Consultation procedures Your subject coordinator will be available for consultation. This may be in person, by telephone or email. Students may attempt to contact her/him at any time, but appointments are best arranged in advance via email to be certain that she/he will be available. Students are reminded to be respectful and professional in their communication with their colleagues and staff at all times. This applies to all communications and includes emails, forum postings, phone calls, contact sessions (online and/or face to face lectures, practicals & tutorials), Subject Evaluation Survey feedback and any subject related postings in public forums outside the university (e.g. social media sites or any other form of dissemination). Please note there is zero tolerance across the School of Biomedical Sciences and University for any form of bullying/harassment, discriminatory behaviour (on any basis) or other nonprofessional conduct.

Abstract This subject explores pathophysiological processes contributing to disease. This subject focuses on pathophysiological processes associated with musculoskeletal, cardiovascular and respiratory dysfunction. Relevant pharmacology is integrated throughout.

Learning outcomes Upon successful completion of this subject, students should: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

be able to: define common pathophysiological and pharmacological terms; describe characteristics and origin of different types of cellular injury; demonstrate an understanding of cellular adaptation to injury; identify the interaction and relative contribution genetic and environmental factors have on health breakdown; describe the characteristics of cancerous cells; describe the four pharmacokinetic processes (absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination); outline key pharmacodynamic principles (eg agonist and antagonists, receptordrug interactions); describe the involvement of microorganisms in disease; name and describe the actions of the major classes of antimicrobial drugs; describe the consequences of alterations in fluids, electrolytes and acidbase balance; outline the major haematological pathologies and malignancies; describe the pathogenesis of major cardiovascular system dysfunction; describe the aetiology and manifestations of shock; outline the primary pharmacological interventions used in the treatment of cardiovascular disease; describe the pathogenesis of common respiratory dysfunctions; describe use of pharmacological agents in the treatment and management of respiratory pathophysiological states; describe the major types of musculoskeletal pathology including both mechanical and physiological injuries; demonstrate understanding of the origin and main theories of pain; and explain the pharmacological treatment of inflammation and pain.

Subject content This subject will cover the following topics: • Pathophysiological and pharmacological foundations Basic principles in physiology and pharmacology Cellular responses to stress, injury, and ageing Infectious disease and antimicrobial agents • General pathophysiology and associated pharmacology Neoplastic disorders and antineoplastic agents Pain and analgesic agents Charles Sturt University Subject Outline BMS291 202030 PT I Version 1 - Published 17 February 2020

Inflammation, adaptive immunity and anti-inflammatory agents Fluid, electrolyte and acid-base imbalances and associated pharmacology • Systematic pathophysiology and associated pharmacology Musculoskeletal dysfunction (arthritis, osteoporosis, metabolic disorders, muscular dystrophy) and associated pharmacology Cardiovascular dysfunction (coagulopathy, hypertension, atherosclerosis, dysrhythmias, pump failure) and associated pharmacology Respiratory dysfunction (asthma, chronic airways limitation, hypoventilation, pulmonary hypertension) and associated pharmacology

Key subjects Passing a key subject is one of the indicators of satisfactory academic progress through your course. You must pass the key subjects in your course at no more than two attempts. The first time you fail a key subject you will be at risk of exclusion; if you fail a second time you will be excluded from the course. The Academic Progress Policy (https://policy.csu.edu.au/view.current.php?id=00250) sets out the requirements and procedures for satisfactory academic progress, for the exclusion of students who fail to progress satisfactorily and for the termination of enrolment for students who fail to complete in the maximum allowed time.

Prerequisite subject/s BMS192 or (BMS130 and MCR101)

Subject Schedule & Delivery Prescribed text The textbooks required for each of your enrolled subjects can also be found via the Student Portal Textbooks (http://student.csu.edu.au/study/study-essentials/textbooks) page. The prescribed textbooks for BMS291 are: 1. Principles of Pathophysiology, 2nd Edition (2013), by Shane Bullock and Majella Hales (Pearson). 2. Medical Pharmacology at a Glance, 8th Edition (2015), by Michael J. Neal (Wiley)

Links to eBook chapters from CSU library will be provided for each topic via the Interact2 site, so you will have free online access to content. If prefered, you can purchase these in hardcopy from several retailers, or in electronic format from Pearson and Wiley Publishing, respectively. The Bullock & Hales textbook can be purchased directly from Pearson with free postage and at discounted prices from the links below: Charles Sturt University Subject Outline BMS291 202030 PT I Version 1 - Published 17 February 2020
