The speaker will discuss selected topics in classic, mammalian, organ systems physiology (e.g. cardiovascular, respiratory, renal). One objective is to refresh the attendee's knowledge of the application of classic physiology to the practice of medicine.
Another objective is to expose learners to new data and information gleaned from experimental physiology in the presenter's laboratories.
The desired outcome of these lectures is improved attendee knowledge and patient care through research-based education. For example, those attending will learn about nonanalgesic properties of acetaminophen.
How safe and efficacious this historically-important drug is will be emphasized. The hepatotoxicity (suicidal use) of the drug will be de-emphasized.
This should increase the physician's confidence in recommending its use.
Topics:
Cardiac Conduction System
Clarification of cellular/tissue
Cardiac Output
Teaching the physiology of cardiac output beyond simply defining it
Ischemia/Reperfusion vs Hypoxia/Reoxygenation
Learning the similarities and differences in the two topics
Cardio- and Cerebroprotection by Acetaminophen
To teach new research data about the protective effects of acetaminophen in heart, brain and elsewhere
Respiratory function: gas exchange and transport
Define differences between gas exchange and transport
Renal function: Osmotic forces and formation of dilute vs concentrated urine
Learn and understand the importance of concentrated/dilute urine vs body water and circulatory homeostasis
The physiology/medicine of diet and exercise
Learn the importance of sorting out fact and fiction
