PAS 5222 Clinical Pathophysiology


Lecture: 3 Lab: 0 Practica: 0 Total Credits: 3
This course provides opportunity for a detailed comprehension of human pathophysiology and its application to clinical practice. A systems-based approach is utilized to study the pathophysiology and pathogenesis of diseases commonly encountered in clinical practice.  Systems reviewed includes the lymphatic, hematologic, integumentary, respiratory, cardiovascular and peripheral vascular, gastrointestinal, renal and urological, male and female reproductive, musculoskeletal, neurological, and endocrine systems.  The multi-system involvement of common disorders is highlighted to reinforce concepts of connections and interactions of systems in the adult human body. The pathophysiology of inherited disorders and cancer development are also studied to gain additional understanding of the genetic and molecular mechanisms of disease.
