AORTIC DISEASE FROM BENCH TO BEDSIDE

ONCOLOGY 745

Provides a background in the use of animals in the study of human disease and hands-on exposure to common techniques such as tissue collection and processing, surgeries, imaging, and other manipulations. Lectures by basic scientists and clinicians will provide background about each of the organ systems or diseases and the ethics of animal research. Prior to start of course, completion of online animal safety training. Instructions will be provided after enrollment.

BME/CRB 670

Presents diverse topics in contemporary heart biology to facilitate understanding of biological, mechanistic, and experimental concepts of cardiac physiology, disease, and regeneration. Learn cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying heart physiology, function, disease and regenerative ability in various model systems. Includes thinking critically about methodology, experimental design and interpretation, and how conclusions are reached in heart biology through cutting-edge literature.

SURGERY 912

The anatomy applicable to abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, how this influenced the development of endografts, and how that development is regulated. Investigate the issues involved in aneurysm screening, and experience aneurysm screening in the clinic and aneurysm repair in the operating room. Discuss what is involved in medical device regulation, and how the medical device industry interacts with physicians to develop and distribute technology. Evaluate how the cost of medical devices is distributed to patients.

PATH 404

Provides a basic understanding of the causes, pathophysiology, pathology and clinical manifestations of disease states from a medical perspective.

MEDICINE 913

Enhance understanding of clinical therapies and evidence-based best practice in the acute care setting. Apply this knowledge to understand clinical interventions for diseases that are seen commonly in residency: Describe the multiple common diseases and conditions; discuss their molecular biology, physiology, pathophysiology, and pharmacology; choose appropriate pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic therapies; and apply molecular biology, physiology, pathophysiology, and pharmacology to decisions about therapeutic treatment. Appraise published basic science literature and clinical guidelines, and apply knowledge to clinical case scenarios.
