In order to study cardiac pathology in different subtypes of ischemic stroke we examined 165 stroke patients. The 1st group included 90 (54.5%) patients with hemodynamic stroke, the 2nd one - 75 (45.5%) patients with cardioembolic stroke. Control group consisted of 45 individuals without cerebrovascular diseases. Cardiac pathologies with the prevalence of various types of ischemic heart disease were observed in all groups. The parameters of left ventricular stroke volume and ejection fraction were lower in patients with hemodynamic stroke than in other groups, but were within normal limits. Potential sources of cardiogenic embolism were found in all groups: in the 1st group at 74.4%, in the 2nd one at 100%. Thus, most patients with ischemic stroke have different heart defects related to the subtypes of ischemic stroke., Natalya Dadamyants, and Literatura
Cíl: Cílem sledování bylo zhodnotit efektivitu zavedených nefarmakologických aktivit na podporu a zachování kognitivních funkcí na ženském gerontopsychiatrickém oddělení psychiatrické léčebny v Kroměříži a zhodnotit spokojenost hospitalizovaných klientek s těmito aktivitami. Metodika: Na začátku a ke konci hospitalizace bylo použito škály Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) a testu kreslení hodin (CDT) k orientačnímu zhodnocení kognitivních funkcí a na závěr hospitalizace bylo použito řízeného rozhovoru. Výsledky: Ke konci hospitalizace nebylo prokázáno statisticky signifikantního zlepšení ve stavu kognitivních funkcí (krátké období pozorování je nejpravděpodobnějším důvodem). Klientky však hodnotí psychoterapeutické aktivity k ovlivnění kognitivních funkcí kladně. Závěr: Nefarmakologické postupy mají významné místo v léčbě demence a doplňují farmakologické i podpůrné léčebné postupy., Aim: Aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of non-pharmacological approaches influencing cognitive functions that are used in routine practice in inpatient women psycho-geriatric ward in Mental hospital in Kromeriz. Furthermore the study tried to evaluate satisfaction with these activities in hospitalised clients. Methods: At the beginning and at the end of hospitalisation was used range of Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Clock Drawing Test (CDT) to make an indicative assessment of cognitive functions, and at the end of hospitalization was used a controlled interview. Results: At the end of hospitalisation there was no significant evidence of improving cognitive functions (short period of research is the most probable reason). Nevertheless, psychotherapeutic activities were evaluated by clients positively. Conclusion: Nonpharmacological approaches have important position in treatment of dementia, together with pharmacological and support therapy., Jan Lužný, and Literatura
According to our research, Uzbek individuals with Parkinson’s disease have high prevalence of 0/0 polymorphisms of GSTT1 and GSTM1 genes, as well as combinations of GSTT1 (0/0)/GSTM1/(0/0) genotypes. These mutations are associated with an earlier debut of the disease, its mixed form, and rapid rate of progression. Determination of mutations in GSTT1 and GSTM1 genes of xenobiotic detoxification in patients with Parkinson’s disease confirms multifactorial nature of this pathology and the role of the influence of various external factors in the modification of clinical signs of disease and its prognosis., Khanifa Khalimova, Malika Raimova, Rustam Matmurodov, Khurshidakhon Rasulova, Amina Burnasheva, Yekaterina Jmirko, Rustam Mukhamedov, and Literatura
Purpose: To investigate the protective action of Ceruloplasmin (Cp) on the lysis of erythrocytes in men with prostate tumors. Material and Methods: The blood erythrocytes of the patients with benign hyperplasia of prostate (BHP) and prostate adenocarcinoma (CaP) were studied. Patients at the age 60-75 with early stages of a cancer have been investigated. The control group was consisted of apparently healthy males with the compatible age. n=15 for each group. The clinical stage of the disease was diagnosed by means of rectal, histological and echographic examination of the prostate gland. Photometric methods were applied to register lysis dynamics in order to test out the protective action of Cp. Results: The nonspecific protective function of Cp preparation on BHP and CaP erythrocytes as well as on the control group erythrocytes was revealed. CaP erythrocytes have shown more sensitivity to the lysis provocative factor than BHP and the control group erythrocytes, that was presumably attributed to the structural and functional changes of the erythrocytes developed in the presence of malignant tumor., N.
