The study aimed to investigate the role of aggression and impulsivity in smoking among male adult students. It was hypothesized that there would be significant difference between smokers and non- smokers on the traits of aggression and impulsivity. The sample of two hundred male adult students was selected from different universities of Islamabad. Two subscales of Impulsiveness and Aggression were administered to measure the personality traits of aggression and impulsivity. Descriptive statistics and t-test was calculated for analysis of data. Results showed that there is significant differences in aggression and impulsivity between smokers and non-smokers. The result can be helpful for psychologist and other professionals to plan public health therapeutic and social reengineering interventions for youth., Uzma Zaidi, and Literatura
Angiosarcoma is a soft tissue tumour with a dismal prognosis. We present a 74 year old male presenting with a non healing ulcer on the scalp. On histopathology a diagnosis of angiosarcoma was made. An early diagnosis and tumour size play a pivotal role in the survival of the patient., Deepal J Deshpande, Chitra S Nayak, Sunil N Mishra, and Literatura 6
Academic detailing, also known as prescriber support and education, is the service of sending trained clinicians to physicians’ offices in order to present the best available, objective scientific evidence in a given therapeutic area. We describe and review experience with academic detailing programs. We conclude that the academic detailing program could be tried in the Czech Republic, Ludwig O. Dittrich, and Literatura
In the last decade the health of young people in Ukraine as well as in many other countries of the world significantly deteriorated according to the results of screening tests. Because of this the main task of prophylactic medicine is development and introduction of new methods of early diagnostics of diseases. The aim of the work to assess the peculiarities of adaptation of students with different types of vegetative regulation. Material and methods: 415 second year students of Lugansk State Medical University were tested. The mechanisms of physiological functions of the body regulation were assessed by registration of cardiac rhythm variability (CRV). Analysis of CRV was performed by three methods: statistical, geometrical, and spectral analysis. The express method proposed by Shlyk, N.I. (2009) was later used to determine the prevailing type of vegetative regulation. To assess adaptability the method of R.M. Baevskij (1979) was used. Results: In the result of investigation 4 types of functional states of regulatory systems were determined: I type 295 (71 %) of tested, II in 14 (3 %), III in 96 (23 %) and IV only in 10 (2%). I type of functional state of regulatory systems in the wakeful state at rest was characterized by moderate prevalence of central regulation of heart rhythm (MPCR), decreased activity of autonomic regulation. It was noticed that some of the parameters of CRV (like RR, SDNN, RMSSD and pNN50) which characterize autonomic regulation, were statistically lowere (р≤0.01) compared to type III, and some (like AMo and SI) higher, in both female and male students. Summarized spectrum capacity and components of its wave structure (HF, LF, VLF) which characterize central regulation were statistically significantly lower (р≤0.01) for the I type of regulation compared to the III one which is characterized by moderate prevalence of autonomic regulation of the heart rhythm. In female students with type I autonomic regulation compared to male students such CRV parameters as RR and AМo were statistically significantly lower (р≤0.05), while the parameters of total potency (TP) and high frequency waves (HF) were higher (р≤0.05), which could point to more centralized heart rhythm regulation in male compared to female. The evaluation of regulatory systems overstress allowed to determine the state of adaptation and risk of overstress or breakdown in students with different types of autonomic regulation. Conclusions: Thus, evaluation of adaptation state in students with different types of autonomic regulation allows to characterize the current functional state and uncover the risk of disease development., Tatiana Tananakina, Natalya Lila, Anzhelika Ivasenko, Dmitrij Bolgov, Svetlana Mavrich, Yuliya Modna, and Literatura
Cíl: Průzkumné šetření zjišťovalo schopnosti spolupráce nemocných při léčbě Warfarinem a dodrţování léčebného reţimu v průběhu dlouhodobé antikoagulační terapie Warfarinem. Konkrétně byla mapována a vyhodnocena úroveň edukace sestrou, informovanost a adherence k léčbě u pacientů léčených Warfarinem. Metodika: Průzkumný soubor tvořilo 108 pacientů evidovaných v ambulantním léčení interní a kardiologické ambulance při interním oddělení Nemocnice ve Frýdku-Místku. Průzkumné šetření probíhalo v prosinci roku 2010 a lednu roku 2011. Pro sběr dat byla vyuţita metoda dotazníkového šetření. Výsledky: Výsledky průzkumného šetření ukazují, ţe naprostá většina pacientů léčených Warfarinem se aktivně podílí na léčebném procesu. Nemocným se od zdravotníků dostává poučení o léčbě, sestry se na edukaci podílejí v 75 %. Většina dotázaných dochází na pravidelné kontroly a zná zpaměti uţívanou dávku léku. Čtvrtina nemocných však není schopna uvést krvácení jako hlavní riziko léčby. Převáţná většina respondentů si je vědoma skutečnosti, ţe účinek léčby můţe být ovlivněn sloţením přijímané potravy, méně neţ polovina respondentů zná interakci Warfarinu s jinými léky či doplňky stravy. Nemocní mají na zřeteli, ţe je nutno