DEPARTMENT AND CLINIC OF INTERNAL MEDICINE

Courses

Veterinary physiopathology
Veterinary clinical diagnostics
Internal medicine
Avian and exotic animal diseases (Diseases of exotic pet animals)

List and short description of the subjects

A. Veterinary physiopathology

Lectures:
A. General physiopathology /15 hours/ - General information. The subject of physiopathology and its relation to other subjects. Notions of illness and health

  • Part I. Pathophysiology of homeostasis.
  • Part II. Pathophysiology of protective mechanisms.
  • Part III. Pathophysiology of intermediary metabolism of major organic compounds

B. Specific pathophysiology - disturbances of organic-functions /30 hours/ - Disturbances of O2 transport. Anemia. - Alterations of white blood cells and thrombocytes. - Heart insufficiency and shock. - Disturbances of internal and external breathing. - Disturbances in prehension of food, chewing and swallowing. - Rumen dysfunctions - Abomasal dysfunctions. Disturbances of the monogastric functions. - Disturbances in intestinal motility and digestion. - Disturbances of liver functions. - Disturbances of renal functions. Forms of renal insufficiency. - Disturbances of lower excretory functions. - Osteopathies. - Pathophysiology of neural functions - Disturbances of the neuro-muscular synapsis - Disturbances of muscular function - Disturbances of endocrine organs

Practical lessons:

  1. Studies on some factors of homeostasis. Changes of Ca2+, Mg2+ and their effect. Acid-base balance investigations.
  2. Disturbances of hemostasis /bleeding time, coagulation time, PTT, thrombocyte count/.
  3. Studies of inflammation processes /white blood cell count, qualitative blood smear, glutaraldehide-test, blood sedimentation/
  4. Investigations of intermediary processes /nitrogen and protein metabolism: blood and milk urea, serum proteins; carbohydrate metabolism: blood glucose, ketone bodies; lipid metabolism: total lipid, cholesterol, free fatty acids, triglycerol/
  5. Studies on anaemias /hemoglobin, red blood cell count, MCV, MCH, MCHC/
  6. ECG studies
  7. Studies on hypoxia
  8. Studies on shock syndromes
  9. Studies on altered breathing processes
  10. Disturbances of rumen fermentation I.
  11. Disturbances of rumen fermentation II.
  12. Intestinal and exocrine pancreas function
  13. Liver function studies
  14. Renal function studies
  15. Studies of the liquor cerebrospinalis and punctata of serosal cavities
