Comparative study between intact and ID (Intellectually disabled) were carried out in many areas (psychic, somatic characteristics, the motor skills of individuals with the ID, comparison of the level of intellect and motor performance. The study compares the performance of intellectually disabled athletes swimmers with the majority population. For comparison we have used the existing world records led by the international swimming federation FINA, and Inas, (International Federation for sport for para-athletes with an intellectual disability). For comparison of the best Czech records with world records we were used CSMPS (Czech Sports Association for mentally handicapped athletes). If we compare world records of FINA and world records of Inas in men, we can see intellectually disabled swimmers performance generally lower by about 20-25%. The performance of intellectually disabled swimmers women are Inas values generally lower by 19.1 to 26.5% than the records by FINA, that situation is almost similar to that of men. Comparison of world-class performance of intellectually disabled men athletes with similar disabled in the Czech Republic shows the difference in the amount of 11 to 29,3%. Comparison of world-class performance of intellectually disabled women swimmers of similar people in the Czech Republic shows the difference in the amount of 10,9 to 28,8%.

Nádory ledvin představují široké spektrum histopatologických jednotek. Aktuální klasifikace WHO byla vydána v roce 2004. Nový návrh klasifikace vytvořený ISUP (International Society of Urological Pathology) byl publikován v říjnu 2013. Bylo zavedeno 5 nových jednotek: tubulocystický renální karcinom (RK), acquired cystic disease–associated” RK, světlobuněčný (tubulo-)papilární RK, MiT translokační RK (zejména t(6;11) RK) a RK spojený se syndromem hereditární leiomyomatózy a renálního karcinomu. Další renální karcinomy jsou přidány jako tzv. „provizorní“ jednotky: „thyroid-like follicular“ RK; „succinate dehydrogenase B deficiency–associated“ RK; a „ALK translocation“ RK. Byl modifikován pohled na některé stávající jendotky: multicystický světlobuněčný RK (SRK) (dříve multilokulární cystický renální karcinom) byl zařazen pod SRK jako jeho podjednotka s nízkým maligním potenciálem s navrženým názvem: multilokulární cystická renální neoplasie nízkého maligního potenciálu. Onkocytický papilární RK (PRK) nebyl zatím uznán jako další podjednotka PRK. Hybridní onkocytický chromofóbní tumor je řazen jako podjednotka chromofóbního RK. Byly doplněny nové poznatky o RK ze sběrných kanálků, medulárním RK a o mucinózním tubulárním a vřetenobuněčném RK. Mimo epiteliální tumory byl představen současný stupeň poznání u angiomyolipomu. Byla doplněna kategorie AML s epiteliálními cystami a zpřesněn byl pohled na epiteloidní variantu AML. Cystický nefrom a smíšený epiteliální a stromální tumor jsou nově zařazeny do jedné společné jednotky jako okraje morfologického spektra. Synoviální sarkom byl přesunut mezi kategorii sarkomů. ISUP doporučuje označovat tuto klasifikaci jako „ISUP vancouverská klasifikace“
Kidney tumours form a broad spectrum of distinguished histopathological and molecular genetic entities. The last WHO classification is dated to 2004. Current classification has been published in October 2013 by ISUP (International Society of Urological Pathology). There were 5 new epithelials tumours: tubulocystic renal cell carcinoma (RCC), acquired cystic disease–associated RCC, clear cell (tubulo-)papillary RCC, the MiT family translocation RCCs (in particular t(6;11) RCC), and hereditary leiomyomatosis RCC syndrome–associated RCC. Another 3 subtypes of RCC were added as “provisional” entities: thyroid-like follicular RCC; succinate dehydrogenase B deficiency–associated RCC; and ALK translocation RCC. Modifications were performed in already existing entities: multicystic clear cell RCC (formerly multilocular cystic RCC) is newly included as a subcategory of clear cell RCC with low malignant potential. Oncocytic papillary RCC (PRCC) has not been recognized as a distinctive subcategory of PRCC yet. Hybrid oncocytic-chromophobe tumour was placed within the chromophobe RCC category. Recent advances related to collecting duct carcinoma, renal medullary carcinoma, and mucinous spindle cell and tubular RCC were elucidated. Outside of the epithelial category, current approach to our understanding of angiomyolipoma, including the epithelioid variant and angiomyolipoma with epithelial cysts was clarified. Cystic nephroma and mixed epithelial and stromal tumour were considered as a spectrum of one entity. Synovial sarcoma was placed within the sarcoma group. The new classification is to be referred to as the International Society of Urological Pathology Vancouver Classification of Renal Neoplasia.

