Learning outcomes
Discuss the principal epidemiologic, morphologic, phenotypic, clinicopathologic features, and etiopathogenesis of common neoplastic and non neoplastic disorders, focusing on cardiovascular and neuromuscolar disorders. Describe the methods used to process and analyze tissue samples for diagnostic Anatomic Pathology, including histopathology and ultrastructural laboratory instrumentation and devices. Discuss innovative technologies for early diagnosis of disease, and for the identification of new molecular targets for tumor therapies.
Course contents
- definition of Pathological Anatomy
- Methods and Techniques in Pathological Anatomy
- Tumor classification
- malignant Tumor of Thyroid
- SNC tumor classification
- Molecular aspects of SNC Tumor
- Pathogenetic mechanism of ischemic myocardium disease
- Neuromuscular disease: muscle pathology
- Methods and techniques in muscle pathology diagnostics
- Elementary lesions of glomerular diseases
- Electron microscopy : Transmission and scanning electron microscopes
- Protocols in sample preparation for ultrastructural diagnosis

The Course is completed by 1 CFU of practical activity in the Laboratory at Laboratorio di Morfologia (FABIT). Specific muscle disease cases will be directly studied and analyzed at light microscopy (30 microscopes are available) and discussed in student group and in a plenary session guided by both the teacher and tutor
