Programma
The project is aimed to train the MD student in the management of genetic and acquired red cell rare diseases iron metabolism. The main pathologies followed are thalassemia, sickle cell anemia, hemoglobinopathies, spherocitosis, ellissocytosis, pyruvate kinase deficit, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficit, iron deficiency and iron overload disorders including hemochromatosis.
For each disease the student will focus on the patient follow up with a evidence based multidisciplinary approach, including also the transition from pediatric to adult age. The clinical diagnosis, assistance and care of rare disease are intimately linked to clinical research projects: the MD student will participate in some clinical trials of hemoglobin production inducers and iron chelators, will be trained on the entire path of a scientific work, from the challenge of the study hypothesis to a full authorship in the scientific publication. He will be formed in the design, management and data analyses of prospective and retrospective observational studies aimed to improve the clinical knowledges of rare diseases.
Moreover, the student will observe the program of prevention and prenatal diagnosis for rare hematological diseases, for which the Centre is providing genetic counseling.
The course will include a few theorical activities (10-20%) and most of the time will be dedicated to practical activities (clinical advice, research projects), clinical case presentations and journal club.
