Knowledge of the main causes of disease and related etiopathogenetic mechanisms. Fundamental pathophysiological mechanisms of the main devices and systems. Main organisms pathogenic to humans and the biological fundamental mechanisms of defense of the organism. The inflammatory process, the neoplastic transformation. Elements of techniques in pathological anatomy: samples, fixation, preparation of histological preparations and reporting Istologi and cytological examinations. Grading and staging of neoplasms.

1. Knowledge and understanding. By the end of the course, students will have understood basic biomedical sciences, enabling them to recognize the physiological and pathological processes associated with health and disease.
2. Ability to apply knowledge and understanding. Students will acquire the ability to utilize a set of theoretical skills derived from nursing, biological, behavioral, and social sciences to recognize the needs of their patients.
3. Independent judgment. Students will be able to make decisions through a scientific approach to solving patient problems.
4. Communication skills. Students will be able to apply the lessons learned, evaluating the most appropriate language to express their knowledge.
5. Learning skills. Students will develop independent study skills; they will acquire the methodological tools to continue their studies.

To Have basic knowledge of biology, biochemistry, anatomy, and physiology, as well as knowledge of the fundamentals of clinical nursing, as per the first semester program.

Classes are in-person, in Italian, and are taught face-to-face in the classroom, supported by slides and/or video clips. Interaction with students is planned during the lessons for clarification.

Attendance is mandatory and is recorded by signing a register.

The overall structure of the exam is specified in detail during the first lesson by the course coordinator, and each teacher will provide an adequate description of the exam for their module. The exam for each module is a written test. Depending on the module, the exam consists of both closed and open-ended questions covering topics covered in class. Closed-ended answers will be given a score at the discretion of each instructor; for open-ended questions, the instructor will assign a score based on knowledge of the subject matter, clarity of presentation, and the accuracy and appropriateness of the terminology used. A score of 18/30 or higher is considered a pass.

Acute inflammation, cells of the natural and acquired immune system
