Primary perineal hernia: a case report.

Introduction: We present the case of a female patient with anterior primary perineal hernia.

Case Report: Our 63-year-old obese patient presented with recurrent “inguinal hernia“ at the Hernia Centre of Liberec. However, she was diagnosed with perineal hernia and was indicated for hernioplasty.

[Czech bariatry in 2010].

Introduction: It is only during the past two decades, when obesity has become to be considered a pandemic disorder. However, in 1953 Varco performed jejunoileal bypass as the world's first bariatric surgical procedure. 30 years later, Pesková performed the first bariatric surgery--a gastroplasty--in Czechoslovakia.

Couple relationship education at home: does skill training enhance relationship assessment and feedback?

To evaluate the effective components of couple relationship education, 59 newlywed couples were randomly assigned to one of two couple relationship programs (CRE): (1) RELATE, which involved receiving feedback on their relationship based on the on-line RELATE assessment; or (2) RELATE + Couple CARE, which was RELATE plus completing the 6 unit Couple CARE relationship skill training program. Relative to RELATE, RELATE + Couple CARE produced more improvement in couple communication, and high relationship satisfaction across the next 12 months in women. Men sustained high and similar relationship satisfaction in either condition.

Retrograde projections to a discrete apneic site in the midline medulla oblongata of the rat.

We have recently described a discrete region of the medullary raphe nuclei, termed the midline apneic site (MAS) that produces profound apnea upon chemical stimulation. The aim of the present study was to identify brain regions that innervate the MAS. The MAS was functionally identified and then the retrograde tracer, cholera toxin B subunit was injected in Sprague Dawley rats (n = 5).
