Mária Mareková a kol. 

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”.

Current classification of demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system according to van der Knaap and Valko from 2005 includes 97 congenital and acquired diseases that cause demyelination of the white matter of the brain and spinal cord. Most of these disorders lacks any definitive diagnostic test, so the accurate diagnosis depends on upon clinical symptoms, course of the disease, neurological findings, and the results of neuroimaging and laboratory examinations.

The aim of this textbook is to provide an accurate overview of acquired demyelinating diseases of the CNS, their etiopathogenesis, clinical picture and diagnostic options.

Improving the best practices in the provision of the first pre-medical care is one of the priority areas of clinical medicine in most countries of the world. Despite the success in improving the provision of medical care at the level of FPMA and emergency medical care, it is the provision of skilled care at the earliest stages of the disease or emergency conditions that determines the quality of all medical care and the future of the patient. When rendering emergency care to the sick and injured, the time factor is very important, it prevents irreversible disturbances in the body and creates a good help for the complete cure of the patient. Textbook is designed to improve awareness of the importance of pre-medical aid to non-medical students in central Asian countries.

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.
