The aim of the module is to provide the student with the knowledge of the chosen profession, skills in the field of prevention , diagnosis and cancer patient management

At the end of the course the student must have acquired knowledge of congenital malformations, in particular Hirschsprung's disease, wall malformations, digestive tract, and urinary tract malformations.
The training objectives that must be achieved concern the ability to develop a sufficient knowledge of the clinical and diagnostic problems inherent in the affections of surgical relevance in the pediatric field.

The student will study the physiology of the endocrine system and metabolism. They will be analyzed the causes and pathophysiological mechanisms of the main diseases of the endocrine system, with particular reference to women in pregnancy.
In particular, the main knowledge acquired will be regarding:
- physiological and physiopathological bases, clinical aspects and gender differences of the main diseases of the endocrine system
- the physiology of the endocrine system and the study of the main diseases of the endocrine system and of the metabolism in pregnancy.

Specific competence will be acquired in the management, diagnosis and care of women suffering from endocrine-metabolic pathologies in pregnancy.

The fundamental educational objective of the teaching is the knowledge of pregnancy in the different phases both in terms of prevention and diagnosis of the pathologies related to it. In particular, the issues of interest are:

The objectives of the course are to provide the student with the knowledge of the main mechanisms of physiology and pathology of human reproduction. The student will learn the physiological reproductive process,understanding the basic biological concepts of human reproduction and alterations of the reproductive mechanisms that can cause in fertility in the couple.
He will know them a inbenign gynecological pathologies and endocrinological disorders of the ovarian cycle that can cause infertility.It will also acquire knowledge in instrumental and laboratory diagnosis of both male and female infertility.The aim is also tolearn about the different path ways of assisted reproductive technology(ART) and how ART is ruled by law.
He will therefore learn the main benign gynecological pathologies and the endocrinological alterations of the ovarian cycle that can cause infertility. He will also acquire skills in instrumental and laboratory diagnosis of both male and female infertility. The objective is also to teach the different pathways of medically assisted procreation (PMA),as well as on the current legislation on ART in Italy and worldwide.
