| Klíčová slova | Jarmila Siegelova; Lifetime Achievement Award |
| Popis | In the first week of January this year, Prof. MUDr. Jarmila Siegelova, DrSc. celebrated her 80th anniversary, former Head of the Department of Functional Diagnostics and Rehabilitation at St. Anne’s University Hospital, Faculty of Medicine of Masaryk University in Brno and the Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation of the Faculty of Medicine of Masaryk University (LF MU). We and all those who have or had the honor to work closely with her in the past still appreciate her untiring work commitment, her willingness to help wherever it is needed and the indomitable optimism she is known for. Since her graduation in 1965, she has had an extremely long and sometimes tortuous professional journey, but one that has enabled her to reach a top level of scientific research and teaching. As an assistant professor at the Department of Physiology of the Medical Faculty of Masaryk University (since 1965) she carried out the first scientific work on experimental animals, where she chose methodologically demanding experiments of stimulation and sensing of action potentials of nerve fibres in the framework of research on splanchnic nerves in the regulation of respiration. Later on, she returned to the topic of respiratory regulation many times, but this time in the context of clinical studies in healthy and sick subjects. She also defended her doctoral thesis on this topic in 1990 and habilitated in 1991. She became a member of the International Society of Pathophysiology of Respiration and repeatedly lectured at international scientific conferences. Her doctoral dissertation (defended in 1990) concerned the neural regulation of respiration in healthy humans and in some selected pathological conditions. For many years she has been (and still is) devoted to the problems of pathogenesis and treatment of essential hypertension, issues of chronobiology of blood pressure and heart rate. It is in this field that she has achieved her greatest lifetime scientific success. She holds the world primacy in the discovery of the weekly rhythm in circulatory parameters, which is the result of natural laws and not the result of social evolution. |
