Synopsis:

The aim of the subject is to provide the students with basics of the treated topics, namely of etiology and pathogenesis of diseases including genetic conditional nature of some diseases. Regressive and progressive changes, hypertrophy, tumorous growth. Typical reactions of an organism: inflammation, system reaction, multi-organ affection. Necropsy, biopsy, autopsy. Pathophysiology of individual functional systems of human body. Methods for monitoring of vital functions. Pathological anatomy in oncology. Pathology of infectious diseases.
