Obiettivi Formativi

Acquisire le conoscenze teoriche e pratiche sulle manifestazioni dei processi patologici nei vari sistemi dell'organismo, ivi compresi i tumori, correlate ai meccanismi eziopatogenetici ed alle interrelazioni che si verificano fra gli stessi, nei loro aspetti generali, particolari e diagnostici, attraverso l’utilizzo di buone manualità metodologiche di diagnostica morfofisiopatologica che permettano di rilevare e valutare criticamente i dati relativi allo stato di salute e di malattia dell'animale singolo ed in allevamento, interpretandoli alla luce delle conoscenze scientifiche delle patologie di organo e di apparato dal punto di vista macroscopico e citoistopatologico.

Learning Goals

Acquisition of theoretical and practical knowledge about pathological changes of organ systems, including tumours, related to aetiopathogenic mechanisms and mutual relationships, in their general, particular and diagnostic aspects through the use of good diagnostic morphophysiopathological methods to detect and critically evaluate information relating to health and disease in of individual animal, reinterpreted in the light of scientific knowledge of disease and organ system in terms of macroscopic and cyto-histopathological features.

Metodi didattici

Lezioni frontali in aula, seminari di approfondimento tematici su argomenti di particolare interesse, esercitazioni in aula o in laboratorio, istopatologia e citologia, necroscopie su carcasse di animali convenzionali e non.

Teaching Methods

Lectures, seminars, supervised activity, self directed learning/e-learning, practical sessions (histopathology, cytology, necropsies on different animal carcasses, morphopathological examination of surgical excissed tissues or animal organs from slaughtering activity)

Prerequisiti

Il discente deve dimostrare di conoscere l’anatomia normale e topografica, nonché i normali meccanismi fisiologici e fisiopatologici dei grandi apparati degli animali convenzionali e non. Gli studenti devono possedere le conoscenze di materie propedeutiche (Patologia generale veterinaria, Malattie infettive, Patologia aviare, Parassitologia e Malattie parassitarie) indispensabili alla comprensione delle correlazioni morfopatologiche ed eziopatogenetiche con gli argomenti trattati e attestate dal superamento degli esami.

Prerequisites

The learner must demonstrate knowledge of normal anatomy and topography, as well as the normal physiological and pathophysiological mechanisms of major equipment of the animals and not conventional. Students should have knowledge of preparatory materials (Veterinary Pathology, Infectious Diseases, Avian Pathology, Parasitology and Parasitic Diseases) essential to the understanding of the correlation morfopatologiche and etiopathogenetic with the topics covered and certified by passing the exams.

Verifiche dell'apprendimento

Valutazione in itinere dell'apprendimento Esami pratici su preparati cito-istopatologici, esame macroscopico di lesioni su organi o tessuti asportati chirurgicamente, tecnica autoptica su carcasse di diverse specie animali Esame ora finale con votazione

Assessment

Interim checks on students’ learning progress. Practical exams on cyto-histopathological slides,gross pathological lesions on images, organs, surgically excissed tissues, necropsy technique on animal carcasses. Final oral exam oral form living marks.
