Educational and Research Laboratory of Parasitology
Clinical Laboratory
Clinical Laboratory
Overview
The clinical laboratory was established in 2000, after transferring of some of the departments of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine’s Student Town. In 2006, a project of the Ministry of Education and Science is completely reequipment with new, modern apparatuses and currently meet all the demanding needs of a modern laboratory. This laboratory is in the Department of Internal diseases and Pharmacology and is an important link in the overall clinical diagnostic process of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at University of Forestry. The purpose of the lab is to perform a wide range of paraclinical tests in the development of research topics and research projects of graduate students, professors from universities and other research units. The other main feature is a diagnostic and laboratory studies
Working team
In laboratory work a one associate professor, one chief assistant and a laboratory assistant. In developing research projects that involve students they become part of the working team. Students on duty at the Department of Internal Medicine IV and V – course also participate in the laboratory upon receipt of patients with a need to undertake certain clinical examinations.
Scientific and laboratory diagnostic range
Diagnostic activities
The laboratory is the only place in Sofia, where can a high professional level to perform, interpret and to provide competent clinical evaluation of diagnostic tests. The analytical range of the laboratory covers most necessary for diagnosis analysis. There are opportunities to explore new indicators.
Amount of activity
From patients to citizens, studies with students from V course and research projects of faculty each year enter a few hundred patients. On each made from 3 to 10, analysis of various indicators.
Equipment
The laboratory is equipped with an automatic hematology analyzer, automatic biochemical analyzer, microscope with digital camera and video image of the observed objects in real time and all necessary supporting technical equipment for proper functioning of a modern clinical laboratory.
Activities in the laboratory related to school work
Paraclinical tests performed on patients in the practical and clinical classes in the propaedeutics, internal medicine and mobile clinics with students of III, IV and V course, are made entirely in the laboratory and the results obtained are analyzed and interpreted by students in order clarify and put an accurate diagnosis.
Functional Study
Functional Study
Overview
Functional office was established in 2006 with funds from a project by the Ministry of Education and Science. Functional studyt as a structure is a component of the Department of Internal diseases and pharmacology. Represents an integral and important part of teaching and research clinical diagnostic process in the work of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at University of Forestry. The aim of functional study is to perform specialized clinical trials on patients to develop research topics and research projects of graduate students, professors from universities and other research units. Another major goal of functional surgery to improve the clinical training of students.
Working team
The work of the function room is secured by one assoc. professor and three chief assistants of discipline internal diseases. Students on duty at the Department of Internal Medicine IV and V course when necessary to carry out gastroscopy, ultrasonography and electrocardiography participate in preparing and carrying out the manipulations.
Scientific and diagnostic range of functional office
Diagnostic activities
Functional study is the only place in Sofia, where based on the specialization of workers in human medicines clinics can a high professional level to perform these clinical examination to interpret and to provide competent clinical evaluation of established findings.
Amount of activity
Annually in the functional study of patients of citizens under the clinical training of students of III, IV and V course through research projects carried out dozens of faculty clinical research.
Equipment
Functional cabinet is equipped with fibrogastroscope, portable ultrasound and 12 channel ECG.
Activities in the functional study related to school work
Gastroscopy, ultrasonography and electrocardiography, and specific clinical research methods are considered in detail a practical Propedeutics of Internal Medicine. Clinical studies performed on patients in the office used in training the students of IV and V course in internal medicine.
Мicrobiologycal Laboratory
Мicrobiologycal Laboratory
Overview
The Microbiological Laboratory in Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Forestry, is situated in “Tsarigradsko shosse” № 73. The person in charge is assoc. prof. Teodora Popova, Ph.D.
It is a teaching, diagnostic and research laboratory and is a part of clinical – diagnostic unit of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Forestry.
It provides the following activities:
Teaching:
- Practical training of students of Veterinary Medicine in the discipline Microbiology.
- Postgraduate study in the specialty “Microbiology and diagnostic of bacterial infections”.
Diagnostic:
Microbiological and mycological diagnostic tests of clinical and pathological materials from domestic and wild animals are carried out. Isolation and identification of pathogens through application of complex microscopic, cultural, biochemical and serological methods are performed, as well as in vitro determination of the sensitivity of isolated bacteria to antibiotics and chemotherapeutics.
Research
We are currently working on the following projects:
- Alien terrestrial arthropods and their impact on biodiversity in Bulgaria (ATARTIB) – on-going (partner) – Project N 827 / 12/17/2008.
- Ecologization of anaerobe biotechnologies by combination of energy cultures and waste biomass (Project N DVU 02-282/2010).
Much of the results of research and diagnostic activities are implemented in the educational process. They are demonstrated to students during the practical classes. Permanent preparations are made, by which the collection for practical exercises is filled regularly. In some cases, pictures and other visual materials are made and used for academic work.
The laboratory has the necessary equipment for microbiological work (research microscope with camera and capabilities for ultramicroscopic and fluorescent study, educational microscopes, thermostats, refrigerators, autoclave, sterilizers, water bath, scales, centrifuges, distiller, etc.). Also a large collection of microbial strains, permanent microscopic preparations and necessary glassware, culture media, diagnostic kits, chemicals and other supplies are available.
Educational and research laboratory of “Ecological biotechnologies in stock-breeding and control of fodder and animal feed”
Educational and research laboratory of “Ecological biotechnologies in stock-breeding and control of fodder and animal feed”
Overview
The Scientific-educational laboratory of “Ecological biotechnologies in stock-breeding and control of fodder and animal feed” was established after a special project of the Ministry of Education and Science. It is a scientific–educational unit of the department of “Animal Science” of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Forestry.
Currently the laboratory is used from the members of the department for research on scientific topics and for educational activity in many disciplines.
The staff work on topics related to the quality and safety of fodder and animal feed. They continue also the development connected to the production of biogas. The laboratory disposes of biogas installation that allows the research on different sources of biogas.
