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 1. According to the syllabus of lectures for winter semester these topics are included: Cytology, Epithelial tissue, Connective tissues, Muscle tissue, Nerve tissue and Embryology (1.-8. week of development).

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 for General Medicine students include microscopic structure of selected organs and introduction to early embryonic development and oraganogenesis according to syllabus for second semester as well as final examination questions. The content of lectutes includes: cardiovascular system, lymhatic system, digestive and respiratory systems, urogenital systems, endocrine and nerve system, sensory organs.

Presentation on Brain Tumors for dentistry. 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.

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.

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

Lectures from the subject of Pharmacology 2 are intended for students of the fourth year of the study program General Medicine. They should serve as an auxiliary study material for mastering the basic principles of pharmacology and gaining an overview about the various groups of drugs used in human medicine.

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.

Materials for lectures from the subject Pharmacology 1 are intended for students of the 3rd year of the study program Dental Medicine. They should serve as an auxiliary material for mastering the basic principles of pharmacology and gaining an overview about the various groups of drugs used in human medicine.

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 Biochemistry has an irreplaceable role in study of Dental Medicine. The students should learn about biochemical reactions taking place in the human body. The knowledge will help them better understand processes take place in the mouth. 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), hard tissue and to oral biochemistry and pathobiochemistry (e.g. dental plaque, tooth decay and tartar).

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.