informovat kaţdého lékaře o této léčbě, jen polovina respondentů však informuje i lékárníka. Závěr: Adherence k léčbě ze strany pacienta je základem úspěšné a bezpečné terapie Warfarinem. Cílem všech zdravotníků by měla být snaha o kvalitní a efektivní komunikaci s nemocnými, snaha o dosaţení co nejvyšší úrovně spolupráce, ochoty a schopnosti pacientů řídit se pokyny zdravotníků. Tím se výrazně zvýší úspěšnost léčby a eliminuje se riziko moţných komplikací léčby., Aim: Exploratory investigation ascertained capabilities of cooperation of patients when treated with warfarin and adherence to treatment regimen during long term anticoagulant therapy by warfarin. Specifically was mapped and assessed the level of education by nurse, foreknowledge and adherence to treatment in patients treated with warfarin. Methods: The exploratory set consisted of 108 patients, who were registered in ambulant treatment of internal and cardiac ambulance at internal department of Hospital in Frydek-Mistek. Exploratory investigation took place in December 2010 and January 2011. For data collection was used method of questionnaire survey. Results: The results of questionnaire survey show, that absolute majority of patients treated with warfarin is actively participating in the treatment process. The patients receive from the health care providers education about the treatment, nurses are participating in education in 75%. Majority of respondents have regular check ups and knows by heart the dose of the drug. A quarter of patients is not able to state bleeding as the main risk of treatment. The vast majority of respondents are aware of the fact, that the treatment effect may be influenced by the composition of the diet, less than half of the respondents know the warfarin interactions with other medication or supplements. Patients have in mind that every doctor should be informed about this treatment, only half of the respondents, however, informs as well the pharmacist. Conclusion: Adherence to treatment by the patient is the foundation of a successful and safe warfarin therapy. The goal of all health professionals should be to aim for quality and effective communication with patients, effort to achieve the highest level of cooperation, willingness and ability of patients to follow medical instructions. This greatly increases the effectiveness of treatment and eliminates the risk of potential complications of treatment., Michaela Teperová, Lucie Sikorová, and Literatura 8
Background: We have analyzed the aged population disability processes to establish specifics and regularities of the causal structure of disability among the working and nonworking aged population. Methods: In total, 1208 examination reports of the Medical & Social Expert Commission have been subjected to excerption in Almaty. Results: Persons having the second disability status prevail in the working aged contingent 4,4%, which is much higher than the ratios for the first and second disability statuses (0,4% and 0,6%, respectively). Among the nonworking population, persons having the second disability status largely prevail too 8,1% (3,1% and 1,1%, respectively). The casual structure of disability among the nonworking disabled persons includes as follows: blood circulatory system diseases (40%), malignant neoplasms (27,2%), and diseases of the eye and its appendages (10,2%). They are followed by endocrine diseases, nutritional and metabolic disturbances (7,6%), bodily injuries (3%), and urogenital system diseases with musculoskeletal system ones 2,3% each. The data collection for the working aged population contingent has found out blood circulatory system diseases (47%) and malignant neoplasms (34,4%). Alongside with that, the distinctive feature among the said aged population cohort is a substantial predominance of bodily injuries (7,4%), endocrine diseases, nutritional and metabolic disturbances (2,3%), and only 1,4% is accounted for diseases of the eye and its appendages., Akmaral K.

Východiska: Vzhledem ke geriatrizaci ošetřovatelské péče se ageismus stává často diskutovaným tématem. Z tohoto důvodu je velmi důležité, aby nelékařští zdravotničtí pracovníci byli v tomto ohledu dostatečně vzděláváni, protože právě dostatečná informovanost a praktická zkušenost může ovlivnit míru inklinace k ageistickým postojům. Cíl: Cílem výzkumného šetření bylo zhodnotit ageistické postoje u studentů středních zdravotnických škol v závislosti na škole a ročníku, kterou respondenti navštěvovali a zjistit rozdíly ve vnímání seniorské populace. Metody: V souladu s cíli práce byl proveden kvantitativní výzkum formou dotazníkového šetření. Na základě bodového ohodnocení odpovědí v dotazníku byla zjištěna míra ageistických postojů u respondentů. Výsledky: Práce prokázala, že je statisticky významný vztah mezi ageistickými postoji u studentů a jejich příslušností ke střední škole. Stejně tak byl prokázán rozdíl mezi ageistickými postoji u studentů druhých a čtvrtých ročníků středních zdravotnických škol. Závěry: Z práce vyplývá, že ve sledovaném souboru se u většiny studentů objevuje střední inklinace k ageistickým postojům s ohledem na navštěvovanou školu. Dále pak, že k ageistickým postojům inklinují více studenti čtvrtých ročníků, kteří již absolvovali odbornou praxi u lůžka nemocného, než studenti druhých ročníků, kteří tuto praxi ještě neabsolvovali., Background: Due to geriatrization of nursing care becomes oen discussed theme. Because of this it’s very important that non-medical health staff will be enough educated. It is that sufficient awareness and practical experience that can