Segment from Československý zvukový týdeník Aktualita (Czechoslovak Aktualita Sound Newsreel) 1942, issue no. 18, from an event called National Health Week, organized by the Ministry of the Interior together with the Health Institute of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia on 3Ï10 May 1942. The official objective of the event was to highlight the importance of healthcare. The report discusses the establishment of anti-tuberculosis stations in a number of places in the Protectorate. Footage of height measurements and the weighing of patients. Examples of the use of an X-ray station in Moravská Ostrava. Footage showing handling of X-ray machines. A close-up of lung X-rays. The segment includes footage of X-ray vans used to care for child patients. Images from a solarium where children are treated using sunlamps.
Biological membrane mimetics, such as liposomes, lipid bilayers and model membranes, are used in a broad range of scientific and technological applications due to the unique physical properties of these amphiphilic aggregates. They serve as platforms for studying soft matter physics of membranes and membrane dynamics, interactions of bilayers with drugs, and effects of various additives of environmental changes. State-of-the-art research takes advantage of the combination of the brilliance of X-ray scattering sources with peculiar properties of neutrons and the power of computer simulations. The advances in chemistry, and in particular the possibility of deuteration, enables improved experimental spatial resolution and the ability to pi-point labels within membranes. It is only a matter of time for many biological functions, which occur at the membrane interface, to be matched with the structural properties of these membranes., Článok referuje o zákonitostiach stavby lipidových membrán a ich interakciách s biologicky aktívnymi molekulami. Vplyv iónov nachádzajúcich sa v prirodzenom prostredí bunkovej membrány, anestetický efekt alkánov a účinok cholesterolu a melatonínu pri zabudovaní do membrány je diskutovaný najmä z pohľadu zmeny štruktúry lipidovej matrice membrány. Štruktúrne výsledky sú získané pomocou experimentálnych prístupov, pričom dôraz sa kladie na pokrok dosiahnutý v metódach využívajúcich moderné zdroje röntgenového žiarenia a neutrónov., Norbert Kučerka., and Obsahuje bibliografii
