HLA complex and association with autoimmune diseases
Karasová, Alexandra ; Slavčev, Antonij (advisor) ; Šírová, Milada (referee)
Autoimmune diseases are serious and sometimes life-threatening disorders that affect approximately 5 % of the world population and therefore represent a major socio-medical problem. The HLA complex is the best studied part of the human genome that encodes the HLA antigens, whose function is to present peptides to immune system (T-lymphocytes). During the study of the HLA complex it has been found that certain HLA antigens are strongly associated with the occurence of autoimmune diseases, despite the great progress in clarifying disease etiopathogenesis the mechanism of these associations is, however, not fully explained. Sometimes the association of autoimmune disease with the HLA complex is very strong, such as in ankylosing spondylitis or celiac disease, while in other diseases the association is relatively weak, suggesting a role of other genetic and / or environmental factors. The aim of this work is to briefly explain the structure and function of the HLA complex and its association with some severe autoimmune diseases.

The possibilities of using ointments containing industrial hemp to treat skin diseases
KALISTOVÁ, Romana
Medicinal hemp can influence symptoms of many diseases. It seldom causes total recovery; however the refilling of a healing effect of hemp can reduce occurring of some diseases and prevent many others. The key to successful hemp usage as a medicine is in systematic using and also in frequency of administration. The following diseases were chosen because hemp was already used there and also was proved its effectiveness towards symptomatic relief. In the first part of my baccalaureate thesis is introduced a historical and scientific survey of hemp and its usability for medical purposes. In the practical part of my work is mentioned a qualitative research dealing with its potential influence. The aim of my work is to propose already mentioned facts in a form which is available to the general public as well as contributing other interested persons to further exploring.

Possibilities of physiotherapy methods of psoriatic arthritis
DROBNÁ, Martina
This bachelor thesis deals with the problems of psoriatic arthritis, which has chronic evolution among most cases and can lead to articular deformities in patients. This disease has an unclear pathogenesis conditioned by genetic, external and immunologic factors. It affects above all patients with type I psoriasis with emerging symptoms such as swellings with articular pains, morning stiffness and overall fatigue. PsA often shows positive antigen HLA B27, without presence of rheumatoid nodules and negative rheumatoid factor (Štolfa, 2012). PsA causes both physical handicap in patients and substantial disturbance of their social and psychical life. The thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part briefly outlines the anatomy of skin as well as structure and function of joints. Onward it describes psoriasis, its forms and methods of treatment. The next chapter explains the term arthritis and presents RA as an example. It is followed by detailed description of PsA, definition of the disease, its causes and occurrence, clinical picture and some therapy possibilities. In the practical part, the method of qualitative research was used, with participation of three female patients suffering from PsA. Therapy was initiated by input kinesiologic analysis, including specific examinations such as goniometric examinations of joints, grasp examinations, muscle palpation examinations and others. Patient appointments were held regularly each week for a period of eight-week therapy. On each appointment, previously applied therapy was consulted, exercises were repeated, possibly uncertainties were clarified. Each therapy lasted about 45 minutes, during which hypertonic muscles along with trigger points were relaxed according to specific patient issues. In the last session, output kinesiologic analysis was done and patients were informed about the importance of adhering to regimen measures. The results of the research clearly show overall posture improvement in all patients. A very substantial indicator of therapy success is noticeable reduction of swellings and pain, and hand function improvement. The therapy also focused on adjustment of faulty breathing stereotype manifesting itself with upper type, thereby causing overexertion of cervical spine muscles and frequent headaches. Strong emphasis was also put on activation of the transverse arch, which was collapsed in all patients. This bachelor thesis can be used in clinical practice of physiotherapists or as an educational material for patients.

Nurses Suffering from Psoriasis
ONDRÁČKOVÁ, Andrea
Psoriasis is a non-infectious inflammation with the genetic disposition. It is a chronic inflammatory disease connected with the accelerated reproduction of skin cells whose cause has not been recognized yet. According to various sources it afflicts 2-3% of the Central European population in different forms including the most serious cases which can affect with the intensive inflammation the entire skin surface. There are several types of psoriasis and they differ with the intensity and the symptoms. The disease shows a red marked area covered with silver white scales of dead cells. Psoriasis does not belong to cases which endanger our life but it enormously influences the physical, psychic and social aspects of the life. The content of the Bachelor work is focused on the issue of psoriasis at general nurses who work in this medical profession. The work is divided into two parts ? theoretical and practical. The theoretical part contains available information on psoriasis from history, disease characteristics, nurse´s role during the nursing process and selected types of treatment. Further, it involves summary of nurses diagnoses of people suffering from psoriasis and the issues of life quality which is undoubtedly affected a lot. In the research ? empiric part of the work the inquiry was carried out with the qualitative method. Data were collected by using the technique of an anonymous, individual, in-depth and non-standardized interview with respondents ? general nurses suffering with psoriasis. The aim of the work was to find out how psoriasis influences the nurses´ professional life. The research questions dealt with the general information about the nurse as a patient, with work limitations, stigmatisation from patients and the staff and with the influence of the medical environment on worsening psoriasis symptoms. The research showed that psoriasis does not influence quality nursing care and that this disease influences the private life more than the professional one. The results of the research compile an information leaflet from which patients can find out, that they do not have to be afraid of nurses suffering from psoriasis and that their disease does not affect their nursing care. Another contribution of the work lies in a printed article which enables the general public to get the information.

