Obiettivi Formativi
At the successful conclusion of this module, you should be able to demonstrate the following module level learning outcomes (MLOs):
MLO.1 Knowledge & Understanding.
You will be able to explain pathological mechanisms, features of injury and repair, causes of pathological changes, disease processes, and their clinical relevance.
MLO.2 Application of Knowledge
You will be able to apply concepts of general pathology to explain disease progression and interpret pathological changes.
MLO.3 Autonomy of Judgement.
You will be able to make informed judgments on complex pathological processes and reflect on shared mechanisms like inflammation and immunopathologies.
MLO.4 Communication Skills. You will be able to clearly communicate pathological mechanisms and present pathology findings in writing.
MLO.5 Learning Skills
You will be able to navigate lectures, practicals, and digital resources, integrating pathology with related disciplines for academic and clinical development.

Prerequisiti
The prerequisites are indicated in the Integrated Course Syllabus for BOD. For the module of General Pathology, a basic knowledge of chemistry, biochemistry, physiology, molecular and cellular biology, genetics, anatomy, and histology is recommended.
Metodi didattici
Teaching methods include lectures, interactive discussions, and guided independent study. Lectures present key concepts (supports CLO.1, CLO.2) and include interactive discussion of clinical cases (supports CLO.2-3), guided readings and the e-learning platform (supports CLO.5). Teaching will include guidance to help you prepare for the exam (supports CLO.4) and throughout you will be presented with references to further readings and other materials to support your development (supports CLO.5).

Contenuti
This General Pathology course provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the fundamental processes underlying major human diseases, including cell injury, inflammation, tissue regeneration and repair, immunopathologies, and cancer. It integrates molecular, cellular, and clinical perspectives to offer a coherent understanding of disease mechanisms. The Module will also include an in-depth discussion of model systems (cells, organ cultures, organisms) that have proven particularly valuable for the study of diseases. Finally, the course examines the molecular basis of disease and how disease processes develop at the cellular, tissue, and organ levels.
Topics you will study in this module include:
CELLULAR PATHOLOGY
1.Cellular adaptation and stress responses
2. Mechanisms of cell injury and pathways of cell death
INFLAMMATION
1. Hematopoiesis and inflammatory cells
2. Soluble inflammatory mediators
3. Leukocyte migration and acute inflammatory responses
4. Chronic inflammation, tissue repair, and fibrosis
5. Mechanisms of pathogen elimination
VASCULAR PATHOLOGY
1. Angiogenesis and vascular remodeling
2. Thrombotic diseases and atherosclerosis
TUMOR BIOLOGY
1. Principles of tumor biology
2. Classification of benign and malignant neoplasms
3. Molecular mechanisms of cancer
4. Clinical implications of tumors
IMMUNOPATHOLOGY
1. Hypersensitivity reactions
2. Hypersensitivity reactions (Part 2) and autoimmune disorders
3. Graft rejection and primary immunodeficiencies
4. Tumor immunology and emerging immunotherapies
