Charles University, 2nd Faculty of Medicine, Department of Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine. Supervisor Mgr. Marie Joachimová. Abstract INTRODUCTION: Childhood obesity is chronic metabolic disease associated with a number of complications and risks that affects individuals through their whole lives. The therapy of these patients is usually insufficient and falls short of desired results. Part of the treatment is a physical therapy, which however isn't always provided in optimal quality and regime. At the same time, unfortunately, the vast majority of lay and professional public does not fully apprehend in which way and to what extent it can help when properly applied. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this thesis is to summarize the most substantial knowledge regarding the childhood obesity, compare the results of available studies on therapeutic programs for obese children, suggest a plan for physical therapy for the treatment of childhood obesity, and its application in practice. METHODES: Relevant Information has been sought within the literature - professional books and journals or websites regarding the issue of childhood obesity. Three research projects were undertaken based on the materials...

In the introduction, the pathogenesis of the disease, and methods of diagnosis are provided.

In the concluding part, new options of causal therapy (currently in phase III clinical trials) are mentioned.

This thesis deals with the use of dancers´ body and its abilities by choreographers. The work is based not only on the study of literature (theoretical and practical part) but also on the research, which was part of the work carried out (questionnaire for dancers and choreographers). The aim is to describe what is the vision of the dancing body in the contemporary world. Is a relatively advanced age of a dancer an advantage or disadvantage on stage? The question is dealt with in terms of physical parameters, aesthetics, attractiveness for dancers and choreographers. At the same time this work is about dance medicine as a means of prevention, which can help prevent accidents in the choreographic rehearsals and contribute to the conscious use of physical possibilities of bodies of the dancers. Do the choreographers use bodies of the dancers primarily in terms of age and physical or mental abilities fully?

The state of critically ill patients suffering from polytrauma or sepsis is characterised by pathophysiologic processes, which cause significant changes in an organism on both a local and a systematic level. A stressful situation elicits an acute inflammatory response. This response is primarily meant to be a defence mechanism; however, this mechanism might become harmful to a certain degree. Hormones, cytokines and growth factors are included among the main control mechanisms activated during inflammatory response. A metabolic response to a stressful situation is characterized by an increased turnover of proteins, lipids, and glucose. Clinical consequences may develop as a result of these metabolic responses and include inflammation, anorexia, immobility, increased vascular permeability (which results in edema), vasodilation, tachycardia, and increased cardiac output. There are some key factors which have a negative contribution on an inflammatory response. Those factors may include malnutrition, pre-existing inflammatory activity, severe infection, obesity, ageing, genotype, and finally gender-gene effects, which may also play a role. The development of significant hormonal changes can be typified for critically ill patients. Such changes are particularly connected to catecholamines, thyroid...
