VZL 2008, 77(3):77-79
Clinical ophthalmology and its ergo-ophthalmological component, aviation ophthalmology, has developed very dynamicly during past 20 years. New display systems, operational, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures improve the therapeutic and preventive work of specialists and extend medical capability of aviation personnel even in a such serious illness as the glaucoma is. Diagnosing glaucoma has recently represented the loss of pilot's medical fitness.

Introduction: Czech field hospital acting in Kabul is situated in a place with high incidence of parasitic diseases. The aim of this article is to inform readers about the possibilities of diagnostics and treatment of patients with hydatic liver cystic disease.Case: A 25-year-old woman, an Afghan citizen, was admitted complaining of one-year lasting loss of appetite, weight and upper abdominal pain. Preoperative examinations proved Echinococcus cyst in the left liver lobe and solid formation in the right liver lobe. During the operation we found 2 cysts of diffeent age with an average diameter of 5 cm localized in mentioned sites. We carried out total...

Introduction: Lately eliminative methods have developed which enable an effective treatment of patients with acute liver failure (ALF) waiting for liver transplantation or spontaneous liver parenchyma regeneration.Aim of the study: To evaluate the effectiveness of non-biological method FPSA (Fractionated plasma separation and adsorption) in the treatment of experimental ALF on a big laboratory animal.Methods: Surgical model of ALF with liver devascularization in pigs weighting 25-40 kg was provided following monitoring of ALF markers (AST, ALT, bilirubin, ammonia, glycaemia, INR) including intracranial pressure (ICP). A control group without treatment...

Using conformal techniques and IMRT in radiotherapy allows sparing healthy tissues and escalation of the dose in target volume. In comparison with conventional techniques it requires more accuracy in the planning and application of the radiation dose. It is important to use all relevant diagnostic methods to decrease the risk of relapse or complications. CT examination still remains the basic method which allows to calculate the dose distribution. PET brings new dimensions which supplements the morphological image (CT or MRI) with a functional view.
Flow Cytometry As an Analytical and Selective Method. Part I

VZL 2008, 77(3):98-103
Permanent development of qualitative and quantitative analytical methods has currently resulted in a fast increase of knowledge in biomedicine. Such new approaches have enabled very detailed observations of processes on the cellular and molecular level and thus become useful in both, research and clinical practice including military medicine. Flow cytometry (FCM) is one of the highly progressive techniques with considerable technological development. Nowadays FCM represents a standard approach for a high speed analysis of particle (mostly mammalian cells) suspensions in terms of size, internal complexity and subset composition. The article deals with...

Lyme disease is a serious illness caused in Europe most frequently by Borrelia garinii. It is important to find information about protein content for understanding pathogenesis of Lyme disease. Proteome analysis is an important source of this information. We used 2-dimensional electrophoresis and mass spectrometry for identification of 63 chosen Borrelia garinii (strain CB61) protein spots. Overall 40 protein spots were identified however most of them occurred in several isoforms. Totally 16 different proteins were identified. Among them we identified several enzymes. Proteins that participate in enzootic cycle of pathogen are more interesting. They...

Phycotoxins and Some Less Known Marine Toxins

VZL 2008, 77(3):110-122
The marine microalgae producing the phycotoxins are common food for many marine animals which then themselves become toxic. In the recent years an enhanced attention has been paid to the phycotoxins because they penetrate into the fishery products through feed chains and they can cause intoxication in humans the therapy of which is very difficult. The danger concerning toxigenic microalgae is growing as a consequence of the enhanced migration of population and military missions into unstable regions of the world. These activities can cause severe health impairment of somatic and psychological character. The possibilities and importance of preventive...
