Contents | The gastro-intestinal system: anatomy, microanatomy, embryogenesis, ontogenesis, and structure/function relationship in all its tracts and annexed glandular structures. Pathologic alterations of normal functions. Main diagnostic methodologies in hepato-gastroenterology. Relationship with Immune System and with resident Microbiota. Nutrition in developmental age: Overview of normal nutrition and the most common pediatric diseases related to changes in nutrition. Theoretical bases and practical skills for the diagnostic recognition of nutrition disorders with particular attention to anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder. The theoretical bases for the recognition of the psychological dynamics underlying the eating disorders and the information for a correct nutritional intervention with subjects suffering from a psychic pathology will also be provided. |
Textbook and course materials | Lessons notes and syllabus enclosed. |
Course objectives | To teach how does the gut develop, function and its structure/function relation. To explain the bio-molecular basis of development of the main pathologies of digestive tract. |
Prerequisites | Human physiology |
Teaching methods | The course includes theoretical-frontal lessons, integrated with in-depth seminars on nutrition-related issues and with the use of active group teaching. The lessons are also completed by clinical examples. |
Evaluation methods | Structured tests as a written exam with multiple choice questions; final oral examination. The oral examination will evaluate the knowledge acquired by the student in the different areas of the course and his ability to critically link the different areas and to summarize the relevant aspects, and his ability to use a proper language. The test will be evaluated in 30 (thirty). |
