Comparative study of body temperature measurement using various technologies
Vaněk, Ondřej ; Sekora, Jiří (referee) ; Provazník, Ivo (advisor)
The aim of this work is to compare the body temperature measurement with different contact thermometers. The theoretical part includes studying the topic, familiarization with the situation at the Faculty Hospital Brno, Bohunice and suggestion of method for comparison. The practical part includes thermometers measurement in the laboratory to verify the accuracy, clinical measurement on patients in different parts of the body and under various conditions and statistical evaluation of results.

Marking of axillary lymphatic nodes in breast cancer patients.
Dostálek, Lukáš ; Pavlišta, David (advisor) ; Daneš, Jan (referee) ; Zikán, Michal (referee)
Introduction Axillary dissection has little diagnostic and therapeutic benefit in the node-positive breast cancer patients in whom axillary disease has been completely eradicated after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (ypN0). We sought to assess the efficacy of an algorithm used for the identification of the ypN0 patients consisting of intraoperative evaluation of sentinel and tattooed (initially positive) lymph nodes. Methods Included were T1 and T2 breast cancer patients with one to three positive axillary lymph nodes marked with carbon who were referred for neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by a surgery. Axillary dissection was performed only in the patients with residual axillary disease after neoadjuvant chemotherapy on ultrasound or with metastases described in the sentinel or tattooed lymph nodes either intraoperatively or in the final histology. Results Out of 62 included initially node-positive patients, 15 (24%) were spared axillary dissection. The detection rate of tattooed lymph node after neoadjuvant chemotherapy was 81%. The ypN0 patients were identified with 91% sensitivity and 38% specificity using ultrasound and intraoperative assessment of both sentinel and tattooed lymph node according to the final histology. Discussion/Conclusion Lymph node marking with carbon dye is a useful and...

Lymphedema of the upper extremity as a complication after breast tumour curative radiotherapy.
LOUDA, Marek
Lymphedema of the upper extremity is a serious complication after breast cancer treatment. This thesis concerns lymphedema of the upper extremity after a curative treatment for breast cancer. Describes breast cancer therapy, its methods and curative purposes. Explain what sentinel node disection is and what compliactins expect after its removal. Becouse essential part in breast cancer treatment také radiotherapy, thesis intoduces radiation dozes, radiation volums and radiation therapy technique. The goal of this thesis was to evaluate number of lymphedema of the upper extremity at patients after axilary node disection and at patients after sentinel node disection and adjuvant radiation therapy treatment. The explorative question was whether a sentinel node disection reduces origin of lymphedema upper extremity independently on radiation therapy extent and iradiation volum. The metholodgy was based on collecting data of patients with breast cancer tumour from register of oncological patients in Hospital České Budějovice joint stock company. Data were subsequently processed and compared to data obtained from vocational literature.
