Růžičková, Julie ; Ježková, Martina (advisor) ; Demeková, Júlia (referee)
Bronchial asthma incidence constitutes a compelling health and socioeconomical problem. Patients of all ages suffer from asthma, and no methods of effective prevention or healing are currently available. Poorly controlled asthma causes increase of financial expenditure as well as remarkable restriction of activities of daily living; it might even lead to death. In Czech republic, the number of patients with asthma is estimated at 500 000. The aim of this study is to evaluate effects of yoga exercise as a potential effective adjunct treatment on bronchial asthma state in adults. Theoretic part of the thesis describes pathological changes present in respiratory system, breathing pattern disorders and postural functions characteristic for patients suffering asthma disease. It also represents a brief summary of up to date findings of possible mechanisms on which are Spiral yoga and pranayama based, especially on these which can have an influence on obstructive lung disorders. Experimental part deals with the methodology and it reveals the process of making randomized clinical pilot study. Between 11 adult participants were investigated at the start and at the end of a three-month- long therapy. Investigation included pulmonary function tests, thoracic perimeter measurement, spine mobility...

Definition of new referential values of maximum inspiratory and expiratory pressures and P0.1 values in normal population of the 16 - to - 17 age range
Kálalová, Tereza ; Šulc, Jan (advisor) ; Koudelková, Alena (referee)
The purpose of this thesis is to define norms for inspiratory (Pimax) and expiratory (Pemax) pressures and mouth occlusion pressure (P0.1) in healthy white population of the 16-17 age group in the Czech Republic, specifically the capital city of Prague and its close vicinity. Furthermore, this work aspires to ascertain whether there is a correlation between the respiratory pressures, P0.1 and selected anthropometric and pulmonary values. In order to define the norms, 79 children were tested, including 41 boys and 38 girls 16 to 17 years old. After establishing the subjects' case histories, anthropometric, spirometric inspiratory, expiratory and forced vital capacity measurements were made. The study defined the norms of respiratory pressures and P0.1 in 16 to 17-year-old boys and girls, thus achieving its main goal. Furthermore, a difference was found between the average measured Pimax and Pemax values for boys and girls, with the boys showing higher values comparing with the girls. The study did not ascertain a correlation between respiratory pressures, P0.1 and selected anthropometric values (age, height, weight, BMI, BSA). No correlation was found between respiratory pressures and static pulmonary volumes. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Diaphragm in the role of external esophageal sphincter - spirometric - manometric study
Veličková, Barbora ; Bitnar, Petr (advisor) ; Šnajdauf, Martin (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to present a complex information about the etiology, diagnosis and treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and to further elucidate the function of the diaphragm as the external esophageal sphincter and as a part of the antireflux barrier in patients with GERD. The study included 87 patients with verified GERD. Patients were subjected to a set of postural and respiratory maneuvers - caudal position of chest, abdominal breathing and measuring of the maximal respiratory pressures, all performed on the basis of tolerance to position and maneuver. The high-resolution manometry (HRM) was chosen to record the changes in pressure in the lower esophageal sphincter and for the measurement of respiratory pressures was used the spirometric system MasterScope. It was found that postural and respiratory maneuvers, that activate the diaphragm, increase the pressure in the EGJ. The most significant increase occurred during the maximal inspiratory maneuver, which increased LES pressure up to 261.2 %. The results also show that patients with GERD have reduced the strength of respiratory muscles, especially inspirational muscles. Reaching only 66.5 % of predicted PImax. We have demonstrated that patients with GERD have significantly lower diaphragm muscle strength, what...

