Abstract	This module focuses on special aspects of health and illness in the early and late life phases as well as diseases of whole organ systems. It includes special features of the pediatric, geriatric and rheumatological anamnesis.
Learning objective	Early Life Cycle: • Knowledge of the pediatric aspects of the medical history. • Knowledge about the enormous variety of child development (inter- and intra-individual variability). • Milestone concept: Assessment of the stage of development of a child in the first years of life. • Landmark concept: first knowledge of the demilitation on normality versus disorder. • Getting to know frequent developmental pediatric disorders. • Knowledge of the most common congenital heart defects. • Getting to know and recognize respiratory diseases of the upper and lower respiratory tract. Late Life Cycle: Upon successful completion of the module, students should be able to • correctly describe the biological bases of the aging process. • derive physical and pharmacological choices to modulate the aging process. • understand the social and psychological implication of aging. • describe the specificities of geriatric medicine in the stationary setting. • identify the age-specific differences in both diagnostics and therapeutics
