History of the department

Department of Nervous Diseases was organized by the Kazakh Institute of Medicine in 1934. It`s founder and leader was Professor Evsej Moiseevich Steblov (1934-1956 years). He began to work with one assistant and one analyst.

Since the founding of the department its scientific problem was neuroinfections in Kazakhstan: tick-borne encephalitis and malaria, neurobrucellosis, damage to the nervous system after the flu (supervised by E.M. Steblov and M.H.Farizov). The study of natural foci of tick-borne encephalitis in Kazakhstan, features of epidemiology, clinical meaning and outcomes of it have a definite value for practical public health of our republic. Clinical and epidemiological data from the department staff

( E.L.Falkova , M.S.Genina) were used in the preparation of guidelines for tick-borne encephalitis in Kazakhstan.

During the Great Patriotic War, members of the department (E.M.Steblov, R.G. Mandryko, ass. Falkova E.L.), continuing to train health education of the medical staff at the same time provide expert advice for base hospitals, placed in Alma-Ata. Farizov M.H. and assistant Professor K.V.Andreev were at the forefront, working in front-line hospitals. Plenty of military awards marked their achievements during the difficult years of the war.

In the future, with the expansion of the department Evsej Moiseevich created a team of experienced teachers, prepared the 5 candidates of medical sciences.

The successor of Professor E.M.Steblov was Professor Mukhametzhan Khakimovich Farizov (1957-1976). He was a skilled clinician, a veteran of World War II and a man of broad vision of scientific interest.

In the future, life brought ahead the problem of vascular diseases of the brain, and since 1960 this problem has taken a leading role in scientific work of the department (upervisor — M.H.Farizov ). Employees of the department at that time took part in the country’s theme, led by the Institute of Neurology Medical Sciences, studing the epidemiology of vascular diseases of the brain and genetic factors that could take part in the development and distribution of the stroke. Mukhametzhan Khakimovich was the initiator and organizer of the first in the Kazakh SSR neurovascular department for patients with acute cerebral stroke.

At the department worked scientists, which were well-known in our country and abroadб such as neuropathologist R.G. Mandryko, who chaired the department of nervous diseases of the Karaganda Medical Institute for 24 years ( 1951-1975 ). Associate Professor Z.M.Bryantseva for 5 years (1975-1980 ) chaired the department of nervous diseases of the State Institute of Advanced Medical in Alma-Ata. Velikanov I.I. – MD, senior researcher at the Institute of Balneology and Physiotherapy Pyatigorsk, Atchabarov B.A. – doctor of medical sciences, professor, corresponding member of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

A great contribution to the education of neurologists and neuroscientists in Kazakhstan made a Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor A.P.Kasatkina, which is about 10 years worked at the Department of Nervous Diseases ASMI and for 10 years (1965-1975) chaired the department of nervous diseases in Alma -Ata Institute of Postgraduate Medical.

Under the guidance of Professor M.H. Farizov were prepared 1 doctoral and 7 candidate theses. About 10 years M.H. Fariz headed the Scientific Council of the Ministry of Health of Kazakhstan. More than 15 years he was a member of the editorial board of the journal “Health of Kazakhstan.”

Since the late 1970s, the results of scientific research of the department were widely implemented in health care practice. At the time of diagnosis of stroke used methods such as serial angiography of the brain, the method of identifying the “hidden synkineses” using electromyography, Echo – encephalography. With the same purpose were introduced an original method of studying the physical condition of the contents of craniospinal cavity, developed at the Research Institute of the regional pathology under the supervision of a member – correspondent of the Academy of Sciences of the Kazakh SSR Professor B.A. Atchabarov. As one of the criteria for assessing dehydration therapy of stroke was used the method of impedance control. In the complex treatment of acute ischemic stroke were used methods of acupuncture and hyperbaric oxygenation.

Since 1980 widely were studied changes in the autonomic nervous system during the initial manifestations of cerebrovascular disease. The development of these issues was carried out on the basis of the agreement on cooperation with research institutes and regional pathology Cardiology Department of Health of the Kazakh SSR.

Since the end of 1980 employees of the department were actively working on problems of early diagnosis and treatment of disorders of cerebral circulation, the consequences of traumatic brain injury and diabetic encephalopathy.
