining the average, the value of 1 point is attributed to any honors obtained in the partial tests, i.e. the grade of 30 and honors in the partial tests corresponds numerically to the score of 31. To attribute honors to the final exam grade , it will be necessary for the weighted average obtained by the student in the partial tests relating to the various modules to be >30.5.

This course explores topics closely related to one or more goals of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (SDGs)
