DEPARTMENT OF NERVOUS DISEASES, MEDICAL GENETICS AND NEUROSURGERY

FROM THE HISTORY OF THE DEPARTMENT

The Department of Nervous Diseases was established at  Dagestan Medical Institute in early 1936. Doctor of Medical Sciences, M. S. Dobrokhotov (1878-1952), was appointed its first head. Mikhail Sergeyevich is a bright representative of  Moscow neurological school, a student of one of the founders of Russian neuroscience V. K. Roth.

In the first years after the creation of the department, the research topics of the staff were mainly related to the study of the mineral waters of Dagestan. In particular, the influence of Talginsky mineral springs on the course of various forms of diseases of the nervous system. Mikhail Sergeyevich himself was engaged in research on the connection of the visual hillock with the formations of the medulla oblongata.

It was M. S. Dobrokhotov who headed Dagestan consulting bureau during the Great Patriotic War, which provided practical assistance to health authorities. At this time, he wrote the articles “Complex treatment of combat injuries”, “Reflex syndromes in wounded limbs”, which summarized his experience in the evacuation hospitals of Dagestan.

After the death of M. S. Dobrokhotov in December 1952, the department of nervous diseases was headed by a graduate of  Kiev Medical Institute, Candidate of Medical Sciences Vladimir Abramovich Lichtenstein (1909-1989), whose works determined the leading directions in the work of the department for the following decades:  the traditional study of the clinical picture and methods of diagnosing brucellosis of the nervous system was supplemented by a promising study of the suprasegmental division of the autonomic nervous system, the processes of thermoregulation, and the variability of autonomic reactions under the influence of temperature stimuli.

A truly innovative invention a thermal pulsator was patented in 1969, which differed from the previously existing ones by the ability to perform rhythmic temperature stimuli with a given frequency and intensity.V. A. Lichtenstein developed a unique method of local heat exposure using a thermal pulsator, intended for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia in 1977.

The research directions of V. A. Lichtenstein  set the vector of scientific activity of the department which were reflected in three monographs – “On the temperature analyzer and its role in norm and pathology” (1961),” Temperature topography of the human body “(1967),” Tendon reflexes in humans (biological significance and clinical manifestations) ” (1968)  set the vector of scientific activity of the department. Under the leadership of V. A. Lichtenstein, 7 candidate’s and 1 doctoral dissertations were defended.

Vladimir Abramovich was succeeded as the head by Doctor of Medical Sciences Rashidbek Umakhanovich Umakhanov (1925-2003), who headed the department from 1984 to 1997. It was him who stood at the origins of Dagestan neurosurgery and devoted his whole life to it.

The joint department was headed by a student of  V. A. Lichtenstein, Doctor of Medical Sciences Tazhutdin Magomedovich Mugutdinov (1942-2019) from 1997 to 1999. He made a huge contribution to the professional development of practicing doctors.

After the allocation of the Department of Nervous Diseases of the Faculty of Postgraduate Education, the Department of Nervous Diseases, Medical Genetics and Neurosurgery   was headed by the Candidate of Medical Sciences Enver Javidovich Davletkhanov  in 1999 .

He was succeeded by the Candidate of Medical Sciences Magomed-Arip Magomedovich Magomedov (1936-2014) in 2000. Under his leadership, a large number of medical and advisory activities were carried out.

M. Voyngardt, K. A. Kunakov, U. G. Suleymanova, R. P. Bogoyavlenskaya, T. I. Mironova, A. E. Solomyansky, G. M. Gashimov, G. A. Aidiev, P. R. Tidulaeva, Z. N. Saidova, and I. D. Kaliyaev worked at the department in different years. Candidate of Medical Sciences Burliyat Abusuyevna Abusuyeva has been heading the Department since 2014.

EDUCATIONAL WORK

The department trains students of the 4th year of medical, pediatric, dental and preventive medicine faculties. In addition, there is annual training in residency and postgraduate programs.

The educational work is conducted in the form of clinical and practical classes and lectures. Problem cases and situational tasks are developed to control knowledge.

In addition, a database of test tasks has been developed for students of each faculty, which includes multi-level questions for all sections of the studied disciplines.

The discipline “Neurology, Medical Genetics, Neurosurgery” is implemented for students of the Faculty of Medicine,  , the study of which is conducted in the VII and VIII semesters and ends with an intermediate control in the form of an oral exam in the VIII semester.

For students of the Faculty of Pediatrics, the discipline “Neurology, Medical Genetics” is implemented, the study of which is conducted in the VII and VIII semesters and ends with an intermediate control in the form of an oral exam in the VIII semester.

For students of the Faculty of Dentistry, the discipline “Neurology” is implemented, the study of which is conducted in the VII semester and ends with an intermediate control in the form of an oral test in the VII semester.

In recent years, the staff of the department has published a number of teaching aids that are actively used in the educational process. The educational and methodological manual “The history of the neurological patient” became the winner of the V All-Russian Innovative public competition for the best textbook, textbook and monograph. Assistant of the Department K. B. Manysheva became a prize-winner of the All-Russian Competition of Young University Teachers held on the basis of  Moscow State University  named after Lomonosov in 2019.

STUDENT SCIENCE

The department has a student scientific circle, which is headed by assistant K. B. Manysheva. The members of the scientific circle demonstrated high results at the Third All-Russian Student Olympiad in Neurology (Kazan), where they received a special prize from the jury, the Fifth Eurasian International Olympiad in Neurology (Novosibirsk), where the team captain M. Omarova was recognized as the best player of the Olympiad, the IV, V and VI National Olympiads in Neurology “Future Neurologists of the XXI Century” (Moscow), the International Medical Tournament (Novosibirsk), the All-Russian Olympiad in Surgery named after M. I. Perelman (Moscow).

The members of the circle presented the results of their research in the framework of the All-Russian Youth Medical Conference with international participation “Almazov Readings” (St. Petersburg), the LXXIX scientific and practical conference ” Current Issues of experimental and Clinical Medicine “(St. Petersburg), the All-Russian Scientific Conference of Young Scientists and Students with international participation” Young Knowledge for the development of theoretical and Clinical Medicine “(Makhachkala), the All-Russian Youth Forum with international participation” Week of Science ” (Stavropol).
