The lecture focuses on a neurological perspective of clinically significant diseases affecting the central or peripheral nervous system. Prion diseases are rare, progressive neurodegenerative disorders of the CNS caused by the pathological conformation of prion proteins. The most common is Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease. AIDP (acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy) is the most common form of Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS).

Presentation on Brain Tumors for general medicine contains information on the international classification of brain tumors, discusses primary and secondary brain tumors. It deals with the etiology and pathogenesis of brain tumors, clinical symptomatology, diagnosis and treatment of brain tumors - symptomatic medical treatment, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and neurosurgical treatment.

The lecture for 4th-year general medicine students discusses vertebrogenic diseases of discopathy and degenerative, traumatic, as well as non-traumatic (inflammatory) spondylopathy etiology, leading to damage of structures such as the spinal cord and spinal nerves. It addresses the most common vertebrogenic pain syndromes.

Attached teaching material includes lecture notes on Haemorrhagic Strokes (CMP) for students of general medicine. The lecture content is focused on intracranial hemorrhages: intracerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) - definition, diagnosis (symptomatology, paraclinical examinations), treatment, prognosis and complications.

Presented teaching material: PPT lecture on Sudden Ischemic Stroke (NCMP). The content of the lecture is definition, pathophysiology, epidemiology, diagnosis (symptomatology according to basin or occluded cerebral vessel), diagnosis (native CT, CT angiography, CT perfusion, MRI), acute management of a patient with ischemic NCMP (intravenous thrombolysis, mechanical thrombectomy, carotid stenting , carotid endarterectomy) and subsequent care and diagnosis of the patient after ischemic NCMP (search for etiology, rehabilitation, screening for cognitive impairment and secondary prevention).

Lectures from the subject of Neurology 2 are intended for students of the fourth year of the study program General Medicine. The individual records of the lecturers explain the main topics according to the current curriculum of the subject, including the topics such as ischemic stroke and many more.

This presentation explores neuroinfections, which are infections that affect the central and peripheral nervous system. Key topics include the major types of neuroinfections such as meningitis, encephalitis, meningoencephalitis, myelitis, neuritis, polyneuritis, radiculitis, polyradiculoneuritis and also neuroboreliosis and neurosyphylis. The last topic are brain abscesses. During the lecture were presented the main clinical features, diagnostic procedures, differential diagnosis and treatment.
