Obiettivi Formativi
Knowledge and understanding (Knowledge and know)
The course aims at providing a complete overview of the structural characteristics and functional properties of the main biomolecules of biomedical interest, to understand the alterations that may cause diseases.
Critically review the laboratory investigations of metabolism disorders, glucose intolerance and adult hyperglycemia. Review and critique the classification of dyslipidemias and discuss their diagnosis.
On successful completion of this module, the learner will be able to: Identify the principles and evaluate the biochemical methodologies used for the interpretation of common disorders and diseases of the tissues as (a) Kidneys (b) Heart and (c) Bone and (d) liver. Identify and appraise the laboratory investigation of selected disorders of protein metabolism. Identify and evaluate the principles, interpretation and use of clinical enzyme methods. Record, process, analyze and interpret experimental data. Demonstrate the use of various laboratory instruments and equipment.
Applying knowledge and understanding (Skills and know how).
Be able to apply the methods to analyze the specimen used in biomedical laboratory as blood, urine, SCF in order to identify specific markers of pathology. Be able to employ the acquired notions to select specific list of exams to use for a complete diagnostic procedure and to select the appropriate technologies.
