Pathophysiology Study Guides

The publishing house of Sumy State University has released new study guides for students of medical higher education institutions titled “General Nosology” and “Krok-1 in Pathophysiology.” The authors of these guides are staff members of the Department of Physiology and Pathophysiology with a course in Medical Biology of the Educational and Scientific Medical Institute: V. Yu. Harbuzova (Doctor of Biological Sciences, Professor, Head of the Department) and T. B. Oleshko (Candidate of Medical Sciences, Teaching Assistant of the Department).

Pathophysiology is a fundamental discipline that studies the mechanisms of disease development and the adaptive processes of the human body. Mastering this subject requires a deep understanding of the general patterns of pathological processes, making the use of high-quality educational resources essential for independent study. The study guide for independent student work in pathophysiology, “General Nosology,” will help students systematize their knowledge of the basic principles of pathological process development, as well as the etiology and pathogenesis of diseases. It will contribute to the formation of critical thinking and the development of professional competencies.

The study guide designed to prepare students for the Unified State Qualification Examination, “Krok-1 in Pathophysiology,” will help medical students build the necessary system of knowledge and summarize the material learned throughout the pathophysiology course. The guide includes questions from all sections of pathophysiology from the past 10 years, organized by topics and aligned with the content of each module of the discipline. This structured approach facilitates learning and improves the quality of preparation of medical students for the Unified State Qualification Examination “Krok-1.”
