Physiotherapy options for patients with dg. Morbus Bechtěrev
TRLIDOVÁ, Eva
This bachelor's thesis deals with Morbus Bechterew's disease, which is also known as ankylosing spondylitis, and how to use specific physiotherapeutic procedures. The thesis consists of a theoretic and practical part. The theoretical part describes anatomic structures and kinesiology of an axial system. Furthermore, it is devoted to characteristics of Bechterew's disease, its classification, occurrence, diagnostics, clinical picture, treatment and how to utilize physiotherapy. The practical part contains a case report of the particular patients with Morbus Bechterew's diagnosis and also a process of physiotherapy. The aim of this thesis was to chart the possibilities how to utilize physiotherapy of patients with Morbus Bechterew's diagnosis and to compile specific physiotherapeutic plans leading to a decreased progress of this disease. The above-mentioned aims were accomplished by a quality research that was attended by three participants. The data collection was primarily achieved by a kinesiological analysis and interviews with patients and secondarily by an analysis of extracted data. This bachelor's thesis can be used as a study material for students, medics or public in order to improve the knowledge of an impact of use of physiotherapy of patients with Morbus Bechterew's diagnosis and also to improve an awareness about education of the patients about the possibilities of their treatment.

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.
