Monitoring of the core muscles activity in postural stability examination by Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization tests using surface electromyography in patients with low back pain
Zajíčková, Jana ; Valouchová, Petra (advisor) ; Mačkalová, Petra (referee)
The Master's thesis is focused on monitoring of the core muscles and m. biceps femoris activity in postural stability examination by Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization tests using surface electromyography in patients with LBP. Trunk extension test, trunk flexion test and squat test were chosen. The aim of this study was comparing muscle activity timing, symmetry of muscle activation and average activation between healthy subjects and patients with LBP. The changes of muscle activation pattern were observed and average activation was determined. In theoretical part the principles of DNS, surface electromyography and the relationship between postural stabilization and LBP are discussed. Two groups were measured - patients with LBP and a control group, 20 subjects together. The onset times were measured and rank of activation for each test and for each subject was determined. Then the average order for whole group was specified. Measured data were evaluated according to Wilcoxon signed-rank test. In average activation there was analysed change of activation in time. Results were compared between two measured groups. There is significant difference between the two groups in the rank of activation of m. ES l. dx. in trunk extension test and m. EO in squat test. Assymetry in timing of the right and left...

LCD a VLCD diet during hospitalization
Zajíčková, Jana ; Matoulek, Martin (advisor) ; Kytnarová, Jitka (referee)
Objective: LCD and VLCD diets are short-term indicated (days to weeks) low caloric and very low caloric diets, which should be supervised by a doctor - e. g. by means a weight loss hospitalization (WLH). LCD and VLCD diets are used in preoperative preparation of obese patients and to break insulin resistance in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM II). The theoretical part of the bachelor"s thesis is focused on LCD and VLCD in obesity and diabetes mellitus treatment - the two most common diseases that can be found in the medical history of patients indicated for WLH. The aim of the theoretical part is to compare obesity treatment in medical care and commercial weight loss programs (for commercial weight loss programs the term "obesity management" is used). The study evaluate the most common indications for WLH, determine weight changes during the hospitalization and compare the weight of patients with DM II and without DM II (nDM II) one year after the WLH. Methods: The input data were obtained from the Medea database. These are the anamnestic data of patients hospitalized for the purpose of losing weight on the Third Medical Department of First Faculty of Medicine Charles University and General University Hospital in Prague in the period of January 2014 - January 2015. There were 93 WLHs...

The influence of music therapy on stability and reactibility of vertebrogenic patients as viewed by a physiotherapist Objectivisation by the posturography
Zajíčková, Jana ; Gerlichová, Markéta (advisor) ; Gueye, Tereza (referee)
The therapy of vertebral issues is nowadays (at the present time) an inherent part of the physiotherapist's work. The main aim of this study is to find out, if we are able to change stability and reactibility of patients with vertebral issues by using selected elements of musical therapy. As an ulterior aim I chose to evaluate respondent's subjective feelings about changes in their vertebral issues and to compare advantages and disadvantages of integrating musical therapy into therapeutical unit. In the theoretical part I am writing about musical therapy as a branch of science which is trying to find its place in our health care. I am also writing about postural motor skills, posturography as an objectiv evaluating method and about vertebral issues with its etiology. An important chapter in this theoretical part is about psychosomatics, which often causes back pain. For practical part of the theses I prepared 10 musical therapy sessions. Main aim of these sessions was to influent musculosceletal system, reactibility and stability of respondents. To evaluate objectively the results the posturography was used. Materials used to fulfill ulterior aims were taken by a questionnaire.

Studying of atorvastatin effects on atherogenesis in apoE-/-/LDLR-/- double knock-out mouse model of atherosclerosis II.
Zajíčková, Jana ; Nachtigal, Petr (advisor) ; Štaud, František (referee)
Atherosclerosis is a degenerative disease of blood-vessel wall, which attacks all population. It is very widespreaded and nowadays it is also one of the most frequent causes of death in the all economically advanced countries. In recent years the extensive research of atherosclerosis have brought a number of new pieces of knowledges, which have contributed to understanding of actions that happen during the process of atherogenesis. ApoE/LDL - receptor double knockout mice represent an animal model for study of atherogenesis, which is able to evolve severe hyperlipidaemia and atherosclerosis. Statins are currently the most considerable and the most useful hypolipidemic drugs. They significantly decrease levels of total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol and also decrease mortality and morbidity of cardiovascular diseases. The aim of the diploma thesis was to find out and describe the expression of SMAD 2/3 in atherosclerotic plaques in apoE/LDL-receptor deficient mice and to study possible atorvastatin effects on its expression. The female mice at the age of eight weeks were used in the study. Animals were divided �into� two �groups. The �control� group �of �animals� was fed with the western type diet.����same atherogenic diet was�used in��atorvastatin group,�where�atorvastatin�was�added to the...
