Principles of Pathology<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pathology is the study of disease.\nIt is central to the whole practice of evidence- based medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The course is an introduction to the\nstudy of disease, including pathology and dynamics of disease states. Disorders\nof the form and tissues are reviewed and their relationships to clinical\nmanifestations are emphasized. Initial considerations concern general\npathology, including such topics as cell damage, cell death, circulatory\ndisorders, inflammatory conditions, genetic disease, neoplasia, infection and\nimmunity, environmental pathology, etc. Attention thereafter is directed toward\nthese factors as they apply in the different organ systems. Concepts integral\nto laboratory medicine are included throughout the course, with special\nemphasis on clinical pathology. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The course includes four hours of\nlecture and four hours of class inclusive sessions per week. The discussion\ngroup presents an opportunity to review microscopic slides, and case-oriented\nmaterial, with emphasis on pathology. The lecture and discussion subject matter\nis coordinately scheduled to coincide with subjects being presented in other\nyear or departments courses, including Microbiology, Pharmacology, and\nIntroduction to Clinical Practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Practical classes include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Microscopic slides: \n2 hrs. per week: Teach the student the microscopy.<\/li>
    2. Pathological specimens with discussion: 1 hr. per\nweek: Teach the student how to take specimens for histopathological\nexamination, the ways of preservation, fixation   and the histopathological techniques.\nExamine of available pathological specimens.<\/li>
    3. Tutorials:  One\nhour per week: The aims:                                       <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

       \n           – Give the students the opportunity to ask\nfurther information.                   <\/p>\n\n\n\n
