Objectives: After participating successfully in this session and related activities, you should be able to: demonstrate the steps necessary to prepare for a medical interview introduce yourself to a patient obtain consent from a patient to perform a medical interview establish a private and confidential environment in which to conduct your medical interview begin to establish rapport with a patient negotiate the multiple agenda in a medical interview demonstrate an ability to gather patient information in an accurate and empathetic manner begin to take a medical a history, in a role play with peers, of the patient presenting a complaint demonstrate an ability to reflect on your role play and give effective peer feedback Content synopsis: The steps required for the medical interview are outlined in the pre-reading material. These skills will be developed using role plays, personal and group reflection on various stages of the interview process. This tutorial will focus on the developing the skills of empathy and accuracy required when taking a patients information about their presenting illness. The medical interview is s crucial part of making an accurate diagnosis. A number of studies have shown that 60-80% of the diagnosis can be made on history alone. How you elicit the information is an important process, as additional and relevant information is obtained when patients can express all their concerns. Another key facet of this information gathering phase is to understand the patients view of the illness experience. It is important to remember the distinction developed by Kleinman et al (1978) between disease and illness. Disease refers to a physiological, biological disorder, while illness refers to a pattern of symptoms in an individual. Role plays used in this tutorial give you an opportunity to reflect on your own history taking and provide feedback for your peers.

Theme: I Discipline: Ethics Sub Discipline: MUSC Lecturer / Tutor
CMS Lecturer / Tutor Ms Dilinie Herbert Department of Medicine Alfred Hospital Faculty of Medicine, Nursing & Health Sciences Email: Dilinie.Herbert@monash.edu Objectives: At the end of this tutorial you should:
have a deeper understanding of the nature of ethics, its role in medicine and what influences decision making in clinical practice have a deeper understanding of the clinical relationship understand what is meant by consent and some of the difficulties associated with it Content synopsis: Ethics is the body of thought that seeks to answer the question What should I do? In medicine, people sometimes think of ethics as something added on to the hard, scientific part, which arises only in relation to the most extreme and controversial circumstances. In fact, ethics is at the centre of everything you will ever do in medicine. It is the part of medicine within which we decide what we should do and why, what is important and valuable and what is not, and how to balance the interests of our patients, the community and others. It is the domain within which we develop our techniques of interaction and communication with our patients.

The key to identifying the genetic risk is good family information. Genetic tests help in diagnosis and carrier testing, provide emerging understanding of genetic/environmental interactions and disease susceptibility which will inform prevention and patient care. The interpretation of genetic variants is a current challenge. Testing an individuals genetic profile will inform health prevention and make it possible to develop targeted therapies by pharmacogenetics. Gene therapy and therapeutic cloning will become further choices of treatment for individuals affected by genetic disorders and degenerative illnesses. Translational research and good health policy development will be essential for harnessing these developments and integrate them into clinical practice. It is critical to gain a thorough understanding of the cell cycle and how abnormalities arise as a result of gene mutation and chromosome abnormalities. This is the foundation for understanding genetic disorders and understanding the basis of genetic tests.

Cell division is a requirement for growth, replacement, and reproduction. Three processes are required for cell division. These are duplication of the chromosomes, movement of the duplicated chromosomes to different parts of the cell and division of the cytoplasm to create two daughter cells. This is the process of mitosis in which chromosomes are duplicated. Phases of the cell cycle are typically described as G1, S, G2 and M. DNA synthesis occurs in the S phase and mitosis in the M phase. Stages of mitosis are recognizable under the light microscope and include prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Cells may die in one of two ways. Necrosis occurs when cells are damaged. Apoptosis is genetically programmed cell death.

Objectives: After participating in this session and related activities, you should be able to: describe the process of meiosis and how it generates haploid cells. appreciate the importance of independent assortment and recombination in the generation of genetic diversity. discuss the different requirements of ova and sperm and the development of the gametes. Content synopsis: Meiosis: how diploid cells produce haploid gametes. Spermatogenesis and oogenesis in humans. Oocyte development/arrest/resumption of maturation. Union of gametes at fertilisation. In sexual reproduction two haploid gametes are produced as a result of a specialized form of cell division called meiosis in which a diploid cell undergoes two divisions to give rise to four haploid gametes. In humans this process is called spermatogenesis in males and oogenesis in females and ultimately leads to the production of mature sperm and ova. During meiosis DNA may be exchanged between homologous chromosomes. At fertilization the male and female gametes join to form the zygote.

