VET340: Processes in Animal Disease

This unit examines the fundamental processes of disease that are manifest by higher vertebrates, such as vascular disturbances, inflammation, necrosis and diseases of abnormal DNA processing. Students learn practical macroscopic and microscopic interpretation skills using case studies from the School's diagnostic pathology service. The relationships between gross change, histological change, the underlying pathological process and its implications for treatment and prognosis are emphasised. Clinical material will form the basis for problem-oriented learning and developing skills in scientific communication.
