Pathobiochemistry for 3rd year General Medicine students, winter term 2012/2013 The course is a series of lectures on metabolic basis of both hereditary and acquired diseases with emphasis on general pathogenetic mechanisms, rather than specific diseases. In addition, some general processes such as inflammation and allergy have been omitted on purpose, because they are taught later in specialized courses ( e.g. immunology) in much more detail than would have been possible in the limited number of lectures available for pathobiochemistry. Three areas of biochemical pathogenetic mechanisms form the backbone of the course: 1) hereditary metabolic disorders, 2) disorders of cell signaling (cancer in particular), and 3) disorders of the inner environment and limits of its maintenance (degenerative diseases, ischemia, and ageing). The lectures are given by teachers from The Institute of Inherited Metabolic Disorders, the Institute of Biochemistry and Experimental Oncology, and the Institute of Medical Biochemistry. This academic year (2012/2013) the course is organised by the The Institute of Inherited Metabolic Disorders. The lectures are held according to the schedule (see "Syllabus") in the Lecture Hall of the Department of Stomatology, Kateřinská 32, the third floor, every Wednesday and Friday from 10.45 to 12.15. The first lecture will take place on Wednesday, 3rd. October, 2012 ("Introduction to biochemical genetics"). The lectures are non-mandatory and attendance is not taken. However, detailed knowledge of topics presented at the lectures will be required at the exam; therefore attendance at the lectures is highly recommended. The subject ends with a credit and oral examination. The credit will be issued by the examiner at the oral exam without any specific formal requirements. Further information concerning the oral examination, including the new exam questions, and recommended study literature will be announced in the near future. If you have any questions or comments, please contact Martin Hřebíček, M.D., PhD. ([e-mail], tel. [phone]).