Lecture03/01-P31 - Chromosome disorders
CMS Lecturer / Tutor Dr Melanie Pritchard Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Faculty of Medicine, Nursing & Health Sciences Email: melanie.pritchard@monash.edu
Objectives: After participating successfully in this session and related activities, you should be able to: know the nomenclature used for chromosome analysis of individuals understand the different classes of chromosomal abnormality: numerical and structural appreciate how the different abnormalities are generated and understand the impact they have on human health Content synopsis: Karyotyping cells and chromosomal nomenclature. Chromosomal abnormalities: numerical (Down syndrome, Patau syndrome, Edward syndrome). Numerical abnormalities of sex chromosomes (Klinefelter, Turner). Chromosomal abnormalities: structural. Increase in chromosomal abnormalities with increasing maternal age. The human karyotype consists of 46 chromosomes, which are present in 22 homologous pairs in addition to two sex chromosomes, an X and a Y in a male and two X chromosomes in a female. Chromosomes are defined on the basis of size, morphology and banding pattern revealed by staining treated metaphase cells and are numbered 1-22 from largest to smallest in addition to the sex chromosomes. Chromosome morphology is further defined by the position of the centromere, which divides the chromosome into a short arm, p and a longer arm, q. The bands in each arm are numbered from the centromere. Chromosomal abnormalities may be numerical or structural and are important causes of congenital malformation. They also account for at least half of all spontaneous abortions. Some well-known conditions resulting from abnormality in chromosome number include Down syndrome, Turner syndrome and Klinefelter syndrome. Structural abnormality of chromosomes may result for example from deletion or duplication of part of a chromosome, transfer of material from one chromosome to another, or exchange of chromosome material between two or more chromosomes.

Lecture03/01-P32 - Patterns of inheritance: Mendels law
Objectives: After participating successfully in this session and related activities, you should be able to: understand the difference between dominant and recessive traits know the inheritance patterns of autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive and X-linked traits and disorders appreciate the factors that may affect inheritance patterns Content synopsis: Three main modes of inheritance: autosomal dominant; autosomal recessive; and X-linked. Clinically relevant examples of each will be used for illustration. The concepts of penetrance and variable expression. Mendels unit of inheritance is called a gene. Alleles are different forms of a gene. Mendelian disorders are those that occur as a result of the inheritance of a single mutant gene which has an effect on the phenotype and which is inherited according to the principles described by Mendel. These disorders are autosomal if they are determined by genes on any of chromosomes 1-22 (non sex chromosomes), and sex linked if they are determined by genes on the sex chromosomes. A condition is said to dominant if it is expressed in heterozygotes and recessive if it is expressed only in individuals who are homozygous for the mutant allele. The term penetrance refers to the proportion of individuals in a given population with a particular genotype who show the phenotype. The term expressivity refers to the degree to which the characteristic is expressed in any affected individual. Keywords: genotype, phenotype, allele, dominant, recessive, penetrance, expressivity, anticipation Readings: Prescribed th Sadava D, Hillis DM, Heller HC, & Berenbaum,MR, 2011, Life - The Science of Biology, 9 ed.

Objectives: After participating successfully in this session and related activities, you should be able to: identify the different causes of mutations recognise the different types of mutations found in genes understand how different types of mutations can cause different structural and functional effects understand the effect of different mutations resulting in haemoglobinopathies Content synopsis: Definition of an allele and a mutation. Concept of polymorphism. Types of mutations: substitution, deletion, insertion. Structural effects of mutations: silent, missense, nonsense, frame shift. Effects of mutations in non-coding regions. Gain-of-function mutations, loss-of-function mutations, dominant-negative mutations and haploinsufficiency. Specific known mutagens and spontaneous mutations. The term mutation refers to a change in the nucleotide sequence of a chromosome. Mutations may have no observable effect on a person or may lead to a change in the phenotype of the individual. Mutations within somatic cells are passed on to their daughter cells within the body. Mutations in cells that give rise to gametes may therefore be inherited and passed on to succeeding generations. Mutations may result for example from point mutations, deletions, insertions, or inversions of sequences of DNA. Mutations may be spontaneous or induced by mutagens such as ionizing radiation, ultraviolet light or chemicals.

