Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis and Physical Activity
Hanková, Kristýna ; Hronzová, Marie (advisor) ; Hájková, Jana (referee)
Bachelor thesis discusses the issue of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). It deals specifically with principles, selection and application of appropriate physical activities that are a significant part of the overall treatment of patients affected by JIA. The theoretical part focuses on basic terms and the summarization of findings about JIA; it further deals with causing factors, clinical manifestation, diagnosis and treatment options. The purpose and importance of physical therapy is described is the special part. For each stage of the disease appropriate set of exercises and principles of movements for individual human body joints are presented, with more options of physical activities suitable for a complex physical treatment. The practical part then presents a case study of an individual with juvenile idiopathic arthritis who has undergone a kinesiological examination which was a basis for creating a short-term and a long-term exercise plan.
HLA complex and association with autoimmune diseases
Karasová, Alexandra ; Slavčev, Antonij (advisor) ; Šírová, Milada (referee)
Autoimmune diseases are serious and sometimes life-threatening disorders that affect approximately 5 % of the world population and therefore represent a major socio-medical problem. The HLA complex is the best studied part of the human genome that encodes the HLA antigens, whose function is to present peptides to immune system (T-lymphocytes). During the study of the HLA complex it has been found that certain HLA antigens are strongly associated with the occurence of autoimmune diseases, despite the great progress in clarifying disease etiopathogenesis the mechanism of these associations is, however, not fully explained. Sometimes the association of autoimmune disease with the HLA complex is very strong, such as in ankylosing spondylitis or celiac disease, while in other diseases the association is relatively weak, suggesting a role of other genetic and / or environmental factors. The aim of this work is to briefly explain the structure and function of the HLA complex and its association with some severe autoimmune diseases.
