Materials for Lectures

Lectures on Biology 1, Biology 2, Medical and Human Biology 1 and Medical and Human Biology 2 are intended for the 1st year students studying General Medicine and Dental Medicine at UPJŠ, Faculty of Medicine. The published set of lectures is supposed to serve as auxiliary study material for individual biology topics according to the current course syllabus.

The presentation was used during a lecture for students of Dental Medicine from the subject Pathological Physiology. It introduces basic physiological and pathophysiological terms and deals with an overview of motor disorders at different levels of the nervous system and muscles, including examples.

This publication is intended mainly for students of medicine studying at the UPJŠ in Košice, Faculty of Medicine. The textbook covers the basic knowledge of selected topics of general, physical, inorganic, organic and bioorganic chemistry required for successful completion of the course of Medical Chemistry. Knowledge of the structures and functions of chemical substances and compounds, as well as their interactions and factors of surroundings influencing those interactions is very important for next study medical biochemistry incoming physicians. For better and easier understanding is the text appropriately supplemented with figures, tables, and numerous of chemical schemes. The separate part of this publication presents the chemistry of the most important dental materials used in clinical practise of future dentists, including the properties of metals, polymers and impression materials.

Psychopathology is a field that studies abnormal cognition, behavior, and experiences that deviate from social norms. It is based on a number of constructs that are considered the social norm in a particular era. Descriptive psychopathology involves categorizing, defining, and understanding symptoms based on people's reports and their behavior, which are then evaluated according to the social norm.

Nootropics are a group of medicinal substances that can improve human thinking, learning, and memory, especially in cases where these functions are impaired.

Psychostimulants are drugs that can significantly influence cognitive and affective functioning and behaviors.

Proper administration of individual medications and reagents is of the upmost importance in the clinical practice of future doctors. It can be affected by age, body weight, kidney and liver health, and other health conditions. Subject Medical Chemistry is therefore an essential part of the theoretical education at medical faculties. The basics for the successful completion of the course are also basic chemistry calculations including solution preparation, stoichiometric calculations, pH calculations (including buffers) and spectrophotometric calculations. In addition to brief theoretical introductions, the material also contains a series of examples for practice, in order to help students in repeating and preparing for the exam from Medical Chemistry.

Lectures containing actual knowledge from Medcial psychology that has been presented from academic year 2023/2024, and has been dedicated to dental medicine students of the 2nd year. Theorethical backround is linked to practical lessons, and includes topics such as communication skills, normality and pathology of personality, abnormal psychology, psychotherapy, psychology of oral habits, stress and coping strategies, or psychology of emotions and cognition.

Lectures are devoted to students of the 1st year of study - General medicine. The students can find here all lectures for summer term retroperitoneal space, urinary system, reproductive systems and pelvis, then anatomy of head and neck including central nervous system. The last lectures are about sensory organs and endocrine system.