Lecture02/01-P4 - The individual, society and health
Objectives: After participating successfully in this session and related activities, you should be able to: understand the structure versus agency debate, ie. individual responsibility for health (agency) versus social inequality resulting in higher rates of poor health for certain social groups (social structure) understand the concepts of health behaviour and illness behaviour as they pertain to the individual understand Talcott Parsons concept of the sick role appreciate David Mechanics descriptions of the determinants of illness behaviour understand the importance of adherence/compliance and factors that affect the patients adherence/compliance understand the concepts of social stratification and the social gradient of health appreciate the strong influence of social class/socio-economic status (SES) on health appreciate the influence of employment (hazardous jobs) and unemployment on the health of individuals and social groups Content synopsis: In this lecture, we begin with exploration of the structure versus agency debate. That is, how much blame for bad health should be attributed to the behaviour of the individual (eg. substance abuse such as smoking, food consumption patterns resulting in obesity) versus negative impact of the surrounding society (eg. advertising campaigns of tobacco companies aimed at teenagers and marketing campaigns of unhealthy foods by fast food companies). We will discuss the concepts of health behaviour and illness behaviour on the part of the individual; Talcott Parsons concept of the sick role and David Mechanics determinants of illness behaviour. The effectiveness of medical intervention in the treatment and management of disease (especially for a chronic disease such as diabetes mellitus) is affected by adherence/compliance on the part of the patient. We will discuss factors that can reduce rates of adherence/compliance. The concepts of social stratification and the social gradient of health (ie. the strong link between low social position and poor health) will be examined. Various theories that attempt to account for the social gradient of health will be discussed. Finally, we will examine relationships between employment, unemployment and health in the case of individuals Keywords: Structure versus agency debate, health behaviour, illness behaviour, sick role, adherence/ compliance, social stratification, social gradient, social class, socio-economic status (SES), hazardous jobs and health, unemployment and health

Continuous multifactorial traits, eg. height, intelligence. Discontinuous multifactorial traits, e.g., neural tube defects. Use of twin and family studies to characterise multifactorial traits. Polygenic inherited characteristics or disorders are controlled by multiple genes. Each of the genes makes a small contribution to the observed phenotype. Multifactorial characteristics or disorders result from the interplay of multiple genes with multiple environmental factors. Identical twins develop from the same fertilised egg so any differences between them can be attributed to environmental influences. The term epistasis refers to the modification of the phenotype of one gene by another gene.

Theme: I Discipline: Ethics Sub Discipline: MUSC Lecturer / Tutor
CMS Lecturer / Tutor Ms Dilinie Herbert Department of Medicine Alfred Hospital Faculty of Medicine, Nursing & Health Sciences Email: Dilinie.Herbert@monash.edu Objectives: At the end of this tutorial you will be expected to:
have an understanding of the nature of confidentiality in clinical medicine, its complexities and its limits understand the concept of dualities and conflicts of interest and how to analyse and respond to them Content synopsis: Confidentiality is a fundamental but difficult issue that arises often in clinical practice. Practising physicians have always vigorously sought to protect the confidences entrusted in them by their patients. The reason for this is not difficult to see. The basis of clinical medicine is the relationship between doctor and patient. For this relationship to operate effectively it must be possible for the two parties to assume mutual openness and honesty. In coming to a doctor an individual carries out an act of trust concerning matters of considerable personal importance. The doctor, in turn, gives an implicit pledge to act exclusively in the interests of the patient. Within this framework the doctor is granted access to the private and intimate regions of the patient's body and experiences. In the privacy of the clinical relationship information is obtained, diagnoses are formulated and a therapeutic process is initiated and pursued.

Lecture03/01-P35 - Genetics counselling
CMS Lecturer / Tutor Professor Agnes Bankier Clinical Genetic Services, Austin Health Email: agnes.bankier@austin.org.au
Objectives: After participating successfully in this session and related activities, you should be able to understand: why people go for genetic counselling principles of genetic counselling importance of family history how to draw and interpret a pedigree ethical considerations regarding genetic health information Content synopsis: Genetic counselling aims to provide information and opportunity for discussion so people can address their concerns and make informed decisions about their health care. People may seek genetic counselling because of concerns regarding themselves or a condition in their family which include, cancers, neurological conditions, birth defects. Genetic services provide family-centred consultation, so the needs of all members are considered. Information is provided about the condition its management, cause and prevention and the individual is supported in helping communicate genetic information to family members. An accurate diagnosis is the key and family history information is important. The available gene tests enable not only people who have disorders to have confirmatory tests but healthy people who want to find out what the future holds for their health and the health of their children may choose to have predictive testing, carrier testing and prenatal screening or testing.

