Influence of Foot reflexology in reducing swelling of lower limbs
SMOLOVÁ, Petra
This batchelor´s thesis deals with the issue of swelling of lower limbs in the view of foot reflexology. The treatment or reduction of this symptom must be solved comprehensively with a respect to the primary cause because it is only symptom, not illness. Formation of swelling can cause pathology of venous or lymphatic system, diseases of viscus or mechanism of injury. These causes can combine very often, therefore the diagnosis and resulting therapy is not always easy and explicit. This work shows possible mechanisms and causes of swelling and simultaneously indicates therapeutic methods useful in its therapy. This work focuses on the method of foot reflexology as a part of therapy of swelling. Foot reflexology is non-invasive, complementary holistic method which assumes existence of reflective spots on feet. During the therapy a teraphist treats reflective spots of specific viscus by the pressure of his/her fingers. It comes to affecting the entire body within the foot reflexology. The aim of this work was to chart if the foot reflexology can have an effect on reduction of swelling of lower extremities and suggest a consequential physiotherapy with using this method. For realisation of this aim was used qualitative research by processing of case reports. In the research were included three women with perimalleolar swelling of lower extremities with a duration at least for one year. These women were taken personal anamnesis, they also went through an input and output kinesiology examination completed with diagnostics of sensitive feet reflective. Sensitive reflective spots were clasified by a visaul analog pain scale. It is a scale from 0 to 10, the number 10 represents the gratest pain (sensitivity), which a patient has ever experienced. This scale helped with the classifiacation of sensitivity of reflective spots during the therapy. The degrees were registred into diagrams. During this therapy were also measured and registered circuits of swelling. The therapy proceed for five weeks. Patients´ feet were treated by the stimulation of particular reflective spots. Research question was to find if the foot reflexology can have an effect on reduction of swelling of lower extremity and whether can be seen any changes after its use. After five weeks of facilitation of particular reflective spots could be seen reduction of swelling in all cases. There was seen a remission of edema of the lower extremities for all patiens at least in one centimeter. The changes were exhibited particulary in the circuit of fetlock and heel. The response of this therapy was also increasing of volume and change of consistency of urine, patients sweated more, too. During a personal interivew all patients agreed on improving the overall well-being and on feeling of ´lighter legs´. It is important to say that the foot reflexology is only a complementary method, which can facilitate a treatment of some diseases. The research, showed in this work, affirmed its influence on treating of edema of the lower extremities. This work can be used by physiotherapists in clinical practice for mapping in problematics of swelling of lower extremities and for introducing method of foot reflexology as a complementary method in its treatment. Swelling of lower extremities can cause changed proprioception, reduction of mobility, deterioration of blood flow segment and reflective muscle attenuation. The knowledge of methods of treatment of this state is also important for physiotherapists in practice.

Tedy, aby se účastnil alespoň kazuistických porad terapeutického týmu. Smyslem je lepší poznání pacienta, jeho potíží a tím pádem...

The influence of fashionable reducing diets and the knowledge level of rational nutrition on the nourishment of students of Medical Secondary School and students of Medical-Social Faculty of South-Bohemian University.
SVOBODOVÁ, Michala
This diploma paper sums up basic information about the most popular lowering diets and about the aspect of healthy nutrition. The theoretical part of the paper focuses primarily of the best-known fashionable diets and their drawbacks. It describes the most widely known and most widespread types of these diets, including, for instance, a divided diet, Atkinson{\crq}s diet or diet according to a blood group. It is related to another chapter that deals with mental consequences that might be caused by such diets. The paper also lists briefly basic information not only about mental anorexia, mental bulimia but also about orthorexia, bigorexia and drunkorexia that are less known. The paper also describes the principles of healthy nutrition, together with nutrition pyramid, physical activities and drinking regime. The conclusion of the theoretical part briefly deals with the issues of obesity, which is a major problem nowadays. The practical part presents the results of my research. The research part was realized by using anonymous questionnaires for two groups of students at the Secondary Medical School and the Faculty of Health and Social Studies of the University of South Bohemia. These questionnaires focus on the average Body Mass Index (BMI) values in both groups and their subsequent comparison. The research shows that both of the studied groups have almost identical average BMI values. Overall results of the research show that the secondary school students{\crq} awareness of rational nutrition is very low as compared to the university students. I think it would be advisable to promote rational nutrition and the principles of healthy eating to a greater extent at secondary schools.

