Welcome to Pathophysiology (PPH611S)!
In this 16-week course, you will explore how normal physiological processes become disrupted in illness and injury, with a strong focus on understanding why patients deteriorate rather than simply recognizing disease labels. The course builds progressively from cellular and tissue-level injury to inflammation, compensation, shock, metabolic failure, and genetic risk factors, providing a solid foundation for clinical reasoning in emergency care.
Through continuous assessment tasks and weekly learning activities, you will engage with both theoretical concepts and applied clinical scenarios to strengthen your ability to analyze, interpret, and evaluate physiological disturbances. Emphasis is placed on linking underlying pathophysiology to patient presentation, vital sign changes, and patterns of clinical decline commonly encountered in prehospital and emergency settings.
This course aims to equip you with the knowledge and analytical skills needed to interpret complex physiological processes, recognize early signs of deterioration, and apply pathophysiological principles to real-world clinical decision-making. By the end of the course, you should be able to integrate cellular, systemic, metabolic, and compensatory mechanisms to better understand acute illness, injury, and patient outcomes in emergency medical care.

Plant protection (PPN 601S) This course aims to provide students with knowledge and basic understanding of weeds, plant pests, diseases and disorders including methods of prevention and control including principles of Integrated Pest Management (IPM), pests control. Examples of current pest problems in different crops will be discussed. This lecture provides students with principles and best practices of crop protection, decision making process based on the ecosystem analysis, and selection of the technology that can be applied in the field. Lectures are divided into three main parts. First part discusses the definition and historical perpectives of plant protection and classification of harmful organisms; the second part deals with methods to recognize the type of pests and plant diseases, methods of observations in the field, and ecosystem analysis as the base for selecting technology; and the last part discusses the principle of Integrated Pest Management, and its implementation in different crops. By the end of this course, each student should be able to,