Lecture03/01-P33 - Population genetics
Objectives: After participating successfully in this session and related activities, you should be able to: be aware of the Hardy-Weinberg law and use it to determine allele and carrier frequencies understand the principles of positive and negative selection Content synopsis: Hardy-Weinberg law and formula. Factors affecting Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium: non-random mating, founder effects, new mutations. Natural selection and effect of environment. Examples of positive and negative selection. The study of the distribution of genes in populations and how these gene frequencies are maintained or altered has important applications in clinical medicine. Population genetics can provide an insight into and an understanding of human evolution, the frequency and selection pressures for recessive genes. A population that is not changing genetically from generation to generation is said to be at HardyWeinberg equilibrium. Allele and genotype frequencies in populations remain constant from generation to generation unless they are modified by factors such as selection, and migration.

Objectives: After participating successfully in this session and related activities, you should be able to: understand the difference between availability versus accessibility as they pertain to health and social care services know about the ongoing debate between proponents of access to health and social care services as a right (of citizenship, for example) versus proponents of access based on the ability to pay (the market approach) appreciate the different barriers that affect reasonable access to health and social care services, ie geographical, financial, cultural, discriminatory treatment (including the behaviour of individual health and social care providers) appreciate the importance of innovative approaches that can impact access, eg. technological (teleconsultation and remote surgery in rich countries); the flying doctor service of outback Australia and East Malaysia; pre-paid health insurance schemes; community-based health workers; etc understand that current trends such as privatization and the growth of medical tourism may have a significant negative impact on access for local people Content synopsis: In this lecture, we begin with exploration of the concepts of availability versus accessibility as they pertain to health and social care services. We note that availability refers to whether services are physically at hand while accessibility refers to whether the care-seeker is able to make use of particular services in the face of various barriers. We note the philosophical and ideological debate between proponents of access to health and social care services as a right (of citizenship, for example) versus proponents of access based on the ability to pay (the market approach). We also note that resources are not infinite and that the debate extends beyond the public provision of a basic package of services to what the limits to access are based on the rights approach.

Objectives: After participating successfully in this session and related activities, you should be able to understand: that cells have a difference in electrical charge across their membrane how a semi-permeable membrane can create a difference in electrical charge across the membrane and how this can be applied to the nerve cell membrane have a general appreciation of the concept of equilibrium potentials and an idea of the value of + + equilibrium potentials for Na and K in cells, the nernst equation why the equilibrium potentials for Na and K do not adequately describe the nerve resting membrane potential, and what information on the nerve resting membrane potential is provided by the Goldman-Hodgkin-Katz equation for calculating resting membrane potentials
+ +
ion channels, their role in the semi-permeable membrane and how they contribute to determining the resting membrane potential the role of the Na /K pump in maintaining the ionic concentrations across the nerve cell membrane and therefore the nerve resting membrane potential
+ +
that changes in the resting membrane potential is critical to the functional response of nerves in response to stimulation Content synopsis: This second lecture in the series on nerves and their function, will study the electrical charge that exists across the plasma membrane of the nerve (this is called the membrane potential). Of critical importance will be the elements involved in producing this potential difference, and how it is maintained. This will involve consideration of the structure of the plasma membrane, and ion channels and pumps. We will discuss the consequences of changing the characteristics of ion channels and pumps on the resting membrane potential. Also of importance is consideration of the use of agents that influence ion channel and pump activity for therapeutic purposes. We will also explain how many toxins and poisons bring about sickness and death via actions on ion channels and pumps. Then the lecture will go on to discuss how this potential change signals that an event has occurred, in a characteristic pattern known as the action potential (AP). Neurons then transmit this AP along their length to transmit information along their length. The transmission of the AP will be discussed in the next lecture.

