This paper introduces some major conceptual enhancements to the morphological annotation of the SYN series corpora of the Czech National Corpus. Apart from minor changes in tokenization and in the positional tagset, three major conceptual changes have been applied which affect the representation of various lexical and grammatical patterns. In the paper, we present the actual impact of the changes in linguistic data and search for possibilities in three linguistic areas. First, the treatment of phonic, graphemic, and morphological variants via a two-tier lemma structure is discussed; second, a new approach to periphrastic verb forms, auxiliaries, participles and the interpretation of verbal grammatical categories through a new attribute, called verbtag, is explained; and third, a complex multi-value treatment of multiword tokens is introduced.
The changed socio-political conditions and transformation processes after 1989 had a significant impact on many spheres of life of our society. The text discusses these circumstances in connection with the issue of breastfeeding and its reflection from the perspective of mothers of two generations. The rise in popularity of breastfeeding and its preferences as the most appropriate method of nutrition in young children has been apparent for longer than adecade not only in Slovakia. This has been confirmed by works in the medical field as well as research on a specific sample of informants, on which the study is based. It attempts to reach an ethnological interpretation of the perception of breastfeeding by current mothers and women of an older generation. It confronts the attitudes of older women and current mothers towards breastfeeding and phenomena related thereto. It concludes that in recent years breastfeeding has been on the rise in comparison with the previous generation of mothers. The author considers the increased promotion of breastfeeding and the irreplaceability of breast milk in child nutrition to be the main factors contributing to this situation.
Waldenströmova makroglobulinemie je definována přítomností monoklonálního imunoglobulinu typu IgM (M-IgM) a průkazem lymfoplazmocytární infiltrace kostní dřeně. Choroba má indolentní průběh, léčba se zahajuje až v okamžiku, jakmile začne nemoc poškozovat svého nositele. Za klasické indikace k zahájení léčby jsou považovány: B symptomy, symptomatická lymfadenopatie či splenomegalie, anémie s hodnotou hemoglobinu < 100 g/l nebo trombocytopenie < 100 × 109/l, způsobená lymfoplazmocytární infiltrací kostní dřeně. Mezi časté indikace pro zahájení léčby patří klinické známky hyperviskozity či kryoglobulinemie. M-IgM mívá až v 50 % charakter autoprotilátky, která může poškozovat organizmus, a proto jakékoliv prokázané poškození organizmu autoimunitní aktivitou M-IgM je také indikací k léčbě. Přehled vzácných i velmi vzácných typů poškození organizmu autoimunitní aktivitou M-IgM je obsažen v textu. Pro iniciální léčbu se doporučuje kombinace rituximabu, cyklofosfamidu a dexametazonu (RCD), případně doplněná na režim R-CHOP (rituximab, cyklofosfamid, vinkristin, doxorubicin a prednison). V našem souboru 43 pacientů dosáhla léčba kombinací R-CHOP celkem 3 (8,1 %) kompletních remisí a 31 (83,8 %) parciálních remisí. Trvání remise bylo u 75 % léčených delší než 3 roky. V případě recidivy po více než 2 letech lze použít tu samou léčbu, v případě recidivy v kratším intervalu se doporučují jiná léčebná schémata. Vysokodávkovaná chemoterapie s autologní transplantací kmenových krvetvorných buněk získaných z periferní krve se doporučuje až při první recidivě pro osoby mladší 65 let bez kontraindikací. V textu je analyzován přínos nových léků pro léčbu Waldenströmovy makroglobulinemie (bendamustinu, talidomidu, lenalidomidu, ibrutinibu a vysokodávkované chemoterapie). Klíčová slova: autoimunita – bendamustin – bortezomib – hyperviskozita – ibrutinib – kryoglobulinemie – monoclonal immunoglobuline releated disease – nemoc chladových aglutininů – rituximab – Waldenströmova makroglobulinemie, Waldenström macroglobulinemia is defined by the presence of monoclonal immunoglobulin IgM type (M-IgM) and evidence of lymphoplasmacytic bone marrow infiltration. The disease has an indolent course, the treatment is only initiated when the disease has begun to damage its carrier. The following symptoms are regarded as proven indications for initiating therapy: B symptoms, symptomatic lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, anemia with hemoglobin below 100 g / l or thrombocytopenia < 100 × 109/l, caused by lymphoplasmacytic bone marrow infiltration. Frequent indications for initiating treatment include clinical evidence of hyperviscosity or cryoglobulinemia. M-IgM tends to have a character of autoantibody reaching up to 50 %, which may harm the organism, and therefore any proven damage to the organism by an autoimmune activity of M-IgM is also an indication for treatment. The text includes an overview of rare and very rare types of damage to the organism by M-IgM autoimmune activity. A combination of rituximab, cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone (RCD) is recommended for the initial treatment, possibly extended to R-CHOP regimen (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin and prednisone). In our cohort of 43 patients the therapy involving a combination of R-CHOP achieved 3 (8.1 %) complete remissions and 31 (83.8 %) partial remissions. The remission in 75 % of the patients lasted more than 3 years. In case of recurrence after > 2 years, the same therapy can be used, in case of a relapse within a shorter period of time different treatment schedules are recommended. High-dose chemotherapy with an autologous transplant of stem cells obtained from peripheral blood is only recommended after the first recurrence for people under 65 years of age without contraindications. The text analyses the benefits of the new drugs for the treatment of Waldenström macroglobulinemia (bendamustine, thalidomide, lenalidomide, ibrutinib and high-dose chemotherapy).
