Goals: Our goal was to establish the level of life quality in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF), and to find out whether there was a connection between their gender, socio-demographic status, BMI, number of comorbidities, NYHA class, treatment regime, time of treatment, age, and quality of life. Methods: This research was conducted in 2018 at cardiology outpatient wards in patients with CHF using the standardized Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ). In order to perform complex monitoring of the relations among the variables within the study we conducted regression analysis, however, in exploratory regime as a descriptive technique, and so regardless of the value of statistical significance, and without an attempt to generalize. The model was realized using the ENTER method. Our goal was to include all of the above variables in it. We then estimated the relative power of influence using a standardized beta coefficient. Results: Based on the values of this coefficient we can say that an increasing NYHA class, and being a male disabled retiree has the most significant influence on life quality. Adherence to the treatment regime does not have a significant impact on life quality; in fact, strict adherence to it may even result in its worsening. Conclusions: For patients with a different NYHA class, treatment goals may differ. It is important for them to be aware of the fact that even if adherence to the treatment regime interferes with their quality of life, adherence to it is necessary in order to slow down the progress of this serious disease.
V minulosti se veřejné zadávání stalo nástrojem politiky státu, jehož prostřednictvím se realizovala podpora určitých odvětví, výrobků nebo skupin podnikatelů. Taková pomoc často směřovala do vybraných lokalit. Trendem současného veřejného zadávání je rovněž podpora, která však není namířena přímo. Podporuje se skupina obyvatel, výrobky nebo služby. Nejsou nikterak spojeny s konkrétními dodavateli nebo lokalitou, ale zohledňují se jejich aspekty považované za podpory vhodné. U lidí je to například uplatnění na trhu práce, zapojení do pracovního procesu apod. U výrobků a služeb pak vlastnosti, způsob výroby, použité materiály, životní cyklus atp.
As a key result of the three-year research project is labelled the expert opinion published in the Journal of Medical Law and Bioethics. The aim of the project was to identify and analyse problems related to surrogacy in Czech legislation. The key result does not take into account many aspects of surrogacy. Some stated opinions seem very problematic and most of them need to be explained or, at least, put to the ray of extensive consideration. This article shows other, polemic opinions with hopes to be noticed as an academic discussion on such an important topic.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
