    Abstract Background/Aims: We investigated adaptive reorganization in Parkinson’s disease (PD) by fMRI using a passive movement task and compared the brain activation patterns of 10 patients with left- versus right-sided dominant symptoms. Five healthy controls were also investigated with the same settings. Methods: We grouped patients according to the predominant side of symptoms; thus, a right-sided dominant and a left-sided dominant group was formed. The paradigm consisted of a 4-finger passive movement task, which altered with resting states. For each subject, this examination was performed twice: on the left and on the right hand separately. Results: In healthy controls, motor-related areas contralateral to the moving fingers showed activation on fMRI. Concerning PD patients, motor-related areas of the ipsilateral hemisphere – including the primary motor cortex, supplementary motor area, and basal ganglia – seemed to be involved in the motor reorganization in PD. However, we could only demonstrate this reorganization in patients with right-sided dominant symptoms. Conclusions: We suggest that the human brain in PD tries to compensate for the failure of the basal ganglia motor loop by employing alternative (ipsilateral) motor pathways, indicating that a complex reorganization can also take place in disorders like PD which affect the whole motor-related network.

    Abstract Die Förderung der Kommunikationsentwicklung in der Frühtherapie von Autismus-Spektrum-Störungen mittels des TEACCH-Ansatzes und der Methoden der unterstützten Kommuikation (UK) wird erläutert und an Fallvignetten illustriert. Während der TEACCH-Ansatz besonders den Verstehensprozess (Input) adressiert, berücksichtigt die UK neben dem Verstehen vermeht dem aktiven Verständigungsprozess (Output). Die Methode des "Structured TEACCHings" beruht auf entwicklungspsychologischen und kognitiv-verhaltenstherapeutischen Erkenntnissen und bezieht insbesondere die Lern- und Wahrnehmungsstile von Menschen mit Autismus ein. Strukturierung und Visualisierung bilden den Rahmen einer individuellen und ganzheitlichen Förderung, die auf Selbstständigkeit, Selbstbestimmung und soziale Integration abzielt. UK ist die deutschsprachige Bezeichnung für "Augmentative and Alternative Communication" und zielt auf die Verbesserung der kommunikativen Ausdrucksmöglichkeiten ab. Drei Formen von UK werden erläutert: (1) körpereigene Kommunikationsformen mit einem Fokus auf Gebärden, (2) körperferne, nicht elektronische Kommunikationshilfen, mit einem Fokus auf das "Picture Exchange Communication System" (PECS) sowie (3) Elektronische Kommunikationshilfen, mit einem Fokus auf Kommunikations-Apps.

    Title translation Effect of primary coronary angioplasty on long-term prognosis in patients with diabetes mellitus.
    Abstract Objectives: To investigate feasibility and safety of primary PCI in diabetic patients.
    Background: Diabetic patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have been shown to be at high risk for adverse clinical outcomes. Limited data is available on long term prognosis of diabetics treated with primary PCI.
    Methods: Retrospective analysis of consecutive 67 diabetic patients and 211 non diabetic patients treated with primary PCI from 1/1995 to 12/1999, follow up for 38 +/- 12 months.
    Results: The baseline characteristics were comparable in both groups. The mean age was 62 years in diabetic patients and 59 years in non diabetic patients. Hypertension (50% vs. 36%, p = 0.05), contraindications to thrombolytic treatment (13.4% vs. 5.7%, p = 0.037), cardiogenic shock (16.4% vs. 7.1%, p = 0.023), multivessel disease (34% vs. 23%, p = 0.07) and longer time delay to treatment (240 vs. 180 min., p = 0.05) were more often present in diabetic group. 47% of diabetic and 42% of nondiabetic patients received stents. The TIMI 2 or 3 flow rates were reached in 91% of diabetic patients and in 90% of nondiabetic patients, but TIMI 2 flow was found more often in diabetics (9% vs. 2.4%, p = 0.016). Higher rate of bleeding complications leading to significant change in the blood count (7.5% vs. 1.4%, p = 0.01) and higher 30 day mortality (11.9% vs. 5.2%, p = 0.05) was observed in diabetic group. However when the shock patients were excluded from the analysis, the 30 day mortality was different insignificantly in both groups (4.5% vs. 2.4%, p = 0.36). During follow up of 259 acute phase survivors 24 patients died. There was a trend to higher total long term mortality (22.3% vs. 13.2%, p = 0.07) and higher rate of nonfatal reinfarction (13.4% vs. 6.2%, p = 0.05) in diabetic group.
    Conclusions: Primary PCI is safe and effective treatment of diabetic patients presenting with AMI. The higher rate of slow flow in infarct related artery after PCI observed in diabetics can be one of reasons for higher 30 day mortality in this group. Mean ischemic time in diabetics is behind the 4 hour border, where the possible benefit from reperfusion decreases. The main reason for higher mortality in our diabetic group was the higher rate of cardiogenic shock. Higher risk of bleeding complications at puncture site in diabetic patients can be explained by the lower quality of vessel wall.

    Abstract Die Autorinnen untersuchen die Einschätzungen von deutschschweizer Ehepaaren und ihren heranwachsenden Kindern zum Leben in einem egalitären Familienmodell. Die Längsschnittstudie umfasst dabei einen Zeitraum von 10 Jahren. In halbstrukturierten Interviews werden die Veränderungen in der Organisation in Arbeits-, Haushalts- und Familienbereich erhoben und mittels qualitativer Analyse strukturiert. Der erste Band enthält die theoretischen Grundlagen und die Befunde zu den Veränderungen bei den Eltern. Im zweiten Band wird auf die Erfahrungen der Kinder eingegangen, die in diesen Familien aufwuchsen. Auch sie wurden mit halbstrukturierten Interviews befragt. Zusätzlich wird die Kinderperspektive mit einer stärker traditionell aufwachsenden Kontrollgruppe verglichen. The authors examine life in the egalitarian family model in Switzerland through the assessments made by partners and their growing children. The study presents a longitudinal cross-section taken over a period of ten years. Changes in the organization of the areas of work, the home, and the family are levied and structured according to qualitative analysis of partially structured interviews. The first volume presents the theoretical groundwork and encompasses findings on the changes in the parents. The second volume approaches the experience of the children who grew up in these families. They, too, were questioned according to partially structures interviews. Additionally, the children’s perspective is compared to a control group raised in a more traditional fashion.

