Possibilities of Physiotherapy After Trauma in the Ankle Area

Obecná část bakalářské práce obsahuje teoretické poznatky o skeletu a muskulatuře bérce a nohy. V části traumatologie je popsána její obecná část a následně rozčleněny jednotlivé zlomeniny a poranění v oblasti hlezna. Dále jsou uvedeny informace o terapii zlomenin a jejich operativní řešení v případě dislokovaných fraktur. Samostatnou kapitolou je metodika, jejímž úkolem je popsat veškeré diagnostické a terapeutické postupy, které byly použity v praktické části. Speciální část se skládá ze čtyř kazuistik jednotlivých pacientů. Obsahuje kompletní vstupní kineziologické rozbory a jednotlivé terapeutické jednotky, které jsem s pacienty absolvovala. Kapitola Výsledky popisuje výstupní kineziologické rozbory a průběh terapie a zhodnocují efektivitu samotné terapie.The general part of this thesis contains the theoretical findings about the skeleton and musculature of the lower leg and foot. The part focused on the traumatology describes the non-specific part and subsequently the various kinds of fractures and other injuries in the area of an ankle. Furthermore, information on the therapy of fractures and their surgical solution in the case of dislocated fractures is included. Methodology is a separate chapter, the purpose of which is to describe all diagnostic and therapeutic procedures used in the practical part of the thesis. The special part consists of four case studies of separate patients. It contains the complete entry kinesiologic examination and the description of all ten therapy units that patients took part in. The chapter Results describes the final kinesiologic examination and the course of therapy and assesses the effectiveness of the therapy itself

An Outbreak of Trichophyton quinckeanum Zoonotic Infections in the Czech Republic Transmitted from Cats and Dogs

Trichophyton quinckeanum, a zoophilic dermatophyte mostly known as the causative agent of rodent favus, is relatively rarely reported to cause human infections. Indeed, no infections were detected in Czechia between 2012 and 2015 despite routine verification of species identification by ITS rDNA sequencing. By contrast, 25 human and 11 animal cases of infection were documented from December 2016 to December 2020 and the rates tended to grow every following year. Interestingly, most of the cases were reported in the Olomouc region, suggesting a local outbreak. We bring the evidence that human T. quinckeanum infections are most commonly contracted from infected cats or, less frequently, dogs. Although rodents or contaminated soil and environment could be the source of infection to cats and dogs, the occurrence of infections in multiple animals in the same household suggests direct transmission among animals. Confirmation of the identification by molecular methods is highly recommended due to morphological similarity with T. mentagrophytes/T. interdigitale. Antifungal susceptibility testing of isolates to eight antifungals was performed using EUCAST methodology (E.Def 11.0). Among the tested antifungals, terbinafine, amorolfine, ciclopirox and efinaconazole were most potent in vitro and elevated minimum inhibitory concentrations were obtained for fluconazole and ketoconazole
