Klímová, Michaela ; Demeková, Júlia (advisor) ; Babková, Lenka (referee)
Dupuytren' s contracture is a disease that is characterized by its slowly developing of flecture contractures of the fingers and is conditioned by pathological changes of the palmar aponeurosis. The bachelor's thesis "Possibilities of conservative and surgical approaches for Dupuytren's contracture" deals with the overall issue of Dupuytren's contracture. The thesis includes knowledge about anatomy of palmodigital aponeurosis, clinical picture, etiology, epidemiology, diagnostics, conservative and surgical treatment a nd points to a crucial influence of physiotherapy as an integral part of the treatment. A significant part of the thesis is focused on physiotherapeutic methods which are most frequently used for subsequent treatment of the disease. In the conclusion of the thesis, there is a brief description of physical therapy and occupational therapy. The thesis is supplemented with two case reports of patients with Dupuytren's contracture, treated with 2 different forms of treatment.

New options for cervical cancer prevention
Adámková, Jana ; Kulhavá, Miluše (advisor) ; Fanta, Michael (referee)
This paper examines new ways of preventing cervical cancer. It adopts theoretical as well as empirical approach and is accordingly divided into two sections. The theoretical section provides a brief introduction to the anatomy and physiology of the uterus (Chapter 1.1) and then focuses on the disease itself (Chapter 1.2). The first three subchapters consider the disease incidence, the risk factors and the symptoms. The diagnostics are discussed in the fourth subchapter, which also provides a detailed description of Pap smear testing. Available treatments, currently consisting mainly of a surgical intervention, are examined in the subchapter on therapy. Lastly, the paper discusses ways of preventing cervical cancer, such as preventive gynecological exams and newly introduced vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV); Silgard and Cervavix vaccines are examined in detail. The empirical section evaluates a questionnaire-based survey performed in a private gynecological practice. The aim of the survey was to map the awareness of cervical cancer preventive measures, especially the vaccine option, amongst different age groups of women and establish whether they are having their preventive gynecological tests done.

Šolcová, Monika ; Zounková, Irena (advisor) ; Horáček, Ondřej (referee)
Obstetrical palsy of upper limb results from a perinatal lesion of brachial plexus nervous bunch. The incidence of this disease ranges from 0.42 to 5.1 / 1,000 live births. If the palsy isn't diagnosed early and treated adequately, child will be threatened by major consequences later. This work provides the reader with the current view on the surgical treatment of patients with brachial plexus birth palsy. It gives a comprehensive overview on early neurosurgical intervention and secondary orthopaedic reconstruction. It submits opinions on indicating criteria. It describes the main charakteristic and results of operations. It refers to the fact that the choice of a surgical procedure can be essential in therapy. The aim of this work is also to characterize the fundamental aspects of postoperative physiotherapy, which simultaneously goes along with the process of intervention therapy. The practical part of this work includes a case of a patient after a neurosurgical performance.

Cost Analysis of Treatment of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms in the Olomouc Hospital
Radmacher, Erich ; Lešetický, Ondřej (advisor) ; Střítecký, Rudolf (referee)
The aneurysma of abdominal aorta is a pathological amplification of the diameter of this artery. It is a serious illness which affects 2 -- 6 % men and 1 -- 2 % women over 60. In the case of a rupture there is the mortality of 80 -- 90 %. If the aneurysma is diagnosed in time it is necessary to solve this state with an adequate treatment. The surgical treatment consists in substitution of the afflected part with a vessel replacement. Thanks to the development of medicinal technologies the aorta aneurysma is more and more often treated by the help of stentgrapth by which the afflicted part of the aorta is set aside from the circulation. The theoretical (the first) part of this work deals with the issues of the aneurysma of abdominal aorta, and it also describes the methods of its treatment. Then the work describes costs analyses used in the medical service. The practical part of the work is dedicated to the cost analysis of the treatment by means of a cost minimalization method. The work processes data of a group of patients being treated during a certain period of time in the Olomouc University Hospital in the Department of Vessel Surgery and in the Department of Interventional Radiology. The aim of this work is to evaluate and compare objectively the costs of abdominal aorta aneurysma treatment by individual methods, and to compare the results with foreign studies.

Postoperative treatment in case mammary reconstruction operation for female after ablation.
BOUŘILOVÁ, Hana
Abstract A woman{\crq}s breast represents one of the most important attribute of women beauty. This is why any congenitally conditioned anomaly is usually perceived very sorely. The impact an ablative operation has on a woman is thus more than obvious. Breast loss or deformation for treatment purposes affects a woman in two spheres. With the fear of further treatment procedures, health condition development and further fate most women are scared of how a loss of such a dominant femininity symbol will change their lives. The effort to have a new breast created is often as important as the exactly performed primary operation for an affected woman. It actually relates to recovery of self-reliance and self-confidence in social life of such a woman. A reconstruction operation to create a new breast belongs to very complicated and painful operations. The subsequent post operation period is difficult for the patient and the postoperative regime is strict. The nursing care is long and intensive and it is limiting and burdening for a patient. Nevertheless a woman takes courage to undergo all that and bear all the difficulties linked to the intervention patiently. However such a physical but particularly mental change it brings is worth it. The aim of the thesis was to find out how a woman approaching the operation perceives the nursing care. The next aim was to find how the nursing care affects a patient after such an operation. Six women hospitalized at two different surgery wards were invited to participate in the research. Four patients, one of which was taken to the surgical ward and the three others to the casualty and plastic surgery ward, agreed with the interview. A research question focused on the nursing care perceived from the viewpoint of a patient revealed that patients mainly concentrated on the surgery intervention itself and its success, while the nursing care acts were perceived as a burden and they even became bothering during the time. Another research question was focused on finding how nursing care might affect the course of hospitalization. With regard to the conditions the patients were taken to the nursing personnel was perceived very positively by the patients. Their approach and behaviour helped the patient stand the distress of the postoperative regime and they finally felt satisfied with the hospitalization course. Upon the discovered facts this thesis should clarify the issues of hospitalization to nurses, so as they are able to get a better insight into the patients{\crq} feelings and their perception of nursing care. To be able to focus their care more efficiently and provide it with the knowledge that helps them care about a patient in the demanding conditions from the somatic point of view but also be supportive in the mental sphere. To focus more intensely on communication in the early postoperative period and on helpful approach, which is very important for a patient, as a nurse has possibility to influence a patient positively to a large extent. With regard to the facts discovered we may form a hypothesis that improper environment has negative influence on a patient{\crq}s psyche. The other hypothesis may be a statement that suitable communication may influence patient{\crq}s welfare during hospitalization positively.
