Provide the theoretical and practical tools to recognize the main pathologies typical of Emergency Medicine. Of each will be discussed pathophysiology, symptoms and the diagnostic and decision processes of their figure of majoring in obstetrics. The most common therapeutic protocols, both to deal with and manage autonomously will be presented and discussed, and those to be made on the recommendation / prescription and alongside with medical doctor
The first part of the present course will provide students to acquire knowledge about basic principles in Pharmacology, such as pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, drugs mechanisms, signal transduction pathways, adverse drug reactions. In the second part, an overview of major drug classes used in obstetrics and during pregnancy will be presented.
The aim of the course is to provide information and knowledge about workplace-related pathologies (accidents and illnesses) as well as to become familiar with prevention principles, with particular reference to risk assessment and preventive measure adoption.
Students will have to learn methods and techniques to collect work history, identify environmental and occupational risks and possible relationships with genetic, demographic, socio-economic, psychological and cultural factors, related to health or illness statuses, as well as to look into the possible non-specific effects of occupational risk factors, especially for degenerative chronic diseases.
The main etiologically diagnostic aspects of occupational medicine will be dealt with, and so will the epidemiology of con-causally work-related diseases. Also, the most frequent professional diseases and work accidents will be classified. The main analysis method and work risk assessment instruments will be provided, that is limit exposure levels, environmental/biological monitoring and healthcare surveillance. Also, occupational risk in/formation, safety and health law guidelines in work places, primary and secondary prevention of occupational diseases, role and duties of the competent physician will be discussed.
