The segment from the 1942 Český zvukový týdeník Aktualita (Czech Aktualita Sound Newsreel) Issue No. 18 features the event Týden národního zdraví (A Week for National Health) organised by The Ministry of the Interior and The Health Institute of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia from 3 to 10 May 1942. The official goal of the event was to advocate for the importance of healthcare. The report covers the establishment of anti-tuberculosis stations in a number of places around the Protectorate. Footage of the measuring of body height and weight of patients. A showcase of how an X-ray station in Moravská Ostrava operates. Footage of doctors working with X-ray machines. A close-up of an X-ray image of the lungs. The segment includes footage of mobile X-ray cars set up for the treatment of child patients. Footage from a solarium intended for irradiating children with 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
