This document provides an introduction to the field of pathology. It defines pathology as the scientific study of disease and notes its two main branches: general pathology, which examines basic cellular reactions to stimuli, and systemic pathology, which examines organ-specific responses. It describes the main subdivisions or specialties within pathology and explains key aspects of disease processes, including etiology, pathogenesis, morphologic changes, and clinical manifestations. Finally, it outlines the components and design of the pathology course.
The study of pathology will prepare the nurses to understand how the disease started, what was the main cause of disease process, how diseases are diagnosed and what changes may be expected at cellular, tissue and organ level during the illness.

CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)

INTRODUCTION TO PATHOLOGY
4. INTRODUCTION TO PATHOLOGY
What is Pathology?
•Pathology is the study of disease by scientific
methods.
•The word pathology came from the Latin words
“pathos” & “logos”.
•‘Pathos’ means disease and ‘logos’ means study,
therefore pathology is a scientific study of disease.
•It focuses on the structural, biochemical, and
functional changes in cells, tissues, and
organs in disease
6. INTRODUCTION TO PATHOLOGY
Branches of pathology
1. General Pathology
2. Systemic pathology.
• General pathology- is concerned with the basic
reactions of cells and tissues to abnormal stimuli
that underlie all diseases.
• Systemic pathology- examines the specific
responses of specialized organs and tissues to more
or less well- defined stimuli
8. INTRODUCTION TO PATHOLOGY
1. ANATOMIC PATHOLOGY
• Studies the effect of disease on the structure of body organs,
both as a whole (grossly) and microscopically.
• Surgical specimens, autopsies, microscopic slides of tissue
2. FORENSIC PATHOLOGY
• Involves application of pathological methods in investigation
of a crime and of sudden, suspicious or unexplained deaths.
• Autopsies, microscopic slides of tissue samples, toxicology.
9. INTRODUCTION TO PATHOLOGY
3. CYTOPATHOLOGY
• Examines cells from various body sites to determine the
cause or the nature of disease
• Exfoliative cytology and Fine needle aspiration cytology
(FNAC)
4. HAEMATOLOGY
• Deals with the diseases of blood and blood related
components
10. INTRODUCTION TO PATHOLOGY
5.MICROBIOLOGY
• The study of disease causing micro-organisms
• Micro-organisms include viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites
6. CHEMICAL PATHOLOGY
• Involves the biochemical investigation of bodily fluids such
as blood, urine and cerebrospinal fluid.
11. INTRODUCTION TO PATHOLOGY
7. IMMUNOLOGY
• Study of immune responses associated with diseases
• Includes immunosuppressive disorders, hypersensitivity
diseases and autoimmune disorders
8. MOLECULAR PATHOLOGY
• Is an emerging discipline within pathology which is focused
in the study and diagnosis of disease through the
examination of molecules within organs, tissues or bodily
fluids
13. INTRODUCTION TO PATHOLOGY
Etiology
• Etiology of a disease means the cause of the disease.
• There are two major classes of etiologic factors;
Genetic (primary) and Acquired (secondary).
• When the cause of a particular disease is not known it is
referred to as being idiopathic
14. INTRODUCTION TO PATHOLOGY
• Pathogenesis
• Pathogenesis means the mechanism through
which the cause operates to produce the pathological and
clinical manifestations or structural and functional
abnormalities
The incubation period is the time
between exposure to an infectious
agent and onset of symptoms
15. INTRODUCTION TO PATHOLOGY
Morphologic Changes
• The morphologic changes refer to the structural alterations
in cells or tissues that occur following the pathogenetic
mechanisms.
• The structural changes in the organ can be seen with the
naked eye or they may only be seen under the microscope.
• GROSS MORPHOLOGIC CHANGES & MICROSCOPIC
CHANGES
16. INTRODUCTION TO PATHOLOGY
Clinical Manifestations.
• The morphologic changes in the organ influence the normal
function of the organ.
• By doing so, they determine the clinical features (symptoms
and signs), course, and prognosis of the disease.
