Aims and Objectives

To know and to understand the most common pathologies in order to understand the interest of biological tests and fully know how to carry biological research. To develop a scientific approach and reazoning based on anatomical and physiological knowledge.

Description

General principles : definition of the pathological state; causes of disease; means of defence; therapeuticmeans; repair process and tumoralal reaction.

Water, electrolytes: water balance; hormonal regulation of the water balance; hypo-hypernatremy and hypo-hyperkaliemia,

acido-basics disorders ; metabolic and respiratory acidosis and alcalosis.

Cardiovascular disease: ischemiccardiopathy; cardiac insufficiency ; arterial hypertension; thrombosis and embolia.

Pulmonary disease: chronic and acute respiratory insufficiency ; interest ofbiological tests.

Abdominal disease: hetatobiliary system ( cytolysis and cholestasis tests ) ; cirrhosis ; hepatitis ; vesicular lithiasis and pancreatitis.
