Presentation on Brain Tumors. It 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.

Attached teaching material: PPT lecture on Electroencephalography (EEG), polysomnography (PSG) and sleep disorders. The aim of the lecture is to describe the basic principles of electroencephalography, the examination procedure, indications for EEG examination and basic interpretations of the EEG recording. The lecture also discusses the principle and indications and interpretation of the results of the polysomnographic examination. The last part of the lecture is devoted to sleep disorders - their classification, diagnosis (polysomnography, MSLT) and treatment.

Attached teaching material: PPT lecture on Cranial Nerves. The content of the lecture notes related to the lecture on basic anatomy, physiology of the cranial nerves, clinical manifestation in disorders of the functions of the cranial nerves and clinical examination of the functions of the cranial nerves.

Attached teaching material: PPT lecture on Cortical syndromes. The content of lecture notes for the presentation related to the lecture intended for the students of general medicine is focused on the clinical manifestation of damage to individual cortical areas or syndromology of cerebral lobe damage.

Imaging procedures Attached teaching material: PPT lecture on Imaging methods. The lecture is focused on imaging methodologies used in diagnostics in neurology. These are methods such as computed tomography (CT), CT angiography, CT perfusion, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and digital subtraction angiography (DSA). Each methodology contains a description of the principle of how the indications work and a basic description of pathological findings.

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).

Attached teaching material: PPT lecture on Haemorrhagic Strokes (CMP). 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 Headaches. The lecture is focused on classification of headaches, definition and clinical diagnostic criteria for individual types of headaches, differential diagnosis of headaches and treatment or therapeutic options for the treatment of individual types of headaches. Special attention is focused on migraine.

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.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a hereditary progressive neuromuscular disorder that is inherited in X-linked recessive pattern. Mutation of dystrophin gene results into a loss of integrity and function of muscular fibres and their replacement by adipose and connective tissue. Muscle degeneration leads to motoric impairment and loss of walk around 12th year of age. Myocardium is also frequently affected. Respiratory muscles impairment and other complications lead to respiratory failure. If left untreated, death occurs around 20th year of life, usually due to cardiac or respiratory causes. Respiratory insufficiency development is treated by mechanical ventilation support.
