CODE 67369 ACADEMIC YEAR 2020/2021 CREDITS 2 cfu anno 3 MEDICINA E CHIRURGIA 8745 (LM-41) - GENOVA SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINARY SECTOR BIO/12 LANGUAGE Italian TEACHING LOCATION GENOVA SEMESTER 1° Semester MODULES Questo insegnamento è un modulo di: CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS TEACHING MATERIALS AULAWEB OVERVIEW The clinical biochemistry part of the course deals with the systematic analysis of the laboratory tests for the main organs and functions. The course comprises 10 hours of plenary lessons and 15 hours of discussions of simple case studies with small groups of students. This part of the course will allow the students to put into practice the information received during the plenary lectures. AIMS AND CONTENT AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES The course comprises plenary lectures and discussions of simple case-studies with small groups of students. The plenary lectures will systematically address the study of laboratory medicine of the main organs and bodily functions. The case-studies will allow the students to put into practice the basic knowledge acquired and test their understanding of laboratory tests and the capacity to use the evidence provided by laboratory medicine in a diagnostic process. TEACHING METHODS plenary lectures (on the Teams platform, due to the SARS-CoV2 emergency) and case studies with small groups of students SYLLABUS/CONTENT Blood and coagulation disorders, Tumor markers, Metabolic disorders, Endocrine disorders, Inflammation, Renal function, Blood gas analysis, Cardiovascular function, Hepatic function, Pancreas and digestive disorders.

In particular, a multiple-choice test will assess the achievement of the training objectives of the clinical biochemistry part. ASSESSMENT METHODS A multiple choice test will investigate knowledge of the parameters of the "clinical chemistry profile", regarding both the normal range and the dynamic excursion during the organ and tissue diseases described during the course. The test will also explore the ability of the student to derive diagnostic hypotheses from the results of the laboratory tests, putting into practice the clinical case studies.
