Neurologie pro humanitní obory – Orel Miroslav (2023)

The presented publication introduces neurology to readers from non-medical fields in an understandable manner – a distinct branch of contemporary medicine that specializes in diseases of the central and peripheral nervous systems. The aim is to make the subject matter as comprehensible and accessible as possible while maintaining the professionalism of the explanation, but without overwhelming details. For this reason, the text is supplemented with a number of diagrams, illustrations, outputs, and photographs from medical examinations. ***** The text is clearly structured and provides a structured summary of the basic symptoms and specific diagnoses related to nervous system diseases. The book addresses the examination options available in contemporary medicine and also summarizes recommended procedures and the limits of both pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment of neurological diseases. To anchor the topic, the basic aspects of the structure and function of the nervous system as such are briefly mentioned. Significant developmental aspects are also not overlooked.
