Somatovisceral and viscerosomatic relations
SŮSOVÁ, Kristýna
The aim of this work is to correctly define and approach the issue of somatovisceral and viscerosomatic relations, to describe the most common vertebrovisceral, but also viscerovisceral relations and the most common projections of internal organs into the musculoskeletal system. The work draws attention to the neglect of these known facts in differential diagnosis, which often leads to a diagnostic error and the patient is sent to rehabilitation, even though he primarily suffers from an internal organ disease. On the side of the physiotherapist, errors might occur in the setting of therapy, which in certain circumstances may harm the patient. Or the opposite situation may occur, where the patient suspects an internal disease, but despite all the examinations, no pathology is found. Especially if there is a problem in the musculoskeletal system, it is possible to relieve the patient with a suitably chosen therapy. Frequent visceral patterns are described from various sources, and much of the knowledge is drawn from medical publications, especially in the field of internal medicine and neurology. Most sources are from the last five to ten years, so the information is up to date. The last chapter is devoted to visceral therapy according to the concept of the authors Barral and Mercier. Individual methods and techniques are recorded by using photography and arranged clearly according to organs and organ systems.

Pain perception in elders
Vítková, Jana ; Vaculín, Šimon (advisor) ; Telenský, Petr (referee)
The aging of the population is one of the problems of the current period. With increasing age, we have to deal with the accompanying phenomenon more and more - the pain which significantly inconveniences the life and makes normal integration of elderly people into society impossible. This bachelor thesis summarises the present knowledge of pain in elderly people. It addresses the mechanism of pain perception, physiology of aging and types of pain which occur in elderly people. Some types of pain are accompanying diseases which occur during old age - neuropathic, chronic and oncologic pains. The higher occurrence of these types of pain could be explained by the progressive degeneration of nerve system during aging, either due to demyelization and reduction of the number of nerve fibres or due to accumulation of free radicals in the organism. On the other hand, there are some types of pain which elderly people feel with lower intensity - visceral and postoperative pain. At the same time, the pain threshold is increasing in the elderly people. This paradox, i.e. on one hand higher occurrence of chronic pain at higher intensity and on the other hand reduction of visceral pain and postoperative pain could be explained by diffuse noxious inhibitory controls. The current knowledge of the pain in the elderly is...
