Spared cognitive processing of visual oddballs despite delayed visual evoked potentials in patient with partial recovery of vision after 53years of blindness

AbstractWe examined the visual and cognitive functions of a 72-year-old subject, KP, who recovered his sight after 53years of visual deprivation. We used visual evoked potentials (VEPs) to pattern-reversal and motion-onset stimuli and cognitive responses (ERPs) during the oddball paradigm to assess the effect of long-term deprivation on a mature visual system. KP lost his sight at the age of 17years, and light projection onto his right retina was restored at 71years by a corneal implant. Nine months after sight recovery we recorded reproducible responses to all examined stimuli. The response to pattern reversal contained two P100-like peaks with the later peak being dominant and significantly delayed (260ms) when compared to the P100s of two control subjects, to whom the stimuli were adjusted in size and contrast to mimic KP’s vision. KP’s motion-onset VEPs to full-field and peripheral stimuli had a characteristic shape with a well-defined N2 peak; however, both peaks were significantly delayed (262 and 272ms) compared to control responses. Unlike the P100 and N2 peaks, which represent sensory detection, the P3b/P300 component of the ERP to a target event in the oddball paradigm was not further delayed. In spite of degraded vision and sensory deprivation lasting 53years, KP displayed reproducible responses to all reported stimuli. Long-term visual deprivation and retinal detachment degraded KP’s visual sensory processing, assessed by pattern-reversal and motion-onset VEPs, whereas the cognitive processing of appropriate visual stimuli was not compromised

Alternative ways of live in response to consumer society

Diplomová práce se zabývá problematikou alternativních způsobů života, které reagují na konzumní společnost. Práce představuje základní a nejznámější subkultury, kontrakultury a hnutí, které prostřednictvím svého odlišného způsobu života reagují na konzumní společnost a její negativní dopad na svět. Práce se soustředí na popis negativních dopadů konzumního způsobu života na jedince, společnost a přírodu. Výzkumná část nachází subjektivní důvody lidí, které je vedou k alternativním způsobům života, popisy jejich současné životní situace a problémů, které danou alternativu provází.The thesis deals with alternative ways of life that are responsive to consumer society. Thesis pictures basic and the most popular subcultures, countercultures and movements which through its different ways of life respond to consumer society and its negative impact on the world. Thesis concentrates on describing the negative impact of consumerism on individuals, society and nature. The research finds people's subjective reasons which leads to alternative ways of life, descriptions of their current life situation and the problems that accompany the alternative.Fakulta filozofick

Child suffering from the ADHD syndrome in the surveyed kindergarten.

Aim: The main aim of the thesis has been to find out the benefit of the integration for a child suffering from ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) in a setting of the specific kindregarten. The partial aim has been to trace up the potential changes in the boy's behaviour evoked by his attendance of the kindergarten and which working technique has influenced it the most. Methodics: In order to have all the exploratory questions answered in a proffesional way, the personal structured dialogue was held between the mother of the surveyed boy and the boy's kindergarten teacher Output: The output of the survey clarified that Adam has made a great progress in many fields, as stated by the mother and either by the kindergarten teacher. The most noticeable improvement has occured in Adam's concentration which was not good at the beginning of his kindergarten attendance, his apprehension to the needs of others has become really significant in comparison with the past in which he was concerned mainly about himself. Another aspect of Adam's possitive development regarding the kindergarten attendance is the ability to control his behaviour - "he tries to do his best", Adam has also started to follow the rules of coexistence significantly which he refused to accept at the beginning. The aim that has..

Electrophysiological Testing of Dyslexia

We enlarged our previous study (Kubová Z. et al. Physiol Res 1995;44:87-89) giving an evidence about magnocellular pathway involvement (delayed motion-onset visual evoked potentials (M-VEPs)) in 70% of dyslexic children. In the new group presented here, only 48% of 25 dyslexics displayed prolonged latencies of cortical responses to motion stimuli. However, there was no correlation of this defect with the used quantification of the reading skills (reading quotients). No significant EEG frequency spectrum changes were found. 10 subjects from the former group, who were re-examined 4 years after the previous study at the mean age of 14 years, exhibited significant shortening of the M-VEP latencies compared to the original values. Also in control subjects a distinct improvement in magnocellular pathway function was proved (in M-VEP re-examination after 4 years). These results document rather late maturation of the magnocellular pathway, which is evident mainly in dyslexic children. In both groups of dyslexics an effect of colour in moving stimuli was also tested to verify the reported effect of light wavelengths onto the magnocellular pathway function. However, no latency differences among grey, green, pink, yellow and blue stimuli were observed

Towards a better characterisation of leukemic cells in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia: Cell-size heterogeneity reflects their activation status and migratory abilities

Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) is a genetically, morphologically and phenotypically heterogeneous chronic disease with clinical variability between patients. Whether the significant heterogeneity of cell size within the CLL population contributes to the heterogeneous features of this disease has not been investigated. The present study aimed to characterise the phenotypic and functional properties of two subpopulations of typical CLL cells that differ in cell size: small (s-CLL) and large (l-CLL) CLL cells delineated by forward scatter cytometry. The s-CLL cells were characterised by the CD5lowCXCR4hi phenotype, while the l-CLL cells were characterised by the CD5hiCXCR4dim phenotype and indicated a higher expression of CXCR3, CD20, CD38 and HLA-DR. The l-CLL cells displayed higher migration activity towards CXCL12, a tendency towards a higher proliferation rate and an increased capacity to produce IgM in the presence of CpG compared with s-CLL cells. When stimulated with CpG and CXCL12, l-CLL cells were characterised by a higher polarisation phenotype and motility than s-CLL cells. Our study revealed that the differences in CLL cell size reflected their activation status, polarisation and migratory abilities. Our data provide evidence of the importance of cell-size heterogeneity within a CLL pool and the dynamics of cell-size changes for disease pathogenesis, thus deserving further investigation.Web of Science1319art. no. 492
