This study focuses on the names of medicinal plants which are used in the linguistic area of Těšín Silesia and which have been derived from their eff ects known in folk human and veterinary medicine. The etymol-ogy of the names of these plants was transparent to the average speaker of the language and acted as a clear guide on how to use them. It is therefore a suitable source of ethnolinguistic knowledge. We identify four typical types of motivation: the organ or part of body for which the plant is used; the disease against which the plant is used; the eff ect; the person or animal for whose treatment the plant is used. Each type is documented using specifi c examples and aided by analyses of the origin of the name of the plant and its therapeutic use as it is known in Těšín Silesia. In interesting cases, comparison with contemporary Czech and other Slavic languages is also carried out.

Psoralens are medicinal photosensitizing furocoumarins which are used in photochemotherapy and photoimmunotherapy of dermatoses. Psoralen photooxidation products may be involved in therapeutic effects, but the possible mechanisms of their action remain unclear. The study was aimed to assess the prospective pharmacological effects and mechanisms of activity for six previously identified ortho–hydroxyformyl-containing psoralen photooxidation products and their cycloadducts with aminothiols, as well as for structurally similar compounds (furocoumaric acid and tucaresol). Chemoinformatic analysis of the prospective pharmacological effects and mechanisms of action of these compounds was performed using the PASS and PharmaExpert software. The predicted pharmacological effects partially confirmed by previous studies highlight the possible involvement of psoralen photooxidation products in the effects of PUVA therapy or photopheresis during the course of dermatoses and proliferative disorders treatment. A broad spectrum of pharmacological effects found for furocoumaric acid and cycloadducts of coumarinic and benzofuranic photoproducts of psoralen with cysteine and homocysteine appoints new directions of research relating to therapeutic use of psoralens.

The Impact

This chapter provides a brief introduction to the various fundamentals and concepts related to the basics of the biomedical image processing. Medical imaging processing comprises various techniques and processes that are used to create images of human body for clinical purposes and medical procedures for the purpose of diagnosis or examination of disease. Digital image processing along with its suitable components and computer-simulated algorithms are implemented using computers to perform the image analysis of digital images. The study of normal anatomy and physiology of human body is made as a part of diagnosis process. Though medical imaging of various organs and tissues can be performed for medical examination purposes, the impact of digital images on modern society is tremendous and image processing has become a critical component of science and technology related to the biomedical image processing.

The Ideal

Background: L-tryptophan is an essential amino acid, necessary for the human body to function. Its degradation occurs through two metabolic pathways. Approximately 95% of the L-tryptophan available in the body is converted via the kynurenine pathway, while the remainder is degraded via the serotonin pathway. Properly maintained balance between the concentrations of individual small molecular metabolites is extremely important to maintain homeostasis in the human body, and its disruption could lead to the development of numerous neurological, neurodegenerative, neoplastic, as well as cardiovascular diseases. Recent reports suggested that by controlling the levels of selected L-tryptophan metabolites (potential biomarkers), it is possible to diagnose numerous diseases, monitor their course and assess patient prognosis. Objective: The aim of this paper is to review the currently important clinical applications of selected biomarkers from the L-tryptophan metabolism pathways that would be helpful in early diagnosis, monitoring the course and treatment of serious diseases of affluence, which ultimately could improve the patients’ quality of life, as well as support targeted therapy of the aforementioned diseases. Conclusion: Since the biochemical biomarkers determination in body fluids presents the ideal minimally invasive tool in the patents’ diagnosis and prognostication, the topic is up-to-date and, importantly, emphasized the current trends and perspectives of application of analysis of selected L-tryptophan metabolites named kynurenine and serotonin-derived small compounds in the routine medical procedures.

The rising awareness of the consumers towards the health benefits of food has resulted in the development of the so-called functional foods. These added value products which refer to prevention and/or therapeutic effects of food beyond its nutritional value, are especially useful for health improvement and reduction of medical care costs. The combination between health and nutrition and its potential to improve the quality of life has become one of the key attention points of consumers who are aware of and are seeking nutritional solutions to their health concerns. Milk and dairy products have been used in human nutrition for thousands of years, providing important nutrients for the human body such as proteins, fats and calcium. It is now widely recognized that in addition to their basic nutritive role they also exert functional properties beneficial for human health, so the development of functional dairy products is one of the fastest growing areas in the dairy industry as well as one of the largest sectors in the global market of functional foods. This review provides a brief overview of the health benefits and the natural functionality of dairy products as well as the challenges together with the future perspectives of their application as delivery vehicles for beneficial compounds to the human body. Keywords: functional foods, milk, dairy products