CMS Lecturer / Tutor Associate Professor Helena C. Parkington Department of Physiology Faculty of Medicine, Nursing & Health Sciences Email: Helena.Parkington@monash.edu
Objectives: After participating successfully in this session and related activities, you should understand: the conditions that produce the particular change in the resting membrane potential that is known as the action potential the AP the concept of threshold, and the properties of the ion channels involved the characteristics of the AP that determine its amplitude and duration the sodium AP, and its role in nerve function the calcium AP, and its role in nerve function the events that return the membrane potential to the resting level after the action potential that ion other than sodium/calcium can be involved in the process of returning the membrane potential of the nerve back to the resting level the concept of refractory periods, the two refractory periods that occur after an AP. Here we will also consider factors that limit the frequency of AP firing the role of ion pumps/transporters in recovery the differences between the sodium and calcium APs Content synopsis: The fact that neurons have a difference in charge between the inside and the outside is very useful. It means that when a neuron wants to signal that something has happened, it can do so by changing this difference in charge (potential difference) across the membrane. That is exactly what neurons do. Having produced a change in the resting membrane potential to signal an event has occurred at one point along the neuron, the neuron can then transmit this change in membrane potential along its length, thereby transmitting information about the event that caused the initial change in membrane potential. The rest of this lecture will therefore explain how the resting membrane potential can be produced across the membrane of a neuron (as in many other cells) and how it changes to signal that an event has occurred. We will also consider how this critical system can be targeted in disease and by toxins, and how drugs can act to ameliorate some disease states.

Lecture03/01-P60 - Propagating the action potential
Objectives: After participating successfully in this session and related activities, you should understand: that, from a site on the nerve cell membrane that is producing an AP, current can flow electrotonically to areas of the neuron that are still at rest that such electrotonic flow of current does not travel far down the neuron because the neuron is a leaky structure and so the current leaks out, and this means information about the event that elicited the AP may not travel far how this problem is overcome in neurons by using the electrotonic current flow to depolarise adjacent resting regions of the neuron to threshold to produce an AP at these regions, and that this refreshes the message through fresh current flow that the flow of current and the production of new APs is rapid so that the transmission of APs is like a wave of depolarisation spreading along the neuron from the initial site, and understand why this transmission of APs only goes in one direction under normal circumstances why such continual regeneration of APs is an event that slows down the flow of information down the neuron, learn the two mechanisms to speed up such transmission (ie., speed up the conduction velocity of information) and why each of these two mechanisms increases the conduction velocity that the two mechanisms for speeding up conduction velocity form the basis for one scheme for functional classification of neurons how dysfunctions of myelination can cause disruption of the transmission of information in normally-myelinated neurons what happens to the flow of information along a neuron when this flow reaches the neurons terminals (or an equivalent region for passing the information to the next cell in the chain) Content synopsis: This fourth lecture in the lecture series on nerves and their function, will discuss how an AP, produced at one point along the nerve membrane, is propagated (transmitted) further along the neuron. Neurons produce an AP, a characteristic series of changes in the resting membrane potential, when a stimulus that is of sufficient strength is applied to a point along the neuron. Having produced a change in the resting membrane potential to signal that an event has occurred at one point along the neuron, the neuron then has to transmit this change in membrane potential along its length, thereby transmitting information about the event that caused the initial change in membrane potential. Only in this way can the information be signalled to another cell, either to produce a response (eg. in a muscle cell) or for further transmission and/or analysis (eg. in another nerve cell). You will study the latter process, that of transmitting information to other cells, in the next lecture series in this Theme 3.

The microscopic anatomy of a synapse is described along with an explanation of the mechanism of the formation and release of small molecule and peptide neurotransmitter vesicles from the presynaptic terminal. Other aspects covered include slow and fast neurotransmission, the operations of ionotropic and metabotropic receptors, and the role of postsynaptic depolarising potentials. The mechanisms involved in inhibitory transmission will be examined. Here, location is very important, as is the concentration of ions within versus outside of the neuron.

