63letý pacient, hypertonik, celoživotní kuřák, byl na kliniku TRN FN Plzeň přijat pro tumor pravé plíce zjištěný pro bolesti v pravém hemitoraxu. Na základě stážování byla stanovena diagnóza adenokarcinomu pravé plíce s generalizací do obou plic a levé nadledviny, st. IV. Byla zahájena chemoterapie Paclitaxel (200 mg/m2) – Carboplatina (AUC) – Avastin (15 mg/kg) v rámci studie SAIL firmy Roche s velmi dobrou tolerancí. Po 3. cyklu chemoterapie byla potvrzena parciální remise dle CT hrudníku, dále pokračováno ve stejném schématu chemoterapie s Avastinem do 6. cyklu. Kontrolní CT hrudníku prokázalo další regresi tumoru. Vzhledem k velmi dobrému efektu podávané léčby bylo dále pokračováno v monoterapii Avastinem v třítýdenních intervalech zatím do 22 cyklů. Po 22 měsících léčby s Avastinem bylo dosaženo trvající parciální remise nálezu dle PET/CT trupu, pacient je klinicky zcela bez potíží, neomezen v běžném životě, tedy s velmi dobrou kvalitou života (KS 90 bodů), bez vedlejších nežádoucích účinků Avastinu. Chemoterapie již nemá potenciál pro další prodlužování přežití, je tedy potřebné hledání nových léčebných strategií. Avastin jako inhibitor angiogeneze vede poprvé k prodloužení celkového přežití nad 12 měsíců. Významné prodloužení přežití bez progrese onemocnění (PFS) umožňuje delší přežití bez zhoršení symptomů., A 63-year-old hypertensive patient, a life-long smoker, presented to the Department of Tuberculosis and Respiratory Disease of the Plzeň Teaching Hospital with a right-lung tumour detected due to pain in the right hemithorax. Based on staging, a diagnosis of stage IV right lung adenocarcinoma with generalization into both lungs and the left adrenal gland was made. Chemotherapy with Paclitaxel (200 mg/m2) – Carboplatin (AUC) – Avastin (15 mg/kg) was initiated within the SAIL study of the Roche company with very good tolerance. Following the third chemotherapy cycle, partial remission was confirmed based on CT of the chest; the same chemotherapy regimen with Avastin was continued for six cycles. Follow-up CT of the chest revealed further tumour regression. Given the very good effect of the treatment administered, monotherapy with Avastin was continued in three-week intervals for 22 cycles so far. Following 22 months of Avastin treatment, sustained partial remission was achieved according to PET/CT of the trunk; the patient is clinically free of complaints, without limitations in everyday life, thus with a very good quality of life (KS of 90) and free of adverse effects of Avastin. Chemotherapy has no more potential for further extension of survival; therefore, new therapeutic strategies have to be looked for. As an angiogenesis inhibitor, Avastin leads to an extension of overall survival beyond 12 months. A significant extension of progression-free survival (PFS) enables longer survival without deterioration of symptoms., Radka Bittenglová, Miloš Pešek, and Lit.: 2
In this paper, we prove and discuss averaging results for ordinary differential equations perturbed by a small parameter. The conditions we assume on the right-hand sides of the equations under which our averaging results are stated are more general than those considered in the literature. Indeed, often it is assumed that the right-hand sides of the equations are uniformly bounded and a Lipschitz condition is imposed on them. Sometimes this last condition is relaxed to the uniform continuity in the second variable uniformly with respect to the first one. In our results, we assume only that the right-hand sides of the equations are bounded by some locally Lebesgue integrable functions with the property that their indefinite integrals satisfy a Lipschitz-type condition. Also, we consider that they are only continuous in the second variable uniformly with respect to the first one.
This paper examines the possibility and the desirability of axiomatization in law. In the first part, the paper examines the notion of axiom and the ways how it was or could be introduced into law. It is here where the authors openly invite the reader to lose the conventional approach and think about alternative ways to build basic legal concepts. In the second part, the paper continues by presenting several theories which endeavored (or appeared to endeavor) to show that law can (and should be) axiomatized and which even attempted to axiomatize it. After establishing whether these theories were successful at all, the authors add some of their own ideas on the topic of axiomatization., Martin Madej, Filip Horák., and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy
