The staff of the department carry out a large educational and methodological work aimed at improving the educational process and creating additional educational and methodological materials.
Pathophysiology is the science on the essence of disease and pathological processes.
Pathophysiology is the part of medicine and biology, that: studies and describes actual causes, mechanisms and laws of emergence, development and termination of diseases and pathological processes; formulates principles and methods of their detection (diagnostics), treatment and prevention; develops the doctrine of a disease and an ailing organism, formulates theoretical guidelines in medicine and biology. Therefore, it is pathophysiology (in medicine and biology) that studies the essentials of illnesses: causes and conditions of their emergence, logic of their development and outcomes.
Academic pathophysiology is a clinically oriented training course and a scientific discipline which:
- discovers and describes consistent patterns as well as precise causes and mechanisms of emergence, development and outcomes of diseases, pathological processes, states and reactions;
- determines principles and methods for their diagnosis, treatment and prevention;
- formulates theory of disease and ill organism in general, basic principles and concepts of biology and medicine.
The subject of pathophysiological studies may embrace:
- diseases, morbid conditions, pathological syndromes, states, processes and reactions;
- typical pathological processes;
- typical forms of pathology of tissues, organs and their systems.
The leading method of pathophysiology is modeling of diseases, pathological syndromes, states, processes and reactions as well as modeling of whole patient.
The objectives of pathophysiology in medical university educational process are:
1) to acquire the skills to:
a) conduct pathophysiological analysis of patients with respect to causes, mechanisms and outcomes of leading pathological processes and forms of pathology;
b) formulate principles and substantiate methods for their diagnosis, treatment and prevention;
2) to develop methodological grounds and intellectual tools for efficient clinical reasoning and practical activity in health care field.
