Learning Objectives

• MALATTIE APPARATO RESPIRATORIO
  

  Functions and Organization of the Respiratory System. Diagnostic procedures and respiratory functional evaluation. Pathogenesis and clinical aspects of the main respiratory diseases.

• PATOLOGIA GENERALE
  

  The main objectives of the course will be aimed at understanding: the etiological factors responsible for the alterations of cell function; the cellular and molecular pathogenic mechanisms of pathological processes; the mechanisms underlying the responses of the body's defense and immune system disorders, in particular: hypersensitivity reactions, the immunodeficiencies and autoimmune disorders; control mechanisms of cell proliferation and apoptosis.

• Microbiology and Clinical Mycrobiology
  

  Acquisition of basic knowledge of microbiology; understanding of the pathogenetic mechanisms of germs; diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and prophylaxis of infections; evaluation of infections that can specifically affect women, especially during pregnancy; identifications of possible microbial agents underlying infertility in couples
