MECHANISMS OF DISEASE
(MEDICEN128) - Professor A.G. Tzioufas
Περιγραφή Μαθήματος
The Mechanisms of disease course examines the mechanisms that are responsible for the development of important clinical syndromes of a patient as reported to the doctor such as fever, pain, anemia, dermatological or neurological manifestations, etc. In this way, the students are introduced to clinical medicine and connect the knowledge they acquired in the pre-clinical years with the clinical act.
Topics:
- ▪ General considerations of clinical medicine
- ▪ Pain
- ▪ Fever
- ▪ Nervous system dysfunction syndromes
- ▪ Syndromes with manifestations from the eye, nose and throat
- ▪ Respiratory and circulatory disorders
- ▪ Disorders of the gastrointestinal system
- ▪ Fluid and electrolyte disorders
- ▪ Dermatological disorders
- ▪ Hematological problems
- ▪ Genes, environment, and diseases

Course Objectives/Goals
Among the most important and captivating aspects of scientific investigation and medical knowledge are the mechanisms underlying various diseases. The Mechanisms of Disease course is designed to provide students with an understanding of the intricate processes underlying the development of key clinical syndromes reported by patients to healthcare professionals. It outlines the basic mechanisms, operating at the molecular, cellular and tissue levels, revealing the essence of how human diseases manifest. This course serves as a bridge between the theoretical knowledge acquired in the pre-clinical years and its practical application in clinical medicine. Students will explore a diverse array of topics, including but not limited to fever, pain, anemia, dermatological issues, immune mediated, neurological manifestations ect. The study of this topic not only enriches clinical understanding but also lays a solid foundation for those who wish to pursue basic and translation research.
The objectives of the course are the following:
- Understand and explain the origins (aetiologies) and developmental mechanisms (pathogenesis) of diseases, including chronic inflammation, abnormalities of immunity (allergies, autoimmunity), cardiovascular disease, and tumors.
- Integration of Pre-Clinical and Clinical Knowledge
- In-Depth Exploration of Clinical Syndromes
- Holistic understanding of the link between pathophysiological mechanisms and clinical syndromes.
- Application of Molecular and Cellular Knowledge
