Cil: Klasická neuralgie trigeminu (CTN) je charakterizována epizodickou ostrou neuropatickou obličejovou bolestí a s výjimkou přítomnosti neurovaskulárního konfliktu (NVC) nebyla v našem souboru podmíněna jinou známou abnormitou či patologií. V poslední době je diskutovaná atrofie trigeminu na straně bolesti. Našim cílem bylo ověřit tyto nálezy a vztáhnout je k dalším klinickým datům. <p align="">Soubor a metodika: Pomocí magnetické rezonance (MR) jsme změřili objemy trojklaného nervu na bolestí postižené a nepostižené straně a vyhodnotili výskyt a typ NVC u 45 nemocných s CTN. Následně jsme provedli korelace mezi objemy postiženého nervu, NVC, klinickými a demografickými daty (trvání nemoci, věk nemocného). <p align="">Výsledky: NVC jsme zjistili u 69 % postižených nervů, 51 % nepostižených nervů a u 42 % nemocných oboustranně. Signifikantně snížený objem trojklaného nervu byl zjištěn na bolestí postižené straně (p < 0,001). Žádné korelace jsme nezaznamenali mezi objemem postiženého nervu, přítomností a typem NVC ani mezi klinickými a demografickými daty. <p align="">Závěr: Naše výsledky naznačují, že NVC může být sice spoušťovým mechanizmem CTN u vnímavých subjektů, ale není spolehlivým ukazatelem nemoci. Snížený objem trojklaného nervu se objevuje nezávisle na NVC a odráží spíše predisponující asymetrii trigeminu než vzniklou atrofii., Aim: Classic trigeminal neuralgia (CTN) is characterized by episodic neuropathic facial pain that, with exception of neurovascular conflict (NVC), was not attributed to any underlying disorder in our sample. Using magnetic resonance imaging, we evaluated volumes of affected and non‑affected nerves and presence and type of NVC in a large group of CTN subjects prior to gamma knife treatment. <p align="">Design: Correlation between affected nerve volume and NVC, clinical data and demographic characteristics (duration of pain, age) were explored in 45 subjects diagnosed with CTN. <p align="">Results: NVC was detected in 69% of affected nerves, 51% of non‑affected nerves, and in 42% of subjects bilaterally. Lower trigeminal nerve volume was detected on the affected side (p < 0.001), however, no correlation between affected nerve volume and the presence and type NVC or demographic data was detected. <p align="">Conclusion: Our results suggest that NVC may trigger CTN in susceptible subjects but is not a reliable disease marker. Lower trigeminal nerve volume appears to manifest independently of NVC, and may represent nerve asymmetry rather than atrophy., and D. Urgosik, A. M. Rulseh, J. Keller, V. Svehlik, J. M. V. N.

ASCR recalls the ninetieth anniversary of the signing of Three Kings Declaration which paved way for Czechoslovak independence. For the first time this declaration formulated the proposal for an independent Czech state, united with Slovakia, but with no mention of Habsburg Dynasty. and Martin Kučera.
The present article focuses on the everyday life of married couples at the countryside in the „long" 19th century on the basis of the sources that arose at the Archiepiscopal Matrimonial Court in Prague shortly after the beginning of the 19th century. The case of Josef Houšek reveals the social and economic situation of the villagers and their in dealing with the highest ecclesiastical and state representatives. Besides, it renders possible a surprisingly close view of the everyday life of the married couple and their relatives. The husband and wife Houšek had to cope with the incapability of the wife Barbora to fulfil her „marital duty". This led to several attempts to annulate the marriage. However in the period between 1845 and 1858, for which the case was followed through the sources, these efforts were in vain. Besides, the whole case reveals the increasing importance of the medical science and its impact even to the ordinary village inhabitants., Zuzana Čevelová., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
