Nutrition
Nutrition
is the biochemical and physiological process by which an organism uses
food to support its life. It provides organisms with nutrients, which
can be metabolized to create energy and chemical structures. Failure to
obtain sufficient nutrients causes
Biostatistic
Theory and application of basic statistical concepts for design of studies in health sciences, integrated with statistical software applications
Human Genetic
The human genome sequence forms the cornerstone of contemporary human genetics. This course will cover hereditary and molecular genetics as it applies to humans, with a strong genomics and human disease perspective.
Medical Mycology
Medical Mycology focuses on pathogenic fungi and the diseases they cause in humans. Areas covered in this course include the fungi that cause the most devastating and common diseases, their mechanisms of pathogenesis, the clinical problems, and the host response (both in health and disease).
Virology
A discussion of the principles of virology that will include an in depth look at the molecular and cellular events that occur during virus replication, the host cell response, and pathogenesis. Emphasis will be placed on animal viruses that impact human health and disease.
Clinical Biochemistry II
Clinical Chemistry 2 will provide an advanced knowledge of the metabolism and function of hormones and includes: the laboratory investigation of disorders of thyroid, pituitary, adrenal, hypothalamic, ovarian, testicular and renal hormones; and the use of tumour markers in oncology.
Histopathology II
Explain normal and abnormal human cell, tissue and organ structure;
Explain the basic protocols for fixing and staining organs and tissues for histological and cytological examination using light and electron microscopy;
Examine how certain diseases can be diagnosed using histological and cytological methods;
Describe protocols used for collecting, fixing and preparing cells for microscopic examination
