Influence of thyreoideal functional disorder to parameters of muscle mass and density of bone minerals
Pouzarová, Kateřina ; Bartůňková, Staša (advisor) ; Vránová, Jana (referee)
Title: The effects of thyroid gland functional disorders upon muscular mass parameters and bone mineral density (BMD). Purpose: The purpose of the research has been to monitor alterations in muscular strength, in muscular and adipose tissue parameters established by densitometry, bone mineral density, and blood parameters of thyroidal functions from thyroid gland functional disorder diagnosis to expected full functional compensation upon completion of 12- month monitoring. Method: The examined set consisted of two groups of female patients treated during the period of 2005-2007 in the outpatient endocrinology ward of DC MEDISCAN-Euromedic for thyroid dysfunction. The major research method has been densitometry (establishing the parameters of density of bones and soft tissues by bone densitometer), and a measurement ofmuscular strength using a device. Results: Our research has confirmed that the compensation of thyroid gland hyperfunction is associated \\-ith a relatively rapid increase in body weight in the female patients. In female patients with thyreotoxicosis, effective treatment is associated with a significant increase in muscular strength. In female patients with thyroid gland hypofunction, no significant alterations in weight and muscular strength have been reported in the course of the...

Molecular mechanisms of formation and development of colonies of wild Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains
Šťovíček, Vratislav ; Palková, Zdena (advisor) ; Hašek, Jiří (referee) ; Heidingsfeld, Olga (referee)
Yeasts are capable of forming a wide range of multicellular communities, which enable the survival in harmful and changing environment. Surface associated biofilms, often connected with infections in human body, and colonies can serve as an example of such populations. This work investigates formation and development of complex structured colonies of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which can be considered as a distinctive feature of yeast strains isolated from the wild. Architecture and properties of such colonies are fundamentally different from the spatially undifferentiated colonies of most of laboratory strains and resemble in many ways rather natural biofilms of pathogenic yeasts. Yeast populations use specific developmental processes induced by communication mechanisms to synchronize the early stages of their development. Formation of specific three-dimensional colony architecture is enabled by the presence of extracellular matrix and adhesive protein Flo11p which provide stability and integrity of the whole structure. Protection of the colonies is accomplished by spatially differentiated cell subpopulations using various mechanisms such as expression of efflux pumps capable of removing toxic substances or production of extracellular matrix functioning also as selectively permeable barrier. Phenotypic...

Body schema in patients with vestibular syndrome
Kindlmannová, Tereza ; Černý, Rudolf (referee) ; Truc, Michal (advisor)
The aim of the master thesis "Body schema in patients with vestibular syndrome" is focused of perception of body schema in patiens with phobic postrural vertigo and patiens with periferal vestibular lesion. In a first part is summarised knowledges about equilibrium control, clinical forms of vestibular syndrome and body orientation in external world. In the next part is described body schema and internal representation of body. The main part of work follows the examination of the somatognostic function with emphasis on relationship between vestibular and somatosensory aference in patiens and healthy subjects. The end shows conclusions of awareness of body schema in patiens and healthy subjects. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Musculoskeletal System Dysfunction in Patients in Long-Term Remission of Wilms Nephroblastoma
Šafářová, Marcela ; Kolář, Pavel (advisor) ; Véle, František (referee) ; Eckschlager, Tomáš (referee)
Musculoskeletal System Dysfunction in Patients in Long-Term Remission of Wilms Nephroblastoma Objective: The objective of this retrospective clinical study was to describe the multidisciplinary program of childhood cancer survivors in their young adult age in an adult-based ambulatory medical setting and to report the latent sequelae of the pathology. The hypothesis is that the treatment with all three modalities (chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery) causes the development of the latent effects in varying degrees. The goal of this study was to investigate the typical musculoskeletal system changes of survivors of Wilms Nephroblastoma who had previously received their basic treatment more than 5 years ago. Design: 151 subjects underwent clinical assessment of body posture, postural tests and evaluation on BalanceMaster® force plate. These tests were conducted in conjunction with other clinical evaluations, namely, pulmonary and renal function tests, immunology deficiency and exercise capacity to seek its relationship to the diseases' risk factors. The correlation between postural findings and the above clinical tests were investigated. Subjects: Ambulatory patients with a primary diagnosis of nephroblastoma who have undergone treatment greater than 5 years ago. Settings: Clinics at the University...

Vilímková, Andrea ; Malá, Jitka (advisor) ; Jelen, Karel (referee)
Název práce: Vliv dysfunkce krční páteře následkem whiplash poranění I. a II. stupně dle klasifikace QTF on WAD na stabilizaci vzpřímeného stoje Title of work: The Impact of Cervical Spine Dysfunction on the Stabilization of the Upright Posture after Whiplash Injury QTF - WAD I. and II. Cíl práce: Hlavním cílem této diplomové práce je objektivizace subjektivního pocitu posturální nejistoty v prostoru u pacientů po whiplash poranění. Tato práce má prokázat možný vliv poranění měkkých tkání v oblasti krční páteře typu whiplash na balanční kontrolu pacienta. Metodologie: Diplomová práce má charakter tzv. "pilotního experimentu", v němž byla po dobu tří měsíců sledována pacientka po whiplash poranění II. stupně dle klasifikace QTF on WAD s pocitem posturální nejistoty v prostoru. K subjektivnímu posouzení stavu pacientky byly použity dotazníky hodnotící bolest následkem poranění (Krátká forma dotazníku bolesti McGillovy univerzity, Vizuální analogové škály bolesti). Stav pacientky byl kontrolován pomocí klinického vyšetření hodnotícího stav pohybového aparátu se zaměřením na krční region a neurologického vyšetření hodnotícího funkci struktur, které se podílejí na balanční kontrole organismu. Informace z vyšetření byly doplněny údaji zjištěnými pomocí tenzometrické desky Kistler. Pro měření byl stanoven...

Acute Injury of Flexor Appliance From Second to Fifth Fingers of Hand
Znášiková, Pavla ; Dylevský, Ivan (advisor) ; Pavlů, Dagmar (referee)
Thesis title: Acute injury offlexor appliance from second to fifth fingers ofband Diagnosing the problem: Hand injuries represent 1/3 and 112 ofall work injuries. Most ofthe injuries are to the tendon in the palms and from the muscles flexor digitorum profundus and flexor digitorum superficialis. Anatomically the hand is quite complicated. In this small area there are many structures such as bones, tendons, muscles, veins and nerves. Their compatibility makes the band function. Bach trauma can have a very serious effect. Aims/Goals: The human band is one ofthe most complicated parts ofthe body and is also one ofthe most important. Quality oflife is seriously affected by its malfunction. After a tendon injury, surgery and good aftercare are necessary for the hand to function correctly. The aim ofthis thesis is to present a comprehensive view ofhand injuries and the different opportunities ofaftercare rehabilitation in the zones 1 and 2. Also to evaluate the effectiveness ofthe rehabilitation protocols on patients 1, 2 and 3. Analysis/solutions: My conclusions were drawn from a step by step critical analysis of the treatment schedules from injury through to rehabilitation ofpatients 1, 2 and 3, as well as a modified version ofTAM (total active motion). Some ofthe information within this thesis was...
