Cieľ: Cieľom práce bolo zistiť, aký vplyv má bolesť na vybrané dimenzie ţivota pacientov v domácom prostredí, medzi ktoré patrí nálada, vzťah k iným ľuďom, radosť zo ţivota, spánok. Metodika: Súbor tvorilo 144 respondentov (91 ţien a 53 muţov) v podmienkach domáceho prostredia vo veku od 29 do 97 rokov v siedmich samosprávnych krajoch Slovenska. Zber údajov prebiehal v období november 2008 aţ január 2009. V rámci realizácie zberu údajov bol pouţitý štandardizovaný dotazník BPI (Brief Pain Inventory). Výsledky boli vyhodnotené jednorozmernou deskriptívnou štatistikou. Výsledky: Prítomnosť bolesti v skúmanej vzorke negatívne ovplyvňuje náladu, spánok a radosť zo ţivota viac u muţov ako u ţien. U ţien viac ovplyvňuje bolesť vzťah k iným ľuďom ako u muţov. Štatistickým spracovaním nebola zistená signifikantná súvislosť medzi premennými: nálada – pohlavie (p = 0,387), vzťah k iným ľuďom – pohlavie (p = 0,876), spánok – pohlavie (p = 0,065), radosť zo ţivota – pohlavie (p = 0,238). Záver: Bolesť výrazne ovplyvňuje vybrané dimenzie ţivota pacientov v domácom prostredí, čo vedie k širokej škále negatívnych emocionálnych reakcií a prejavov, ktoré môţu zintenzívňovať bolesť. Pravidelné hodnotenie vplyvu bolesti na jednotlivé dimenzie ţivota pacientov prispieva veľkou mierou taktieţ ku kvalitnej komunikácií medzi sestrou pracujúcou v domácom prostredí a pacientom zaloţenou na vzájomnej dôvere., Aim: The aim of our work was to determine the impact on pain in selected domains of life of patients in home care in terms of their mood, relationship to other people, joy of life and sleep. Methods: 144 respondents (91 women and 53 men aged from 29 to 97) in home care were randomly selected to make up the sample in 7 Slovak municipalities. The data collection was gathered from November 2008 to January 2009 using brief Pain Inventory. The results were evaluated by one-dimensional descriptive statistics. Results: The presence of pain among the respondents negatively influences the spirits, sleep and joy of life; more among men than women. Pain affects relationship to other people more among women than men. Statistical analysis showed no significant correlation between variables: spirits - sex (p = 0.387), relationship to other people – sex (p = 0.876), sleep – sex (p = 0.065), the joy of life - sex (p = 0.238). Conclusion: Pain has a significant impact in selected domains of patient`s life in home care leading to a wide range of negative emotions and behavior that could intensify the pain. Regular assessment of the pain impact in selected dimensions of patient`s live influences the quality of communication between nurse working in home care and a patient that is based on mutual trust., Mária Kožuchová, and Literatura 24
Autorky v textu přinášejí kritickou analýzu české právní úpravy práva homosexuálů na rodinný život (včetně práva na osvojení dítěte, svěření dítěte do péče, asistovanou reprodukci) a zamýšlejí se nad otázkou, zda je, či není vůči homosexuálům diskriminační., The authors critically analyse the Czech legal regulation regarding the rights of homosexual to family life (incl. right to adopt, child custody, assisted reproduction) in order to conclude whether it is, or it is not discriminatory., Eva Burkertová, Helena Krejčíková, Lucie Váňová, and Literatura
Background: There are several environmental factors which influence the preschoolers psychomotor development and the most considerable ones are socioeconomic status and day cares learning&care environment. Aim of this study is to assess how the change of socioeconomic gradient and the quality of care environment influence the average and the differences in psychometric domains of ASQ3 in preschoolers. Method: We assessed the psychometric parameters of all preschoolers enrolled in some of day cares in Vlora city, Albania using the ASQ3. We also assessed the quality of care environment according to ECERSR and the socioeconomic status upon the fathers occupation. Results: In the end of this research we found that not only a considerable percentage of preschoolers included in this study have psychomotor delays, but also that these delays and the average of psychomotor development have a significant relationship with the environment factors, as socioeconomic status and care environment. Conclusions: Children development depends more on instructing capacities of kindergartens staff than mothers. So the public health workers should work more with mothers in this direction, focusing in the lowest socioeconomic classes., Aurela Saliaj, Ermira Kola, Lorena Lazaj, Majlinda Rakipaj, Emiljana Çorraj, and Literatura
