Pathologies

The term “pathology”, in the medical field, indicates the study of the causes of a disease on the body, or the mechanisms that determine its alterations and effects.

In the biomedical field it is defined more precisely “general pathology”, while in common parlance it is considered a synonym of the word “disease”.

In the medical field, a pathology represents an ongoing disease and the pathological state therefore represents a condition of suffering of the organism.
