Learning outcomes
The subject complexly deals with the current issues in neurology and neurosurgery, including anatomy, physiology, syndromology, pathophysiology, diagnostics and treatment of the peripheral and central nervous system disorders. Anatomy, physiology of the peripheral and central nervous system. Pathophysiology, diagnostics and treatment of the peripheral and central nervous system disorders. Clinical neurological examination including patient history, syndromological and topical diagnostics, planning of complementary examinations (including the assessment of the results of laboratory, neuroradiological, neurophysiological and other tests), formulation of etiological diagnosis, therapy plan in acute and chronic neurological disorders (epilepsy, sleep disorders, cerebrovascular diseases, injuries, infectious diseases, tumours, extrapyramidal disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, headache, demyelinating diseases, paraneoplastic and toxonutritive affections of nervous system, brain oedema, hydrocephalus, unconsciousness, brain death, disorders of the peripheral nerves, spine and spinal cord, cranial nerves, autonomic nervous system, muscles, disorders of neuromuscular transmission).
