Learning Objectives

  • Skin disorders and sexually transmitted diseases

    The teaching of Cutaneous and Venereal Diseases aims primarily to provide the basics of anatomy and physiology of the skin, of visible mucous membranes and skin appendages, whose knowledge is essential for a correct clinical and diagnostic assessment. The student is then guided to the identification and classification of primary skin lesions and of the corresponding cutaneous disorders. In addition, the basic knowledge of the most modern diagnostic techniques allowing a rational and correct diagnosis will be provided. The histopathological correlations and the appropriate treatment options will also be considered. The course will finally focus on occupational dermatoses, skin cancer, and venereology (sexual transmitted diseases).

  • Endocrinology

  • MALATTIE DELL'APPARATO RESPIRATORIO

    Functions and Organization of the Respiratory System. Diagnostic procedures and respiratory functional evaluation. Pathogenesis and clinical aspects of the main respiratory diseases.
