Účelem tohoto eseje je nastolení filosofického základu do myšlenek týkajících se finanční satisfakce v případě zásahu do osobnostních práv, a to zejména s ohledem na ty ze zásahů, které mají podobu zásahů do fyzické integrity člověka. Článek si před sebe klade několik otázek, na které chce nalézt odpovědi, případně pouze načrtnout možné úvahy, kterými by se měl soudci, ale i zákonodárci při interpretaci a tvorbě právních norem regulujících ochranu osobnosti a případnou finanční satisfakci zabývat. Autor se zabývá jednak filozofickou a bioetickou rovinou a komparací jednotlivých úprav v českém právním řádu a dále komparací se zahraničními úpravami, samozřejmě s ohledem na recentní právní literaturu i judikaturní závěry. Práce poukazuje na současné trendy v judikatuře ve věci kompenzace zásahů do fyzické integrity, ale zároveň se snaží poukázat na filozofické a etické základy konstrukce tohoto institutu. Závěrem by pak měly být zejména zdůrazněny jednotlivé systematické nedostatky a úvahy, jakým směrem by se de lege ferenda měla česká legislativa v této oblasti pohybovat., The purpose of this essay is to introduce a philosophical foundation into the ideas relating to financial satisfaction in the case of interference with personal rights, especially with respect to those of the interferences, which have a form of interferences with a physical integrity of a man. The article raises several questions, to which it wants to find answers, or merely outline potential considerations, which should be dealt with by both judges, as well as legislators during interpretation and development of legal rules regulating protection of personal rights and prospective financial satisfaction. The author is partly concerned with a philosophical and bioethical perspectives, partly with the comparison of individual regulations in the Czech legal order and furthermore with the comparison of foreign regulations, of course, with respect to recent legal literature and judicial decisions. In the conclusion, especially individual systematic deficiencies should be emphasized, as well as considerations, in what direction the designed law should proceed., Adam Doležal, and Literatura 22
Health System Financing and Organization in Moldova Moldova is one of the poorest countries in Europe. In the paper, main principles of health system in Moldova, financing, reimbursement and organization are described. The main source of health financing in Moldova is public health insurance. However, the part of population is not fully insured by public system. There are large differences in access to services between urban and rural areas., Jan Jaroš, Martin Dlouhý, and Literatura

Purpose: The aim of this phase III trial was to compare the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab alone with those of bevacizumab and capecitabine plus oxaliplatin (XELOX) as maintenance treatment following induction chemotherapy with XELOX plus bevacizumab in the first-line treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Patients and Methods: Patients were randomly assigned to receive six cycles of bevacizumab, capecitabine, and oxaliplatin every 3 weeks followed by XELOX plus bevacizumab or bevacizumab alone until progression. The primary endpoint was the progression-free survival (PFS) interval; secondary endpoints were the overall survival (OS) time, objective response rate (RR), time to response, duration of response, and safety. Results: The intent-to-treat population comprised 480 patients (XELOX plus bevacizumab, n = 239; bevacizumab, n = 241); there were no significant differences in baseline characteristics. The median follow-up was 29.0 months (range, 0–53.2 months). There were no statistically significant differences in the median PFS or OS times or in the RR between the two arms. The most common grade 3 or 4 toxicities in the XELOX plus bevacizumab versus bevacizumab arms were diarrhea, hand–foot syndrome, and neuropathy. Conclusion: Although the noninferiority of bevacizumab versus XELOX plus bevacizumab cannot be confirmed, we can reliably exclude a median PFS detriment >3 weeks. This study suggests that maintenance therapy with singleagent bevacizumab may be an appropriate option following induction XELOX plus bevacizumab in mCRC patients., Eduardo Díaz-Rubio, Auxiliadora Gómez-España, Bartomeu Massutí, Javier Sastre, Albert Abad, Manuel Valladares, Fernando Rivera, Maria J.Safont, Purificación Martínez De Prado, Manuel Gallén, Encarnación González, Eugenio Marcuello, Manuel Benavides, Carlos Fernández-Martos, Ferrán Losa, Pilar Escudero, Antonio Arrivi, Andrés Cervantes, Rosario Dueñas, Amelia López-Ladrón, Adelaida Lacasta, Marta Llanos, Jose M.

