Objectives

The main aim of Biopathology I is getting the students to learn a language. Learning of this language includes not only the memorisation and recall of words and of concepts but also the capability for using this knowledge in the interpretation of data and for solving pathogenic and diagnostic problems. Another purpose is getting the students to improve their observation and report skills at different levels (macroscopic, microscopic, histochemical, etc.) to become capable of understanding the etiopathogenesis of diseases in biopathological terms starting from observational data

Learning outcomes and competences

 

The syllabus encompasses topics that will enable students to identify and interpret lesions and to apply a languages, thus improving their capacity for analysing and interpreting data and for taking decisions to solve pathogenic, diagnostic and prognostic problems.

Working method

Presencial

Program

Major lesion types: from mutilating necrosis to the cancerous neostructure; Introduction to molecular pathology; Genetic-environmental interaction in the genesis of diseases; Inflammation, necrosis and neoplasia; Proliferation, differentiation and cell death; Adaptation and lesion; Cell death: Necrosis and apoptosis; Regulation of proliferation; Regulation of apoptosis; Acute inflammation; Chronic inflammation and granulomatous inflammation; Regeneration; Angiogenesis; Isquemic, metabolic, degenerative and auto-immune disorders; Inflammatory and infectious diseases of the digestive tract, liver, lung and kidney

Teaching methods and learning activities

243 hours/student, corresponding to 85h presential teaching: 1h/week - lectures; 2h/week – seminars; 2h30min/week - practical sessions, 7h30min of anatomo-clinical sessions and autopsy. The practical session is dedicated to observation of macroscopic, histological and ultrastructural specimens. The clinical history and pathological data of Seminars are available to the students at the e-Learning page of the discipline and includes autopsy cases. There will be three anatomo-clinical sessions of 4.5h. E-learning course:information on the objectives of the Discipline, program, calendar, assessment, model examination and additional material to introduce contents that are not explicit in the text books, glossary, introductory texts for the practical sessions, quizzes, material for preparing the Seminars.

Assessment: Practical part (6 marks), Theoretical part (11 marks), assessment for Seminars (1 mark), Practical Sessions (1 mark) and bi-weekly quizzes (1 mark). The final classification results from the sum of the partial classifications.

Eligibility for exams

According to the norms from the Pedagogical Council. Students with special regimes (e.g. student workers) will also follow the norms from the Pedagogical Council.

Calculation formula of final grade

Practical part (6 marks), Theoretical part (11 marks), assessment for Seminars (1 mark), Practical Sessions (1 mark) and bi-weekly quizzes (1 mark). The final classification results from the sum of the partial classifications.

The practical exam consists of 45 multiple-choice questions and lasts for 34 minutes (45 seconds /question). The theoretical exam consists of 120 multiple-choice questions and lasts for 120 minutes (1 minute /question). There is no minimum grade in any of the evaluation components.

Examinations or Special Assignments

Fortnightly quizzes at the e-learning platform. Preparation of weekly Seminars.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Norms from the Pedagogical Council will be applied.

Classification improvement

Students with over 16 marks as final classification have to perform an oral exam to maintain (or improve) the final mark, with the knowledge that the result of the oral test can be the maintenance, rise or fall of the grade. If these students choose not to take an oral exam, they will be given the final classification of 16 values. There will be no other circumstances for improvement of classification, except those related with the contestation procedures provided for in article 22 of the FMUP Pedagogical Regulation.
