Gli studenti saranno in grado di comprendere le tecniche istologiche di base, di preparare campioni istologici per l'osservazione della struttura dei principali tessuti biologici. Ci sarà la supervisione di personale di laboratorio qualificato utilizzando un approccio "sul campo".
Al termine della clerkship gli studenti saranno in grado di preparare un vetrino per esame istologico, partendo dal taglio di campioni in resina e paraffina, fino alla loro colorazione.

Gli studenti vengono introdotti alle principali tecniche istologiche e agli strumenti, materiali e reagenti necessari per l'analisi istologica.

Principi generali di microscopia ottica e microscopia elettronica.
Processamento dei campioni:

  • Campioni inclusi in paraffina:
  1. Blocchettamento dei campioni.
  2. Taglio al microtomo
  3. Raccolta sezioni su vetrino.
  • Campioni inclusi in resina:
  1. Taglio al microtomo
  2. Colorazione
  3. Analisi al microscopio ottico
  • Blood:
  1. Preparazione striscio di sangue.
  2. Colorazione cellule sangue
  3. Analisi al microscopio ottico

Conoscenza scientifica a livello medio superiore

Attività pratica nel laboratorio di istologia
(100% attività interattiva in presenza)

Histology: A Text and Atlas, with Correlated Cell and Molecular Biology, 6th Edition by Michael H. Ross PhD, Wojciech Pawlina MD.
Junqueira's Basic Histology: Text and Atlas, Thirteenth Edition by Anthony Mescher.

2° semestre

E’ richiesta la presenza a almeno il 70% delle ore di tirocinio.
La valutazione del profitto verrà effettuata tramite la piattaforma Labster utilizzata per le simulazioni di laboratorio. Durante le esercitazioni virtuali agli studenti vengono sottoposte delle domande su contenuti sia teorici sia pratici. e vengono assegnati dei punteggi. Per considerare superata la simulazione, gli studenti dovranno raggiungere almeno il 70% del punteggio massimo ottenibile in ciascuna simulazione.
La valutazione finale consisterà in idoneo/non idoneo.

Students will be able to understand the basic histological techniques, to prepare histological samples for the observation of the structure of the main biological tissues. There will be the supervision of qualified laboratory staff by using an "on field" approach.
At the end of the clerkship the student will be able to manage a resin and paraffin-embedded organ sample, and then to cut and stain for histological examination.

The students are introduced to the main histological techniques and to the instruments, materials and reagents needed for histological analysis.

General principles of sample preparation for light and electron microscopy.
Processing of samples:

  • Paraffin embedded samples:
  1. Tissue block embedding
  2. Microtome sectioning
  3. Collection of sections on slide
  • Resin embedded samples:
  1. Microtome sectioning
  2. Staining
  3. Light microscopy analysis
  • Blood:
  1. Preparation of a blood smear.
  2. Staining of blood cells
  3. Light microscopy analysis

College-level scientific knowledge

Practical activity in the histology laboratory
(Note: 100% in person interactive activities)

Histology: A Text and Atlas, with Correlated Cell and Molecular Biology, 6th Edition by Michael H. Ross PhD, Wojciech Pawlina MD.
Junqueira's Basic Histology: Text and Atlas, Thirteenth Edition by Anthony Mescher.

2nd term

It is required the attendance at a minimum of 70% of the internship hours.
Assessment
Proficiency will be assessed using the Labster platform, which is used for lab simulations. During virtual exercises, students will be asked questions about both theoretical and practical content, and points will be awarded. In order to pass each simulation, students must achieve at least 70% of the maximum score obtainable.
The final evaluation will be pass/fail.
