Course desciption
The course aims to integrate the biological principles of disease processes with their clinical manifestations - the signs and symptoms which enable a diagnosis to be made. Clinical lectures (e.g. on chronic heart failure, valvular heart disease, cancer) and lectures on mechanisms of disease (ischemia, monoclonal Ab, exosomes, apoptosis) and therapy (e.g. stem cells, regenerative medicine, immune therapy, cell - mediated cytotoxic) are given. Students have to deliver a presentation on one of the diseases in which the aetiology, therapies and experimental models used to study these items are discussed. The course is concluded by a written exam.
