PATHOLOGY • is a bridging discipline involving both basic science and clinical practice and is devoted to the study of the structural and functional changes in cells, tissues, and organs that underlie disease.
PATHOLOGY • molecular, • microbiologic, • immunologic, • morphologic techniques Pathology explains the whys and wherefores of the signs and symptoms manifested by patients while providing a foundation for rational clinical care and therapy.
PATHOLOGY The four aspects of a disease process that form the core of pathology:
PATHOLOGY pathoMORPHOLOGY (morphology) the structural changes pathoPHYSIOLOGY (pathogenesis) the functional changes
PATHOLOGY is divided into: • general pathology • systemic pathology
PATHOLOGY general pathology (morphology) - hemodynamic disorders - cell injury, adaptation and death - inflammation - tissue renewal and repair - neoplasia
PATHOLOGY general pathology also includes - genetic disorders - diseases of immunity - infectious diseases - environmental and nutritional pathology - diseases of infancy and childhood
PATHOLOGY systemic pathology
the importance of the proper terminology what is the difference between: • neoplasm • tumour • cancer • carcinoma
PATHOMORPHOLOGY DEPARTMENT - element of the diagnostic and therapeutic structure of the hospital - scientific department - teaching department
PATHOMORPHOLOGY DEPARTMENT • histopathology • cytopathology • post-mortem diagnostics
clinical data clinicians tend to underestimate the value of the clinical data
- selection of an appropriate site and methodfor thebiopsy - appropriate preservation of the specimen
Immunohistochemistry (specific mono- and polyclonal antibodies)
determination of site of origin of metastatic tumors
detection of molecules that have prognostic or therapeutic significance
pathomorphologicalautopsies vs forensicautopsies
CASE STUDY: 21 y.o. woman collapsed at work clinical symptoms noticed by co-workers: -pale, diaphoretic skin -rapid pulse -mental status- confused
Hemodynamic disorders the following part of the lecture covers only chosen aspects of hemodynamic diorders
Hemodynamic disorders • hemorrhage • hyperemia and congestion • embolism • infarction • edema • shock • pathology of hemostasis
Guidelines for learning: • definition • etiology • pathogenesis • morphologicchanges • gross and microscopicfeatures • classification • natural history • complications • clinicalsignificance • influence of thediagnosis on therapy and prognosis for thepatient
