Observing of the skeletal muscle shape changes depending on human body surface temperature
Frýdová, Aneta ; Stupka, Martin (advisor) ; Otáhal, Martin (referee)
Title: Observing of the skeletal muscle shape changes depending on human body surface temperature Objectives: The aim of this work is to observe the cross-section changes of the m. rectus femoris depending on human body surface temperature changes. The cross section of the muscle was characterized by two dimensions: VDDM (ventrodorsal dimension of muscle) and LMDM (lateromedial dimension of muscle). The body temperature was affected by local positive and negative thermotherapy methods. Methods: The first part of the experiment focused on the selection of appropriate local positive and negative thermotherapy forms. Four of them were selected (two positive thermotherapy methods - Peat thermotherapy bags and infrared heater InfraPhil HP3616 and two negative thermotherapy methods - gel bag Cryoflex and Cryogen 3 device) for the main research. Twelve subjects participated on the main experiment. Selected local positive thermotherapy methods were applied on the centre of the subject's thighs, subsequently selected negative thermotherapy methods were applied. The body surface temperature was measured immediately before application, after 30 minutes of positive thermotherapy and after subsequent negative thermotherapy application. Ultrasound images of m. rectus femoris were taken at same time. VDDM and...

Changes in central reactibility during thermal stimulation monitored by electromagnetic tomography (sLORETA)
Richtrová, Eva ; Pánek, David (advisor) ; Nováková, Tereza (referee)
Title: Changes in central reactivity during thermal stimulation monitored by electromagnetic tomography (sLORETA) Objectives: The objective of this thesis is to determine whether there are any changes in central reactivity during local thermal stimulation by heat and cold and to compare the effect of analgesic electrical stimulation by TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) applied after single thermal stimuli. The brain activity was scanned from the scalp EEG and the results were evaluated by using sLORETA program. Methods: Twelve young, healthy people over the age of 21 participated in this study. The requirement for the participation in this experiment was good health condition without any neurological or other diagnoses. The electrical activity of the brain was being recorded throughout the whole experiment using a 32-channel EEG cap. The measurement had multiple parts. During the whole experiment, the participants were lying on the therapeutic table and all stimuli were applied locally to the right hand. Firstly, the EEG was recorded while participants were resting with closed eyes for five minutes. Then we realized a measurement of a two-minute long application of electrical stimulation of TENS in above-threshold sensitive intensity, which was individual for each participant. The...

Therapeutic and Regenerative Effects of Cryotherapy on the 50+ generation
SOSNOVÁ, Eva
The theoretical part of the thesis deals with the life style, regeneration, and relaxation with the focus on the application of cold to treat the elderly. The work explains the use of cryotherapy from both historical and scientific points of view. The aim is to introduce the method of cryotherapy as a popular method which postpones the beginning of dependency and motion impairment with people aged over 50 and thus enables them to keep active much longer. Although the 21st century medicine has reached an extraordinary success, the number of illnesses does not decrease. There is a wide variety of civilisation illnesses resulting from the wrong life style. For such illnesses drugs with frequent side effects are prescribed. The work introduces cryotherapy as one of the methods which can serve the health protection, prevention, the treatment of traumatic injuries, and the supportive therapy of different health problems with relatively no side effects.

Methodology sanitation currants from viruses and phytoplasmas
Sedlák, J. ; Špak, Josef ; Paprštein, F. ; Přibylová, Jaroslava ; Svobodová, L. ; Kubelková, Darina
The aim of this work was to determine the health status of primary resources of 4 red currant cultivars, 1 white currant cultivar and 3 black currant cultivars and research of thermotherapy in 39 °C as a method of sanitation from viral diseases. BRV (Black currant reversion virus) and GVBaV (Gooseberry vein banding associated virus) were detected in some primary resources by PCR. SLRSV (Strawberry latent ringspot virus) was detected by ELISA testing in one bush of a red currant. Phytoplasmas were not present in tested plants. Based on the preliminary results of testing, one clone of red currant cultivar ´Rubigo´ was sanitated from GVBaV, one clone of red currant cultivar ´Detvan´ from mixed infection of two viruses SLRSV and BRV and two clones of white currant cultivar ´Orion´ from mixed infection of two viruses BRV and GVBaV. Both clones of red currant cultivar ´Vitan´ remained infected with one of two viruses (BRV or GVBaV), which were detected in initial bush before the beginning of thermotherapy.
