About General Pathology and Oral Pathology Laboratory:
A specialized laboratory dedicated to introducing students to various types of pathological specimens (blood, tissues, secretions) and their laboratory analysis methods, bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and the practical applications required in their future careers. The laboratory also features a specimen preparation room that supports scientific research for developing new therapeutic materials and methods by enabling sample preparation for microscopic examination.
Regarding Oral Pathology:
This specialized unit focuses on diagnosing diseases affecting the oral, facial, and maxillary regions. The laboratory analyzes tissue samples (biopsies) and fluids taken from oral lesions to accurately determine their nature.
Capacity: 40-50 Students
Available Equipment: • Light Microscope
Key Objectives:
1. Application of Theoretical Knowledge: Converting scientific concepts in biochemistry, microbiology, hematology, and histology into practical laboratory procedures.
2. Procedural Skills Training: Equipping students with the ability to handle specimens, operate analytical equipment, and execute basic and specialized laboratory techniques accurately.
3. Personnel Qualification: Preparing specialized technical cadres capable of working in health and research institutions.
4. Correlating Results with Clinical Cases: Teaching students how to interpret laboratory results and link them to clinical signs to reach a final diagnosis.
Oral Pathology Objectives:
1. Diagnosis of Oral Lesions: Analyzing biopsies from the jaw, tongue, gums, or salivary glands to diagnose conditions such as oral ulcers, cysts, and benign or malignant tumors.
2. Correlating Clinical and Histological Appearances: Training students to compare clinical observations in the patient's mouth with microscopic changes in the tissues.
3. Early Detection of Tumors: Focusing on the early diagnosis of oral cancers and distinguishing between precancerous and malignant lesions.
4. Study of Immunological Oral Diseases: Diagnosing autoimmune diseases manifested in the oral cavity, such as Pemphigus and Lupus Erythematosus.
5. Determining the Nature of Bone Lesions: Analyzing diseases of the jaw bones, including bone cysts, tumors, and osteitis.
About the Pharmacology Laboratory:
The Pharmacology Laboratory is a fundamental scientific unit concerned with studying the properties of drugs and their biological and chemical effects on the human body. It aims to enhance the scientific understanding of drug mechanisms and their safe, effective usage. The laboratory provides an advanced educational and training environment, enabling students to gain practical skills in identifying pharmacological and toxicological effects.
