Alguna vez te preguntaste: ¿por qué se hinchan los pies después de una boda?, ¿Cuánta agua hay que beber al día?, ¿cuánta agua es demasiada?, ¿Por qué beber agua era una forma de tortura en la edad media?, ¿Cómo terminar un maratón sin deshidratarte?, ¿Por qué los médicos pueden llegar a prescribir dietas pobres en frutas y verduras?, ¿Debes tomar suplementos de fósforo para la memoria?, ¿Cómo retrasar el envejecimiento?, y, sobre todo… ¿por qué murió el campeón del concurso de bebedores de cerveza?

Este curso es una introducción a la fisiología (funcionamiento normal) y patología (enfermedades) de los riñones: Comenzando con los mecanismos que mantienen el equilibrio del agua, de la sal, del potasio, del fósforo, de la vitamina D, de la eritropoietina (si, esa, ¡la EPO de los escándalos del deporte!) y, sobre todo, de la hormona antienvejecimiento Klotho, el curso te permitirá conocer mejor el funcionamiento de los riñones y aplicar estos conocimientos a tu vida cotidiana.
No son necesarios conocimientos previos de Medicina. Acompáñanos en este viaje a la fisiología renal y su impacto sobre la salud y la enfermedad.
Qué aprenderás:

  • Fisiología y patología del agua, sodio y potasio y sus aplicaciones a la vida cotidiana
  • Fisiología y patología básica del riñón
  • Como retrasar el envejecimiento

Improving Global Health: Focusing on Quality and Safety (edX)

An introduction to the emerging field of global healthcare quality. Access to healthcare services is critical – but is it enough? We are at a critical inflection point in global health. We have seen improvements in access to care, but struggle to improve human health. A key component of this equation is quality of care. Improving access to healthcare is only as useful as the quality of care provided. Many agree that quality is important – but what is it? How do we define it? How do we measure it? And most importantly, how might we make it better?
