EDUCATIONAL
WORK
The
course of propaedeutics of internal medicine is taught to students of the 3rd
year of the I and II medical faculties, the 3rd year of the IV
medical faculty (Russian-speaking and English-speaking students of the
medical faculty for working with foreign students) (5-6 semester), the 2nd
year of the dental faculty. In addition, 2nd year students of all
medical faculties in the 4th semester are taught the course
"Nursing", and 3rd year students of medical faculties - the course
"Nursing".
The
Department conducts two elective courses "Fundamentals of the theory of
knowledge and problems of medical diagnostics" and "Deontology in
medicine", which are given special importance in ensuring the University
level of education.
Students
of all courses of medical faculties study according to the credit-modular
system in accordance with the requirements of the Bologna Declaration with
obtaining assessments of the level of knowledge on the ECTS scale.
The
staff of the Department has drawn up methodological developments in
Ukrainian, Russian and English for students and teachers, as well as -
independent work of students, tests of control of initial and final knowledge
for each lesson. Also, test batteries, situational tasks and a list of
practical skills have been developed for the final modular control of
knowledge, which occurs at the end of the courses "Nursing" (4
semester), "Propedeutics of Internal Medicine" (6 semester),
"Nursing" (6 semester).
In
accordance with the requirements of the Bologna Declaration, in parallel with
the courses "Nursing" and "Nursing", students undergo
relevant practical training.
Students
of the Faculty of Dentistry study the propaedeutics of internal medicine for
5 semesters according to the traditional system and the scale of knowledge
assessment, with a credit at the end of the course.
Under
the conditions of a credit-modular system, the staff of the Department
preserves and develops the best traditions of teaching propaedeutics: the
study of diagnostics as a process of cognizing the patient and the disease.
Under the guidance of experienced teachers, professors and candidates of
medical sciences, students master classical research methods (questioning,
examination, percussion, palpation, auscultation), get acquainted with the
diagnostic capabilities of modern medicine.
Future
doctors must learn to identify the symptoms of diseases of internal organs,
understand their pathogenesis, combine symptoms into syndromes, and
substantiate the diagnosis.
The
lecture course is full of patient demonstrations, multimedia presentations,
original educational videos created at the department, imitators of breathing
sounds, heart melody, cardiogram, slides. Such demonstrativeness allows
revealing the entire complexity of the diagnostic process in the harsh
conditions of the credit-modular system.
Practical
trainings are traditionally held at the patient's bedside, in the classroom a
problematic approach to solving diagnostic problems is used, educational and
research independent work of students is used in the framework of individual
work.
The
system of demonstrative, open, comprehensive practical classes and lectures,
which are conducted by experienced and young teachers, with subsequent
discussion at the methodological meetings of the department, contributes to
the constant improvement of the level of teaching.
The
student scientific club works fruitfully, interestingly and diversely at the Department:
students take part in scientific research, plenary sessions, evening rounds
of patients.
Annually
clinical and anatomical conferences are held together with the club members
of the Department of Pathological Anatomy.
The
clinical base of the Department is the Regional Clinical Hospital, its Pulmonological,
Allergological And Rehabilitation Departments.

DIRECTIONS
OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH
The
main direction of the Department's scientific activity is the study of
predictors of progression and secondary prevention of chronic kidney disease,
the role of cytokines, disorders of calcium and lipid metabolism,
homocysteinuria, arterial hypertension, proteinuria, tubular dysfunctions,
endothelium factors. Methods for correcting disorders of homeostasis were
processed. The role of the kidneys in violations of the acid-base balance in
bronchial asthma and COPD, as well as methods of their correction, are being
studied. Recently, the problems of diagnosis and treatment of secondary
nephropathies, in particular diabetic, have been studied. Screening studies
are being conducted on the prevalence of secondary kidney damage in diseases
of internal organs (cardiovascular diseases, gastric ulcer and duodenal
ulcer, endocrine diseases, etc.).
The
Department is intensively training scientific and pedagogical personnel:
while scientific research is carried out by 1 postgraduate student, 1
doctoral student and a doctor-resident.
CLINICAL
CARE
In
the allergy unit, modern medical technologies are being introduced into the
diagnostic and treatment process. Peak flowmetry and computer spirography are
used to monitor the course of bronchial asthma, allergological tests with
food, dusty, pollen, household allergens, skin biopsy in patients with
vasculitis. In the treatment, modern stepwise approaches are used according
to the recommendations of international consensus, topical corticosteroids
are used - inhalation, intranasal, ophthalmic, skin; highly selective partial
β2-agonists, antihistamines of II-III generations, prolonged calcium
antagonists of the III generation, MRI, plasmapheresis, hyposensitization.
Started screening studies of bronchial asthma in the regions of the Kharkiv
region. It is planned to participate in an international project on the
studied concentration of plant dust in the atmosphere of the Kharkiv region.
It
is planned to participate in an international project on the studied
concentration of plant dust in the atmosphere of the Kharkov region.
An
office for the prevention and diagnosis of bronchial asthma was opened in the
clinic of the OKB. The Pulmonology Department of the OKB has modern
diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities for providing medical care to
patients with various pathologies of the respiratory system. The clinic has a
sufficient amount of diagnostic capabilities to verify the diagnosis:
bronchoscopic methods, computed tomography, bacteriological, immunological
and cytological methods. The department carries out differential diagnostics
for disseminated processes in the lungs, fever of unknown origin, fungal and
secondary lung lesions with various pathologies of internal organs. In the
last decade, special attention has been paid to the problems of pneumonia,
its etiology, clinic, features and problems of treatment. Together with
modern pharmacotherapy, methods such as therapeutic bronchoscopy,
intratracheal administration of drugs, as well as all types of physiotherapy,
including massage, acupuncture, etc., are used, phytotherapy, oxygen therapy
using the 7F-5 oxygen concentrator are used.
EDUCATIONAL
WORK
The
staff of the Department attaches great importance to the humanitarian
component of the education of students. The best opera singers, Kharkiv poets
and writers have repeatedly come to students and teachers. We believe that
only an extraordinary informal approach to education can make the spiritual
world of youth better.
The
Department has scientific and propaganda information on teaching and educational
work. The achievements of the Department in scientific, methodological,
medical and scientific work are presented in the form of photographs that
illuminate the daily routine of the university and all divisions of the Department's
work: the Department staff, rounds, work of students with patients, joint
work of teachers and students using medical equipment in the lecture hall of
