Physiotherapy application on scoliosis with emphasis on idiopathic scoliosis
TRAPLOVÁ, Kristýna
Scoliosis is defined as three-dimensional spinal deformity with vertebra deformation in the frontal, sagittal and transversal planes. The aetiology of this disease is unknown, uncertainty occurs in its diagnostics, prognosis as well as in treatment. The first, theoretical part is aimed at processing theoretical materials and their transparency. The practical part is aimed at evaluation of effectiveness of various physiotherapeutic procedures in scoliosis. In the theoretical part of this thesis I present information on anatomical structures affected by scoliosis. The work informs on various classification of scoliosis, it deals with diagnostics, examination and therapy. There are a number of procedures used for scoliosis diagnosis. Only those applied at the workplace where the research was performed are dealt with in detail. The qualitative research method was chosen for the practical part hereof. Two patients with idiopathic scoliosis regularly visiting the outpatient clinic of the Hospital České Budějovice Physiotherapeutic Department were chosen for the research. Both the patients were similar age and their therapy took a similar period. The research is aimed at idiopathic scoliosis examination and therapy monitoring. The results were processed in case-based form. The work evaluates effectiveness of various individual physiotherapeutic procedures and the research shows that application of multiple methods on one patient brings the best result. The results of the work may be used by physiotherapists or other medical staff in their practice, but may also serve as a source of information for patients and their parents.

The conventional imaging techniques in radiology with a view to the musculosceletar system (the educational program)
NEUMANN, Petr
This paper provides information on the role of an X-ray technician in conventional imaging techniques in musculoskeletal system affections. An X-ray technician is expected to provide imaging of the demanded part of human body at least on the level of diagnostic acceptability while all principles of radiation protection, ethic rules, and the rights of a patient are respected. The first part of the paper describes the formation and creation of an X-ray image, it provides a short history and describes the X-ray equipment needed to provide a quality imaging of musculoskeletal system. In the next part the description of imaging techniques is given in dependance on the demand of the indicating physician and also of the folowing medical treatment when, in many cases, the assistence of an X-ray technician is necessary. Better training and information of the the X-ray technician result in higher quality care for patients, in better communication between the personnel and the patients and it may also result in decrease of radiation charge of patients while a high quality of imaging is preserved. In the conlusion of the paper mistakes in imaging are shown that arose from poor communication between the physician and the X-ray technician, ignorance of the therapeutic procedure by the X-ray technician respectively. The false X-ray images are taken from a file of patients who were treated in the radiodiagnostic department of Oblastní nemocnice Kolín, a.s. in the period from 1st January 2007 to 30th June 2007. They were diagnosed with hip joint affection or affection of proximal part of femur.

Small bowel´s examination methods
NAGY, Markéta
Imaging methods play an essential role in the diagnostic algorithm by determining the disease character in any part of the human body. For the diagnostic small intestine diseases we use as classic X-ray methods as modern modalities. In introduce I mention history, morphology and physiology of small intestine. Than I describe summary about X-ray and non X-ray examination methods of small intestine (from basic methods to those special). Among basic examination methods of small intestine belong for example X-ray of abdomen, ultrasonography, passage throw small intestine and enteroclyse. Special examinations are CT enteroclyse, nuclear medicine examination, MR enteroclyse, angiography, enteroscopy and capsle endoscopy (CE). After compendium indications, contraindications, contrast agents and preparation patient for examination, in the finish of my work I worked up a collection of patient which were examined between the years 2002 {--} 2006 on our clinic {--} Institut of clinical and experimental medicine (IKEM), in Prague.

The thoracic and lumbar spine injury - role of imaging modalities in diagnostic and therapy
DOLEŽALOVÁ, Martina
This article provides information about thoracic and lumbar spine injury with reflection to the role of radiologic assistants. Spine injury belongs to the most serious injuries and its incidence is rising. These injuries are diagnosed using imaging methods like plain X-ray, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Radiologic assistant himself is the person, who is responsible for the correct examination. If these injuries are treated surgically, radiologic assistant meets them at operating theatres too. Here the assistant manipulates with fluoroscopy machines and helps the operator with procedure navigation. Important is that the radiologic assistant should know all the steps of each procedure and should take care of radiation protection. If the procedure is done inadequately, the patient can be misdiagnosed and the radiation dose for him and for the staff may be increased. Since 1st January 2006 to 31st December 2006, 84 patients (48 women, 36 men) were hospitalised at the Neurosurgery departement of University Hospital Hradec Králové under diagnosis of thoracic or lumbar spine fracture. The age, frequency of vertebral fractures in thoracic and lumbar region and percentual use of various therapeutic methods are noted. But the most important aim of the study are imaging methods used in these patients and mistakes done during these examinations.

Exploze drátku ve vodě
Prukner, Václav ; Koláček, Karel ; Schmidt, Jiří ; Frolov, Oleksandr ; Štraus, Jaroslav
The paper reports on the first experimental results of a new-built apparatus which is designed as soft X-ray source of coherent radiation with wavelength 14 nm. The radiation could be produced by the wire explosion in a liquid where the proximity of liquid wall can stabilize plasma similarly as proximity of solid wall stabilizes a Z-pinch in a capillary. The first part of this paper describes construction of the new device. In the second part are published first experimental data of wire explosion tests of the device which means time dependences of charging voltage and current.

Čtyř-segmentová vakuová XUV fotodioda
Schmidt, Jiří ; Koláček, Karel ; Frolov, Oleksandr ; Prukner, Václav ; Štraus, Jaroslav
A soft X-ray/XUV diode (XRD) is a powerful diagnostic tool for system alignment, among others, in capillary discharge experiments, which generate directional soft x-ray radiation, eventually a laser pulse. In our experimental devices (CAPEX and CAPEX-U) we usually used PIN diode or vacuum photodiode (one-segment). These diagnostics are not very suitable, mainly because many shots (more than 50) are necessary to find the optical axis. During last year we have designed and manufactured a four-segment soft X-ray vacuum diode with a golden photocathode, which detects the soft X-ray radiation emitted in the axial direction. This new diagnostic tool is capable to locate the axis of soft X-ray laser in a few capillary shots (less than 10). The description and the experimental measurement of the four-segment soft X-ray vacuum diode are a subject of this paper.

Metal Nanoclusters in Zeolite Nanocages: Synthesis and Characterization by X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy
Bastl, Zdeněk ; Spirovová, Ilona
Rhodium and palladium nanoparticles were prepared in zeolites X and Y from ion exchanged metal ammine complexes by thermal decomposition of the complexes. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was employed to characterize individual steps of decomposition and growth of metal nanoparticles. Substantial reduction of Pd-tetraammine complex in zeolites by X-ray irradiation leading to inward diffusion of Pd and production of highly dispersed metal has been observed. Autoreduction by heating up to 400 oC resulted in significant decrease of Rh surface concentration and less pronounced decrease of Pd surface concentration. The Pd metal autoreduction occured readily in Y zeolite yielding small nanoclusters of Pd. The shifts of the core level binding energy of metal 3d electrons observed for thermally reduced metals in zeolites were consistent with presence of highly dispersed Rh metal and/or Rh+ and indicated interaction of Pd nanoparticles with zeolite matrix.
