Description This module examines advanced physiology and the pathophysiological disruptions of normal body functioning in a variety of conditions across the lifespan. Students will explore screening, risk factors and pathophysiology and epidemiology underlying acute and chronic health problems. We will look at disease states from cellular level and their associated clinical manifestations . Students will study the epidemiology of disease and the determinats of health. It is intended to describe the pathophysiological variations in diverse populations and diagnostic evaluation methods, which will aid in the selection of rational therapies fro optimum health outcomes. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Learning Outcomes 1. Recognise abnormal clinical manifestations of common disease states across the lifespan. 2. Explore risk factors and screening recommendations as per best practice guidelines. 3. Describe the aetiology and underlying pathophysiological mechanisms involved with diseases at the systemic and cellular level. 4. Discuss abnormal biological processes of selected common conditions in diverse populations. 5. Explain factors that influence disease states in population health and the global incidence and prevalence of diseases. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
