Osteoporosis - prevention and treatment of nutrition
KUBECOVÁ, Monika
The theme of the bachelor thesis is devoted to the issue of a disease called osteoporosis. In the theoretical part, I briefly describe the anatomy and physiology of bone, then I define what osteoporosis is, what are the risk factors, what is its incidence in the population and primarily I deal with the connection of nutrition and the prevention and treatment of the disease. The prevention emphasizes the importance of calcium, its food sources and other important elements associated with osteoporosis, such as vitamin D. The chapter concerning supplementation is crucial in the treatment of osteoporosis. In the practical part of my bachelor thesis, there was aimed to answer the questions on women's knowledge in the prevention of osteoporosis, and the behaviour of women in the prevention of nutritional perspective. The quantitative part of the survey was conducted by the questionnaires. I distributed the questionnaire in printed form to 74 women aged from 50 to 90 years. Then, I divided these women into two age categories, from 50 to 70 years and from 71 to 90 years. I have compiled the outcome of each question into a chart with the help of Microsoft Excel 2007. For the qualitative part of the research, two women wrote down their weekly eating habits into the record sheets. These practices were analysed with the help of a nutrition program Nutriservis, especially, I was interested in calcium content. According to the research results, most women have lack of calcium intake. The research also implies that they do not know the correct daily amounts of milk and dairy products, because they said that a reasonable portion is one or two dairy products a day.

Analysis of 3D CT image data aimed at segmentation of bone elements and other specific tissue types
Kodym, Oldřich ; Herout, Adam (referee) ; Jan, Jiří (advisor)
The goal of this thesis is to get acquainted with methods of determining bone mineral density from appropriate tissue types in diagnostic CT data and possibly modifying or extending them in order to make the bone quality diagnosis more reliable. The thesis begins by introducing the issue of determining bone quality. Next, a method that takes cortical bone deformations into account as well as bone mineral density is introduced. Accuracy assessment based on opinion of a medical expert suggests positive outcome of future objective accuracy assessment utilizing so far unavailable base of calibrated CT data, that is needed before deployment into clinical practice. If the accuracy of the suggested method is confirmed this way, this work provides a so far absent tool for fully automatic preventive diagnostics of osteoporosis.

The Case Study of a Patient after Osteoporotic Vertebral Fractures
Bärtlová, Alžběta ; Malá, Jitka (advisor) ; Jarošová, Hana (referee)
Title of bachelor's thesis: The Case Study of a Patient after Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fractures Summary: The thesis consists of two parts: a theoretical part and a practical part. The theoretical part presents a brief description of the anatomic structure, the function, the kinesiology and the biomechanics of the spine. Furthermore it deals with the issue of the osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures and the surgical and conservative treatment as well as the contemporary methods of the physiotherapy. The practical part is a case study. It includes an anamnesis of a patient, an entrance kinesiology analysis. The aims and the methods of the physiotherapy were set on the basis of this analysis results. The bachelor's thesis provides a description of the course of the individual therapeutic units, an output kinesiology analysis, and a therapy efficiency evaluation. The aim of this bachelor's thesis is the case study of a 65 years old patient with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. The therapy efficiency evaluation shows the improvement of the patient's health condition. The pain reduction of the patient might be considered as a significant achievement. Key words: osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture, case report, physiotherapy

The influence of a specific movement therapy for bone density in female patients evaluated by bone DXA densitomentry
Kuba, Kryštof ; Strnad, Pavel (advisor) ; Jalovcová, Miroslava (referee)
Title: The influence of a specific movement therapy for bone density in female patients evaluated by bone DXA densitometry Objectives: The aim was to demonstrate the positive impact of movement on bone mineral density in patients suffering from postmenopausal osteoporosis. Summary: The main topic of this thesis is to evaluate potential benefits of an intensive program to the treatment of patients suffering from postmenopausal osteoporosis treated with the standard pharmacological therapy. The marker determined to evaluate the effect of change in bone density was DXA bone densitometry in the standard locations (lumbar spine, proximal femur). The evaluation of measurement results was performed after six-month program. Methods: The experiment, which was the substantial part of this thesis, was based on the method of comparison of input and output values in experimental and control groups. Each group consisted of 15 patients. Measured parameters of bone density were deliberately affected by means of physical interventions in the experimental group of patients. The results were processed and evaluated by Microsoft Excel and SAS 9. 2 programs. Results: Physical intervention is an essential part of therapy in patients suffering from postmenopausal osteoporosis. The experiment proved that a six-month...

Diet in the Prevention and Treatment of Osteoporosis
Veselá, Kristýna ; Kužela, Lubomír (advisor) ; Raška, Ivan (referee)
Aquamin is an unique multimineral complex, which comes from a red sea algae Lithothamnion Calcareum. In addition of calcium and magnesium, Aquamin contains next 72 important trace minerals. Its unique structure, which evokes honeycomb and its content of polymorf forms of the calcium carbonate, are probably responsible for its better bioavailability for the human body. This property was tested in many studies, which often measured a level of parathormone in the serum. This hormone is responsible for the calcium resorption from bones. Aquamin decreases the parathormone level in the serum and it is so a right product in the fight with osteoporose and osteopenia. In the market many preparations with Aquamin have been already found out, it is so available for all patients. Aquamin is a fully natural product, vegetable source, Organic certified. Key words: Osteoporose, Aquamin, parathormone, calcium, magnesium

Effect of celiac disease on growth and bone density.
Ondráčková, Markéta ; Zemková, Daniela (advisor) ; Tůma, Jan (referee)
Celiac disease is a chronic autoimmune disease of the small intestine caused by intolerance to gluten. The disease is characterized by impairment of intestinal mucosa, it is associated with malabsorption and maldigestion. The main symptoms are stomach pain, diarrhea, anemia, failure to thrive. Recently, the number of patients with atypical symptoms and a completely asymptomatic form of the disease increases. Prevalence of the disease in Europe is 1 %. The aim of this paper is to describe how celiac disease affects the status of bone tissue and what is its impact on growth in children.

Osteoporosis, osteopenia and motoric activity
Brožová, Kamila ; Radvanský, Jiří (advisor) ; Matoulek, Martin (referee)
The aim of the work was to evaluate the impact of physical activity on the bone health. There is some evidence that exercise-induced gains in bone mass in children are maintained into adulthood, suggesting that physical activity habits during childhood may have long- lasting benefits on bone health. During adulthood, the primary goal of physical activity should be to maintain bone mass. The age- related decline in bone mineral density is attenuated and the relative risk for fracture is reduced in people who are physically active. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
