Learning outcomes

This course of study wants to give to the student some information about physiopathology.
Students will understand the events that lead to the disease, by using a practical method. There could be some deepenings about organs during the specific lessons.
I will start from the definition of physiopathology and I will explain the main modalities in which the organ's damage starts. In particular this course would handle the ischaemia (artherosclerosis and vasculitis), autoimmunity and toxic problems about the pathology.
I will explain the deseases that come from the presence of ischaemia, autoimmunity and toxic problems. During this course of study I will also handle the semeiotica (subject that studies the symptoms and signs of diseases).
At the end of the course of study, students should be able to know the main mechanisms that lead to the disease and identify its features.
