SHUA11007U Human Pathophysiology
MSc Programme in Human Biology - compulsory
Year 1
The overall objective is to give students insight into various
human diseases and to relate human biology to clinical pathology,
pathological anatomy and pharmacology. Particular importance shall
be attributed to the understanding of the mechanisms responsible
for the origin and development of diseases and for the interaction
between the various organ systems at the structural as well as at
the functional level. In contrast, only overall knowledge of
disease diagnostics and therapy are required.
Furthermore, the objective of the training is to give students
insight into current pathophysiological research and an
understanding of research-based assessment. The training also
serves to sharpen students' interest in and capacity to fight
against disease and preserve health through their own research,
developmental and administrative efforts. Finally, the training
shall contribute to teaching the future master of Human Biology how
to communicate professionally in health science
contexts
After completing the course the student is expected to:
Knowledge:
- Explain the primary diseases and disease complexes of chosen organ systems with regard to symptomatology and pathophysiological mechanisms and hereby associated structural changes at organ and cell level
- State the overall treatment principles of a given disease
- Compare ermalycalmcamsatcladrn evs e pathophysiological changes causing diseases and their development
- Explain the role of clinical physiology/clinical biochemistry
and image diagnostic modalities in disease diagnosis and mention
research-related aspects of selected diseases
Skill:
- Discuss at the integrative level how disease in one organ
system can affect the physiological and pathophysiological
regulation mechanisms of other organ systems and of the entire
organism
Competence:
- Relate insight into various human diseases and human biology to clinical pathology, pathological anatomy and pharmacology Furthermore, enable the student to communicate professionally in health science contexts
