Materials for Lectures

The subject Medical Chemistry includes selected chapters from general, inorganic, physical, organic chemistry. Teaching focuses mainly on bioorganic chemistry, which is a static part and an introduction to the study of medical biochemistry. Knowledge of the structure and function of chemical substances and compounds, as well as their interaction and factors which can influence these interactions is very important for students of General Medicine. Medical Chemistry represent the basis especially for the study of Medical Biochemistry, Pathobiochemistry and Clinical Biochemistry.

The database tools allow collecting, storage, handling and evaluation of different types of information. Using a database one can store data about persons, goods, services etc. In contrast to spreadsheet programs the databases usually uses several separate and interconnected tables to minimize duplicate records. The data can be easily accessed, managed and updated; regardless the database content is bibliographic, text, numeric or even graphical.

Medical Biochemistry has an irreplaceable role in study of General Medicine. The students should learn about biochemical reactions in all living systems, especially in the human body. The knowledge will help them later to diagnose and treat many diseases correctly. In firsts semester is study concentrated to metabolic processes connected with metabolism of nutrients (e.g. saccharides, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids). In second semester is teaching focused to study metabolism of organs (e.g. liver, kidney, muscles, hard tissue, skin), chemical communications and introduction to Clinical Biochemistry.

The lecture provides a comprehensive overview of the cranial nerves I–XII, including their anatomical origin, nuclei in the brainstem, course, and main branches. Emphasis is placed on their motor, sensory, and parasympathetic functions, as well as their role in everyday neurological practice. Special attention is given to the clinical examination of cranial nerves, with practical demonstrations of testing methods. The annotation also includes a discussion of the most frequent pathological findings and syndromes associated with cranial nerve lesions, highlighting their diagnostic significance in neurological disorders.

The presentations are a set of lectures intended for students of the 3rd year of dental medicine. The individual lectures are correlated with the current syllabus of the subject Internal Medicine 1 in the winter semester of the thrid year of study. Graduate acquires basic knowledges and skills needed in dental medicine. Complete detailed history, physical examination of the patient and laboratory examination methods. Diagnosis and control the basic symptoms of individual diagnoses.

Medical informatics represents a science where the data, information and knowledge from the area of medicine and health care are systematically processed. Therefore, informatics itself is an essential part of medicine affecting health care system as well as education of its employees. Presentations here are intended to be used as introduction to the study of this area.

Practical exercises from Chemistry of Dental Materials is a set of experimental exercises designed for a better understanding of the subject. Practical experimental tasks enable students to become familiar with the basic chemical calculation and with chemical properties of materials commonly used in dentistry. They contribute to a better understanding of the properties of e.g., hydroxyapatite, metal corrosion and other properties of elements contained in dental materials.

The lecture addresses the issue of dementia, a progressive syndrome characterized by a decline in cognitive functions that interferes with the affected individual's daily life. The introduction explains the basic concepts, types of dementia, and their prevalence, with a particular focus on Alzheimer’s disease as the most common form of dementia.

Lectures are devoted to the students of the 1st study year in the field of Dental medicine. Students can find here the supporting material in the form of lecture notes from Histology and Embryology 2. The slides offered here describe particular topics according to the syllabus they have to pass during summer term.

Neurocognitive Disorders (NCDs) are acquired conditions characterized by a decline in cognitive functions such as memory, attention, and reasoning. Common examples include dementia (e.g., Alzheimer's disease), delirium, and cognitive impairment due to brain injury or disease. Mental Disorders Due to a General Medical Condition arise as a direct physiological result of a medical illness, such as depression from hypothyroidism or psychosis from a brain tumor.