We have analyzed human resources in healthcare of Kazakhstan over 19852011, and determined general trends and regularities. By the level of provision with physicians, Kazakhstan ranks as one of the leaders in the world, at the same time there have been a deficit of physicians in the Republic over the last 20 years, particularly in rural areas. As per its regions, there is an irregularity in the physicians provision rate: the most part of specialists is concentrated in cities Almaty and Astana, there is a deficit of physicians in the Almaty, Коstanai, NorthKazakhstan and Jambyl Oblasts. The effective use of human resources will enable to optimize expenditure for the public health and to improve the medical service quality., Aikan Аkanov, Тilek Меimanaliev, Аizhan Кyzayeva, Ainur Кumar, Gulzhakhan Kashafutdinova, and Literatura
Za tři desetiletí se technika in vitro oplození proměnila z oboru, v který věřil jen málokdo, na techniku, která je pevnou součástí moderní medicíny. Obavy, které s ní byly spojovány, se nenaplnily. Naopak, in vitro oplození našlo uplatnění i tam, kde to nikdo nepředpokládal. V kombinaci s předimplantační genetickou diagnostikou se využívá jako prevence dědičných onemocnění. Potřeba oplození in vitro se ukázala i v zemích třetího světa, které se potýkají s důsledky populační exploze. V současnosti se rozvíjejí nové biotechnologie, které narážejí na odpor veřejnosti. Historie se opakuje. Jsou zdůrazňovány především jejich možná i ryze hypotetická rizika a mnohé jejich budoucí přínosy nejsou a za současného stavu poznání ani nemohou být předvídány. Rozvoj in vitro oplození nabízí lekci pro hodnocení nastupujících biotechnologií. Jejich výrazné omezení nebo dokonce zákaz by zjevně znamenaly pro budoucnost lidstva závažná omezení., During the past three decades, human in vitro fertilization (IVF) has changed from disdained technique to one which constitutes a respected branch of modern medicine. Concerns connected with human in vitro fertilization have not materialized. On the other hand, in vitro fertilization has demonstrated benefits in unexpected areas. When combined with techniques of molecular genetics such as preimplantation genetic diagnostics, it can prevent the occurrence of hereditary diseases. In vitro fertilization is greatly needed even in developing countries, despite the fact that the Third World is heavily confronted with the impacts of population explosion. At present, many new and promising biotechnologies are fighting strong opposition from the public. The history of human IVF recurs. Even hypothetical risks are emphasized, and many future benefits are not recognized or cannot be recognized at the present state of knowledge. The significant progress of human IVF provides us with a lesson for the evaluation of impending biotechnologies. The setting of rigid limits or imposing bans on new biotechnologies can significantly restrict the future prosperity of mankind., and Radko Rajmon, Miroslava Krejčová, Jaroslav Petr
Hymenální atrézie - potažmo její důsledky - je vzácnou příčinou bolestí v podbřišku u dospívajících dívek, snadno zaměnitelnou za chirurgickou etiologii obtíží. Gynekologické vyšetření dívek a žen před chirurgickou intervencí je nezbytnou součástí diagnostického algoritmu, v případě atrézie hymen tímto lze v některých případech předejít abdominálnímu operačnímu řešení obtíží. Tato kazuistika demonstruje překvapivý nález v dutině břišní u 15leté dívky s bolestmi břicha, primárně chirurgem operované pro diagnózu „akutní apendicitida“. Kromě klinického obrazu jsme v tomto případě byli svědky i poměrně nezvyklého nálezu laboratorního - extrémně vysoké hodnoty CA 125., Hymenal atresia – and its results in fact - is the rare cause of pelvic or abdominal pain in pubescent girls, which could be changed for surgical cause of ailment easily. Gynecologic examination should be a part of a diagnostic algorithm in women and young girls before every surgical intervention - we can avoid an abdominal operation in case of hymenal atresia. This case report demonstrates a surprising finding in 15 years old girl, which was primarily operated by surgeon for diagnosis „acute appendicitis“. In this particular case next to clinical findings there was an extremely high value of CA 125 marker in laboratory., Lukáš Straka, and Literatura
