Rabies01:28

Rabies

Rabies is a lethal zoonotic disease caused by a single-stranded, negative-sense RNA virus of the Lyssavirus genus, within the family Rhabdoviridae. Its primary mode of transmission to humans is through bites or saliva-contaminated scratches from infected mammals such as dogs, bats, raccoons, or foxes. Transmission can also occur if infectious saliva contacts abraded skin or intact mucous membranes, including the conjunctiva.Viral Entry and Early ReplicationOnce introduced at the bite or scratch...
Viral Recombination00:57

Viral Recombination

Cells are sometimes infected by more than one virus at once. When two viruses disassemble to expose their genomes for replication in the same cell, similar regions of their genomes can pair together and exchange sequences in a process called recombination. Alternatively, viruses with segmented genomes can swap segments in a process called reassortment.
Infectious Diseases and Their Occurrence01:28

Infectious Diseases and Their Occurrence

Infectious diseases appear in populations through various transmission patterns, influenced by pathogen characteristics, population immunity, environmental conditions, and social behavior. Understanding these patterns is essential for effective public health surveillance and intervention. These categories—sporadic, outbreak, epidemic, pandemic, and endemic—help frame the nature and scope of disease events.Sporadic diseases occur irregularly and infrequently, without a predictable temporal or...
Toxoplasmosis01:28

Toxoplasmosis

Toxoplasmosis, a zoonotic disease caused by the protozoan Toxoplasma gondii, poses significant public health challenges globally due to its high seroprevalence and varied clinical manifestations. As an obligate intracellular parasite, T. gondii can infect all warm-blooded vertebrates, but felids are its only definitive hosts, shedding unsporulated oocysts into the environment. Humans typically acquire the infection through ingestion of tissue cysts in undercooked meat or oocysts from...
Viral Mutations00:36

Viral Mutations

A mutation is a change in the sequence of bases of DNA or RNA in a genome. Some mutations occur during replication of the genome due to errors made by the polymerase enzymes that replicate DNA or RNA. Unlike DNA polymerase, RNA polymerase is prone to errors because it is not capable of “proofreading” its work. Viruses with RNA-based genomes, like HIV, therefore accrue mutations faster than viruses with DNA-based genomes. Because mutation and recombination provide the raw material for adaptive...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Dental Curriculum Development
  • Human Pathology

Background:

  • The General Dental Council's "The first five years" (2002) mandates human diseases as a core BDS subject.
  • Previously, related medical topics were taught and examined in isolation.
  • This created a need for a unified and comprehensive approach to disease education in dentistry.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the development of a human diseases course at Newcastle Dental School.
  • To align the course content with the General Dental Council's specified learning outcomes and subject areas.
  • To share practical experiences in integrating diverse medical subjects into a single dental curriculum module.

Main Methods:

  • Curriculum design based on General Dental Council recommendations.
  • Integration of subjects including pathology, microbiology, medicine, surgery, pharmacology, therapeutics, and emergency care.
  • Development of a cohesive learning program for dental students.

Main Results:

  • Successful creation of an integrated human diseases course at Newcastle.
  • The course incorporates key areas identified by the General Dental Council.
  • This approach consolidates previously separate topics into a unified program.

Conclusions:

  • The Newcastle experience demonstrates a viable model for implementing integrated human disease education in dental schools.
  • Aligning with GDC guidelines ensures comprehensive coverage of essential medical knowledge for dentists.
  • This integrated curriculum enhances the learning experience and prepares students more effectively.
