Objectives of the course: The course offers gaining of knowledge regarding the management of acute trauma. Special emphasis is given to the management of the seriously injured patient (immobilization, transport, algorithm for the initial assessment and management).
Contents of the course: History of trauma management. Mechanisms of injuries. Trauma systems. Initial assessment and management of the injured person. Establishment of stable airway and maintenance of breathing. Shock. Injuries to the brain and to the spinal cord and vertebral column. Injuries to the chest. Injuries to the abdomen. Injuries to the pelvis and lower extremities. Thermal injuries. Specific injuries to: children, elderly, pregnant women, athletes, drunk people, people with iv substance abuse, child abuse). Almost drowning. Insect, reptile bites. Animal, human bites. Methods of immobilization and transport.
Mode and outcomes of teaching: The course is taught in several lectures in combination with practice on simulators, on the different steps of management of a multi-injured person. At the end of the course the students have gained good knowledge on the trauma systems and the mechanisms of trauma. They have gained also significant knowledge and experience in the assessment and management of the multi-injured patient.

Objective of the course: The value of prevention is taught poorly in Medical Schools. The main duty of doctors has always been perceived to be patient care and many doctors see this as their unique role. However, prevention is very important in medicine because the disease is not pleasant, hospitalization costs and the restoration of health is not always feasible. The main purpose of the course is to transfer knowledge and information to medical students in order to increase their awareness of ways to prevent cardiovascular diseases.
Course content: Cardiovascular disease (coronary events, strokes, aortic aneurysms, carotid arterial disease, peripheral arterial disease) is the modern global epidemic and atherosclerosis is the main underlying pathophysiology. Atherosclerosis is a complex chronic inflammatory process that affects the medium and large sized arteries of the body. Atherosclerosis begins early in life, progresses slowly and silently for decades and unfortunately has an unpredictable outcome in many cases; half of the patients still die suddenly.
The topics of the course include:
- Clinical presentation of cardiovascular diseases. The concept of risk factor.
- Arterial Hypertension. Basic rules of prevention for the general clinician.
- Obesity and Diabetes; Role of nutrition.
- Smoking; Abdominal aortic aneurysms - Cerebrovascular events.
- Cardiovascular Risk Assessment: Usefulness and Limitations of Common Risk Scores.
- Treating dyslipidemia.
- Sudden cardiac death.
- Peripheral arterial disease and carotid disease: From pre-clinical detection to treatment.
- Compliance with treatment.
Mode of teaching and learning outcomes: The teachers of the course are practicing in their respective subjects. Teaching is performed via clinical examples that are given to students to resolve. A comprehensive discussion between trainees and trainers regarding specific clinical problems provides a great opportunity for learning.

Objective of the subject: Bridge basic biochemical knowledge on the immune system with clinical malfunctions in a multidisciplinary course.
Content of the subject: The course involves basic principles of immunology, interaction between immunological and nervous systems, immunological mechanisms that implicate in autoimmune rheumatic disease, in skin diseases as well as pulmonary and endocrine entities. It also presents subjects concerning immunological pathways found in infections, in renal diseases, in inflammatory bowel diseases, as well as in multiple sclerosis.
The course is taught by members of Faculty of Biological Applications and members of Faculty of Medicine, in particular Biology, Rheumatology, Dermatology, Pulmonary, Endocrinology, Microbiology, Nephrology, Neurology, Gastroenterology and Paediatrics.
Form and outcome of the tuition: The course is designed to update basic immunological underlining principles of diseased manifested in a broad clinical spectrum. The goal is understanding modern approaches to old problems. Teaching is interactive, multifunctional and involves the ability to gain an insight to the central role of the immune system in our homeostasis.