Čech, Martin ; Bunc, Václav (advisor) ; Strejcová, Barbora (referee)
Title: Obesity and overweight - possibilities of influencing by exercise in adult men Objective: Obesity and overweight are currently worldwide widespread disease, which have serious health, socioeconomic and psychological consequences. The main aim of this diploma thesis is to design, implement and verify appropriate exercise programs, whose purpose is the positive effect on individual components of body composition, aerobic capacity and overall quality of life of men, including their health. Methods: The main diagnostic methods used in the case study were: bioimpedance analysis, spiroergometry, WHOQOL questionnaire and a complete health assessment. Discussion and results: The results imply that unless in set case the established exercise program was followed, the significant positive changes in the indicators were observed. It has been shown that increase in volume of physical activity led to significant improvements in overall quality of life of men. As a main problem was failure to comply with established exercise program resulting primarily from workload of men. Key words: Obesity, overweight, disease, physical activity, physical activity program.

Problems of educational and psychological advice on the Department of Paediatric Haemato-Oncology, University Hospital Motol
Tůma, Daniel ; Pelikán, Jiří (advisor) ; Votavová, Milada (referee)
Cílem této práce není snaha o publikaci nových vědeckých poznatků, ale spíše odborné zkoumání specifického zaměření pedagogicko-psychologické práce s vážně nemocnými dětmi a jejich rodiči. Zamýšlím se nad prací s dětmi, které jejich nemoc ve svém důsledku může i ohrožovat na životě, a přináším pro takovou práci vhodné náměty. Oproti v dnešní době sílící tendenci vymezovat kompetence, určovat, kdo má a kdo nemá právo pedagogicko-psychologicky nebo jinak ve své podstatě terapeuticky působit, se domnívám, že pro potřeby praxe je mnohem užitečnější hovořit o otázkách konkrétních a zabývat se možnostmi odborné intervence, které slouží hlavně ku pomoci a prospěchu dětských pacientů a jejich rodičů. V práci se pokusím nastínit kompetence pedagogicko-psychologického poradce a celkové pojetí této odborné činnosti pro obecné potřeby dětského somatického oddělení, v konkrétní podobě pro potřeby Kliniky dětské hemato-onkologie (KDHO). Budu přemýšlet o jednotlivých aspektech práce poradce, o parciálních metodách a budu se také zaobírat přínosy poradenského procesu.V dílčích kapitolách budu vysvětlovat použití jednoho z možných způsobů práce, resp. modelu profesionálních způsobů práce pomáhajících profesí, jak je ve své knize definoval Úlehla, neboť se mi tento model v praxi dobře osvědčil, a domnívám se, že napomáhá...

Estimation of Genetic Parametrs in Selected Reproduction Traits of Sheep and Revision of Existing Evaluation of Animals
Schmidová, Jitka ; Vostrý, Luboš (advisor) ; Jan, Jan (referee)
The objective of this investigation was to select the proper model for genetic parameter estimation, to estimate genetic parameters, and to predict breeding values for litter size in most common sheep breeds in Czech Republic. A total of 143 896 lambing records from 1990 to 2012 were analysed. Variance components and genetic parameters for litter size were estimated separately for each breed using the BLUP animal model with repeatability. The basic model equation contained ewe age as a fixed effect and random effects of contemporary group, permanent environment and direct additive genetic effect of the animal. Modifications of the basic model were examined when various combinations of mating effects were included (contemporary group of ewes during mating (harem), additive genetic and permanent environmental effect of service ram). Estimates of phenotype variance increased across breeds (0.236 for Šumava to 0.779 for Romanov) with increasing breed average for number of lambs per litter. Variance component estimates for permanent environmental effect of the ewe were low (0.0001 to 0.0262). The variance of common environment of contemporary group (from 0.0223 to 0.1309) had bigger influence on the total variability of litter size in almost all studied breeds then additive genetic variance (from 0.0146 to 0.0587). The lowest heritability and repeatability estimates were for the Šumava (h2=0.0619; w2=0.0823) and Romney breeds (h2=0.0626; w2=0.0811); while the highest were for Merinolandschaf (h2=0.1091; w2 = 0.1129). The effect of service ram ranged from 0.01 to 0.02 of phenotypic variance in Šumava sheep, in Romanov sheep it was from 0.05 to 0.10, and in Suffolk sheep it was from 0.04 to 0.05. Including effects of mating (service sire, harem, and/or ram´s permanent environmental effect) in the model decreased deviance information criterion, what means that these models are more proper than the basic one. Results from present study demonstrate that genetic parameters did differ among the investigated breeds, which should be taken into account in breeding value estimation. The service rams have low but a clearly detectable influence on litter size of their mates. Genetic parameter estimates indicate that direct selection on the service ram effect could increase litter size and achieve genetic gain through ram selection.
