Integrative Pathology III joins the lessons of gastroenterology and endocrinology and metabolism with the specific aim of introducing students to the physiopathology and clinic of metabolic diseases and to clinical-diagnostic reasoning. During the course, pathologies with a higher prevalence and incidence and also those with a lower prevalence and incidence and the diagnostic procedures to arrive at the diagnosis will be addressed and discussed. The lectures will be accompanied by professionalizing activities for small groups carried out both in the ward and in the outpatient clinic during which students will be able to come into contact with patients suffering from pathologies in the study. In particular, the different types of insulin analogues and their methods of insulin administration will be illustrated. Moreover, technology applied to diabetes therapy (insulin pumps) will be shown in addition to monitoring of blood sugar levels trend (blood glucose sensors). Some professionalizing activities of Methodology (regarding) diagnostic methods and on evidence-based medicine and clinical studies will be carried out in the classroom.
