AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

Knowing in detail the essential steps of neonatal assistance in the delivery room. The student will know how to make a full physical examination and be able to differentiate the clinical and therapeutic choices based on gestational age.

To provide knowledge on chronic metabolic and endocrine diseases, diabetes, skeletal and  respiratory diseases including cystic fibrosis as well as  other pediatric conditions including hemato-oncologic conditions, kidney diseases ….

To provide adequate details on the clinical aspects, diagnosis and treatment of major congenital, genetic, hereditary and acquired diseases reported above

In particular information on the pathophysiology of growth in children, pubertal development and the differential diagnosis of systemic diseases that impair growth will be provided.  The work-up of neonatal screening will be discussed .

Growth and Development: harmonic and disarmonic growth abnormalities, hypopituitarism and hypothyroidism. Premature and late puberty, adrenogenital syndrome.

Pediatric Diseases: The child with recurrent infections and respiratory diseases (pharyngotonsillitis, laryngotracheo-bronchitis, bronchial asthma, pneumonia, cystic fibrosis). The child with vomiting and diarrhea (gastro-esophageal reflux, acute diarrhea, celiac disease, food allergies, chronic inflammatory bowel disease). Diabetes in pediatric age; Indicate therapeutic measures  in the onset phase, in acute and chronic manifestations. Identify and illustrate the preventive and social aspects of diabetes in pediatric age. Describe and classify the congenital metabolic diseases found in pediatric age (general principles, phenylketonuria).

Anemic and / or hemorrhagic (anemia, anemia, anemia Sideropenia, hemolytic anemia, acute lymphatic leukemia, thrombocytopenia, hemophilia). Knowledge of the elements that allow to classify a hematuria (acute postinfective glomerulonephritis, details of other glomerulopathies, urinary tract infections, reflux nephropathy).
