V letech 1995–2014 monitorovala situaci v oblasti léčby uživatelů nelegálních psychoaktivních látek v České republice (dále jen ČR) hygienická služba ČR. Z longitudinálního sledování a analýzy dat vyplynuly dlouhodobé trendy ve vývoji epidemiologické situace abúzu návykových látek v celé ČR i v jednotlivých krajích. Spolu se základními epidemiologickými charakteristikami byly hodnoceny také sociodemografické ukazatele. Získané výsledky vypovídají o rostoucím trendu v počtu žádostí o léčbu v české populaci uživatelů drog. Skupina uživatelů opiátů v léčbě pozvolna stárne. Dlouhodobě nejvíce preferovanou užívanou nelegální drogou je metamfetamin aplikovaný injekčně. V průběhu sledovaných let se preference jednotlivých psychoaktivních látek postupně měnila. Preferenci opiátů vystřídaly u prvožadatelů o léčbu kanabinoidy. Nejvyšším stupněm dosaženého vzdělání u uživatelů návykových látek v léčbě je vzdělání základní, z hlediska zaměstnání převažují nezaměstnaní. Během sledovaného období došlo k navýšení průměrného věku mezi všemi léčenými klienty o 5,5 roku. Nejvyšší prevalenci žádostí o léčbu vykazovaly ve sledovaném období kraje Ústecký, Olomoucký, Praha a kraj Vysočina., The treatment demand indicator is one of five key indicators of drug epidemiology. Over the years 1995–2014 the Public Health Service of the Czech Republic monitored users of illegal psychoactive substances under treatment. From a longitudinal observation and analysis of data epidemiological trends in drug abuse in the Czech Republic and its individual regions were characterized. Along with basic characteristics of drug use, risk behaviour and related treatment socio-demographic indicators were also evaluated. Results of this monitoring indicate an increasing trend in the number of treatment demands in the Czech population of drug users. Opiates users under treatment are slowly getting older. The most preferably used illegal drug is methamphetamine administered by injection. Over the years, the preferences for seeking different psychoactive substances gradually changed. Opiates were replaced by cannabinoids in users first treatment. The highest level of education attained by treated drug users is primary education. In terms of employment the unemployed predominate. During the reporting period there was an increase of about 5.5 years in the average age among all treatment clients. The highest prevalence of drug treatment demand was found in regions Ústí, Olomouc, Praha and Vysočina., Anna Füleová, Barbora Petrášová, and Literatura
V databázi Globocan 2008 (IARC) bylo za rok 2008 z celosvětového počtu 12,663 milionů nových nádorů odhadováno 2,445 milionů v EU, ze 7,565 milionů zemřelých téměř 1,235 milionů v EU a z pětileté prevalence 28,8 milionů asi 6,617 milionů v EU. Početnější prevalence se týkala ve světě 18 % nádorů prsů, 11 % kolorekta, 11 % prostaty, 6 % plic, 5,5 % žaludku, 5,5 % cervixu, 4 % měchýře a 4 % dělohy, v EU 20 % ZN prsů, 14 % kolorekta, 18 % prostaty, 5 % plic, 4 % melanomu, 3 % ledvin, 3 % dělohy a 3 % NH lymfomu. V roce 2030 mohou počty nových nádorů dosáhnout ve světě 21 milionů případů, v EU 3 miliony, v ČR 93 tisíc (dg. C00-D09). Z předběžných celkových výdajů 288 572 mil. Kč na zdravotnictví za rok 2011 uhradily zdravotní pojišťovny 217 653 mil., z toho 19 217 mil. na onkologii. V letech 1990–2011 vzrostly celkové náklady na zdravotnictví o 257 534 mil. Kč s podílem 7,58 % na hrubém domácím produktu. Průměrné výdaje VZP na léčbu jednoho nádoru v roce 2010 dosáhly 19 030 Kč s nejvyššími náklady u novotvarů mízní a krvetvorné tkáně, mozku a CNS, trávicího ústrojí, úst a hltanu, dýchacích cest. Výkonnost globální ekonomiky nedosahuje potřebných prostředků na zdravotnictví. Český veřejný dluh překračuje 1 680 miliard Kč v době dokončení tohoto článku. I když celkové výdaje obyvatel na zdravotní péči rostou, zdá se, že jeho pokračující zadlužování zvýší také dluhy nemocnic a zdravotních pojišťoven. Dostupné počty nádorů a výdajů na zdravotnictví a jejich zvyšování potvrzují nutnost důsledné prevence rakoviny, efektivní přidělování a využívání prostředků na zdravotní péči., In 2008 (Globocan 2008; IARC), 12.663 million new cancer cases occurred worldwide and, of them, 2.445 million in the EU. Of 7.565 million global cancer deaths, nearly 1.235 million cases were in the EU, and from five-year cancer prevalence estimates of 28.8 million worldwide, almost 6.617 million concerned the EU. The cancer prevalence statistics included: breast, 18 %; colorectum, 11%; prostate, 11 %; lungs, 6 %; stomach, 5.5 %; cervix, 5.5 %; bladder, 4 %; uterus, 4 % round the world; and breast, 20 %; colorectum, 14 %; prostate, 18 %; lungs, 5 %; melanoma, 4 %; kidney, 3 %; uterus, 3 %; and NH lymphoma, 3 % in the EU. In 2030 the expected number can reach more than 21 million worldwide, 3 million in the EU and 93,000 new cases in the Czech Republic (all sites ICD-10: C00-D09). Here preliminary total health care expenditures in 2011 were 288,572 million CZK; of these, health insurance companies covered 217,653 million, with 19,217 million per one cancer treatment. Between 1990 and 2011, the total health expenditures increased by 257,534 million CZK, accounting for 7.58 % of the gross domestic product. In 2010 the General