affect the rate of inclination to ageist attitudes. Objective: e objective of this research was to evaluate ageist attitudes of nursing school students according to school which the respondents visited and find out the differences in perception of senior population among the students of second and fourth grade. Methods: Due to the aims of this work the quantitative research has been done through a questionnaire survey. e rate of ageist attitudes was observed based on scoring responses. Results: A statistically significant relationship between symptoms of ageist attitudes this work proved as well as the differences between symptoms of ageist attitudes among second and fourth grade students. Conclusions: e work shows that in the sample survey, the majority of students appearing middle inclination to the myths of old age. Furthermore, the myths of old age tend more fourth grade students who have already completed work experience at the bedside than second grade students who have not completed this practice yet., and Kristýna Šoukalová, Jana Holá, Markéta Nemšovská
V roce 2013 vysoké české soudy již vydaly druhé zásadní rozhodnutí ve věci regulačních poplatků podle § 16a zákona č. 48/1997 Sb., o veřejném zdravotním pojištění a o změně a doplnění některých souvisejících zákonů, ve znění pozdějších předpisů. První rozhodnutí vydal jako své usnesení vedené pod sp. zn. Konf 38/2012 zvláštní senát zřízený podle zákona č. 131/2002 Sb., o rozhodování některých kompetenčních sporů. Účelem tohoto rozhodnutí pak bylo rozhodnout o právní povaze regulačních poplatků. Druhé rozhodnutí pak vydal Ústavní soud ČR., In the spring 2013 the special tribunal consisting of judges of the Supreme Court and the Supreme Administrative Court resolved a conflict of competencies between civil court and health insurance company. The dispute was who should decide on the obligation to pay regulatory fees under the Public Health Insurance Act. The special tribunal concluded that the competent authority is a civil court. The reason for this decision is that regulatory fees are subject to private law. However, arguments to support the decision are not too relevant. Most of the arguments on the other hand show the public law nature of regulatory fees., Radek Policar, and Literatura
V těhotenství je anafylaktická reakce naštěstí sice relativně vzácná, její důsledky ale mohou vést až k závažnému postižení matky i plodu. Ve většině publikovaných případů těžké anafylaxe v těhotenství bylo těžké postižení dokonce spíše na straně plodu než matky. Vznik anafylaxe se většinou nedá předvídat, první symptomy jsou někdy netypické, pouze lokální, ale rychle mohou přecházet v generalizované postižení celého organismu. Ať už jsou zprostředkovány protilátkami typu IgE (pravá anafylaxe), nebo vznikají na jiném podkladě (anafylaktoidní reakce), klinický obraz bývá obdobný. Je třeba myslet na to, že i klinicky nenápadné počáteční symptomy mohou mít průběh závažný a život ohrožující. Každé opomenutí a prodleva v diagnostice a léčbě anafylaxe může vést k fatálnímu konci. O úspěšném výsledku léčby rozhoduje velkou měrou medicínská zkušenost a včasnost zásahu. Protože je toto téma v současné literatuře zmiňováno spíše jen výjimečně, je cílem tohoto článku shrnout problematiku anafylaxe v těhotenství z hlediska patofyziologie, klinického průběhu, diagnostiky i léčby., Anaphylaxis in pregnancy is a relatively rare reaction but it can lead to serious maternal and fetal impairment. In published cases of severe anaphylaxis in pregnancy there were even more severe disabilities in the fetus than the mother. Development of anaphylaxis is usually unpredictable, the first symptoms are sometimes atypical and only local, but can move quickly in a generalized impairment of the whole organism. Whatever they are mediated by IgE antibodies (right anaphylaxis), or are caused on another basis (anaphylactoid reactions), the clinical picture is similar. It should be kept in mind that even clinically inconspicuous initial symptoms may progress into serious and life-threatening state. Any omission and delay in diagnosis and treatment of anaphylaxis can lead to fatal end. A successful outcome is largely dependent on experience and timeliness of medical intervention. Because this topic is mentioned in contemporary literature rather rarely, this review therefore summarizes the issue of anaphylaxis in pregnancy in terms of pathophysiology, clinical course, diagnosis and treatment., Jan Bláha, Pavlína Nosková, Kateřina Bláhová, Ivana Kolníková, and Literatura 56
This article aims to share the results of research conducted in the Fergana chemical plant of furan compounds (FCPFC) in Uzbekistan.19 workers of the Furan compounds plant, in Fergana, Uzbekistan, were tested. By neutron activation analysis method, we have studied microelement composition of saliva, blood, dental hard tissue, and the level of Ca, Zn, Fe, and Ag in these subjects. We have detected that the level of chemical elements in dental hard tissue, blood, and saliva of these workers was subject to negative changes as compared to the analysis results from those in the control group. The research results have practical value for the prophylaxis, treatment, and health resumption of the people living in rugged ecological environment and workers who are engaged with harmful substances in chemical industry. Furthermore,this research also provides recommendations for treatment of dental diseases related to common conditions of pathophysiological processes carried out by living organisms., Sunnatillo Gaffarov, Salim Sharipov, and Literatura
