Learning outcomes

MODULO BIOINGEGNERIA ELETTRONICA learning outcomes: Provide an overview of electronic bioengineering with particular reference to biomedical applications and technologies. Provide tools for the knowledge of the main laboratory equipment and in particular the basic concepts of physical quantities and signal theory, transducers and bio-images. MODULO FISICA APPLICATA A MEDICINA E CHIRURGIA The Course is designed to provide the student the basic knowledge of physics, taking particular account of those principles and laws that will be needed to comprehend and to have a deeper understanding of biomedical problems MODULO MISURE ELETTRICHE ED ELETTRONICHE Provide an overview of the basic components and electronic circuits with particular emphasis on applications and references to the equipment used by laboratory technicians and specific emphasis on the chain of detection of physical , electrical transduction , converting them into digital signals. MODULO STATISTICA MEDICA learning outcomes: The course is aimed at introducing the basic tools for the quantitative evaluation of biomedical problems, with the goal of preparing the students to describe, interpret and communicate appropriately the information collected on a sample of patients (or on other experimental units).

INTRODUCTION The role of Statistics in Health Professions. DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS Different measurement scales – Statistical variables and their presentation through frequency distributions: one-entry or double-entry tables – Measures of central tendency: mean (arithmetic, geometric, weighted), median, mode, percentiles – Measures of dispersion: range, interquartile range, sum of squares, variance (mean square), standard deviation, variation coefficient PROBABILITY Classic, frequentist, subjective interpretations of probability – Sum and product rules of probability – Independent and dependent events and conditional probability.

Examination Methods

------------------------
MM: BIOINGEGNERIA ELETTRONICA
------------------------
Written and oral exam
------------------------
MM: FISICA APPLICATA A MEDICINA E CHIRURGIA
------------------------
Written exam with 20 multiple choice exercises. About 1 hour. No books or notes. Only calculator and pen allowed.
------------------------
MM: STATISTICA MEDICA
------------------------
The written examination will consists of about 15 multiple choice questions with 5-8 possible answers, and one exercise on simple data sets. Wrong answers to the written examination will be orally discussed with the student. If a new lockdown phase will be enacted, the exam modality will be modified accordingly, i.e. exams will be performed in rooms large enough to guarantee social separation, or exams will be administered using the web-platform Zoom.
------------------------
MM: MISURE ELETTRICHE ED ELETTRONICHE
------------------------
Written exam with exercises and oral questions with possible interview . In case of need, the examination will be carried out in the same way but by videoconference.
