Learning Objectives

• MALATTIE DEL SISTEMA ENDOCRINO
  

  Acquirement of the basal knowledge about anatomy, physiology, embryology of the endocrine and metabolic system. Study of biochemistry of the hormones and basal metabolism, genetics of endocrine diseases, male disorders, metabolic diseases, and pathogenesis of complications. Acquirement of the basal knowledge for the epidemiologic evaluation and prevention, diagnosis and treatment of the endocrine diseases (including pediatric endocrinology, puberty, endocrine tumors and hormone-dependent tumors, endocrinology of aging, endocrinology and physiopathology of human reproduction), congenital and acquired male disorders (including erectile dysfunction and sexual disorders prevention and treatment of couple infertility and skills for assisted fertilization) and metabolic disorders (including inherited metabolic disorders, diabetes during infancy and pregnancy, prevention and treatment of diabetes complications, obesity, lipid metabolism disorders, bone metabolic diseases). Acquirement of the basal knowledge required to prevent, identify and treat the main endocrine and metabolic emergencies; acquirement of functional and instrumental semiotics of endocrine and metabolic diseases.