    Title translation Long-term experience with trerpostinil infusion treatment in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension in the Czech Republic.
    Abstract Introduction: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a serious primary illness of the pulmonary arterioles, characterised by progressive precapillary pulmonary hypertension. The conventional therapy for this condition is so-called specific pharmacotherapy, which addresses the key mechanisms in the pathophysiology of the illness, making use of drugs from the prostanoid group, endothelin receptor antagonists and phosphodiesterase inhibitors. Treprostinil is a stable analogue of prostacyclin, which can be administered subcutaneously, intravenously or by inhalation.
    Patient sample and method: In the centre for pulmonary hypertension in the Second Internal Clinic of Cardiology and Angiology of 1st Faculty of Medicine, Charles University, and the General Teaching Hospital in Prague, 22 patients with PAH (idiopathic PAH, familial PAH, PAH associated with congenital heart disease and PAH associated with systemic connective tissue disease) were treated with trerpostinil, 18 patients with a continuous subcutaneous infusion and 4 patients with a continuous intravenous infusion. The indicators followed were the distance reached in a 6-minute walking test, functional capacity assessed by NYHA classification and mortality.
    Results: The patients for whom treprostinil treatment was indicated had an average pressure in the right atrium of 11.9 +/- 4.2 mm Hg, average pressure in the pulmonary artery of 56.8 +/- 10.7 mm Hg, a cardiac index of 1.78 +/- 0.25 l/min/m2 and a total pulmonary resistance of 16.26 +/- 4.48 WU. 15 patients were functionally NYHA III and 7 patients were NYHA IV. The average distance achieved in a 6-minute walk test before the start of treatment was 326 +/- 83 m. When treated with gradually increasing doses of treprostinil the distance achieved in the 6-minute walk test improved. After 6 months, the group that received subcutaneous treatment had extended their distance to 359 m, after 12 months it was 393 m, after 24 months 447 m and after 36 months 494 m. After 6 months, the group that received intravenous treatment had extended their distance to 473 m, which increased to 451 m after 12 months and 489 m after 24 months. Functional capacity also improved. In total 5 patients were unable to tolerate the subcutaneous infusion, of whom 3 were placed on intravenous treprostinil and 2 on oral bosentan. 7 of the patients died in the period examined (31.8%).
    Conclusion: Treprostinil improves symptoms and hemodynamics for PAH patients and reduces mortality.

    Title translation Liver abscesses with portal and mesenteric vein thrombosis in combination with late onset of appendicitis.
    Abstract Pyogenic liver abscesses are caused by appendicitis in less than 10%. Also the ascending septic inflammation of portal vein (pylephlebitis) could be a serious complication of intra-abdominal infection. Although pylephlebitis is not frequent today, its' mortality and morbidity rates remain high. We describe a case of young man with fever, abdominal pain, and multiple hepatic abscesses. After the symptomatic relief due to antibiotic therapy the pain returned as a result of the development of portal and mesenteric vein thrombosis. The cause of either hepatic abscesses or thrombosis was not clear at the time of dismissal. 2 months later the patient underwent acute abdominal revision with appendectomy for acute phlegmonous and gangrenous appendicitis. Since that time he has been without any clinical symptoms.

    Title translation Long-term prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarct and treatment with direct coronary angioplasty.
    Abstract Background: Primary coronary angioplasty (PTCA) has a beneficial effect on the immediate prognosis for patients with acute myocardial infarction. Number of information about effects of direct PTCA on the long-term prognosis are less numerous. The aim of the work was to establish the long-term prognosis for not-selected patients treated by direct PTCA.
    Methods and results: The studied group consisted of 279 patients with acute myocardial infarction treated by direct PTCA in years 1995 to 1999 for the period of 38 +/- 12 months. Part of them were out-door patients of our clinic. The necessary data of the other patients were obtained by a questionnaire and by a telephone contact. 45 (16%) patients were lost from the follow up. The mortality rate of the study group was compared with data in the central register of Czech Republic. Positive angiographic effect of the direct PTCA (residual stenosis < 50% + flow TIMI 3) was achieved in 90% of patients. 30-day mortality was 6.8%, after excluding patients with cardiogenic shock it decreased to 3.2%. 6 patients (2.2%) had non-fatal infarction within 30 days after the first attack. From 259 patients who survived the acute infarction phase 24 died during the next period of follow up, 18 (7%) patients had a relapse of non-fatal infarction. PTCA of the infarcted artery was done in 15% of patients, PTCA of another artery in 9% of patients. The aorthocoronary bypass was indicated in 6% of patients. Almost half of relapses occurred during the first year after the hospitalisation. The risk factors of the death during the follow up were the age > 70 years, ejection fraction < 35%, impairment of 3 or more coronary artery branches, i.m. in the history, duration of ischemia > 4 hours, and diabetes mellitus. The total mortality was 11.4% in the first year, 1.4% in the second and 3.3% in the third year of the follow up.
    Conclusions: The beneficial prognostic effect of the direct PTCA on patients with acute infarction carries through the whole period of follow up. Prognosis of the risk patients remains critical. Next revascularization of the infarcted artery was in our cohort of patients necessary in 21% of patients.
