| Description: |
Students will learn the key principles underlying diseases that enable them to form a basis for understanding how they are detected and treated. Fundamental biology concepts and processes in pathophysiology and their relationships to developmental stages and the needed treatments for specific disorders will be emphasized. (Distribution Reqs:Natural Sciences) |
| Learning Goals: |
By the end of the course, students should be able to:• Describe the underlying changes in body physiology that result from disease or injury and be able to compare a normal cell to an aberrant cell.• Integrate the principles, concepts and basic concepts of other scientific fields towards the investigation of pathophysiology and identify multiple causes of disease processes and how they can be diagnosed.• Apply the fundamental concepts and processes in pathophysiology in the body systems and describe the causes and roles of the inflammatory process and immune system mechanisms in the prevention of disease.• Recognize the relationship of developmental stages and other factors to various disease conditions and explain the causes and methods of diagnosis of cancer.• Explain specific disorders based on incidence and occurrence and use them as a template towards understanding other disorders and follow the pathway of pain thru the nervous system and discuss how it can be alleviated.• Describe the plasticity of the central nervous system and what causes subsequent motor responses to occur in response to aging decline and pathogens.• Describe the mechanisms of endocrinology and describe how hormonal changes work with neurotransmitters and the immune system in regulating the other systems, especially in diabetes.• Describe the stages in the development and course of an infection; include typical, local and systemic signs of infection.• Compare Hodgkin’s disease and non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas, including pathophysiology, signs, and treatment.• Describe and compare the pathophysiology, etiology, manifestations, diagnostic tests, and treatment for each of the selected anemias (professor will identify anemias you are responsible for in class).• Compare Crohn’s disease with ulcerative colitis with regard to pathophysiology, etiology, manifestations, and possible complications.• Compare osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis with regard to pathophysiology, etiology, manifestations, and possible complications. *The learning goals displayed here are those for one section of this course as offered in a recent semester, and are provided for the purpose of information only.