Wheelchair basketball players are classified into four classes based on the International Wheelchair Basketball Federation competition system. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the IWBF functional classification for wheelchair basketball was related to different performance field-based tests. Forty wheelchair basketball athletes took part in the study. The players carried out five field tests, three of which were quantitative, related to the three conditional skills (strength, endurance and speed test) and two of the qualitative type (accuracy and shooting ability tests). Pearson's correlation was performed to analyse the correlation between the score obtained from functional classification and the results of the wheelchair performance tests. The IWBF class was not correlated (p <0.05) with any of the tests performed. Players with even major injuries, in their best wheelchair set-up, even achieved better times than upper-class players; therefore, the disability factor in these tests is not an index that determines performance disadvantage. The study shows that the functional classification does not affect the qualitative-quantitative performance, so the disabled athlete with a lower score is not disadvantaged in basketball.

V rámci 6. rámcového projektu EU MHADIE (Measuring Health and Disability in Europe: supporting policy development ? Měření zdraví a disability v Evropě: rozvoj podpůrné strategie) byla prakticky použita Mezinárodní klasifikace funkčních schopností, disability a zdraví (International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health, ICF) na 12 pracovištích Evropské unie, z toho v šesti klinických zařízeních. Byla provedena průřezová studie na 1 019 pacientech s osmi různými chronickými stavy: poruchy pohybového aparátu (revmatoidní artritida, osteoartróza, osteoporóza, vertebrogenní algický syndrom), roztroušená skleróza mozkomíšní, Parkinsonova nemoc, migréna, cévní mozková příhoda, chronická ischemická choroba srdeční, deprese, bipolární porucha a traumatické poškození mozku. Klinika rehabilitačního lékařství 1. lékařské fakulty Univerzity Karlovy a Všeobecné fakultní nemocnice v Praze (KRL 1. LF UK a VFN) se tohoto projektu zúčastnila se 100 pacienty po traumatickém poškození mozku a 100 pacienty s roztroušenou sklerózou mozkomíšní. Vyhodnocení pacientů prováděli kvalifikovaní zdravotníci (vyškolení v kurzech ICF), kteří vyplnili Checklist ? chorobopis pacienta sestavený podle ICF kategorií. Dále se od každého pacienta získal soubor sociodemografických odpovědí na dotazy společné pro všechna evropská pracoviště a provádělo se hodnocení podle specifické škály používané pro daný typ onemocnění. Pacienti s pomocí terapeutů nebo studentů vyplňovali standardizované dotazníky kvality života WHODAS II (WHO Disability Assesment Scale) a SF-36 (Short Form Measure of Generic Health Status), které byly vypracovány podle ICF. Studie zkoumala strukturu příčinných faktorů v doméně aktivity (kapacita) a participace (výkonu) podle ICF. Autoři zdůrazňují význam ICF jako klasifikace, ale poukazují na možnost použití ICF v klinických a epidemiologických výzkumech.
As part of the sixth framework EUMHADIE (Measuring Health and Disability in Europe: supporting policy development), the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) was employed by 12 EU facilities (among them six clinical settings). A cross-sectional study of patients (n = 1,019) with eight different chronic conditions (musculoskeletal conditions ? rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, low back pain, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson?s disease, migraine, stroke, depression, bipolar disorder, and traumatic brain injury) was conducted. The Department of Rehabilitation Medicine of the First Faculty of Medicine and General Teaching Hospital in Prague participated in this project with 100 patients after TBI (traumatic brain injury) and 100 patients with MS (multiple sclerosis). Patient evaluation was performed by qualified health-professionals (trained on ICF courses) who completed a checklist composed according to ICF categories. Every patient then answered socio-demographic questions common to all centres and marked specific scales assessing the details of the disease. With the help of health professionals or students, the patients filled in the WHODAS II standardized quality of life questionnaires (WHO Disability Assessment Scale) and SF-36 (Short Form Measure of Generic Health Status) compiled along ICF guidelines. The study analyzed the structure of causal factors in terms of Activities (Capacity) and Participation (Performance). The authors would like to draw attention to the importance of ICF as a classification and, further, they would like to suggest the use of ICF in clinical and epidemiological studies.

