Bahenská, Eva ; Bunc, Václav (advisor) ; Hráský, Pavel (referee)
Name: The Effect of Facilitating Kinesio Taping of lower scapula fixators on pain threshold of trigger points in the m. trapezius pars descendens Objectives: This study is a pilot study. The goal of this study is to determine effects of Facilitating Kinesio Taping of lower scapula fixators on painfulness of trigger points in the m. trapezius pars descendens. Methods: The study took place in a private medical office with thirteen patients. All of these patients were physically examined using standard tests of physiotherapy. Patients were measured using a pressure algometer to assess trigger points as painful. They reported the intensity of pain on VAS. The places of measurement were trigger points one and two in the muscle according Travell and Simons. Data were analyzed using the statistical program SPSS 15.0 and Microsoft Office Excel. Results: This study had three hypotheses. In the case of the first hypothesis, I concluded that KT has an effect on the pain threshold and its application will reduce the pain threshold in m.trapezius pars descendens. Statistical significance was the value of p = 0.03 and p = 0.011, the value of material significance (101.31 kPa and 106.7 kPa) confirmed my theory that after KT will increase the pressure of 100 kPa in the TrP1 and TrP2. In the second hypothesis, it...

Search for the meaning of suffering in the life and work of Blessed John Paul II.
Spišák, Róbert ; Ryšková, Mireia (referee) ; Ventura, Václav (referee)
Search for the meaning of suffering in the life and work of bl. John Paul II. During his long pontificate, John Paul II. commented on many current problems, but he perceived the matter of suffering in the most sensitive way. He boldly criticized all that is threatening to a man or brings pain. On the other hand, he strongly emphasized, that life in suffering is meaningful. What brought him to this conclusion? Which life events aided him in this search? How did he develop on his personal spiritual way, where he found meaning in suffering and thus became an authentic teacher in this area? The answers are proposed in this thesis, which is divided into three chapters: From a childhood to a priesthood; From the Priest Ordination to the Roman Pontificate; The Pontificate - the Pope "speaking" and "silent". The author advances chronologically and applies hagiographic-personalistic approach, which takes into account particular life events of a man and takes interest in his spiritual growth. Already in his childhood and an early manhood, Karol Wojtyla was greatly tried by suffering. This is shown in quite a detail in the first chapter. First it is death of his mother and then unexpected death of his brother Edmund. In both cases the most significant issue for Wojtyla is his father's attitude, who is seeking...

Behaviour towards the dying
Puková, Hana ; Lorman, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Sládek, Karel (referee)
Dead is a part of our human life. Even in the old days human was asking questions about himself: "Who am I? Where do I come from? Where do I go?" And last but not least understood his mortality. Dying is a part of life. It is a period for a human, when everything finishes. When is he really dead though? Is it really the moment when his heart beat and blood circulation stops and he stops breathing? Or is he dead for the others in the moment of his hard illness? A view of a patient trying to add Christian view, ie the possibility of seeking hope in a desperate situation that exceeds our life and dead. The aim of the thesis is to point out an adequate behaviour to a dying human being.

The phenomenon of suspension in body modification context
Šánová, Eva ; Abu Ghosh, Yasar (advisor) ; Heřmanský, Martin (referee)
The topic of this diploma thesis is body modification culture phenomenon called 'suspension'. It is a voluntary act of suspending a human body from hooks or piercings that have been temporarily pierced through the skin. Suspension is an age-old technique practiced for example by North American Indian Mandan tribe. It has been brought to the modern era and body modification culture by modern primitives. The part of the thesis is a placement of suspension to the broader sociocultural and historical context, there will be also space for development of concept of body, embodiment and pain in the western word and ritual aspect of suspension. The source for this work is mainly accessible literature, internet pages dedicated to body modifications and participant observation completed with interviews with people who had been suspended.

Use of adrenergic receptor alpha2-agonists in pain treatment
Soláriková, Ivana ; Vaculín, Šimon (advisor) ; Maršáková, Lenka (referee)
α2-adrenergic receptor agonists are adjuvant analgesics involved in the modulation and treatment of pain acting in the noradrenergic system. Binding of α2 agonists to receptors initiates a cascade of actions leading i.a. to antinociception. The most clinically applied analgesics of this type include clonidine, dexmedetomidine, and xylazine used in veterinary medicine. The ability to potentiate the effects of opioid and nonopioid analgesics and anesthetics leading to dose reduction is especially advantageous as it relieves unpleasant side effects associated with opioid use, and reduces the risk of tolerance development. They are effective in local anesthesia due to the peripheral site of action and do not cause characteristic, centrally mediated side effects of hemodynamic character. They are involved in the suppression of inflammatory response in the body by inhibiting the production of proinflammatory cytokines. Despite the wide range of action, α2 agonists appear to be safe in many different contraindications, such as sepsis, diabetes or pregnancy. Keywords: α2-adrenergic receptors, agonists, pain, analgesia, clonidine, dexmedetomidine, potentiation, adjuvant

Thermally gated TRP channels in nociceptive neurones
Chvojka, Štěpán ; Vlachová, Viktorie (advisor) ; Mrózková, Petra (referee)
Transduction ion channels are gated in response to a variety of external stimuli and this process is critical for the proper functioning of sensory neurons. These specialized proteins enable the survival of any organism, which depends on having adequate information about the external environment. The thermosensitive TRP (transient receptor potential) ion channels, whose molecular structure has been identified during last decades, enable the transduction of thermal stimuli in primary nociceptive neurons. During the last decade, molecular biological techniques have provided new tools for studying the structure of these specialized transduction ion channels in relation to their function and to understand more deeply their physiological roles. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to give an overview of recent evidence regarding the functional and physiological properties of sensory-neuron specific mammalian TRP ion channels that are activated by thermal stimuli: heat and cold.
