Use of ABA therapy in children with PAS in the Czech Republic
SLOBODA, Tereza
This bachelor´s thesis deals with the subject of using ABA therapy for children diagnosed with autistic spectrum disorder. I am interested in this type of therapy. ABA is a scientific methodology in which concrete therapeutic methods are used within interventions therefore I use the ABA therapy connection in my work. Bacherlor´s thesis is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. Theoretical part focuses on autistic spectrum disorders, aetiology, most affected areas, introducing ABA and common methods and current legislation, possibility of ABA studies in the Czech Republic. Practical part deals with a case study of a boy from birth to seven years. After his autism diagnosis he has begun ABA therapy and today he is attending the only special elementary and nursery school using the ABA methods. Although opinions on ABA differ I would like to show how the ABA strategies can be used in special schools. This method could be useful for children who are resistant to other forms of therapy. The potentiality of ABA method could improve living standards of the client and his surroundings because autism has enormous impact on social and family ties. The aim of the thesis is to show the progress in ABA therapy and the possibility of using ABA therapy as one of the methods of educating children with ASD or combined disorders and to develop their skills and abilities in spite of their handicap.

Opichalová, Klára ; Valouchová, Petra (advisor) ; Michalčinová, Klaudia (referee)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the problematics of the iliotibial band syndrome. The iliotibial band syndrome is one of the most common knee injuries in runners, but we can also come across cyclists or triathletes with this injury. The thesis divides into two parts. The existing data and information about the matter are presented in the theoretical part. Anatomy and function of the iliotibial band, aetiology of the syndrome and its development, the mechanism of the overuse and then final diagnostics and treatment are described. In the practical part is presented a case study of an amateur cyclist with the iliotibial band syndrome, which constitutes an initial examination, treatment and autotherapy plan and subsequent final examination. After 10 therapy sessions, the patient did not notice any changes in his condition, but he gave a lower pain rating than at the beginning and the range of active and passive movement on the affected leg was increased.

Life with pulmonary hypertension observed in the IKEM, Prague
KLOPOTOVÁ, Michaela
This undergraduate work deals with the issue of pulmonary hypertension monitored in clients at the Institute of Clinical and Experimental Medicine (IKEM) in Prague. The theoretical portion deals with the comprehensive issue of pulmonary hypertension {--} its aetiology, pathogenesis, pathophysiology, epidemiology, classification, clinical picture, examination methods, therapy and prognosis. It also covers its health and social aspect, which is further divided into its health and social impact. The health and social aspect is divided into health and illness, health support, prevention and quality of life. The health impact focuses on nutrition, physical activity, natural medications, colds and depression. The social aspect explores the social effects on health, illness and social benefits for clients with pulmonary hypertension. The practical portion of this work presents the results from a quantitative questionnaire carried out with clients monitored at IKEM Prague between 1 July 2008 and 28 February 2009. The purpose of the questionnaire was to establish whether patients with pulmonary hypertension often suffer from depression, whether the illness affects their health and social status and whether clients have sufficient information about pulmonary hypertension. The results show that the objectives were fulfilled. It has been proved that clients with pulmonary hypertension suffer from depression, their health and social status is also affected by the illness and most of them have sufficient information about pulmonary hypertension. This work can serve as a well-arranged source of information for different cardiology departments that deal with pulmonary hypertension. I am sure that the clients themselves would like to see the results of this work, let alone the Association of Pulmonary Hypertension Patients. This association follows not only specialized literature, but also the quality of life of and benefits for people with pulmonary hypertension.
