BMS3020 Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

An introduction to metallo-biology which aids in understanding common mechanisms for the following lectures on copper and iron homeostasis.

Comprehensive notes for the final lecture of the metal biology section of BMS3020. Looks at iron overload disease known as haemochromatosis.

Comprehensive and colour-coordinated notes for Chronic Disease BMS3020 looking at the pathophysiology and management of chronic kidney disease - the second lecture given on Chronic Kidney Disease by Prof. Sheerin at Newcastle.

Lecture looking at copper homeostasis and distribution for humans.

Lecture notes for the first lecture (out of 2) on chronic kidney disease. This lecture is the clinical half and therefore covers kidney function, definitions and epidemiology of CKD and impact on patients.

A detailed lecture exploring the concept of SNPs and types of genome studies, along with their advantages and disadvantages. The lecture then goes onto discuss some specific SNP examples in associated with diseases, which is difficult to understand so hopefully these colour co-ordinated notes will help!

Iron homeostasis is explored in this lecture.

A difficult lecture to end the nutrient-gene interaction section of the BMS3020 module but hopefully these concise and well-explained notes will surely help! Selenium often appears on the exam so be prepared!

The third lecture in the immunology strand of BMS3020 Chronic Disease module. Looking at different immunotherapies - all nicely colour co-ordinated, making for easy memorisation and sufficient detail to write your exam essays!