Nursing Specificity at Patients with Diagnosis "psoriasis vulgaris"
SLÁMOVÁ, Eliška
Nursing Specificity at Patients with Diagnosis psoriasis vulgaris The aim of my thesis was to explore the nursing specificity at patients with diagnosis psoriasis vulgaris. I tried to find out the real impact of nursing care on the psychic state of these patients and their close family members; in addition to this my research was concentrated on the role of a nurse in the nursing process. My intention was to discover whether a nurse can influence on psychic problems of psoriatic patients. I used qualitative methods of research, i.e. nonstandardized talks in combination with subsequent case study. The topic of talks to patients and nurses reflected everyday life of psoriatic patients and nursing problems concerning their treatment. Patients and nurses were chosen at random with respect to voluntary participation of both. The intention was applied in the chosen illness {--} psoriasis vulgaris. The research has proved the existence of the specific field in the nursing process at psoriatic patients {--} systematic and long-term care about the overall psychic condition of these patients. Psychic (im)balance of psoriatic patients is usually transfered to their relatives. My research has resulted in the serious finding that contemporary nursing is ignoring the care about psoriatic patients´ psychic problems. This fact of missing psychic care was confirmed at all stages of this incurable illness. Despite of this fact the main role in taking care about patients´ psychic state should be realized by nurses. Patients should be much better educated; nurses should regularly carry out prevention and treatment of psychic traumas occuring so often during patients´ coexistence with psoriasis. To sum up my thesis, I would like to add some extra comments: results of the research are so current and urgent so that to be published in the professional journals. Postgraduate education of nurses should be completed with these findings and management of health service facilities should be also immediately informed about present missing care concerning psychic condition. Noursing care will have to be reorganized and improved as soon as possible. In this way the quality of psoriatic patients´ and their relatives´ life could be much better than any time before

Psoriasis as a stigma
SLÁDKOVÁ, Tereza
For elaborating my thesis I have chosen the topic: {\clqq}Psoriasis like stigma``. Taking into consideration that at present the public is interested in a number of diseases I would like more attention is paid to this stigmatized affection. I hold my interest in focusing my thesis on the stigmatization, because I know from clients with psoriasis that they really feel quite a number of problems in certain areas. My thesis is focused on two wholes, namely on theoretical and empirical parts. The first part of the theoretical part deals with problems of psoriasis, its forms, initiating mechanisms, manifestations and methods of treatment of this disease. The second part of the theoretical part deals with stigma, explanation of the concept stigma, what is the attitude of the society towards psoriatics, what is their position in their families, in work etc. In the empirical part my goal was to find out, whether the people with psoriasis are stigmatized and in which areas of life the psoriatics perceive their disease like stigma, whether they feel restricted in partnerships, working relationships and leisure time activities. Within a quantitative survey the data collection technique was applied {--} a questionnaire. The questionnaire was intended for the clients with psoriasis enlisted especially through the direct contact from the server www.lupenka.cz, further relatives, acquaintances and clients of Hospital České Budějovice. Overall 94 questionnaires were distributed. The questionnaire consisted of 34 questions concerning hypotheses. The clients with psoriasis introduced they feel restricted the most within the leisure time activities. In the empirical part I was gratified that the general nurses and physician have a great credit of psoriatics{\crq} awareness of their disease and help them to cope with the disease. I see the greatest problem in lack of information on psoriasis of the public. This disclosure leads to take a think of an improvement of the public awareness of this disease. As a proposal of this problem solution I propound to inform the public more so that the people get to know more information on psoriasis not only from physicians and nurses, but also from patients themselves being afflicted with the disease. The survey results can further serve as grounds for further study of the problems.

Quality of life of a person with psoriasis
MARKOVÁ, Iva
Psoriasis is not an illness just of these days. 3-7% of world population suffers from this illness. This diploma work focuses on quality of life of ill people. We guess that it influences such a client in a holistic way. This illness interferes into personal, professional and social life. So psoriasis is not just an illness but also an everyday problem or handicap for those who get ill.Two questionnaires were made for this research, where first of those is focused on quality of life by a standard questionnaire and the second one was created on the base of analysis of D. Johnson model. Those questionnaires were given out to ill in South and Central Counties of Bohemia. The respondents were to chose, after their completing, which one is more sensitive to problems implying from this illness. The results are graphically shown and then paid attention in chapter Discussion.Finally I would like to say, those hypotheses were acknowledged. Psoriasis influences life in a holistic way, a nurse can have a significant influence on well-being of a client with this illness in area of her nursing interventions and D. Johnson model is an effective tool for providing those ill with psoriasis with care.
