Learning outcomes

Fornire conoscenze di base riguardanti la farmacologia, patologia generale, microbiologia, medicina interna e terapia medica di interesse fisioterapico.

FONDAMENTI DI ORTOPEDIA: acquisire le conoscenze fondamentali dei principali quadri morbosi dell’apparato muscoloscheletrico di tipo traumatologico e non traumatologico dell’adulto e del bambino e i principi di trattamento chirurgico, incruento. Acquisire le conoscenze e la comprensione dei principali esami strumentali di imaging utilizzati in clinica e in traumatologia.

MEDICINA INTERNA: inquadrare le patologie internistiche sapendone individuare i principali aspetti clinici e riconoscerne le possibili complicanze di interesse ortopedico, in particolare negli ambiti che possono richiedere ausili esterni ed interni di tipo meccanico e biomeccanico.

PATOLOGIA GENERALE: acquisire gli strumenti concettuali e scientifici per spiegare le cause e i meccanismi delle malattie umane. Conoscere i principali fattori patogeni, i principi generali dei disordini dell’omeodinamica dei sistemi complessi, le reazioni al danno biologico con particolare riferimento all’infiammazione, ai processi di guarigione o di cronicizzazione.

MM: PATOLOGIA GENERALE
------------------------
I. Introduction: - general concepts - the pathological process as an alteration of homeostasis - adaptation, compensation and responsiveness - pathogenesis - etiology II. Cellular Pathology: -cell death: necrosis and apoptosis - pathogenetic processes implicated in cellular damage III. Natural immunity and acquired immunity: - innate immune cells - adaptive immune cells IV. Tissue responses to cell damage: - acute inflammation: changes in flow and vascular permeability; - inflammatory exudates (types, composition, localization); - mechanisms controlling phagocyte migration to the inflammatory sites - effector functions of phagocytes: oxygen-dependent and oxygen-independent bactericidal mechanisms, phagocytosis V. Mediators of acute inflammation: plasma-derived mediators and cell-derived mediators - coagulation system, complement system, vasoactive amines - cytokines VI. Evolution of the acute inflammatory response: -tissue repair, regeneration and fibrosis -chronic inflammation: chronic systemic diseases that affect the joints and connective tissues VII. Neoplasms