Health Insurance Company paid on average 19,030 CZK for the treatment of one cancer case, with the highest expenditures for neoplasms of the lymphoid and haemotopoietic tissues, brain and central nervous system, digestive organs, oral cavity and pharynx, and respiratory organs. The global economic performance cannot provide enough resources for public health care. The Czech public debt exceeded 1,680 billion CZK at the time this article was written. Although out-of-pocket money paid by cancer patients for treatment is growing, the continuing public indebtedness is likely to increase debts of hospitals and health insurance companies. The estimated growing numbers of cancer patients and related costs of their treatment call for consistent cancer prevention measures and effective allocation and utilization of health care resources., Edvard Geryk, Petr Kosška, Teodor Horváth, Václav Živec, and Literatura
Z 20 855 nádorů hlavy a krku (HNC), uvedených v registru nádorů ČR v letech 1976–2005 bylo 4 912 vícečetných případů, z toho 3 679 (74,9 %) u mužů a 1 233 (25,1 %) u žen, tj. ze všech hlášených HNC bylo 17,6 % případů u mužů a 19,5 % u žen spojeno s výskytem dalšího nádoru. U mužů bylo 56,3 % primárních a 43,7 % následných HNC, u žen 43,8 % a 56,2 %. Počet primárních HNC rostl během první dekády a pak klesal, počet následných HNC trvale rostl. Ze 14 krajů se vyskytlo 51,6 % vícečetných HNC v pěti krajích (Moravskoslezský, Jihomoravský, Praha, Jihočeský, Středočeský). Nejvíce bylo 28,8 % vícečetných nádorů rtů, 11,9 % tonzil a 11,1 % příušní žlázy. Po primárních 2 070 HNC u mužů se vyskytlo 2 436 následných novotvarů za průměrnou dobu 6,7 roku, po primárních 540 HNC u žen 649 dalších novotvarů za 6,9 roku. Z 425 synchronních případů bylo nejvíc nádorů dýchacího systému, kůže a jiných HNC, z 2 660 metachronních případů nádory kůže, dýchacího a trávicího systému. Následným 2 302 HNC předcházelo 2 858 jiných novotarů, nejvíce kůže, dýchacího systému a jiných lokalizací HNC. Očekávané nižší zastoupení pokročilých klinických stadií se nepotvrdilo. Z 2 436 následných novotvarů u mužů a 649 u žen bylo hlášeno po primárních časných stadiích HNC 16,1 % mužů a 18,6 % žen v následném stadiu I, II, 10,7 % mužů a 7,8 % žen ve stadiu III, IV; po pokročilých primárních stadiích HNC bylo 8,2 % mužů a 6,5 % žen v následném stadiu I, II, 8,9 % mužů a 5,2 % žen ve stadiu III, IV; nehlášená stadia představovala u mužů 56,1 %, u žen 61,9 %. Všech 729 dalších pokročilých nádorů (606 mužů, 123 žen) představovalo 3,5 % nemocných s primárním HNC, evidovaných v registru za 30 let, což bylo asi 1 540 nemocných s HNC, postižených dalším pokročilým nádorem z 43 850 HNC za 50 let. K říjnu 2007 přežívalo z primárních HNC 14,7 % mužů a 20,6 % žen a zemřelo 85,3 % mužů a 79,4 % žen. V roce 2015 bude v ČR léčeno téměř 8 tisíc přežívajících s HNC, část z nich s vícečetnými nádory. Naplní se jejich očekávané počty?, A total of 20,855 head and neck cancers (HNC), based in the Czech Cancer Registry in 1976–2005, there were notificated 4,912 multiple cancers, of which were 3,679 (74.9 %) in males and 1,233 (25.1 %) in females, i.e. 17.6 % cases in males and 19.5 % in females of total HNC, affected by other neoplasms. There were 56.3 % primary and 43.7 % subsequent HNC in males, 43.8 % and 56.2 % in females. The number of primary HNC incerased during the first decade and then decreased, the number of subsequent HNC increased steadily. A total of 14 Czech regions were distributed 51.6 % multiple HNC in five regions (Northern and Southern Moravia, Prague, Southern and Central Bohemia). The most frequent were 28.8 % multiple cancers of lips, 11.9 % of tonsils, 11.1 % of parotid gands. The primary 2,070 HNC in males were followed by 2,436 other neoplasms in the average interval 6.7 years; the primary 540 HNC in females were followed by 649 other neoplasms in males in the average interval 6.9 years. The most frequent diagnoses of 425 synchronous cases were cancers of respiratory tract, skin and other HNC, of 2,660 metachronous cases were cancers of skin, respiratory and digestive tract. The subsequent 2.302 HNC were preceded by 2.858 other neoplasms with the most frequent cancers of skin, respiratory tract and other HNC. The expected low representation of advanced clinical stages was not confirmed. Of 2,436 subsequent neoplasms in males and 649 in females were registered after early HNC stages in 16.1 % males and 18.6 % females of stages I, II, in 10.7 % males and 7.8 % females of stages III, IV; after advanced HNC stages were in 8.2 % males and 6.5% females of stages I, II, in 8.9 % males and 5.2 % females of stages III, IV; the unknown stages represented 56.1 % in males and 61.9 % in females of subsequent neoplasms. All 729 subsequent advanced cancers (606 males, 123 females) represented 3.5 % of total registered cases of HNC during 30 years and about 1,540 patients with HNC affected by other subsequent cancer of 43,850 HNC based in the Czech Cancer Registry during half-century. Up to Oct. 2007, of the primary HNC 14.7 % males and 20.6 % females survived, and those 85.3 % males and 79.4 % females died. Nearly 8,000 patients is estimated to be treated for HNC, some of them with multiple cancers, in the Czech Republic in 2015.

