Disorders of Biorhythms

Our genes determine whether we are rather an early bird or an owl. If we do not live in accordance with our inner rhythm, our health can be in danger.

Alzheimer's Disease

Neuropathic Pain

Pain usually warns us that there is a possibly damaging stimulation and that we need to act fast to prevent the damage to our body. However, the useful pain sometimes becomes pathologic.

Depression

Mood disorders, and mainly depression, belong to the most frequent and life-complicating mental diseases.

Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a very severe neuropsychiatric disease whose first symptoms appear in the period of adolescence or early adulthood.

Epilepsy

Epilepsy is one of the most frequent brain diseases since it affects 1 % of population. The first seizure may be triggered by a variety of events in brain – injury, bleeding, infection, or ischemia.

Cardiac Arrhythmias

In the civilised world, cardiovascular diseases are the most frequent cause of death. The more the population ages, the more frequent cardiac arrhythmias are.

Chronic Heart Failure

The incidence of chronic heart failure is skyrocketing in Europe. This epidemic has multiple reasons: aging of population, decreased mortality due to cardiac disorders, and wide spreading of metabolic risks – obesity and diabetes.

Ischemic Heart Disease

The development of ischemic heart disease results from a decreased blood flow through the myocardium, usually caused by arteriosclerosis. The myocardium suffers from ischemia (insufficient blood supply) and consequently, insufficient oxygen supply. The end stage is then infarction (heart attack).

Hypertension

Hypertension (high blood pressure) is one of the civilisation illnesses that accompany unhealthy lifestyle and spreading obesity.

Bone Marrow Diseases

Yeast Infection (Candidosis)

One of the most frequent agents that cause yeast infections are yeasts of the Candida genus. They are a common constituent of human microflora. In the case of weakened immune system (as a consequence of AIDS, organ transplants, or chemotherapy), they become life-threatening pathogens.

Cancer

The Czech Republic is characterized by the highest incidence of colorectal carcinoma.

Muscle Atrophy

Compounds that would stop faltering of unused muscles could be beneficial for elderly people, bedridden patients, or astronauts during long-term space missions.

Inherited Metabolic Disorders

Mitochondria are cell organelles that play the role of a predominant energy producer at the molecular level.

Type 2 Diabetes

Diabetes mellitus type 2 (adult-onset diabetes) is one of the most important components of metabolic syndrome.

Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome

The combination of long-term consumption of excess food and absence of exercise, which is very common today, seriously impairs the energy balance in our organism.