CMS Lecturer / Tutor Associate Professor Helena C Parkington Department of Physiology Faculty of Medicine, Nursing & Health Sciences Email: Helena.Parkington@monash.edu
Objectives: After participating successfully in this session and related activities, you should you should understand: that signalling between neurons is complicated by the factors of convergence/divergence, excitation/ inhibition, fast/slow effects, and variations in the location of synapses the need for summation where APs are usually produced post-synaptically, why this site is favoured, and what this implies for the effectiveness of synapses on a neuron how the neuron can overcome, through the processes of spatial and temporal summation of EPSPs, the problem that a single EPSP rarely ever causes a post-synaptic AP the neuronal distribution of voltage-gated channels how IPSPS modulate the neurons ability to produce an AP in response to its excitatory inputs (producing EPSPs) and where an action potential is first generated in a neuron the role of inhibitory inputs in post-synaptic integration in cell signalling the role of pre-synaptic inhibition that a typical neuron receives thousands of synaptic inputs how peptide neurotransmitters affect neural excitability and the roles of slow neurotransmission Content synopsis: This session continues on from Synaptic Transmission where it is clear that activity at a single synapse is likely to have a relative small role in activity in the receiving cell. Here we discuss how activity by the one incoming neuron at multiple sites and/or activity coinciding with that from another incoming neuron interact to produce the activity characteristic of events that occur in a functioning brain. Synaptic transmission of information is a highly dynamic process that can be modulated by a number of factors, which can be generally classed as being (a) effects exercised at the pre-synaptic terminal (examples being pre-synaptic inhibition and facilitation), (b) the history (pattern) of previous levels of activity across the synapse, and (c) post-synaptic adaptation processes that allow a neuron to self-regulate its activity and responses to inputs. The distribution and effectiveness of synaptic inputs will be discussed, as well as how excitatory inputs interact to depolarise a neurone to threshold.

WEEK 8
Lecture02/01-P6 - Prevention
Objectives: At the completion of this week you should be able to: explain the Rose thesis of prevention explain the difference between a focus on individuals and a focus on populations in prevention understand the concepts of an intervention and upstream and downstream perspectives describe the breadth of public health prevention campaigns and interventions Content synopsis: These two approaches to aetiologythe individual and the population-basedhave their counterparts in prevention. In the first, preventive strategy seeks to identify high-risk susceptible individuals and to offer them some individual protection. In contrast, the 'population strategy' seeks to control the determinants of incidence in the population as a whole (Rose 1992). If our focus is only the treatment of individuals, it is assumed that if all the individuals at risk are treated then the populations health will improve. Yet population health studies have shown that this is not the case. We will explore the difference between a focus on individuals versus the focus on populations. You will be introduced to the work of Geoffrey Rose, one of the pioneers of public health thinking about populations and prevention. For example, in drink-driving and vaccination campaigns, individuals are targeted but the focus is on those most at risk as well as the whole population. Noncommunicable diseases of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and obesity are increasingly of interest globally, as efforts are focused on how to reduce the burden of disease associated with NCDs. We will use these two examples as case studies but also discuss what other interventions are effective in reducing morbidity and mortality rates for, and improving the health status of, whole populations.

Lecture01/01-P6 - Nutrition
Objectives: After participating in this session, it is expected that students will be able to: appreciate the important potential role of food as medicine understand the many psychological and social factors which impact upon eating patterns understand the potential risks of widely promoted dieting programs be aware of some of the simple behavioural and psychological strategies for improving eating patterns and maintaining a healthy weight Content synopsis: The food we eat provides the body with all the building blocks it requires to carry out its many and varied functions. When the diet is deficient then that leaves the body lacking in the various elements it needs. The modern diet is commonly nutritionally poor which places a person at significant risk of chronic mental and physical illness. Clinical examples will be provided. Many psychological and social factors affect food choices and knowledge about healthy nutrition often has a small impact upon these food choices. Weight gain is one common manifestation of poor eating patterns and many people adopt oftentimes expensive, ineffective and potentially harmful dieting programs in order to remedy the problem. Understanding the basic motivations behind eating patterns and addressing them has far more potential to be successful in the longer term. Strategies outlined in the program If Not Dieting, Then What? can include being able to develop healthy attitudes about food, being aware of non-hungry eating and learning to eat more mindfully.

Objectives: After participating successfully in this session and related activities, students will be able to: demonstrate giving explanations that patients understand and remember demonstrate giving explanations that relate to the patients illness framework involve the patient or role player in collaborative planning Content synopsis: It is essential that students do their pre-reading before attending this tutorial. This tutorial outlines the evidence for giving effective explanations to patients. Patients who are collaboratively involved in planning their care are far more likely to carry out the plans made. On average 50% of patients do not take drugs prescribed by their doctor and about 70% do not adhere to diet advice. Non compliance is often ignored by doctors. Not only is non compliance important in poorer health outcome for patients but it is also enormously expensive in terms of health service usage and wasted medications. Improved communication in giving explanations and making management plans with patients reduces non-compliance and increases patient satisfaction.

