REFERENČNÉ CENTRUM PRE VETERINÁRNU NEUROLÓGIU

Volám sa Viktor Paluš a vykonávam veterinárnu prax od roku 2005. Najskôr som začal pracovať na Veterinárnej univerzite v Brne, na klinike chorôb psov a mačiek. Tu som strávil necelé dva roky a venoval som sa výlučne internej medicine.

Potom som odišiel do Anglicka kde som pracoval na veľkej veterinárnej klinike v Stroude. Tu som sa venoval hlavne zobrazovacím metódam, kardiológii, vnútorným chorobám, chirurgii a ortopédii.

Neskôr som si splnil svoj profesionálny sen a začal som sa špecializovať vo veterinárnej neurológii na prestížnom referenčom pracovisku Dick White Referrals v Newmarkete.

V roku 2012 som úspešne absolvoval špecializačné skúšky a stal som sa diplomovaným neurológom a európsky špecialistom vo veterinárnej neurológii. O rok neskôr ma kráľovská komora veterinárnych lekárov vyhlásila za RCVS špecialistu vo veterinárnej neurológii.

V Anglicku som potom pokračoval v práci ako veterinárny neurológ a stal som sa čestným docentom Nottinghamskej veterinárnej univerzity.

V roku 2014 som sa vrátil na Slovensko kde som sa stal spoluzakladateľom veterinárnej kliniky Elpa, z ktorej sa v roku 2017 odčlenilo referenčné centrum pre veterinárnu neurológiu NeuroVet.

NeuroVet je jediné veterinárne pracovisko, ktoré sa venuje kompletnej neurologickej diagnostike, liečbe a neurochirurgii malých zvierat na Slovensku.
Do NeuroVetu sú referovaní pacienti od veterinárnych lekárov z celého Slovenska, ktorých dôveru si vážim a úzko s nimi spolupracujem.

Významný úspech vo veterinárnej medicíne!

S hrdosťou oznamujeme, že dvaja uznávaní odborníci zo skupiny VetCare Group, MVDr. Ivo Hájek, PhD., CSAVP-N, a MVDr. Viktor Paluš, Diplomate ECVN, úspešne, v spolupráci, publikovali vedecký článok v prestížnom časopise „Frontiers in Veterinary Science“.

Článok s názvom „Focal heterotopic ossification in paravertebral muscles as a cause of neurogenic lameness in a dog“ predstavuje prvý zdokumentovaný prípad heterotopickej osifikácie, ktorá spôsobila kompresiu spinálneho nervu v krčnej oblasti u psa. Tento článok pridáva novú diferenciálnu diagnózu k príčinám neurogénneho krívania u psov.

Tento úspech je významným príspevkom pre celé veterinárne spoločenstvo a je dôkazom výnimočných odborných schopností a výskumnej práce našich veterinárnych lekárov.
