Justinová, Jana ; Weiss, Petr (advisor) ; Popov, Petr (referee) ; Zvěřina, Jaroslav (referee)
Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to map the sexuality of regular methamphetamine and buprenorphin users, which up to now remains little explored. We would also like to find out whether there is a difference between the two, and more over to compare our findings with some characteristics of a same-age sample of Czech population. Methods: The research is of quantitative nature. The data were collected using an original anonymous questionnaire, which was separately answered by 267 respondents. 115 men and 51 women were methamphetamine users, while 68 men and 33 women were users of buprenorphine. The data were processed by SPSS. Results: 52 % of men and 66 % of women are satisfied with their sexual life. Some kind of change as a result of drug abuse noticed 73 % of all respondents. According to the type of substance, the groups differ in type of change. Women using buprenorphine have some need of sexual satisfaction more frequently than those using methamphetamine. During their drug career, 57 % of men and 66 % of women suffered from some kind of sexual problems. 61 % of women have some experience with lesbian sex and 40% account themselves bisexuals. 48 % of men have at some time paid for sex to a prostitute. Sex for money or drugs have changed 20 % of men and 38 % of women. The prevalence of sexual abuse...

Urinary incontinence and sexuality during pregnancy and after delivery
Záhumenský, Josef ; Zvěřina, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Kužel, David (referee) ; Weiss, Petr (referee)
Results and conclusion. We found the statistically significant increase in the occurrence of urinary incontinence during pregnancy. We found no significant relation between prevalence of urinary incontinence during pregnancy and either BMI before pregnancy or weight gain during pregnancy. All females of age 36 and more suffered from urinary incontinence during the third trimester. There is a decrease in frequency of sexual intercourses, a decrease in female orgasm sensation and a decrease in satisfaction with the sexual life during pregnancy. Frequency of sexual dysfunctions increases: dyspareunia, insufficient lubrication and hypogastrium pain. Females with significant dyspareunia before pregnancy have higher risk of extensive injury to the vaginal wall during labour. 10% of women do not have full comfort of life due to birth injury six months after the labour. 24% of women start with sexual life less than six weeks after the first labour; 7% of women have no sexual intercourse six months after the delivery. 38% of females declare that the sexual life six months after the delivery is still not as highquality as prior to pregnancy. In the comparison of the way of labour (Caesarean section vs. vaginal delivery) we found no difference in frequency of sexual intercourses six months after the labour, in orgasm...

Soukupová, Tereza ; Weiss, Petr (advisor) ; Šípek, Jiří (referee) ; Zvěřina, Jaroslav (referee)
This dissertation thesis addresses the use of Rorschach Inkblot Method in the psychological assessment of paraphilias. In the theoretical part of the thesis we summarize the findings about paraphilias, describe Exner's Comprehensive System for coding the Rorschach and present published research works with the Rorschach in the filed of sexual deviance. The empirical part contains the description of our reseach project. We looked for rorschach variables that would differ between pedophiles and rapists in the group of 78 men diagnosed with paraphilia. We have found statistically significant differences between the groups of pedophiles and rapists in several variables. These variables are in both groups related to the cluster Selfperception and Interpersonal perception, in the group of rapists also to the cluster Processing and in the group of pedophiles to the cluster Controls. We have also found statistically significant differences between normative data and our research sample almost in all selected variables.

Validity of primary motor area localization with fMRI versus electric cortical stimulation: A comparative study.
Bartoš, Robert ; Petrovický, Pavel (advisor) ; Zvěřina, Jaroslav (referee) ; Tintěra, Jaroslav (referee)
During my postgraduate studies, I have been working on the problems of surgery on eloquently located intrinsic brain tumors in a wider context. Towards the end of my research work, the technically challenging insular glioma surgery became the main topic. ln general, the radicality of the resection is an acceptable favourable prognostic factor even in low grade gliomas. However, for a safe resection to be possible, a mere knowledge of anatomy is not sufficient. In cases, where a suspicion of an eloquent tumor location arises, careful consideration should be made regarding the the position and the relationship of the functional cortex to the tumor. This consideration can be aided by the use of functional magnetic resonance results. ln our study, functional magnetic resonance was reliable in 83% of patients operated on a tumor in the central motor area (15/18). The distances between the fMRI activated cluster and the ECS targets were within the range of 5mm (error inherent for target-Iocalizing accuracy of neuronavigation system) in 20/26 of our measurements. The spread of the BOLD activation volume is significantly lower during more restrictive corrected thresholding P<0.05c. In all patients with this fMRI threshold, the concordance with the ECS result was absolute. If the volume of the gained corrected fMRI...

Personal characteristics and sexuality of women before and after labioplasty
Müllerová, Jana ; Weiss, Petr (advisor) ; Pastor, Zlatko (referee) ; Zvěřina, Jaroslav (referee)
Thesis title: Personality characteristics and sexuality of women before and after labiaplasty Thesis objectives: Determine the personality and sexology characteristics of women requesting labiaplasty plastic surgery, including examination of the risk of physical dysmorphic disorder in these women before and after they undergo the procedure. The main objective of the thesis is to determine the basic personality characteristics of female applicants, conduct screening for physical dysmorphic disorder, determine the characteristics of their sexual behaviour, identify potential differences in comparison with the general population and further examine whether labiaplasty itself leads to changes in their psychological characteristics, or possibly to improvement of their sexual experience or changes in their sexual behaviour. Thesis methodology: The research was carried out by a quantitative method of questioning, in the form of a questionnaire survey through standardised questionnaires arranged in a test battery. Personality characteristics were examined with the NEO-FFI personality clinical questionnaire, while a questionnaire relating to concerns about physical dysmorphic disorder, known abroad as DCQ, and a specially designed questionnaire for women requesting labiaplasty, known abroad as COPS-L, were...

Sexual dysfunction amongst czech women
Hollá, Kateřina ; Weiss, Petr (advisor) ; Zvěřina, Jaroslav (referee) ; Uzel, Radim (referee)
Theoretical part Currently accepted new conceptualization of women's sexual dysfunction is based on the model found in the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-IV) and International Classification of Diseases (ICD). These classifications are extended and combined interpersonal, contextual, personalpsychological and biological factors. Recent DSM- IV definitions have focused on absence of sexual fantasies and sexual desireprior to sexual activity and arousal, even though the frequencyof this type of desire is known to vary greatly among women without sexual complaints. DSM-IV definitions also focus on genital swelling and lubrication, entities known to correlate poorly with subjective sexual arousal and pleasure. The structure of the new classification is based on the four categories of DSM-IV: disorders of desire, arousal, orgasm and pain. However these categories are newly assigned to the subjective dimension of satisfaction, stress and the presence of disorders during other sexual activities besides intercourse. The dimension lifetime vs. acquired, generalized vs. situational were added, as well as the etiology is taking into account. For clinical work it is important that these changes highlight the significance and importance of psychological, situational...
