Semiotics and Pathology of Systems 2
A.Y. 2020/2021
Learning objectives
The course aims to teach the epidemiology, the principal pathophysiological mechanisms, the procedures for diagnosis and management of the endocrine, metabolic, gastroenterological, rheumatological and haematological diseases.
Expected learning outcomes
The students should be able to:
i) recognize and classify the clinical manifestations of the endocrine, metabolic, gastroenterological, rheumatological and haematological disorders;
ii) recognize the frequency and the main pathological mechanisms involved in these diseases;
iii) correctly employ in the right sequence the main diagnostic exams (biochemical and molecular) as well as imaging techniques;
iv) recognize the clinical methodologies to prevent and reduce acute and chronic complications of these diseases.

Course syllabus and organization
Single session
Responsible
In the first semester the lectures will take place as concurrent classroms:
·in the classroom with a limited number of students, who have previously booked using the "lezioniUnimi" app with the unimi e-mail account username and password; (https://www.unimi.it/it/studiare/frequentare-un-corso-di-laurea/seguire-il-percorso-di-studi/orari-delle-lezioni) and at the same time through the "Teams platform" for online students ;
· The student must wear a surgical mask for the entire duration of his/her stay in the classroom and to sit using every other free seat
· the lectures will be recorded and made available on the teacher's Ariel website for students with proven difficulties to connect during classes
· the lectures will take place at the San Paolo Hospital on the 3rd floor of Blocco C. Students must access classrooms via Blocco C and exit via the side blocks (students leaving Pauling and Fleming rooms towards Blocco B and students leaving Curie, Golgi and Pasteur rooms towards Blocco A).
Students must enter from the main hall (R floor) of the San Paolo hospital and undergo body temperature measurement by the infrared cameras. It is strongly recommended to use the stairs for classrooms entering and/or leaving.
