Nutritional value for foods in care facilities
KOHOUTOVÁ, Monika
The objective of the thesis was to assess whether catering provided by the given facility has sufficient nutritional value and variety for the respondents, and to determine if catering is accommodated to the health conditions of respondents from the viewpoint of meal consistency and dietary measures. The research applied was a mixed one. Data was acquired using semi-structured interviews, measuring bodily temperature, mass, and height, seven-day records of catering and menus provided by the facility. The research was joined by seven seniors residing in apartments with caretaking services and receiving lunches from a specific facility (a home for seniors). Results of the research point to the fact that when the respondents eat the entire lunch (with regard to what percentage their lunch makes out of their total energy intake) most of the lunches contain excessive energy, protein, and fat values. Significant differences were fond in the content of carbohydrates. It is impossible to affirm that lunches with a certain quantity of carbohydrates prevail in the majority of respondents' lunches. As lunches should form 35% of the total energy intake, they mostly contained an excessive share of energy, proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. If the respondents halve the lunches into to portions, the majority of lunches contain an insufficient quantity of energy, proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. As regards the degree of variety, lunches usually include broths. Pork meat prevailed in main courses. Sides were often changed. Fried meals were served often. Sweet meals were served more than vegetarian lunches. The variety lacked namely in fish, pulses, fruit, and vegetables. Results achieved imply that respondents prefer meals in the original consistency and do not need any adjustment. It was further found that all of the respondents consume common meals despite dietary measures being indicated for three of the respondents. The results of the thesis may be utilized as an informative source for both lay and professional public.

The serological diagnostics of the tick-borne encefalitis in the University Hospital in Pilsen. The comparison of the tick-borne encefalitis occurance between the year 2011 and 2016.
KOHOUTOVÁ, Monika
The tick-borne encefalitis is an inflammatory virus illness which is transmitted to humans by infected ticks of germs Ixodes ricinus. These ticks have the virus in the saliva. RNA virus of the Flaviviridae section is the etiological agent. The virus belongs to the arboxiruses. The vaccination is the best preventive protection against this illness. This bachelor work is dedicated to the problems of tick-borne encefalitis in the Pilsen region. Two groups of patients, in the years 2011 and 2016, have been used to compare the results. The information about patients with tick-borne encefalitis in the year 2011 were taken from the laboratory information systém Open Lims in the virology sector of Institute of Microbiology of the University Hospital in Pilsen. I diagnosed the patients with confirmed tick-borne encefalitis by the method of Enzyme immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in the year 2016 and the antibodies were detected. ELISA is the routine diagnostic method which detects the tick-borne encefalitis antibodies in particular classes. Both groups of patients were evaluated according to the same criteria. The trend of occurence of tick-borne encefalitis has been surveyed with focusing on months, age cathegory and sex of the patients in the years 2011 and 2016. The detected data have been compared. The results of identified data show that this illness has the direct link to seasonal occurrence. The patients are mostly older adult people and there are more male patients than female. The results of both groups with serologicaly proven tick-borne encefalitis agree with the results in the EPIDAT systém in the years 2011 and 2016.
