Condition of Patients with the Diagnosis of Spina Bifida Cystika with Myelomeningocele and Subsequent Rehabilitation Intervention
Gajdová, Magda ; Dylevský, Ivan (advisor) ; Kučera, Miroslav (referee)
Name of the diploma thesis: Condition of patients with the diagnosis of spina bifida cystica with myelomeningocele and subsequent rehabilitation intervention Goal of the work: Spina bifida (cleft spine) is a congenital defect resulting from failure of fusion of embryologie halves of vertebral arches. Spina bifida belongs to the group of congenital abnormalities ofthe central nervous system, which manifest themselves through neural tissue anomalies and bony changes of the spine. Since there is not a single Czech publication dedicated to the diagnosis of spina bifida, the first goal of this diploma thesis was to thoroughly describe the diagnosis of spina bifida, with special emphasis on cystical spina bifida, and to introduce opinions of the Czech and mainly intemational experts on this issue. In the second part ofthis diploma thesis, based on a case study ofthree patients with the diagnosis of congenital spina bifida cystica with myelomeningocele, the goal was to compare the historically, as well as currently applied rehabilitation treatment of these patients and to confirm that the rehabilitation procedures differed, depending on the height ofthe lesion and the availability ofqualified rehabilitation care. Solution method: To process the gathered information about spina bifida from specialized...

Effects of rehabilitation methods on the course of knee osteoarthritis
Novák, Dalibor ; Barna, Miloš (advisor) ; Kučera, Miroslav (referee)
Knee osteoarthritis is the most often form of the progressive degenerative injury called osteoarthritis, which signifies the most widely extended knuckle disability all over the world. And so it turns into a serious healthy and social-economic problem. Besides the symptomatic treatment of pain, the effort of contemporary therapy is to affect those processes, which lead to osteoarthritis morphological progression. The medical treatment should be carried out preferably at total range and with rehabilitation as its integral part. This report sums up many till now published knowledge above knee osteoarthritis itself and above its treatment processes, primarily in case of use some rehabilitation methods, and offers some information above evaluation effect of therapeutical processes for course of this disorder.

Luminescence spectroscopy of impurities in fast oxide scintillators
Kučerková, Romana ; Kučera, Miroslav (advisor) ; Mareš, Jiří A. (referee)
In the present work we studied the dependence on concentration gallium ion in single crystal LGAG: Pr a LuAG: Pr, prepared by ,,micro-pulling down,, method (-PD) at Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan. -PD method allows growing a single crystal using small amount of row material, typically less than 1 g, in time period of one day because of very high growth speed up to 20mm/min. Scintillation materials are necessary for a number of applications (e.g. medicine), in which high spatial resolution is required. The aim of this work was to measure luminescence and scintillation characteristics of the Pr3+ doped -PD grown Lu3Al5O12 single crystal host. The absorption, photo- and radioluminescence spectra and both photoluminescence and scintillation decay curves were measured. The photoluminescence decay curves was single-exponetial characterized by a lifetime around 17ns. Slow components were present in the scintillation decay curves. This is a consequence of retrapping of the charge carriers on electron traps connected with the anti-site defects, which are generally present in Czochralski od -PD grown aluminium garnets. On the other hand, they are completely supressed in the liquid-phase-epitaxy grown single crystalline films due to lower growth temperature. Excitation spectra of the 5d-4f luminescence completely...

Magnetic resonance imaging of the respiratory and postural function of the diaphragm
Rychnovský, Tomáš ; Kučera, Miroslav (advisor) ; Smolíková, Libuše (referee) ; Novák, Daniel (referee)
Objective: The goal of the thesis was to objectify changes of the diaphragm motion and shape in a different tasks using dynamic MRI in volunteers with pathological structural finding of the spine and the control group. Methods: Two groups of volunteers were made, those without pathological finding (n=16) and with structural pathological finding of the spine (n=17). We analyzed diaphragm function in three different tasks in all the volunteers during 1) primary breathing, 2) breathing in the course of lower extremities flexion against resistance and 3) holding the breath in the course of lower extremities flexion against resistance. Diaphragm activity was analyzed using static a dynamic parameters. For the first time ever was used postural and respiratory trace, which were separated from dynamic MRI recording. The thesis analyses frequency and amplitude of the respiratory and postural activity (independent on breathing) and their relationship. Furthermore the thesis evaluates breathe in and breathe out rotation, diaphragm excursion magnitude, inclination of the diaphragm, its height in thorax and also diaphragm motion within its different portion. Results: Diaphragm respiratory and postural changes are slower, bigger in size and better balanced in volunteers group without pathological spinal finding....

Optical and magneto-optical properties of magnetic oxides
Brom, Pavel ; Šimša, Jaromír (referee) ; Kučera, Miroslav (advisor)
In the present experimental work we study Faraday rotation (FR) and magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectra of thin films of a) RF sputtered copper ferrites stabilized by the post-deposition heat treatment in two different crystallographic structures (tetragonal and cubic), b) bismuth and galium substitued iron garnets prepared by the liquid phase epitaxy method. With iron garnets we have measured FR and MCD spectra at room temperatures in the visible and infrared (IR) region, where we have observed diamagnetic-shape profile and high values of FR in the visible region. With copper ferites the magneto-optical methods in the IR region at low temperatures have enabled to study fine splittings of the paramagnetic transitions of the tetrahedral Cu2+ ions. We have developed algorithms for as much as possible automatization of measurements of FR and MCD spectra using a rotating polarizer or a rotating quarter-wave-plate method.

Anterior talofibulare ligament and its influence on the stability of the ankle
Kalvasová, Eva ; Pavlů, Dagmar (advisor) ; Dylevský, Ivan (referee) ; Kučera, Miroslav (referee)
Autor's first name and surname: Mgr. Eva Kalvasová Title of the doctoral thesis: Anterior talofibulare ligament and its influence on the stability of the ankle. Workplace: Institute of fyziotherapy FTVS UK Supervisor: doc. PaedDr. Dagmar Pavlů, CSc. The yaer of the presentation: 2009A sprained ankle is the most common injuryMost frenkvently spr ABSTRACT: Introduction: The anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) lesion is the most frequent injury of the ankle joint. The ATFL protective function is changed during gait and is influenced by the incorrect foot position as well. Objective: The objective is to describe the influence of ATFL on the ankle stability during gait and standing. The polemic discuss the optimal therapeutic treatment of the lateral ankle ligaments injury and the ankle instability. Methods: Thematic analysis Results: The foot segments position and the position of crus affects the function of ATFL. The ligament function is impaired by incorrect position of foot segments. In consequence the ligament cannot protect the ankle joint and the ankle joint instability and potential injury can occur. The optimal therapeutic treatment for ankle instability requires global approach to activate all components participating on postural stability. Conclusion: The ATFL protective function is impaired by...
