Welcome to the course "HISTOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF
PLACENTAL MALARIA"
This course is the second of the two courses on placental histology prepared
for the Pyrapreg teams.
The main objectives of the course are:
- To learn how to recognize the basic structures of the placenta in an
histological study
- To learn how to identify the malarial parasites and pigment in a placental
sample
- To know how a histological evaluation form of a
placenta in studies on malaria in pregnancy should be completed
The course is organized in four sections, which
include a total of 4 lessons.
In the virtual campus, you will find for the different lessons a series of
materials that may include:
- Narrated PowerPoint presentations
- PDFs of the different presentations to facilitate the personal study of the
contents of the lessons
- "Standard operating procedures" (SOP), with a detailed description
of the main technical procedures.
Although the estimated duration of the
course is 26 hours, all materials will be available to the attendees for two full
weeks. During this one-week period, any questions raised by attendees will be
answered by the training team. A forum has been opened in the virtual campus to
allow you posting any questions you may have.
All the materials are in English, but questions posted
in French or Portuguese will also be accepted.
The course includes sessions of virtual
microscopy. You will have the opportunity to study some representative slides
of placentas using your computer as a microscope.
Once you feel comfortable with your
skills, you should complete a few slides in section 4. These slides will be
your final evaluation, which will be used to make sure that you have reached
the objectives of the course.
Before
completing the final evaluation, you have in section three a series of cases
self evaluation. These slides will not be used for your evaluation. You should
use them to evaluate yourselves your preparedness for the final evaluation
