Objectives
APPROACH TO GASTROINTESTINAL AND HEPATIC DISEASES

THE COURSE AIMS TO PROMOTE THE UNDERSTANDING AND LEARNING OF THE PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF THE ENDOCRINE AND METABOLIC SYSTEM AND ITS CORRELATIONS WITH CLINICAL PRACTICE. THE STUDENT WILL LEARN TO PLACE THE KNOWLEDGE OF PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM IN THE CLINICAL CONTEXT. IT WILL LEARN TO RECOGNIZE THE CLINICAL ELEMENTS OF ENDOCRINE DISEASES AND TO APPLY AND EVALUATE THE APPROPRIATE DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES, ACCORDING TO THE STANDARDS OF GOOD CLINICAL PRACTICE.

ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING

- ABILITY TO INTERPRET THE MAIN DYNAMIC TESTS: ARGININE TEST, HYPOGLYCEMIA AND GHRH, OGTT, RHTSH X TG, DEXAMETHASONE, THIRST TEST
- ABILITY TO INTERPRET THE MAIN IMAGING AND INSTRUMENTAL STUDIES: THYROID ULTRASOUND, PARATHYROID, ADRENAL, OVARIAN, THYROID SCINTIGRAPHY, PARATHYROID, ADRENAL, MR AND PITUITARY, ADRENAL CT,
- ABILITY TO DIAGNOSE ON THE BASIS OF THE ANAMNESIS AND FAMILIARITY
- ABILITY TO DIAGNOSE BASED ON SYMPTOMS AND SIGNS
- ABILITY TO DIAGNOSE ON THE BASIS OF BIOCHEMICAL-HORMONAL FRAMEWORKS
- DIAGNOSTIC ORIENTATION SKILLS BASED ON INSTRUMENTAL IMAGING AND FUNCTIONAL FINDINGS
Prerequisites
GOOD KNOWLEDGE OF ANATOMY AND PATHOLOGY

Teaching Methods
ADE SEMINARS AND SMALL GROUP TEACHING - BEDSIDE TEACHING
Verification of learning
WRITTEN EXAMINATION: BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF SYSTEM AND DISEASES
ORAL EXAM. IT STARTS WITH THE DISCUSSION UPON A CLINICAL CASE, TO EVALUATE THE ABILITY OF THE CANDIDATE OF IDENTIFYING THE SYMPTOMS, TO ASK FOR DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES, TO FORMULATE A POSSIBLE DIAGNOSIS AND TO ENUNCIATE PRINCIPLES OF THERAPY
