Дружинин Дмитрий Сергеевич

Neuromuscular disease specialist.

16 years of work experience.

Habilitation degree in Medicine.

Graduated from Yaroslavl State Medical Academy with honors in 2005, completed internship training in neurology in 2006 and underwent further training in functional diagnostics in 2006.

From 2006 to 2016 worked as a neurologist and a doctor of functional diagnostics at the Department of Functional Diagnostics and the Neurology Department of NGHCI Railway Clinical Hospital at the station Yaroslavl of OAO Russian Railways, as well as at the Department of Neurologic Diseases, teaching the course on medical genetics and neurosurgery.

In 2010 passed Ph.D defence on the subject «Cerebrovascular disorders in patients with vertebral artery hypoplasia (clinical-sonographic evaluation)».

In 2007 and 2011 underwent practical training in Santa Maria Lissboa Hospital in Lisbon, Portugal.

Since 2013 has been focused on developing the methodology of ultrasound of peripheral nerves.

Studied at the International Medical University of Vienna under Professor G. Bodner.

Since 2015 has been studying nerve restructuring in patients with various forms of hereditary and dysimmune neuropathies under the supervision of Professor S.S. Nikitin.

In 2019 successfully defended his habilitational thesis on the subject "Clinical-instrumental characteristics of hereditary and dysimmune neuropathies with focal and generalized changes".

Actively participates in international and all-Russian conferences, author of 27 publications in domestic and international publications. The main area of interest is hereditary and acquired diseases of peripheral nerves.

WORK ON THE STUDY OF PERIPHERAL NERVE DISEASES

Clinical practice: seeing patients with rare peripheral nerve diseases, training specialists in the field of neuromuscular pathology.

His particular interest lies in managing patients with motor neuron disease and polyneuropathy of various forms, as well as consulting on managing such patients.

Diagnostics of rare diseases of peripheral nerves: neoplasms of peripheral nerves of different origin, the phenomenon of focal constriction of the peripheral nerve, neuromuscular choristoma, traumatic neuroma, neurovascular conflicts, brain and limb arteries diseases, etc.

Training neurologists to work with neuromuscular patients: training them to test the main muscle groups, to conduct diagnostics – EMG, ultrasound of peripheral nerves, as well as semiotics of diseases of the neuromuscular system.

Giving lectures at the Department of Nervous Diseases, a course in genetics and pediatric neurology.

The website offers educational materials (lectures, articles) on the main areas of neuromuscular pathology.

“Correct and timely diagnostics of nervous system diseases is not only the basis of effective therapy, but it also opens the way to a deeper understanding of the physiology and pathophysiology of the nervous system.”
