Works and awards In his pioneering works, Haškovec brought the Czech neurology and endocrinology to a high level. He contributed to the description of numerous neurological diseases, some of which bear his name. In 1904, he was the first who observed and described common side effects that are now known to occur during treatment with neuroleptics (some decades before their discovery.) The name of akathisia is still used in various forms (acathisis, akathsie, akathisia) worldwide. He was also interested in anthropology, physical therapy, prevention of neuroses, mental hygiene and child neurology. In 1904, he founded the journal Revue v neurologii a psychiatrii (Revue in Neurology and Psychiatry), which he edited until 1936 (its successor is the journal Czech neurology and psychiatry). He maintained relations with foreign countries, especially with French neurologists and Slovak doctors. Additionally, he has participated in many international medical congresses. He was a member of numerous Czech and foreign medical associations and societies. During his lifetime, he was awarded several orders and decorations. His 1928 publication Lékařské vysvědčení před sňatkem is a "discussion of laws and proposed laws regarding medical certification before marriage in Czechoslovakia." A number of his publications are as follows:
