AbstractTranslational science is a cross disciplinary scientific research that is motivated by the need for practical applications that help people. The course should help to clarify basics of translational science, illustrate successful applications and should enable students to integrate key features into their future projects.
ObjectiveAfter completing this course, students will be able to understand:
Principles of translational science (including project planning, ethics application, basics of resource management and interdisciplinary communication)
ContentWhat is translational science and what is it not?
How to identify need?
- Disease concepts and consequences for research
- Basics about incidence, prevalence etc., and orphan indications
How to choose the appropriate research type and methodology
- Ethical considerations including ethics application
- Pros and cons of different types of research
- Coordination of complex approaches incl. timing and resources
How to measure success?
- Outcome variables
- Improving the translational process
Challenges of communication?
How independent is translational science?
- Academic boundary conditions vs. industrial influences
Positive and negative examples will be illustrated by distinguished guest speakers.

AbstractFundamental principles of human medicine, Basic Life Support (BLS) and introduction to histology and microscopy.
ObjectiveNach Beendigung der Lehrveranstaltung
- Haben die Studierenden ein Grundverständnis elementarer Bausteine und Prozesse als Basis für die Humanmedizin, z.B. Zellaufbau und -zyklus.
- Kennen die Studierenden grundlegende Terminologie der Anatomie.
- Verstehen die Studierenden den Ablauf medizinischer Versorgung von Erstversorgung bis zur Rehabilitation.
- Verstehen die Studierenden die Vor- und Nachteile von Diagnostik bei Notfällen, insbesondere Ultraschall.
- Kennen die Studierenden die Grundlagen von Mikroskopie und Histologie.
- Haben die Studierenden die Grundlagen von Basic Life Support erlernt:
- Sie erkennen die Symptome eines Herz-Kreislaufstillstandes.
- Sie alarmieren situationsgerecht.
- Sofern vorhanden, organisieren sie einen AED und setzen diesen schnellst möglich und korrekt ein.
- Sie führen am Phantom suffiziente Thoraxkompressionen aus.
- Sie führen am Phantom eine effektive Beatmung unter Mithilfe einer Taschenmaske aus.
- Sie benennen mögliche Komplikationen der Beatmung. Unter gegebenen Umständen verzichten sie auf weitere Beatmungsversuche.
- Sie benennen Grenzen der Herz-Lungen-Wiederbelebung.
- Sie riskieren auch unter Stress, keinesfalls ihr eigenes oder das Leben anderer "Helfer".
ContentAn Hand eines komplexen klinischen Falls werden die Studierenden mit dem Ablauf medizinischer Versorgung von der Erstversorgung bis zur Rehabilitation vertraut gemacht. Dabei werden grundlegende Begriffe, Bausteine und Prozesse eingeführt. Ausserdem erleben die Studierenden die Grundlagen bildgebender Verfahren, insbesondere Ultraschall.
Die Studierenden absolvieren den Kurs Basic Life Support. Alle Teilnehmenden sollen nach dieser Ausbildungssequenz Wiederbelebungsmassnahmen im privaten wie auch im innerklinischen Bereich einleiten können.
Die Studierenden erfahren das Lernen, Lehren und Arbeiten im Spitalbereich als sozialen Prozess und Teamwork, bei dem alle Sinne und unterschiedlichste Kompetenzen zum Tragen kommen.
Zusätzlich erfahren die Studierenden in drei Workshops den grundlegenden Prozess einer physiotherapeutischen Intervention mit den Begriffen des Clinicial Reasoning, therapeutische Aspekte und Therapieprogression.
Ein Intensivkurs Mikroskopie/Histologie befähigt die Studierenden zum selbständigen Mikroskopieren und zum Verständnis histologischer Schnitte am Präparat aber auch online.

AbstractThis course introduces basic concepts of micro- and macronutrient nutrition. Micronutrients studied include fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins, minerals and trace elements. Macronutrients include proteins, fat and carbohydrates. Special attention is given to nutrient digestion, bioavailability, metabolism and excretion with some focus on energy metabolism.
ObjectiveTo introduce the students to the both macro- and micronutrients in relation to food and metabolism.
ContentThis is a self-study course.
The course is devided into two parts: micronutrients are given by and macronutrients a. The micronutrients include fat-soluble vitamins, water-soluble vitamins, minerals and trace elements. The part on macronutrients introduces basic nutritional aspects of proteins, fats, carbohydrates and energy metabolism.
Lecture notesA reading list will be provided to the students detailing chapters and lecture slides to be studied

ObjectiveTo introduce the students to the both macro- and micronutrients in relation to food and metabolism.
ContentThe course is devided into two parts. The lectutres on micronutrients are given by Prof. Zimmermann and the lectures on macronutrients are given by Prof. Wolfrum. Prof. Zimmermann discusses the micronutrients, including fat-soluble vitamins, water-soluble vitamins, minerals and trace elements. Prof. Wolfrum introduces basic nutritional aspects of proteins, fats, carbohydrates and energy metabolism. The nutrients are described in relation to digestion, absorption and metabolism. Special aspects of homeostasis and homeorhesis are emphasized.