Lecture01/01-P7 - Spirituality and environment
Theme: I Discipline: HEP Sub Discipline: N/A
Objectives: After participating in this session, it is expected that students will be able to: understand the many ways in which one can look at what environment is appreciate the positive and negative impacts of environment on many aspects of mental and physical health consider the ways in which one can create a healthy environment at home, work or in the community define and distinguish between meaning, spirituality and religion appreciate the wide variety of ways in which individuals and cultures explore and express their spirituality understand the need for tolerance and respect between different individuals and cultural groups understand the role of spirituality in building resilience understand the role of spirituality in health maintenance and healthcare understand in what sorts of situations spiritual and religious issues may be relevant to or impact upon healthcare explore the relevance of these issues in clinical settings including being able to take a spiritual history Content synopsis: Environment can be understood in many ways. These include the physical environment like the air we breathe and water we drink, but it also includes the social and cultural environments we make for ourselves. Environment can have many positive and negative impacts upon health some of which we are conscious but many of which we are unconscious. Some of the effects are direct such as the impact of pollution and climate change but many are indirect such as the impact of drought upon economies and mental health. This lecture will explore these issues and give examples to illustrate how environment impacts upon us at home, work and in the wider community. It will also examine the ways in which we can individually and collectively create healthy environments. People search for meaning in various ways. Research suggest that having a spiritual or religious dimension to a persons life helps them to cope with serious illness and is associated with healthier lifestyle and better mental and physical health. Furthermore, studies suggest that the majority of patients wish to discuss these issues with their doctors, particularly when they are confronting major illnesses. Attention will be drawn to the wide variety of ways in which people and cultures explore and express their spirituality, whether it be through religion or through philosophical inquiry, altruism, environmentalism or by some other means. The importance of being able to explore these issues in a respectful and culturally appropriate way will also be emphasised. The kinds of questions one might use in order to explore these issues with patients will also be explored.

From a clinical perspective HIV/AIDS is sometimes presented as a story about a virus and the life threatening diseases that result from it but HIV/AIDS is also a major public health issue. It affects large populations and the social and economic future of whole countries. Treatment options are tied to other economic, social, cultural and political factors that impinge on the provision of adequate health care. It is also a social story which plays out very differently for particular groups and in different countries over time. The social influence of gender relations on infection are examined as well as the health implications of stigma as it is applied in different social contexts. The way in which these approaches influence relationships in clinical settings is outlined.

Lecture03/01-P93 - Haematopoietic stem cells and differentiation into red cells, white cells and platelets
Objectives: This session will continue to explore the concept of derivation of mature blood cells from the haemopoietic stem cells. It will primarily focus on the the biology of growth factors that cause multiplication of progenitor cells and their ultimate differentiation into mature cells. The clinical applications of growth actors will be discussed. Content synopsis: Blood consists of many cell types that can be grouped into three compartments: white cells, comprising of granulocytes and lymphocytes, red cells, and platelets. Haematopoietic stem cells retain the capacity to differentiate into the various cell types and thereby serve as an inexhaustible supply of blood components. The decision to differentiate into a particular cell type (lineage commitment) is influenced by instructions provided to the haematopoietic stem cells by growth factors and also by the expression within the stem cells of transcription factors that are specific to each lineage. Failure of regulation of stem cell development contributes to the development of blood cancers (leukaemias and lymphomas). Haematopoietic stem cells can be identified by the specific proteins expressed on their surface. Stem cell numbers can be increased by the use of growth factors and these cells can be collected and stored for future use. The above ability forms the basis of bone marrow transplantation.

Lecture01/01-P8 - Connectedness
Objectives: After participating in this session, it is expected that students will be able to: appreciate the relationship between connectedness, social support and health understand the potential health advantages and disadvantages dependent upon ones extent and quality of social support appreciate that when social supports change there are a number of effects on wellbeing understand the needs and effects of social support at different stages of life explore the relevance of these issues in clinical settings Content synopsis: This lecture will explore the role of social support, relationships and connectedness in health and healthcare. These terms will be defined and described, particularly in relation to how they are used in healthcare and research and some of the evidence-base on the impact of these factors on health will be presented. Connectedness is an often used term for social support. Research suggests that social support has a profound influence upon mental and physical health, independent of other lifestyle factors. It can play a positive or negative role, depending upon the extent and quality of those relationships. Family relationships, such as marriage, and works relationships are particularly influential for health. There are a number of times in ones life such as moving from another country or changing from school to university when significant transitions in ones level of social support can impact upon wellbeing. This lecture will explore these issues and the impact of social support at different stages in the life cycle.

