Team neurorehabilitation care after a cerebrovascular accident (CVA/stroke) in acute and inpatient facilities is at a very high level. However, models suitable for subsequent rehabilitation in home environments are less known. A review of the literature published between 2013-2023 was conducted using the PRISMA methodology. The search for relevant articles used three electronic databases, i.e., Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed. Twenty-three articles were initially selected for review. This study summarizes the physiotherapeutic methods and approaches available to stroke patients undergoing rehabilitation in the home environment. The study also characterizes...

Background: Information about the level of physical activities in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) is available from a number of countries, but not from Central European countries. No data has been published from the Czech Republic so far. The aim of our study was to investigate the type and level of physical activities/exercise in people with MS in the Czech Republic, along with the clinical factors that may influence these physical activities. This information can assist nurses in advising on complex patient care. Methods: The clinical assessment included: the Godin-Shephard Leisure Time Physical Activity Questionnaire (GLTEQ), the 25-foot walk...

Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eighteen women with dysmenorrhea and processed using thematic analysis. The results pointed to a significant connection between psychological and physical aspects and showed several passive and active strategies that women use. Pharmacotherapy in the form of analgesics and thermotherapy was used as first aid. What helped were rest and relaxation, reduction of external stimuli, and withdrawal into...

Introduction: Vitamin D has several functions in the body. It affects calcium metabolism and various physiological functions, such as immunity, CNS, pregnancy, the cardiovascular system, etc. Its intake is mainly mediated by synthesis in the skin from 7-dehydrocholesterol thanks to UV radiation - specifically UVB with a wavelength of 290-320 nm. Another source of this vitamin is food. This article deals with vitamin D intake from food. Goal: This paper aims to map the connection between the amount of vitamin D from an adult diet and its level in the blood. Methods: To determine the level of vitamin D in the blood, we used the daily records of individual...

Methods: The research sample was formed by 251 nurses from the clinics of the University Hospital in Prague. The PIRNCA self-assessment instrument was used. Data collection and processing took place in 2022. Results: Significant differences were found in all areas of assistance in terms of the incidence of adverse...
Case report

In the E. M. case, two sons were removed from a Czech family in Norway in 2011 due to suspicion of sexual abuse by the father. This abuse was not proven, but the sons were not returned to the mother, against whom accusations appeared in the form of alleged neglect and later media coverage of the case against the children's interests. The boys were separated into two different foster families, and the mother's visiting rights were gradually reduced from two hours twice a week to 15 supervised minutes twice a year - and only with the younger son. In 2017, the mother also lost her parental rights. The case ended up at the European Court of Human Rights...
