Neurologické vedy dosiahli za posledných dvadsať rokov  významný pokrok tak v objasnení patologických procesov a mechanizmov rozvoja mnohých neurologických ochorení, ako aj v nových  možnostiach liečby. Predkladaná učebnica obsahuje základné informácie o najdôležitejších neurologických ochoreniach, ich diagnostike, diferenciálnej diagnostike a liečbe v rozsahu pre študentov medicíny ako aj neurológov v špecializačnej príprave. Časť určená pre neurológov je odlíšená farebnou podtlačou. Oproti prvému vydaniu z roku 2017 sme niektoré kapitoly doplnili a prepracovali v súlade s najnovšími poznatkami, predovšetkým časť o cerebrovaskulárnych ochoreniach, autoimunitne podmienených ochoreniach, ale aj čo sa týka epilepsie, neuroinfekcií, migrény, extrapyramídových ochorení a demyelinizačných ochorení. Veríme, že táto vysokoškolská učebnica, ktorá zapĺňa vákuum v študijnej literatúre v slovenskom písomníctve z posledného obdobia, bude prínosom pre študentov, ale aj mladých lekárov a priblíži im zložitú, ale nesmierne zaujímavú a príťažlivú problematiku neurologických ochorení.

Despite the wide range of high quality textbooks offered on the Slovak market there is no publication with colorful pictures and schemes that can serve as an principal tool for practical and theoretical teaching of neuroanatomy for future psychologists in non-medical academic programmes of Arts and Science Faculties. Following new trends in methods of teaching, it is necessary to pay more attention to quality, depth, and effectiveness of education.

Such kind of illustrated textbook with the interesting graphic design should connect this important morphological subject and clinical medicine to understand the nervous system in the clinical context. This publication was created by using of original, new detailed pictures, and graphic schemes and was supplemented with a short clinical notes. It will be very helpfull to understand the details of neuroanatomical structures and brain regions.

We hope that originality and details of this book will find its application in studies of neuroanatomy for psychologists.

Ochorenia a poškodenia pečene, žlčníka, žlčových ciest a pankreasu predstavujú závažný diagnostický, klinický aj liečebný problém.

Táto publikácia sa zaoberá diagnostikou ochorení a traumatických poškodení pečene, žlčníka, žlčových ciest a pankreasu.

Medzi zobrazovacie diagnostické modality patrí konvenčná rádiológia – rentgen, ultrasonografia - USG, počítačová tomografia - CT a magnetická rezonancia - MR.

Keďže pojednávam o zobrazovacích modalitách, publikácia je obohatená o množstvo obrazovej dokumentácie (vlastné aj internetové zdroje) ktorá názorne ukazuje jednotlivé ochorenia, poškodenia popisovaných orgánov.

Táto publikácia je venovaná všetkým medikom, kolegom, lekárom, či už z oblasti rádiológie, ale aj pre klinikov z radov chirurgov, internistov, či gastroenterológov.

Publikácia je rozdelená na jednotlivé časti podľa orgánov a podčasti podľa zobrazovacej modality a druhov ochorenia.

Dejiny etiky predstavujú hľadanie základného princípu, ktorý by umožnil človeku rozlíšiť morálne od nemorálneho, dobro od zla či správne od nesprávneho. Hlavným problémom sú motívy, metódy a dôsledky ľudského konania. Integrita lekárskeho povolania kladie dôraz na celoživotné štúdium a prax podľa profesionálnej kompetencie a v neposlednom rade aj na dodržiavanie etických princípov a noriem medicínskej etiky. Lekárska etika a s ňou súvisiaca komunikácia v procese poskytovania zdravotnej starostlivosti sa stáva témou čoraz aktuálnejšou. Samotná komunikácia lekára s pacientom predstavuje veľmi dôležitú súčasť diagnostického procesu a liečby, významnou mierou sa podieľa na vytvorení vzájomného vzťahu a v nemalej miere zabezpečuje spoluprácu pacienta. Rozvoj rôznych informačných a sieťových technológií umožňuje síce rýchlu komunikáciu aj v medicíne, avšak vľúdne slovo a reálny kontakt s pacientom s vhodným výberom verbálnych a neverbálnych komunikačných prostriedkov v osobnom kontakte s pacientom modernú technológiu nenahradí. Súčasná doba kladie požiadavky na určité komunikačné zručnosti lekára. Ďalšiu etickú a právnu problematiku predstavuje informovaný súhlas pacienta prinášajúci aktívnu spoluúčasť pacienta v procese poskytovania zdravotnej starostlivosti. Predložená publikácia poskytuje základné informácie o lekárskej etike, komunikácii v medicíne vo všeobecnosti a komunikačných zručnostiach v lekárskej praxi. Ďalšie kapitoly sú venované problematike informovaného súhlasu, etike a špecifikám komunikácie s vybranými skupinami pacientov. Veríme, že publikácia ozrejmí čitateľovi základné etické piliere a bude nápomocná pri základnej orientácii v problematike medicínskej komunikácie.

Although chronic non-communicable diseases currently dominate overall morbidity and mortality in developed countries, epidemics of infectious diseases, especially those caused by new or emerging pathogens, occur more frequently and spread faster and further in new territories. The starting factors of this threat are mainly ecological and climatic changes and changes in human demography and behaviour. The growing resistance to ATB is also very serious, as a result of which there is a significant increase in the incidence of infectious diseases and their spread to new geographical locations. Current problems of epidemiology and microbiology in research and clinical practice are mainly focused on rapid detection and subsequent response to diagnosed diseases. The correct diagnosis of an infectious disease is the result of a clinical picture, knowledge of the current epidemiological situation and laboratory confirmation of the etiological agent. The identification of microorganisms allows us to establish the correct definitive diagnosis and subsequent targeted therapy, but also to start immediately with appropriate anti-epidemic measures to control the spread of the infectious agent.

Medical biochemistry is integral parts of basic theoretic knowledge of contemporary graduate at medical faculties. This textbook intends to help the undergraduate students of study branches General Medicine and Dental Medicine for the course of “Medical Biochemistry”. It is structured into 10 chapters concerning several topics: enzymology, cells membrane, metabolism, biochemistry of blood and organs, as well as some parts of clinical biochemistry.

The theoretical knowledge of this subject, which student obtains in the lectures, is verified in laboratory practices and is expanded in seminaries. Our selection of topics makes the text especially appropriate for medical students and managing of problems gives the students satisfactory ground for effective study of medical biochemistry and other related study subjects (e.g. clinical biochemistry, physiology, pathophysiology) in the sense of comprehension of relative continuity and interdependence of biochemical process or their function respectively.

Since the textbook brings only the skeleton survey on the biochemical problematic concerning medicine, students should broaden presented facts by additional study from lectures and/or from other sources. We expect this study literature to serve as a basic study material for mentioned medical study branches for preparation to written part of exam from “Medical Biochemistry”.