Title: Physiotherapy as part of multidisciplinary care for patients following a lung transplant operation Objective: To evaluate the mobility of patients in the first days after lung transplantation. To compare the quality of life according to Karnofsky index and Jones dyspnea index. To relate spirometric values FVC and FEV1 of patients in the period prior to lung transplantation with the values in the first year after lung transplantation. Check the link between the development of quality of life and development of spirometric values. Methods: It is a pilot study, which was attended by 18 probands (13 men and 5 women), aged between 14 and 68 years. The data were collected on regular intervals using questionnaires on quality of life (Karnofsky index and Jones dyspnea index) and spirometric examinations taking place at the Motol University Hospital. The data were statistically analyzed using MS EXCEL, mostly using correlations and pair T - test. Results: Results showed substantial changes in the level of significance of p <0,01 both in the development of the quality of life, and in the development of spirometric values compared during the first year after lung transplantation with values before the transpantion. Another important result was the negative effect of a prolonged stay at intensive care...

Müllerová, Jana ; Hronzová, Marie (advisor) ; Kuhnová, Věra (referee)
This The Bachelor's Thesis deals with the impact of asthma on selected functional parameters among/in patients suffering from this disease. The theoretical part contains the description and classification of asthma, environmental influences, physical activity and medicaments of athletes suffering from this disease. It focuses on those suffering from asthma and the impact of asthma on physical activity. It conveys also basic information about asthma and its symptoms, the influence of the environment on asthma, the impact of physical activity and the appropriateness (suitability) or inappropriateness (unsuitability) of certain sports for asthmatic people. The practical part focuses on asthma symptoms during or immediately after physical load. This work detects whether all asthmatics suffer from after stress loading bronchospasm. It also shows if asthma is associated with any type of allergy and it observes the regularity of the usage of antiasmathic drugs and the practice of sport and it is affects on their health. This Bachelor's Thesis analyzes the impact of physical load on the respiratory system of people suffering from asthma and it tries to prove asthma after physical load in people suffering from this disease.

Biomechanical chracteristics of nonstationary respiration as possible identificator of tiredeness under hypokinetic loading
Lopotová, Martina ; Šorfová, Monika (advisor) ; Eck, Vladimír (referee) ; Smrčka, Pavel (referee)
The general topic of this work is to reveal the potential relationship between tiredness cause by hypokinetic monotonous loading and breathing. The aim was to determine if there are suitable respiratory parameters that would indicate this tirednes and, if so, then verify their validity for predicting the tiredness phenomena accompanying huge range of everyday human activities. The performed experiment was attended by five volunteers who absolved measurements of electrical activity of brain, of breathing and of chest volume changes. The course of the experiment and the behaviour of probands were recorded by a camera. In the first part of each maesuremnt, a specified monotonous task (Task Tracking) was performed. The probands have had to follow the target moving with pseudocasual direction and speed by the cursor on the monitor. This task currently reflected the level of reliability and quality of the performed aktivity. In the second part of measurement, the probands had just to relax and watch a movie. Both parts were measured in two conditions - alert and tired (after 24 hours of sleep deprivation) proband. The data were compared with each other and evaluated. The measurements and the results showed that the rate of the tiredness can be fairly reliably assessed by monitoring of the volume...

Spirometric Parameters of Students Depending on Their Physical Activity
Nedbalová, Jana ; Ehler, Edvard (advisor) ; Přívratský, Vladimír (referee)
The present work aims to answer questions regarding lung function among students of two types of grammar schools and describe selected indicators of differences between different groups of students within a reference population. The starting point for this work was speculation that the obligations defined by seconadary education in the ordinary type of school may significantly affect the students of the same age group and same Framework educational program for intensive regime of movement, breathing function. Is it possible that the secondary school educational program could affect the degree of respiratory function of students, for example by having less time and not having time for regular exercise? Are students of common type of grammar school physically less active than their peers from sports-oriented type of school? What are lung volumes of today's teens and how much do they differ from the current standards? The selection of respondents was elected from the students of sport-oriented grammar school and the common type of secondary school students. A total of 196 students participated in the study. Students were measured by spirometry lung capacity and function through painstaking cast in relation to strenuous breath. I have found that ordinary secondary school students have a positive...
