Artefacts Removal from Brain EEG Signals Using Adaptive Algorithms
Hatala, Juraj ; Jawed, Soyiba (referee) ; Shakil, Sadia (advisor)
Tato práce se zabývá problémem artefaktů ve záznamech elektroencefalografie (EEG) a metodami jejich odstranění s důrazem na adaptivní filtrace. Artefakty jsou neodmys- litelnou součástí metody EEG a negativně ovlivňují analýzu výsledků tím, že překrývají zájmové mozkové signály. Adaptivní filtrace je všestrannou metodou, kterou lze použít pro odstranění těchto artefaktů, pokud je k dispozici referenční signál korelovaný s arte- faktem. Hlavním cílem této práce je návrh a implementace frameworku, který umožní aplikaci metod adaptivní filtrace na EEG data. Druhotným cílem je posouzení účinnosti nového algoritmu Q-LMS při odstraňování artefaktů z EEG, protože dosud nebyl v tomto scénáři použit. Práce představuje knihovnu v prostředí Python pro adaptivní filtrace EEG a ukazuje a hodnotí experimenty pro scénáře odstraňování artefaktů s použitím Q-LMS fil- tru implementovaného v navržené knihovně. V této knihovně je uživatel schopen vytvářet přizpůsobitelné filtrační pipeliny. Knihovna nabízí různé adaptivní filtry a metody vytváření referenčního signálu s důrazem na zpracování neurologických dat ve formátu BIDS. Uži- vatel však může sdílet vlastní filtry s frameworkem a také používat vlastní vstupní data a referenční signály. Experimenty s Q-LMS algoritmem ukázaly, že se jedná o dobře fun- gující adaptivní algoritmus, avšak výsledky filtrace byly průměrný ve srovnání s výsledky dosaženými jinými standardními adaptivními algoritmy

Determination of selenium and manganese in cerebrospinal fluid by atomic absorption spectrometry
Jiráková, Lucie ; Kotaška, Karel (advisor) ; Klapková, Eva (referee)
The aim of this study was to confirm the use of electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry for the determination of selenium and manganese in the cerebrospinal fluid and to investigate concentrations of selenium and manganese in selected group of patients. For selenium was determined the detection limit 2,9 μg/l, for manganese 0,26 μg/l. 73 patients were examined (31 women, 42 men) whose average age was 14,1 years. The patients were divided into two groups according to age (56 children, 17 adults) and into two subgroups according to diagnoses (oncological, neurological). The control group consists of 18 subjects (5 women, 13 men, average age 21,7 years) with non-oncological and non-neurological diagnoses. We found significantly increased selenium concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid in the control group, compared with the group with neurological diagnoses (median = 14,4 μg/l vs. 12,4 μg/l, p < 0.05). Elevated levels of manganese in cerebrospinal fluid was observed in a group of children with oncological diseases compared with control group (1,2 μg/l vs. 0,5 μg/l, p < 0.05). Determination of selenium and manganese in the cerebrospinal fluid may have diagnostic importance in selected groups of patients. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Nursing care about children with hydrocephalus.
POLÁKOVÁ, Nikola
This bachelor thesis "nursing care for hydrocephalic children" deals with the specifics of nursing care and its difficulty. Hydrocephalus is an excessive accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid that causes the brain's ventricular system to expand.The formation of the hydrocephalus comes due to imbalance in cerebrospinal fluid production or hydrocephalus can cause obstruction in the natural circulation of cerebrospinal fluid. The illness can lead to increased intraocular pressure and progressive head growth. The thesis is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical. The theoretical part will explain the term hydrocephalus, causes of origin, diagnosis and treatment. It also mentions the complications of operative solutions and subsequent nursing care. The practical part of the bachelor thesis is processed as a qualitative survey using the technique of semi-structured interview and case history. The target of the bachelor thesis was to find out the specifics in nursing care in children with hydrocephalus. Based on the target of the bachelor thesis, two research questions were identified. First: "What are the specifics in nursing care by children with hydrocephalus?". The second definition of the research question is: "What are the most common problems for children with hydrocephalus?" By processing the research part of the thesis, it was found, that nursing care for children with hydrocephalus is very demanding, both psychologically and physically. Taking care of these children is also very time consuming. Nursing care also depends largely on well-established and functioning treatments. If the patient is properly compensated, they may not be dependent on the care of another person. The research shows, that nurses are well informed about this disease and care for these children spend the time. This bachelor thesis will be the basis for a presentation at a conference in Budějovice on Kazuistika.
