Bronchial asthma and obesity is among a group of multietiologic complex diseases which influence each other in their origin, and development. The impact on the patient‘s quality of life and prognosis is significant, health costs included. Because of the increasing prevalence worldwide, there has been an increase in the amount of studies dealing with reciprocal associations between asthma and obesity., Jana Kryštofová, Miloš Jeseňák, Peter Bánovčin, and Literatura 39
The problem of prophylaxis of incompetence of bronchial stump and bronchial fistula is many sided. Notwithstanding the development of new technologies, perfection of surgical technique, its frequency still remains on high level that persistently requests the search of new ways for resolving this problem, which preserved its topicality till nowadays. We have found that: The most efficiency of BFS is achieved during treatment of bronchial fistulas with diameter up to 3 mm and with effectiveness at 83.2% patients after rightside PE and at 92.3% patients after leftside PE. In case of BPF with diameter more than 3 mm the number of satisfactory results of BFS reaches only 33.3%. but, it is necessary to mention that among patients with BPF sized over 3 mm after leftside PE the effectiveness of BFS significantly exceeds as general index (50.0% against 33.3%) so after rightside PE (50.0% against 25.0%)., F.

Programy externího hodnocení kvality očekává celá řada změn. Ty jsou podmíněny zejména dvěma faktory. Prvním z nich je změna akreditační normy pro organizátory programů EHK. Namísto dřívějších ISO Guide 34 a ILAC-G-13 nastupuje modernější nová norma ISO 17043. Pro praxi EHK to znamená rozšíření pracovního záběru z dosavadních dominantních analytických mezilaboratorních srovnávání také na hodnocení preanalytických a postanalytických fází. Dále se počítá s významným zvýšením edukačního charakteru programů a s používáním podrobnějších kritických komentářů výsledků. Koncepčně vychází novelizované pojetí EHK z metrologie, a tedy z akcentu na metrologickou návaznost a nejistoty měření, filosoficky ze snahy učinit z programů EHK nástroj zlepšené péče o pacienta a z výsledků EHK jeden z pracovních nástrojů managementu rizika zdravotní péče. Proces novelizace programů EHK se neobejde bez prověření stavu cílových hodnot, kontrolních limitů a komutability používaných kontrolních materiálů., In near future we can expect some significant changes in performance of external quality assessment programs. These changes are conditioned namely by two factors. Firstly, by introducing the new standard ISO 17043 into practice use, and secondly by the change of quality control from classical control to tool of patients risk management. What does it all means for performance of EQA? Introducing the preanalytical and postanalytical as part of EQA programs. Intensification of their educational potential is expected. Much larger application of two essential parts of metrology-traceability and uncertainty is involved in EQA programs. Expected changes in EQA should begin by auditing respectively corrections of target values and particularly by control limits values., Friedecký B., Kratochvíla J., and Lit.: 24
The authors present the case of a young woman with newly diagnosed Takayasu’s arteritis. This woman, with arterial hypertension, was investigated for the unspecific symptoms at the beginning. Afterwards, the transthoracic echocardiography showed dysfunction of the left ventricle and the abdominal sonography showed a stenosis of the right renal artery. PET/CT scan showed chronic modification after inflammatory processes on the wall of the thoracic and abdominal aorta. This case report should be instructive to other clinicians and refers to the necessity to remember this rare disease in our country too., Lucie Horáková, Radek Pudil, Zbyněk Hrnčíř, Jaroslav Vižďa, and Literatura 8
Ruptured pregnancy in the rudimentary horn of women who have had a vaginal delivery is rare and unpredictable. However, when undiagnosed, this condition could lead to maternal morbidity and mortality. We report a pregnancy at 19 weeks gestation presented with acute abdomen and hypovolemic shock. She was initially thought to have an intrauterine pregnancy with the provisional diagnosis of a ruptured uterus. Intraoperatively, a ruptured non-communicating right rudimentary horn with ex utero pregnancy was discovered., Che Hasnura Che Hassan, Abdul Kadir Abdul Karim, Nor Azlin Mohamed Ismail, Mohd Hashim Omar, and Literatura 6
The subject of work is the development of Czech health care law in the past 20 years in the context of (1) Czechoslovak and Czech social change, (2) the development of international human rights interpretations related to health. The goal is evaluation of the Czech health care law in the individual developmental stages and their compliance with human rights related to health. Running away from the Czech health care law framework of human rights and its substitution by a positive concept of patients‘ rights is accompanied by efforts to reduce human rights protection mechanisms at the Constitutional Court („euroamendment“ of the Czech Constitution in 2001). Major changes in medical law in relation to human rights brings the current changes in health care reform (2011 - Health Reform I and II. Phase)., Petr Háva, Pavla Mašková, Tereza Teršová, and Literatura