The aim of the study was to establish the frequency of hypovitaminosis D in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D), its influence on biochemical and densitometric parameters and the relation to diabetic nephropathy. 58 children with T1D at the age 9–19 years were enrolled to the study. Vitamin D concentration less than 30 ng/ml was considered as insufficient. 37 children (63.79%) had vitamin D level under 30 ng/ml, from these 19 subjects (32.7%) had vitamin D level under 20 ng/ml and 2 subjects (3.44%) under 10 ng/ml. Children with vitamin D deficiency had significantly lower magnesium concentration and lower Z score of lumbar spine (−1.34 ± 1.24 vs. −0.30 ± 1.21, p = 0.01) compared to diabetics with sufficient vitamin D concentration. No significant difference was found in parameters calcium, phosphorus or glycosylated hemoglobin. Patients with diabetic nephropathy (n = 18) showed no significant difference in vitamin D, glycosylated hemoglobin or Z score of lumbar spine compared to the patients without nephropathy (n = 40). Subjects with nephropathy had significantly longer diabetes duration, significantly higher cholesterol and triacylglycerol concentration. In our cohort of patients nearly two thirds of children had insufficient vitamin D concentration what supports the need to monitor and eventually supplement vitamin D in T1D subjects., Jarmila Vojtková, Miriam Čiljaková, Lenka Vojarová, Katarína Janíková, Zuzana Michnová, Veronika Šagiová, and Literatura 35
Prezentujeme kazuistiku pacientky s iatrogenní lézí levého močovodu, u které byla diagnóza stanovena po měsíci od gynekologické operace. Hlavními příznaky, kterých si pacientka všimla, byly zvětšující se objem břicha a difuzní bolesti v bříšní oblasti. I přes provedené CT-IVU diagnóza nebyla stanovena. Až senzitivnější ascendentní ureteropyelografie prokázala lézi močovodu. Při nejasnostech je vždy vhodné provedení nejcitlivější diagnostické metody, We present a case report of a patient with an iatrogenic lesion of the left ureter diagnosed one month after gynecological surgery. The main symptoms were abdominal distension and abdominal pain. A CT-IVP was not diagnostic. Only a subsequent reterograde urogram was more sensitive and demonstrated a ureteric lesion. It is always advisable to perform the most sensitive diagnostic methods when in doubt., Jakub Szewczyk, Jan Krhut, Henryk Fikoczek, Ivana Kalusková, and Literatura
Viral hepatitis B and C is a relevant issue because of high prevalence and degree of chronicity, late diagnosis and poor prognosis. Today, protein products of numerous genes are involved in the pathogenesis of viral pathology of the liver. In this review, the authors analysed 42 literature sources on genetic basis of susceptibility to various infectious diseases. Study of the role of immunogenetic factors is of great practical importance to develop methods for predicting outcomes of viral hepatitis., Khamid Karimov, Sevara Azimova, Bakhtiyor Iriskulov, and Literatura
We report the case of a 52year old man with severe acute pancreatitis. In this case report we discuss the undesirable effects of parenteral nutrition and the importance of nutritional support at patients with severe necrotizing pancreatitis. Severe acute pancreatitis is usually accompanied by systemic inflammatory response syndrome, which results in hypermetabolism with prominent protein catabolism. Providing nutrition to these patients is of paramount importance. An adequate nutritional support is crucial in patients with severe and complicated pancreatitis. A negative energy balance has a negative impact on the nutritional status and the disease progression., Shpata Vjollca, Kuneshka Loreta, Kurti Floreta, Ohri Ilir, and Literatura
