IV. DISCIPLINE OBJECTIVES
 
General objectives:
  1. Acquiring theoretical notions related to the topics discussed in the lecture (iron deficiency anemia, megaloblastic anemia, aplastic anemia, hemolytic anemias, acute, myeloblastic and lymphoblastic leukemias, chronic granulocytic leukemia, chronic lymphatic leukemia, multiple myeloma, Hodgkin's disease, nonHodgkin's malignant lymphomas, hemorrhagic syndromes).
  2. Recognition of normal blood cells on peripheral blood smear, recognition of leukaemic cells, recognition of the main peripheral blood changes in iron deficiency anaemia, megaloblastic anaemia, aplastic anaemia and haemolytic anaemias.
  3. Ability of students to establish a positive diagnosis on a hematology report card.
  4. Knowledge of normal blood constants (haemoglobin, leucogram, platelet count, reticulocyte count, erythrocyte indices, normal medulogram, VSH, serum creatinine, total bilirubinemia and fractions, transaminases, Quick time, Howell, INR, coagulogram).
  5. Interpretation of altered haematological constants in non-haematological conditions.
 
 
Specific objectives: on completion of the subject the student will be able to:
  1. perform a peripheral blood smear.
  2. perform an aspirated spinal tap.
  3. recognise normal and pathological haematomas on a peripheral blood smear.
  4. recognize leukemic blasts on a peripheral blood smear and an MO smear.
  5. recognise Reed-Sternberg cell and myeloma cell on a spinal cord smear.
  6. be able to interpret in context the clinical signs of haematological diseases, with the paraclinical explorations allowing the positive and differential diagnosis of these diseases.
  7. be able to make a correct differential diagnosis in all haematological diseases taught in the lecture.
  8. interpret an electrophoresis and an immunoelectrophoresis.
  9. differentiate an acute leukaemia from a leukaemoid reaction.
  10. be able to have an interactive discussion with colleagues and teaching staff on the topics studied.
 
 
 
V. SPECIFIC COMPETENCES(aims at the competences provided by the study program the subject belongs to)
Upon completion of the course the student will be able to:
1. Define the anemia syndrome, classify anemias (morphologically, etiopathogenetically, functionally, clinically), establish and argue the mechanisms of production of various types of anemias (aplastic, iron deficiency, megaloblastic, acute posthemorrhagic, hemolytic);
    Establish the investigation plan for an anemic syndrome;
  Perform a peripheral blood smear; recognise on peripheral blood smear (FSP) and haematogenous bone marrow smear (MOH) the characteristic features of different types of anaemia;
  Analyze, interpret a hematology report in a patient with anemic syndrome and argue positive and differential diagnosis;   
2. Define and classify acute leukaemias, chronic leukaemias (CLL, CLL), multiple myeloma, malignant lymphomas;
    Identify risk factors and determine their possible intervention in the pathophysiological mechanism of acute myeloblastic leukaemia, acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, chronic granulocytic leukaemia, chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, multiple myeloma and Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma malignancies;
    Recognize on the FSP and the MOH the characteristic morphological elements for LAM, LAL, LGC, LLC.
    Establish investigation plan for acute leukaemia, LGC, CLL, MM, malignant lymphomas;
   Analyze, interpret a hematology report in a patient with acute leukemia/LGC/LLC/MM/malignant lymphoma and argue positive and differential diagnosis;
   Decide and argue the establishment of pathophysiological principles of treatment in various types of acute/chronic leukaemia, MM, malignant lymphomas.
3. Define and classify thrombocytopenia and disseminated intravascular microcoagulation syndrome;
  Establish the mechanism of production of thrombocytopenia and disseminated intravascular microcoagulation syndrome (DICMS);
    Establish and interpret the investigation plan of a patient with bleeding syndrome/CID/pathological fibrinolysis;
  Analyse, interpret a haematological report in a patient with haemorrhagic syndrome/CID/pathological fibrinolysis and give reasons for the diagnosis.
 Decide and argue the establishment of pathophysiological principles of treatment in haemorrhagic syndrome/CID/pathological fibrinolysis.
