Module Indicative Content
This module aims to develop in students, an understanding of `abnormal' physiological functioning in the body. Building on the knowledge of `normal' physiological functioning from level one. This knowledge of abnormal function will include pathological processes, epidemiology, signs and symptoms associated with diseases of the various body systems. The module will also introduce clinical testing procedures that can be used within osteopathic practice to diagnose medical disorders. Students will learn and, put into practice medical case history taking and examination skills and link these skills to their understanding of the disease processes.
The students will focus there attention on the mechanisms of pathological and disease processes; local and general responses to tissue injury; the principles of infection and immunity; disorders of cell growth and genetic disorders; pathological changes in cardio-vascular, respiratory, neurological, gastro-intestinal, genito-urinary, musculo-skeletal, dermatological, and reproductive systems.
The clinical epidemiological perspectives of diseases are assessed to include the frequency of occurrence, risk, prognosis and aetiology.
Examination for the following groups of disorders; musculo-skeletal, cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, urinary tract , nervous system disorders, eye, ear, nose and throat, endocrine and metabolic disorders, blood and lymph, skin, gynaecological and obstetric.
Radiological and imaging techniques, their application and interpretation.
