Autoimmune

25th July 2021

Welcome to the Third Mediccom Event, where we will be going back to PBL presentations. We picked autoimmune diseases

Each title is broad and can be explored however you would like.
We have created a few topics that your PBL presentation should cover:

Pathophysiology - How does this condition come about, which biochemical systems does it involve, what physics are involved and exactly why does it happen?
Diagnosis - How does a Medical Expert diagnose this?
Current Treatment - How does one currently treat this disease?
Complications - Lacks in current treatment
Analytics - Need to Raise Awareness and Any Innovative ideas to further treatment?
Ethical Concerns - How can you implement the 4 pillars of medical Ethics in a scenario. Are there any notable cases?

Make sure to reference each article used (Put your bibliography on the last slide). We hope you have fun researching!

Guillain-Barré syndrome

Coeliac Disease

Coeliac disease is a condition where your immune system attacks your own tissues when you eat gluten. This damages your gut (small intestine) so you are unable to take in nutrients. Coeliac disease can cause a range of symptoms, including diarrhoea, abdominal pain and bloating. NHS

Many thanks to AIMS Charity

Link to donate to AIMS

AIMS strives to preserve and protect the health and wellbeing of UK patients suffering from Multiple Sclerosis and Autoimmune disease, in the provision of signposting, support and grants.

Some common autoimmune diseases, including Type 1 diabetes mellitus, are relatively easy to diagnose, while others, such as vasculitis, Addison's disease, lupus and other rheumatic diseases, are more difficult. Additionally, many of the 100-plus autoimmune diseases are uncommon or rare.

Since we are learning about such diseases, it would be the most beneficial if we could give back to the cause, hence we have set up a JustGiving page for AIMS, so please go donate when you can!
