In order to comprehend the pathophysiology of the given disease student should have solid knowledge from theoretical disciplines preceding this course in the medical curriculum. In particular, anatomy (to imagine a site affected by disease and neighboring structures), biochemistry (mainly focusing on metabolism), physiology (functioning of the healthy body), immunology (since the immune system is involved to some degree in the majority of disease processes) and microbiology (pathogens representing an important biological external cause of disease).

Course Enrolment Limitations

The course is only offered to the students of the study fields the course is directly associated with.

Course objectives

Pathophysiology is a subject focusing on causes (aetiology) and mechanisms of disease development (pathogenesis) incl. changes inflicted by diseases on the level of the whole organism. Disease is usually (with exception of sudden events) a long terms process hidden (asymptomatic) for some time and only later and under certain circumstances might become clinically apparent illness. We aim to help the students to understand WHY and HOW are the changes unfolded. We also aspire to facilitate understanding disease etiopathogenesis complexly, i.e. from initial molecular and/or genetic alterations, via cellular, tissue and organ or event. systemic process. Pathophysiology represents an integrating discipline in medical curriculum bridging the theoretical/preclinical and clinical phase. Inextricably, despite the predominantly theoretical nature of the subject, we want to contribute to the building of the „evidence based medicine“ paradigm accompanied by the appreciation of the „precision medicine“ concept.

Due to the current situation regarding the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 epidemics a concomitant measures imposed by Czech government, South Moravia regional epidemiology office and university management we will combine contact teaching (practicals) together with lectures accompanied by online lecture stream. Handouts for lectures will be provided via IS in pdf.
