This dissertation is based on the possibilities of improvement of obesitological care as delivered by general practitioners. The theoretical part is dedicated to marketing, obesitology and to the lesser known problem of gynoid obesity. The practical section describes the quantitative research into GP's delivering adult care in the Prague area, central Bohemian area, and amongst the clients of Centrum Preventivní Medicíny. The needs of GP's in terms of this type of care are examined. The main needs are elementary and further education, information about the problems of gynoid obesity, and the need for GP's to co-operate with obesitological institutions, including centres of gynoid obesity therapy. At the end of the thesis is a suggested list of products for Centrum Preventivní Medicíny. Also suggested is an algorithm of care for gynoid obesity for use in GP's practice. Key words: Obesity, Gynoid Obesity, Lipoedema, Komplex Decongestiv Therapy, GP, Algorithm of care.

This diploma thesis deals with a leisure time of clients of the Halfway House. The aim of the thesis is to map the content and structure of their leisure time. The thesis seeks to define what the representatives of the target group need for better self realization. Based on these findings author of the thesis design a new program supporting their spending of leisure time. The thesis consists of two parts: theoretical part and practical part. The theoretical part presents a halfway house social service and other programs of the civic association DOM. There are described clients' problems with integration into society. This part of the thesis focuses particularly on the origin of these problems, which mainly come from inadequate care in early childhood and bad family environment or life in an institutonal care later. All psychological and physical needs of a child are not fulfill due to poor care in early childhood and it affects his future mental development. Thesis refers to Pesso Boyden System Psychomotor (PBSP) theory created by Albert Pesso and Diane Boyden - Pesso. PBSP define five basic needs which are necessary for healthy mental development in early childhood. The theoretical part also deals with theory of attachment. Attachment is an emotional bond between child and mother, which has major...

This diploma thesis deals with the role of exusers (former habit-forming substances abusers) in the treatment of addicted clients and in the management processes utilised within the communities of the Betel organisation. Extensive attention is paid to the description of the methods of work in the Betel organisation, which uses in the majority, the self- help therapeutic potential of the exusers in its long-term residential programme. Throughout this thesis, the alternative approach in treatment used in Betel is compared to the more frequently used concept of professionally managed therapeutic communities. The theoretical part of this thesis is divided into five main chapters. The first chapter deals with the description of the workings of professionally managed therapeutic communities, their place in the system of help to the addicted in the Czech Republic, and their effectiveness in the treatment. The second chapter describes in detail the methods and specifics of the help that is used in Betel and especially points out the role of exusers in this concept. The third chapter focuses on the history of community lifestyle with an emphasis on the self-help therapeutic impact. In the forth chapter there is a description of the specifics of the management processes utilised in both the therapeutic and...

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a subtype of B-non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, characterized by often relapses. Despite an Ibrutinib (a Bruton's kinase inhibitor) implementation into salvage therapy, these patients often relapse with biologically highly aggressive disease and very poor prognosis. An increased activation of alternative metabolic pathways was described as one of ibrutinib-resistance mechanisms. Some of these pathways have also significant proangiogenic activity (e.g. PI3K-AKT-mTOR). In presented study, we established and standardized a real-time ultrasound and photoacoustic imaging of neovascularization and tissue oxygenation of subcutaneous MCL tumors in mice. Ultrasound and photoacoustic imaging is a fast, non-invasive method for angiogenesis evaluation in subcutaneous tumors with huge preclinical potential. Using MCL mice models, we also demonstrated the importance of CD31/PECAM-1 expression for engraftment, growth and spread of MCL cells in vivo. The level of CD31 expression in primary MCL cell (obtained directly from MCL patients) positively correlates with extent of extranodal involvement. CD31 facilitates survival and regulates extranodal spread of mantle cell lymphoma. We found that increased VEGFA expression causes not only increased microvessel density due to higher sprouting...

Background: The use of nicotine-containing tobacco is among the substances with the highest dependence potential. The negative impact and consequences of cigarette use are discussed not only among experts. In contrast, nicotine replacement therapy and user experience are unspecified. Aims: The primary goal of the research was to map the experience of clients of the National Tobacco Quitline Czech Republic with the use of nicotine replacement therapy in the treatment of tobacco addiction. The categories examined include: dosage of replacement nicotine, preferred forms of replacement nicotine, reported adverse effects, and route of administration of replacement nicotine. The study was carried out in order to refine the dosage of nicotine replacement therapy, increase the compliance of nicotine replacement users and increase the quality of services provided by the National Tobacco Quitline Czech Republic. Methods: The study was carried out with the help of a qualitative research methodology. Respondents were selected using the method of intentional selection according to defined properties. Data was created using a structured interview with open-ended questions and semi-structured interviews.

Title: Effect comparison of educational-movement therapy "stabilization function"of a trunk and traditional rehabilitation therapeutic approach for patients with nonspecific low back pain. Nonspecific low back pain is a main cause of disability and the principal cause for injury-related lost work-days. The various therapies for nonspecific low back pain have been elaborated in many studies. The recommended therapeutic guideline for primary care of patients with nonspecific low back pain is early mobilization combined with a specific rehabilitation therapeutic approach. One such specific rehabilitation therapeutic approach is "trunk stabilization" therapy. The objective of this dissertation is to compare a therapeutic approach involving "stabilization exercises" with the traditional clinical approach that has been clinically proven to be most efficacious for patients with acute nonspecific low back pain. This study compares the effects of the prescribed therapies on 24 patients with non- specific acute low back pain. The test subjects (men and women with an average age 41.2 years) were allocated into two simple randomized subgroups. The test subjects received 2 outpatient therapy sessions per week for 4 weeks. Pre-test and post-test spine shape and range of motion examination were determined using...

Title: Comparison of educational and compensation exercise programmes for ankylosing spondylitis patients Objective: The objective of the research was to determine the effect of two educational and compensation exercise programmes on the mobility of the axial system, the functional status and disease activity (including inflammatory process activity) in individuals with ankylosing spondylitis. Methods: The research group included men and women (average age of 35.42 ± 7.15 years), all out-patients of the Institute of Rheumatology in Prague. This characteristic sample (n ═ 38) consisted of respondents who were randomised into three groups: The first experimental group (n ═ 13) attended an educational and compensation exercise programme in a group setting in a gym (twice a week) and an educational and compensation exercise programme in the form of a group exercise in a pool - hydrokinesiotherapy (once a week); the second experimental group (n ═ 13) attended the same educational and compensation exercise programme in a group setting in a gym (twice a week); the control group educational and compensation exercise programme in a group setting in a gym (twice a week) received no exercise intervention but its members were allowed to use "passive" physiotherapeutic procedures (e.g. hydrotherapy or...
