A hybrid approach to elephant trunk technique for treatment of thoracic aortic aneurysms combines a conventional surgical and endovascular therapy. Compared to surgery alone, there is a presumption that mortality and morbidity is reduced. We present a case report of a 42-year-old man with a giant aneurysm of the entire thoracic aorta, significant aortic and tricuspid regurgitation and ventricular septum defect. The patient underwent multiple consecutive operations and interventions having, among others, finally replaced the entire thoracic aorta with the use of the hybrid elephant trunk technique. and T.

Tato zpráva předkládá statistický rozbor údajů o počtu a struktuře pracovníků ve zdravotnictví České republiky ke konci roku 2010 v členění podle druhů zdravotnických zařízení, sektorů, krajů, druhů pracovních poměrů, povolání a pohlaví pracovníků. K 31. 12. 2010 působilo v českém zdravotnictví více než 248 tis. pracovníků (v přepočtených počtech/úvazcích) a z nich necelých 7 tis. smluvních pracov and [autor Hrkal Jakub]
Předmětem studie je antropologie těla jako samostatné antropologické oblasti. Autoři rozlišili organickou a kulturní dimenzi lidského těla. Antropologie zkoumá tělo na třech strukturálních úrovních, které odpovídají třem hlavním typům kulturních prvků: artefakty, normy a významy. Vymezené úrovně lze s ohledem na antropologii těla uchopit prostřednictvím procesů úpravy, disciplinace a semiotizace těla., The object of the paper is anthropology of the body as a branch of anthropology as such. The authors distinguish between or- ganic and cultural dimension of the human body. Anthropology examines the body on three structural levels, which correspond to the three main types of cultural elements: artifacts, norms and meanings. Concerning the framework of anthropology of the body, the defi ned levels can be studied by means of modifi cation, disciplination and semiotization processes., Martin Soukup, Michaela Balcerová, and Literatura
Brachial Plexus is formed by the union of the anterior rami of cervical 5, 6, 7, 8 and thoracic 1 nerves. These nerves unite and divide to form the key nerves innervating the upper limb. Variations in the course of these nerves are clinically important to anesthetists, neurologists and orthopedicians. We report bilateral variations in the arterial and neural structures in the upper limb of a 65 year old cadaver. The muscles of the arm on one side were innervated by the median nerve with absence ofmusculocutaneous. While on the other side the musculocutaneous nerve contributed to the formation of the median nerve. There was a presence of high bifurcation of brachial artery on both sides. Knowledge of such variations in the innervations of muscles and the arterial supply of the limbs are important to remember before performing any reconstructive procedures or interventions on the limb. and V.

Unilateral otosclerosis combined with avascular necrosis of stapes crura is a rare entity. It should be considered in a case of high grade otosclerosis. Symptoms are the same as in patients who suffer from common otosclerosis. Patients complain on progressive hearing loss and tinnitus. The diagnosis is made clinically by conventional audiologic evaluation and radiologically by x-ray mastoid Schuller's view and CT scan. HRCT scan makes visible all parts of ossicular chain and gives surgeon some information about ossicular chain damage. Surgery with stapedotomy and stapes prosthesis implantation in a case of otosclerosis with avascular necrosis of stapes crura can be success therapy to improve patient's hearing and M. Erdoglija, J.

Brown tumors are bony lesions caused by rapid osteoclastic activity, which rare involved jaws. Renal osteodystrophy (ROD) is associated with different pathogenetic mechanisms--disorder of calcium-phosphate metabolism, impaired metabolism of vitamin D, increased parathyroid activity that lead to extreme concentrations of parathormone. The authors report two cases of jaw enlargement in patients received haemodialysis with excessive increase values of alkaline phosphatase and parathormone in serum. The patients were treated surgically with corrective procedures in maxillo-facial area. ROD of the jaws could be severe complication in dialysis patients with end stage of CKD if no appropriate care aimed at correction or prevention of parathyroid hyperfunction was applied to them. and PF.

Publikace vydaná v r. 2013 je určena zejména praktikům působícím v oblasti komunitní péče (terénní a ambulantní) o uživatele návykových látek. Kolektiv autorů popisuje praxi case managementu, způsobu práce, který se v mnoha "západních" zemích stal základním nástrojem komunitní péče o osoby v obtížných situacích, včetně osob závislých. I v českém prostředí se tento přístup postupně usazuje a dá se, [autoři Pavel Nepustil, Markéta Szotáková a kol. ; editor Lucie Grolmusová], and Obsahuje bibliografii