Zlomeniny v dětském věku se liší od zlomenin dospělých. Kost je u dětí pružná, roste do délky, má velkou remodelační schopnost. U dětí se vyskytuje například suprakondylická fraktura, která se v dospělosti nevyskytuje. Vedle skiagramu, CT, MR vyšetření je možné i UZ vyšetření poranění, zejména u neosifikovaného skeletu. Zlomeniny lze u dětí rozdělit do několika typů: porodní traumata, fraktury batolat, epifyzeolýzy, inkompletní fraktury, suprakondylické zlomeniny., Fractures in children differ from fractures in adults. The bones are more flexible in children, grow in lenght, has good remodeling ability. Some fractures are typical in childhood, do not occur in adults (supracondylar fracture), Besides X-rays, CT, MRI, the ultrasound examination of the trauma is also possible, especially in nonossified skeleton. Fractures in children can be divided into some types: birth (delivery) trauma, toddlers fractures, epiphyseolysis, incomplete fractures, stress fractures, supracondylar fractures., Jarmila Skotáková, Vladimír Bartl, Marcela Charvátová, Zdeňka Ráčilová, Lucie Dohnalová, and Literatura
Předmětem této pilotní studie je verifi kace vlivu pozitivních emocí na motorické učení prostřednictvím vizuálního feedbacku formou hry ve virtuálním prostředí u pacientů po iktu. Pilotního měření se zúčastnili 3 pacienti po cévní mozkové příhodě, kteří absolvovali dvoutýdenní terapii formou hry ve virtuálním prostředí. U každého pacienta byla hodnocena před a po terapii posturální stabilita a hrubá motorika paretické horní končetiny pomocí standardizovaného klinického testování (Berg Balance Scale, Action Research Arm Test) i přístrojového vyšetření (dynamická počítačová posturografi e). Z výsledků hodnocení pacientů je zřejmý pozitivní efekt terapie na posturální stabilitu a koordinaci. Hru ve virtuálním prostředí považujeme za vhodný doplněk komplexního fyzioterapeutického přístupu u vybraných pacientů po cévní mozkové příhodě. Vzhledem k výsledkům naší pilotní studie jsou žádoucí další měření zabývající se touto problematikou., This pilot study aims to objectively verify the infl uence of positive emotions on motor learning through visual feedback in the form of games in a virtual environment in individuals aft er a stroke. In this pilot study, we evaluated three stroke patients. They completed a two-week intensive therapy by means of playing virtual games. Postural stability was assessed in every patient before and aft er the therapy, as well as gross motor skills of paretic upper limb by both clinical (Berg Balance Scale, Action Research Arm Test) and instrumental (Dynamic Computed Posturography) testing. The evaluation of patients showed signifi cant positive eff ect of game based therapy on postural stability and coordination. Therefore, playing games in a virtual environment might be considered a suitable addition to the complex of physiotherapeutic approach in patients aft er stroke. In accordance with our pilot measurements, further extension of this study might be useful., Barbora Kolářová, Radek Eliáš, Petra Bastlová, and Literatura 20
An eight-month-old male child was admitted with weakness and swelling in the feet. Paraparesis and bilateral lower extremity edema were present in the neurological examination. Thoracic MRI showed an intradural intramedullary mass 61 × 11 mm in size in the T5–T10 levels. Laminotomy between the T5–T10 vertebrae was performed. A mass with smooth borders was separated from most of the neural tissue. In the postoperative MRI, we observed a contrast enhancing area, considered a residual fragment, only 5 × 4 mm in size. Histopathological properties were compatible with the intermixed subtype of ganglioneuroblastoma. Only a limited number of thoracic cord Ganglioneuroblastoma reports have been previously published. Although very rare in children and young adults, ganglioneuroblastoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of thoracic cord tumors. It is difficult to obtain a preoperative diagnosis with clinical features and radiological investigations. Diagnosis depends on histopathological examinations. Curative treatment should be in the form of a complete resection of the tumor. In partially resected cases, adjuvant radiotherapy may become necessary, along with close follow-up., Bekir Akgun, Deniz Ates, Metin Kaplan, and Literatura 5
