Small fiber neuropathy in peripheral and autonomic nervous system in patients with diabetes
Potočková, Veronika ; Mazanec, Radim (advisor) ; Voháňka, Stanislav (referee) ; Kunc, Pavel (referee)
Small fiber neuropathy in peripheral and autonomic nervous system in patients with diabetes Abstract This dissertation thesis wants to draw attention to the relevance of early detection of small nerve fibers damage in the somatic and autonomic nervous systems in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T1DM, T2DM). Only early diagnosis can prevent the severe complications that progressive forms of diabetic neuropathy (DN) bring. The main objectives of this work were to evaluate the possibility of using thermal quantitative sensory testing (TQST) to identify patients with diabetes at higher risk of cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) and distal symmetric polyneuropathy (DSPN) with predominant small nerve fibers impairment. Other aims were to assess the impact of CAN on the development of carotid atherosclerosis and to determine the prevalence and risk factors for depression and anxiety in diabetic patients with and without DN. The results show that TQST can be used as a screening tool to identify patients with a higher risk of CAN. We demonstrated a significant effect of CAN presence on carotid intima-media thickness in patients with T1DM, independently of known risk factors of atherosclerosis. Such a finding suggests that CAN may play a role in the pathogenesis of carotid atherosclerosis. Another...

The effect of physical activity on human psyche and cognitive functions
Štětka, Martin ; Hora, Martin (advisor) ; Novák, Jan (referee)
In modern society, absence of physical activity is often related not only to physical problems (e.g. the development of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, etc.) but also to mental problems (e.g. depression, anxiety and mood changes) and cognitive problems (e.g. learning, memory and motor problems), which are associated with the development of neurodegenerative diseases. Physical activity appears to be an effective regulator of proper brain ageing and may serve as a preventive measure against the development of many diseases. Individuals who actively engage in physical activity show a slower rate of brain atrophy in advanced age. In addition to regulating proper aging, physical activity can act as a supportive therapeutic tool in the treatment of various psychological problems. This bachelor thesis also discusses neurogenesis, neurodegeneration, evolutionary perspective, types of individual movements, change in mental status after induction of physical activity and development of cognitive abilities of individuals. Keywords: neurogenesis, neurodegeneration, aerobic exercise, anaerobic exercise, depression, anxiety, learning, memory

The Group Metacognitive Training for Adolescents with Anxiety
Migasová, Natalie ; Rynešová, Tereza (referee)
The rigorous thesis is focused on the translation, creation and subsequent use of metacognitive training (MCT) in adolescents with anxiety in group therapy. The theoretical part deals with adolescence, anxiety and with description of metacognitive training. It is supplemented by a rich representation of current research about the mental health of adolescents and the effectiveness of metacognitive therapy applied in various mental disorders. According to existing trainings, the program created by us is divided into 8 modules, with a fixed structure, held once a week. Each module focuses on a specific topic that concerns anxiety, and worksheets for each module are also used for training. Using a quasi-experiment, we measured the current level of anxiety in the pretest and posttest using standardized method STAI, and the overall self-concept measured with PHCSCS-2. We found subjective feeling of anxiety, depression, a tendency to self-harm and difficulty attending school. A total of 7 participants participated in the experimental group and 8 participants were in the control group. Five parents filled in the pretest and posttest feedback. The results of the research show a greater reduction in anxiety and an increase in self-concept in the experimental group compared to the control group. There was no...
