Effect of breathing training and DNS on lower esophageal sphincter and back pain in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease
Jandáková, Vladana ; Mádle, Kateřina (advisor) ; Babková, Lenka (referee)
This thesis focuses on lower esophageal sphincter and low back pain in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Common etiological factor of both GERD and low back pain frequently present in GERD patients is diaphragm dysfunction. Diaphragm fulfils respiratory, postural and sphincter functions, all these functions are interrelated which we benefit from in therapy. Theoretical section presents anatomy of the esophagus, upper and lower esophageal sphincters, diaphragm, follows etiology, diagnostic methods and treatment of GERD and LBP as well as common therapeutical approach by means of postural and respiratory physiotherapy. Basic principles of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization and Respiratory muscle training are presented and their use in the treatment of GERD and LBP. Practical section contains a case study of a patient diagnosed with GERD, kinesiological analysis, high resolution manometry of esophagus and therapy focused on diaphragm activation achieved by improving trunk stabilization and by optimising patient's breathing stereotype.

Evaluation of the functional activity of inspiratory muscles in patients with COPD
Konfrštová, Tereza ; Smolíková, Libuše (advisor) ; Babková, Lenka (referee)
The theoretical part of the thesis summarizes essential knowledge about COPD, inspiration function and its pathological changes in COPD patients. It also deals with appropriate ways to diagnose and measure the inspiratory activity. It further deals with the effect of the body position on the monitored respiratory functions, appropriate method of inspiratory muscle training as well as with utilization of an inspiratory device. It also deals with the relevance of patient adherence for COPD treatment. The aim of the practical part is to evaluate whether the functional activity of inspiratory muscles changes in different body positions (lying-sitting-standing). The measurements were performed using the Powerbreathe K5 device by assessing S-index, Pif and Volume levels in 21 COPD patients and 8 probands representing a control group. The obtained data were then statistically processed and analyzed. The initial hypothesis regarding a change in measured values in different body positions has not been proved to be statistically significant. The change in measured values relating to the change in the body position, however, did manifest in individual patients, testing of the appropriate body position should therefore not be omitted in assessing the appropriate IMT parameters. Keywords: COPD, inspirational...

Assessing inspiratory muscle strength in runners after 100-m and 3000-m running using POWERbreathe K5
Černá, Alžběta ; Smolíková, Libuše (advisor) ; Obešlo, Marek (referee)
Methodology: This study examined respiratory muscle strength in 25 runners using the POWERbreathe® K5 inspiratory muscle trainer before and after 100-m and 3000-m running. We watched the development of the resting values of SIndex and PIF and these values after the sprint (100 m) and running (3000 m, intensity of 70% of their HRmax). The probands were examined for resting spirometry and chest circuits (at maximum inspiration and expiration) in four levels. According to the respiratory amplitudes in the lower chest sector, the probands were divided into groups A (> 5.0 cm; n = 11) and B (<5.0 cm; n = 14). Results: After the 100-m sprint, the SIndex and PIF values have been increased for all probands. We noticed the difference between group A and B. A: SIndex increased by an average of 6,11%. PIF by 8,39 %, i.e. 0,35 l·s⁻¹. B: SIndex increased by an average of 9,33%. PIF by 11,82 %, i.e. 0,61 l·s⁻¹. After 3000-m running, the values of all probands have changed both in terms of increase (positive numbers) and decrease (negative numbers). The trend showed no regularity and the values ranged in positive and negative values independently of the respiratory amplitudes of the probands. The cause of these changes cannot be determined from the monitored parameters. The mean SIndex and PIF values of group A,...

Influence of the breathing muscles using POWERbreathe.
Čapková, Alena ; Šorfová, Monika (advisor) ; Strnad, Pavel (referee)
Title: Influence of the breathing muscles using POWERbreathe. Objective: The main object of this thesis is to determine, if it is possible to use 3D kinematic analysis to measure changes of trunk shapes during quiet breathing and breathing when using POWERbreathe and if it is possible to identify the changes. The thesis is divided to two parts. The first part contains theoretical part, focused on issue of kinesiology and biomechanics of breathing. The special part is concentrated on research, where I find changes of trunk kinematics during application of POWERbreathe. Method: Measurements were made on 6 probands in the same age category (women), when each measurement was performed during quiet breathing, maximum inhale/exhale, resistive breathing when using POWERbreathe and then another quiet breathing and maximum inhale/exhale. Quiet breathing was chosen as benchmark. The experimental measurements was done during one day. The research was used 3D kinematic motion analysis using system Qualysis. Were observed changes in the shape of the trunk and possibly caused breath changes during using POWERbreathe. Results: Measurements has confirmed, that the system Qualysis is able to detect mobility and the trunk shape changes. At a certain threshold load device POWERbreathe prevailed movements cranial...

Variabilita markeru TG5 a asociace k obsahu intramuskulárního tuku a marblingu u skotu
Grosová, Hana
The variability of the marker TG5 TG gene and its association with the intramuscular fat and marbling of meat in cattle was studied. Randomly selected population, composed of 237 individuals (bulls) of the Czech Pied cattle breed from four farms in the Czech Republic, waschosen for testing polymorphisms. Polymerase chain reaction was used to amplify a fragment of TG 545 bp in size. After amplification, the fragments digestion was performed using the restriction endonuclease BstYI. To verify the presence of the PCR product and to identify the sizes of digested frag-ments the horizontal agarose electrophoresis was performed. The population's absolute and relative frequencies of alleles and genotypes were calculated. The calculations reve-aled a high frequency of the T allele (25.98 %). In conclusion, statisticalanalysis was performed. As a result, the influence of C422T polymorphism in the 5'promoter region of the gene on the TG and on the IMT marblinghave not been proven, but on the contra-ry there was detected significant effect (p<0.05) of polymorphism content on the region of Lauric acid (C12:0). The results also reveal some evidence of polymorphism having influence on Timnodonic acid and meat pH.
