Introduction:

Medical physiology is the science deal with normal functions of the body systems and mechanism of action. It is the science of What, How, When and Where. 

Rational:

Medical Physiology is one of the major basic sciences required by the undergraduate medical students during their first, second and third academic years. The Physiology course involves the study of overall functions of different body organs and systems, and their main control mechanisms. The study of human Physiology includes introduction, metabolism, nerve, blood, autonomic, musculoskeletal, respiration, cardiovascular, endocrine, reproduction, kidney, gastrointestinal tract, special senses and central nervous system. Methods of teaching include interactive lectures, small group discussions, tutorial and practical sessions using the most up to date BioPak apparatus by which a lot of experiments can be done, in addition to online and self-directed learning.

Not only that, but also a recent skill lab provides the students with a overwhelming tools for studying blood pressure, respiratory and heart sounds.

 Overall Aim of studying physiology:

• Provide the basic knowledge about different body systems and organs.

• To integrate physiological data & mechanisms with the ongoing basic sciences and clinical applications.

• Enable medical students to understand and to acquire an appropriate functional background of cells, tissues & systems.

• To follow the rapidly changing and inflating details about molecular biology 

• Use computers effectively in reaching biomedical information to remain updated with advances in knowledge and practice. 

• Training to Present information clearly in written, electronic, and verbal forms 

• Describe some biophysical laws and their relation to human physiology.

Pathology is the science that studies diseases from the definition, through its causes and mechanism of occurrence to the gross, microscopic and molecular changes that accompany the disease. It also studies the complications and fate for each disease.

Pathology is a basic medical science with clinical implications. It links other basic medical sciences that study the normal human body with the clinical sciences that study applied diseases. So, it can be considered a foundation for clinical years.

Learning is interactive and case-based, with the objective of developing students` skills through continuous training that is relevant to real practice.

Our students will be able to understand and explain diseases. They will also be able to use their higher cognitive functions to analyze, reason, and diagnose pathological conditions and correlate the pathological findings obtained from gross specimens and microscopic slides with the clinical manifestations which prepare competent students that are well founded for clinical years, hence for practice after graduation.

Prof. Dr. / Hala Fathallah Kheidr

Medical microbiology and immunology are the branch of medicine concerned with the prevention, diagnosis, and guidance in the treatment of human infections and communicable diseases and of diseases in which the immune system is involved in either pathogenesis or treatment or both. The medical microbiologist might specialize in one or more subspecialty within the discipline: Bacteriologists, Virologists, Mycologists, Immunologists, Microbial epidemiologists, Infection prevention and control practitioners

Medical Microbiology

The discipline concerned with the prevention, diagnosis, and guidance in the treatment of human infections and communicable diseases and consists primarily of four major scopes of activity: 

1. Provision of clinical consultations on the investigation, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of infectious diseases. 

2. Scientific development, administrative and medical direction of a clinical microbiology laboratory.

3. Establishment and direction of infection prevention and control programs across the continuum of care.

4. Communicable disease prevention and epidemiology and related public health issues.

Medical Immunology

A combined clinical and laboratory discipline dealing with the diagnosis and management of diseases in which the immune system is involved in either pathogenesis or treatment or both. The discipline provides an explanation of syndromes that accompany infectious diseases and offers nonconventional methods of therapy.

Infection Prevention and Control

Infection prevention and control (IPC) is a discipline that aims to prevent or control the spread of infections in healthcare facilities and the community. IPC is a universal discipline with relevance to all aspects of healthcare and represents a cornerstone of Healthcare Total Quality Management.

Staff Members of the Department:

• Professor and Head of the Department

Definition of science:

Histology is the branch of science that provides the candidate to identify the microscopic structure of the biological cells and tissues of the human body and relate structure to function in a clinical relevant context.

Histology is also concerned with advanced histological and cytological techniques to analyze and identify the tissues and structures present in addition to the study of cell biology and reparative tissue regeneration, experimental modeling of various pathological conditions with the use of laboratory animals and the demonstration of the cell-based therapies to treat different diseases by using stem cells.

Vision 

The Histology department aspires to contribute to the core value of the MTI becoming the best at teaching the microscopic structure of cells, tissues, organs and systems in a clinically relevant context. The department hence aimed to correlates between the molecular structure of each cell and its function, and how any defective structure can define many diseases. We aim at raising the repute of the department by achieving excellence in education and researches directed towards stem cells and tissue regeneration.

Mission

Histology and cell biology department is dedicated to improve the medical education and research within the field. So, we will strive for excellence in histology education by:

1. Presenting the highest-quality education centred on laboratory experiences to our students.

1. Identifying the component, function and maintenance of a light microscope.
2. Identifying tissue specimens both by light, scanning and transmission electron microscope. Describe the difference between three- dimensional scanning micrograph and a two- dimensional image seen by light microscope.  
3. Distinguishing specific cells and tissues, as well as recognize selected common special histological stains
4. Describing the physical and chemical basis for staining histological specimens
5. 6Applying integrated, interdisciplinary teaching and research projects in basic and applied histology to students.

Applications

The histology course is delivered to the first, second- and third-year medical students in five successive semesters.

The study of histology is delivered in an integrated way, not only with other basic sciences, but other clinical sciences as well, helping to generate more interest in the minds of students. Furthermore, the interest of applying newer advances to teach histology that included incorporation of game -based learning, teaching microscopes, transmission ultra-photomicrographs and three-dimensional scanning ultra-photomicrographs.

Responsibilities

The Department is responsible for teaching many courses in the integrated 5+2 curriculum in the bachelor of medicine and surgery program.

Our staff honestly aims to

1. Assist MTI with their histological teaching and research need.

Medical Biochemistry

- Biochemistry attempts to explain the activity of living systems at the molecular level as a basis for understanding not only metabolism and its disturbances but also other medically related fields, such as immunology, pharmacology, etc. 

- Biochemistry has to provide a background for understanding disease processes and the way in which they are modified by treatment and also contributes to an understanding of chemical diagnostic methods. 

- Biochemistry has to train tomorrow's doctors so that today's students will be capable later on of coping independently with future biochemical contributions to medical progress.

Molecular Biology

- Molecular medicine is a broad field, where physical, chemical, biological, bioinformatics and medical techniques are used to describe molecular structures and mechanisms, identify fundamental molecular and genetic errors of disease, and to develop molecular interventions to correct them. 

Physicians will be able rapidly diagnose existing genetic diseases, predetermine genetic risk for developing a disease and prescribe medical intervention based on person’s genetic information.

• “Medical parasitology” is a science that deals with the study of parasites which infect and produce diseases in human beings. This study prepares medical students to build their own network of differential diagnosis for relevant clinical practices. Also, it provides a basic understanding of methods of current diagnosis in relation to pathogenesis and clinical features of parasitosis.

• Medical students will be able to identify different diagnostic stages through practical sessions using microscopy and illustrated photos in Parasitology laboratories.

• They will also be able to apply their theoretical studies through problem-solving case scenario.

• Our objective is to train tomorrow’s doctors to be minded with parasitic infections in the differential diagnosis of clinical diseases and how to diagnose them.