Sedm juniorských výkonnostních triatlonistek se s týdenním rozestupem podrobilo standardnímu a modifikovanému plaveckému testu, tj. plavání na 800 m volným způsobem samostatně a v kombinaci s předchozím plaváním na 200 m s minutovým odpočinkem. Ačkoliv časy na 800 m dosažené v modifikovaném testu byly statisticky významně pomalejší na hladině 5% než v testu standardním, byly tyto časy vzájemně velmi silně korelované. Silná korelace byla nalezena rovněž mezi časy dosaženými na 200m volným způsobem v rámci modifikovaného testu a nejlepšími osobními výkony na tuto trať. Ačkoliv byl modifikovaný plavecký test navržen tak, aby odrážel triatlonovou realitu (tradiční sprint na první bójku), neposkytuje tedy ve srovnání se standardními samostatnými plaveckými testy novou informaci.
Seven female triathletes undergone standard and modified swimming tests (i.e., standalone 800 m free style and 800 m free style 1 minute after 200 m freestyle). Although the times achieved in both tests were significantly different, they were also very strongly correlated. Very strong correlation was also found between times for 200 m free style performed as a part of the modified test and personal best times. Thus also the modified swimming test was suggested to simulate specificity of triathlon (traditional rush to the first buoy) it provides no new information than standard standalone tests.

Identification of active electrodes that record task-relevant neurophysiological activity is needed for clinical and industrial applications as well as for investigating brain functions. We developed an unsupervised, fully automated approach to classify active electrodes showing event-related intracranial EEG (iEEG) responses from 115 patients performing a free recall verbal memory task. Our approach employed new interpretable metrics that quantify spectral characteristics of the normalized iEEG signal based on power-in-band and synchrony measures. Unsupervised clustering of the metrics identified distinct sets of active electrodes across different subjects. In the total population of 11,869 electrodes, our method achieved 97% sensitivity and 92.9% specificity with the most efficient metric. We validated our results with anatomical localization revealing significantly greater distribution of active electrodes in brain regions that support verbal memory processing. We propose our machine-learning framework for objective and efficient classification and interpretation of electrophysiological signals of brain activities supporting memory and cognition.

Autori sa v príspevku zaoberajú problematikou klasifikácie skupín atletických disciplín ovplyvňuj-úcich športovú výkonnosť sedemboja žien. Na identifikáciu skupín boli využité ukazovatele najlepšíchsvetových výkonov sedemboja nad 6200 bodov podľa dostupných údajov z IAAF (N = 172). Z klasifi-kačných metód zhlukovania boli použité hierarchické modely ako Average linkage (Between & Within- group), Single Linkage - Nearest neigbor, Complete Linkage - Farthest neigbor, Centroid linkage,Median clustering, Ward ́s method.Všetkých sedem zhlukových metód sa zhodlo v dvoch skupinách zhlukov a v obsahu disciplínv 2. klastry [200 m, skok od diaľky, 800 m, 100 m prekážok, skok do výšky] [vrh guľou, hod oštepom].Test stability so štruktúrou zhlukov sedemboja na úrovni 2. klastra je 100 %. Najvyššiu stabilitu42,86 % javí vnútorná hierarchia disciplín [200 m, Skok do diaľky, 100 m prekážok, Skok do výšky,800 m] [Vrh guľou, Hod oštepom].Hierarchické modely umožnili identifikovať skupiny atletických disciplíny ovplyvňujúce športovývýkon v sedemboji žien. Poznanie štruktúry športového výkonu prispieva k zefektívneniu tréningovéhoprocesu a určeniu viacbojárskej typológie pretekárok svetovej výkonnosti.
Authors deals with the problematics of group classification of athletics disciplines, which influence thesports performance in the women's heptathlon. For the group identification, the indicators of the bestworld's performance in heptathlon above the 6200 points according to the data from IAAF (N = 172)were used. From the classification methods of clustering the hierarchical models as the Average linkage(Between & Within-group), Single Linkage - Nearest neighbor, Complete Linkage - Farthest neighbor,Centroid linkage, Median clustering, and Ward ́s method were used.All seven clustering methods agreed in two groups of clusters and in the content of disciplines in2 clusters [200 meters, Long jump, 800 meters, 100 meters hurdles, High jump] [Shot put, Javelinthrow]. The stability test with the cluster structure of heptathlon in the level of the second cluster is100 %. The highest stability, 42,86 %, shows the internal hierarchy of disciplines [200 meters, Longjump, 100 meters hurdles, High jump, 800 meters] [Shot put, Javelin throw].Hierarchical models allow identifying groups of athletics disciplines that influence the sports perfor-mance in women's heptathlon. Understanding the structure of sports performance contributes to thestreamlining the training process and determining the combined events typology of world performanceathletes.

Imagination is a quite common part of top white-water canoeists' training. The aim of the study was to try to find the dependence between the image length of competition performance and the follow-up length of the real competition run and outline a structure of the images. The observed sample consisted of 30 competitors of three different performance levels and three competition categories. We have observed the relationship between the real time needed for canoeing the course and the time necessary for the imaginary run. The results at our sample support the conclusion that there is a quite strong relationship between imagination and competitor's performance in white-water slalom. To find out to what extent it is possible to influence the competition performance by increasing the quality of imagination, it is necessary to do further research.