Lecture03/01-P102 - Anaemia
Objectives: After participating successfully in this session and related activities, you should have learnt to: be familiar with symptoms and signs of anaemia using a case presentation understand iron turnover and differentiate between iron deficiency due to blood loss versus poor dietary intake appreciate the differential diagnosis of macrocytic anaemia understand the causes of B12 and folate deficiency and differentiate between causation by poor diet content, versus malabsorption Content synopsis: Anaemia is a descriptive term indicating decrease in haemoglobin in the peripheral blood. Symptoms of anaemia are the consequence of the decreased oxygen carrying capacity of the red cells. The reasons for anaemia include blood loss, deficiency of important nutrients, increased destruction of red cells from congenital structural or acquired immune-mediated causes, and bone marrow infiltration preventing normal red cell development. Adequate supply of essential nutrients such as iron, vitamin B12 and folic acid is critical for red cell growth and differentiation. The morphology (size and shape) of red blood cells often reveals clues about the aetiology. Deficiency of iron, B12 or folic acid is a common cause of anaemia. In iron deficiency, examination of blood film reveals microcytic hypochromic red cells. Deficiency of B12 and folic acid results in a macrocytic anaemia resulting from megaloblastic erythropoiesis. Keywords: anaemia, iron, ferritin, B12, folic acid, microcytic, macrocytic Glossary of Terms: Microcytes = small red cells Macrocytes = large red cells Anaemia = reduction in haemoglobin Formative Assessment: Questions from web sources: http://research.med.umkc.edu/teams/blue2/q3.html The above site contains a good list of MCQs on anaemia.

Lecture03/01-P103 - Mechanisms of haemostasis
CMS Lecturer / Tutor Dr Susan Brown Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences Email: Susan.Brown@monash.edu
Objectives: After participating successfully in this session and related activities, students should be able to: describe the basis mechanisms of haemostasis: exposure of the subendothelium, platelet adhesion and activation, activation of blood coagulation proteins leading to formation of a fibrin clot understand that bleeding disorders are usually due to either platelet or blood coagulation protein disorders, and describe the differences in the clinical presentation of these two be able to identify the key issues in taking a history to assess the bleeding patient or the bleeding risk in a pre-operative patient be aware of the basic investigations into bleeding disorders: the platelet count, APPT and PT discuss the common causes of thrombocytopaenia: increased platelet destruction, decreased platelet production and platelet sequestration due to splenomegaly understand the causes of inherited coagulation factor disorders such as von Willebrands disease and Haemophilia, and the more common acquired disorders due to liver disease, medications such as heparin or vitamin K antagonists Content synopsis: This lecture describes the basic pathologic mechanisms involved in normal haemstasis, which prevents bleeding from blood vessels. Blood clotting is initiated by damage to the blood vessel wall which exposes the subendothelium, leading to platelet adhesion and aggregation, activation of blood coagulation proteins, leading to fibrin clot formation. The coagulation protein activation cascades are discussed but need not be memorised. Bleeding disorders are usually due to defects in platelets or in blood coagulation proteins. Platelet disorders commonly present with mucocutaneous haemorrhage: petechiae (pin-point skin bleeding), nose bleeds, menorrhagia. Coagulation protein defects more commonly cause deep intramuscular or joint bleeding, or delayed post-operative bleeding. The assessment of the bleeding patient involves a detailed history of previous bleeding events, response to previous challenges such as surgery or tooth extraction, family history of bleeding disorders and current medications. The basis of commonly used investigations the platelet count, APTT and PT are outlined. The common causes of thrombocytopenia- peripheral destruction, decreased production and splenic sequestration are discussed. Common inherited coagulation protein disorders-von Willebrands disease and Hemophilia are explained. Keywords: haemostasis, subendothelium, platelets, collagen, von Willebrand factor, megakaryocytes, coagaulation proteins, tissue factor, Factor VIII, Thrombin, Fibrin, fibrinolysis, petechiae, bruising, epistaxis, haemophilia, prothrombin time (PT), International normalised ration (INR), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombocytopenia, immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), splenic sequestration, disseminated intravascular coagulation Readings: Recommended th Essential Haematology 5 ed.
