| Course contents : | The consequences of aggressions (stress) on cells and tissues are studied: reversible injury, cell death by necrosis or apoptosis, tissue necroses, adaptation processes at the cell or tissue level, cell or tissue overloading.
Next, the subsequent reactions are discussed: inflammation, immunity, repair, healing.
The hypersensitivy reactions contribute to cell and tissue damage; some particular cases such as tuberculosis, graft rejection, auto-immune diseases are reviewed.
Vascular diseases as well as pathological conditions leading to thrombosis and embolism are studied and their consequences, ie. infarcts, are described.
The study of benign and malignant tumors include morphological features and biological properties as well as an overview on their etiology and pathogenesis. |
|
| Course objective : | Pathology is the study of diseases. The course of General Pathology aims at describing the lesions induced by aggressions and stress in cells and tissues as well as the reactions of the body. Besides, the course defines the aetiology and discusses the pathogenesis of the lesions.
General Pathology is complementary to Biochemical pathology and is the basis of comprehensive medicine; from aetiology to lesions through pathogenesis, this course introduces the study of the consequences of cell and tissue injury on the functions of the organs (physiopathology) and the expression of these consequences as diseases. |
