Physiopathology of human reproduction
(objectives)
At the end of the course the student will be able to describe the main complications related to the different phases of a woman’s life, pregnancy and birth control, character, signs and symptoms of the main pathologies of surgical interest, preparation for surgery, risk factors in surgery and post-operative complications. Further objective of the course is the identification of the main pathologies of interest to internal medicine, as well as a knowledge of the risk factors, clinical presentation, diagnostic approaches and, lastly, patient management. Later, the course shall also present some more detailed analyses of women of fertile age. When relevant specific arguments regarding the presentation and consequences of the treated pathologies in for pregnant women will be examined more specifically along with their pre-disposing factors. Moreover, the course aims to provide students with the skills to understand the concept of Public Health, basic principles of epidemiology and clinical study designs and learn about food hygiene and health protection of workers in the places of life and work, especially for the prevention of biological risk. The course also aims to provide tools for health education and health literacy to involving people in decisions concerning their health and necessary statistical bases to set up a research and collect and analyse data. The student must acquire a correct statistical terminology and be able to understand and interpret a scientific study. Finally, this course aims at providing the student with the fundamental knowledge of Pharmacology, including the branches of Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics, with specific reference to pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic parameters modification during pregnancy. The course also aims at providing the student with the fundamental knowledge of some Special Pharmacology topics, specifically related to steroidal and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, opioid analgesics and sighs of endocrine pharmacology and contraceptives.