Motivation. Our previous study showed differences in the atherosclerosis phenotype between Lithuanian and Swedish men that could be influenced by complementary factors, namely oxidation processes and/or oxidative stress. The goal of this study was to evaluate the mainstream biological pathways inducing and maintaining the atherosclerotic process by analyzing genetic biomarkers particularly in inflammatory and metabolic pathways where the main focus is laid on the oxidation process. Methods. There were 32 families recruited for the study and clinical as well as biochemical analyses were performed. For genetic analysis 150 SNPs in 89 genes were selected in order to construct a microarray based on Arrayed Primer Extension (APEX) genotyping technology. Genotyping was carried out in 28 families and transmission disequilibrium test (TDT), siblingTDT (STDT), and combined analysis were performed. Results. Clinical and biochemical analysis revealed that probands with premature CAD were more likely to have diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia and were male with high body mass index. Genetic analysis showed six SNPs statistically significantly associated with the atherosclerosis phenotype in the candidate genes ITGA2, IL1B, ALOX5A, OR13G1, MMP9 and NFKB1. These genes belong to different biological pathways: trombocyte adhesion and vessel damage, inflammation response, cholesterol and lypoxygenase metabolic pathway and nutrition. Conclusions. Generalized clinical, biochemical, bioinformatical and candidate genes association results support our hypothesis and indicate that the oxidation process may be of key importance in the formation of atherosclerosis., Ingrida Pepalyte, Zita Aušrele Kučinskiene, Kristina Grigalioniene, Žaneta Petrulioniene, Vilma Dženkevičiute, Loreta Bagdonaite, Vaidutis Kučinskas, and Literatura
Background: Despite the fact that the genetic basis of schizophrenia has been intensively studied for more than two decades, our contemporary knowledge in this field is rather fractional, and a substantial part of it is still missing. The aim of this review article is to sum up the data coming from genome‑wide association genetic studies in schizophrenia, and indicate prospective directions of further scientific endeavour. Methods: We searched the National Human Genome Research Institute’s Catalog of genome‑wide association studies for schizophrenia to identify all papers related to this topic. In consequence, we looked up the possible relevancy of these findings for etiology and pathogenesis of schizophrenia using the computer gene and PubMed databases. Results: Eighteen genome‑wide association studies in schizophrenia have been published till now, referring to fifty‑seven genes supposedly involved into schizophrenia’s etiopathogenesis. Most of these genes are related to neurodevelopment, neuroendocrinology, and immunology. Conclusions: It is reasonable to predict that complex studies of sufficiently large samples, involving detection of copy number variants and assessment of endophenotypes, will produce definitive discoveries of genetic risk factors for schizophrenia in the future., Ladislav Hosák, Petr Šilhan, Jiřina Hosáková, and Literatura 48
Pro hemodialyzované pacienty, u kterých byl diagnostikován diferencovaný karcinom štítné žlázy, může mít zásadní význam léčba 131I. Diagnóza nádorového onemocnění tyto pacienty vyřazuje z registru čekatelů pro transplantaci ledviny do doby, než bude prokázána 3-5letá remise. Jelikož je 131I vylučován z těla převážně ledvinami, je efektivní poločas 131I u pacientů s renálním selháním prodloužen. To je důvod, proč by měla být redukována podávaná léčebná aktivita, aby došlo ke snížení radiační zátěže především pro krvetvornou kostní dřeň. Prezentujeme kazuistiku 48letého muže v terminálním renálním selhání, léčeného 131I pro papilární karcinom štítné žlázy. Terapeutické aktivity jsme snížili o 30 %. Hemodialýza byla prováděna po podání léčebné aktivity 131I na lůžkové části kliniky nukleární medicíny. 131I je dialyzovatelný a po každé dialýze klesla zbytková aktivita o 33-67 %. Radiační zátěž personálu hemodialyzačního centra byla minimální. Dialýza pacienta léčeného 131I nezpůsobila kontaminaci dialyzačního přístroje., x, Pavel Širůček, Lubomír Mrhač, Martin Havel, Gabriela Havlová, Otakar Kraft, Šárka Dočkalová, Renata Olšanská, and Literatura 8
