OVERVIEW

The course provides the principles of pharmacodynamics and kinetics, in particular of antibiotics, and it will focus on the therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). The main aspects of infectious diseases, their prevention andtheir transmission will be treated. The main anti-infective drugs will be described, addressing the aspects inherent to sensitivity and diagnostic tests. Finally, the laboratory techniques applied to the first intervention and the essential clinical semeiology will be described.

AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Know the principles of general pharmacology: parameters pharmacokinetics biological monitoring drug-induced alteration of laboratory parameters drug interactions ways of transmitting infectious diseases prevention of infectious diseases. Acquire notions: diagnostics (cultural, molecular, microscopic) on antibiotics and evaluation of susceptibility tests on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of antibiotics (killing, post-antibiotic effect) and blood dosages. To acquire knowledge on the application of laboratory techniques to first aid and essential clinical semeiology. The Infectious Diseases training plan provides for the acquisition of basic notions of the complex interaction between viruses/bacteria/protozoa vs human host. With particular regard to emerging pathologies, for example SARS-CoV-2, HIV, Monkeypox. Also will be interpreted ed analyzed the phenomenon of antibiotic resistance and our weapons provision to contain it Toxicity of antiblastic drugs, storage and preparation of antiblastic drug in hospital pharmacy departments (UFA); processing of the antiblastic drug under hood and use of PPE required by current legislation. Execution of controls for the validation of the drug

TEACHERS AND EXAM BOARD

EXAMS

EXAM DESCRIPTION

The exam takes place exclusively in oral form. The grade is unique and the final result is agreed between the teachers involved in the integrated course.

ASSESSMENT METHODS

The verification of the correct understanding of the topics covered takes place during the exam with questions aimed at verifying the ability to actively apply the knowledge acquired during the course through reasoning and synthesis.
