The laboratory manuals are developed to the foreign students of medicine for practical laboratory exercise and verification of knowledge from medical biochemistry. Exercises are arranged into weeks in winter term (WT) and summer term (ST), like it is in Syllabus of Lectures and practical exercises (WT, ST). Students can apply their manual skill in performing of the experiments, and also train their ability in evaluation of results and making of diagnoses.

Revised and supplemented first published version “Practical exercises from biochemistry”. Authors: Tomečková V., Kron I., Mareková M., Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice, Košice 2011, ISBN 978-80-7097-874-0.

The lecture focuses on the anatomy and function of the extrapyramidal system, including the clinical characteristics of hypokinetic and hyperkinetic syndromes, such as tremor, chorea, athetosis and dystonia. It covers the functional anatomy of the cerebral cortex, higher cortical functions and their disorders, particularly aphasia, alexia, agraphia and dysarthria.

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).

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.

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.

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 presentations are a set of lectures intended for students of the 3rd year of general medicine. The individual lectures are correlated with the current syllabus of the subject Internal Medicine - Propedeutics in the winter term of the thrid year of study. Basic clinical nomenclature, evaluation of anamnestic data and physical examination in internal medicine. Evaluation of basic auxiliary examination methods.

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.

The lecture focuses on the anatomy, function, and disorders of the extrapyramidal system and cerebellum. It covers the clinical manifestations, classification, and differential diagnosis of movement disorders, including parkinsonism, tremor, chorea, dystonia, myoclonus, and tics. The lecture also addresses balance and coordination disorders, different types of ataxia, and their clinical differentiation. Emphasis is placed on the recognition of neurological symptoms, comprehensive neurological examination, and the importance of accurate diagnosis in identifying the underlying causes of movement disorders.

The presentations included here represent a series of lectures for students of Dental Medicine in the first year of study. Individual lectures correlate with recent curriculum of the course and have to be used especially as auxiliary education material specifying basic structures of the trunk and limbs.

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.