BACKGROUND: Latitude gradients and secular trends in Europe and North America have been found in the male-female ratio at birth (M/F: male births divided by total births) which approximates 0.515. METHODS: Annual national data for Yugoslavia and the post-Yugoslavia States for male and female live births were obtained from the World Health Organisation and analysed with contingency tables. RESULTS: This study analysed 22,020,729 live births. There was a increasing trend in M/F prior to the breakup of the former Yugoslavia (1950-1990, p = 0.002), followed by a decreasing trend after 1990 (p = 0.02). A latitude gradient was also noted, with more males being born in southern, warmer latitudes (p < 0.0001). There was an overall excess of 42,753 male births based on an anticipated M/F of 0.515. CONCLUSION: M/F is decreasing in this region, similar to the rest of Europe and North America. A latitude gradient is also present with more males being born in warmer (more Southern) latitudes (p < 0.0001), even in this small region and over the short time-frame studied. and V. Grech
INTRODUCTION: The male:female ratio at birth (male births divided by total live births - M/T) has been shown to increase in response to ionizing radiation due to gender-biased fetal loss, with excess female loss. M/T rose sharply in 1987 in central-eastern European countries following the Chernobyl accident in 1986. This study analyses M/T and births for the former Soviet Republics and for the countries most contaminated by the event. METHODS: Annual birth data was obtained from the World Health Organisation. The countries with the highest exposure levels (by 137Cs) were identified from an official publication of the International Atomic Energy Agency. All of the former Soviet states were also analysed and the periods before and after 1986 were compared. RESULTS: Except for the Baltic States, all regions in the former USSR showed a significant rise in M/T from 1986. There were significant rises in M/T in the three most exposed (Belarus, Ukraine and the Russian Federation). The birth deficit in the post-Soviet states for the ten years following Chernobyl was estimated at 2,072,666, of which 1,087,924 are accounted by Belarus and Ukraine alone. DISCUSSION: Chernobyl has resulted in the loss of millions of births, a process that has involved female even more than male fetuses. This is another and oft neglected consequence of widespread population radiation contamination. and V. Grech
The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of musculoskeletal problems among Czech dentists and to analyze the factors that affect these disorders. Information was gathered through questionnaire completed by 581 physicians. The questionnaire ascertained general information about physicians including their work habits and the characteristics of their work environment along with the occurrence of musculoskeletal problems as well as their intensity. In the past year the occurrence of at least mild difficulties associated with the locomotive system was reported by 96.9% of dentists surveyed (n = 557), with 66.3% of respondents (n = 381) reporting difficulties ofa moderate or major nature. Most respondents of both sexes indicated neck pain. A statistically significant correlation with the occurrence of musculoskeletal complaints of medium and major intensity was demonstrated for the following factors: sex, age, running a private practice, past injury or musculoskeletal diseases, and the perception of work as psychologically demanding. Musculoskeletal disorders in dentists in Czech Republic are relatively frequent and serious health problem. The causes of these diseases must be identified and appropriate preventive interventions undertaken that will contribute to a reduction in the incidence of these problems. and Z. Sustová, L.

This work presents a summary of current knowledge on the laboratory diagnosis of periodontitis. It focuses on the theoretical foundations and is supplemented with new knowledge. It subsequently describes specifically the laboratory diagnosis methods of periodontitis: the protein expression of inflammation, oral microbiology and molecular diagnostics. Periodontitis is a serious disease worldwide and its confirmed association with systemic diseases means its severity is increasing. Its laboratory diagnosis has the potential to rise to the level of clinical and diagnostic imaging. The transfer of diagnostic methods from laboratory to clinical use is increasingly used in the prevention and monitoring of the exacerbation and treatment of periodontal disease, as well as of its impact on systemic disease. and B.
