Allergics reactions to herbal medicines in childern
Meincke, Ricarda ; Pokladníková, Jitka (advisor) ; Marešová, Helena (referee)
Background: The use of herbal medicines in children and adolescents is continually on the rise. Contrary to popular belief, herbal products (HPs) are not always a safe alternative to conventional drugs and can cause a variety of adverse events such as severe and fatal allergic reactions. In regards to herbal medicine use in children, a recently published systematic review that searched PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO and AMED included 58 studies from 19 countries and found overall herbal lifetime use to be between 0.8-85.5 % and 2.2-8.9 % for current use. Unlike most synthetically produced drugs, the adverse event profile of such "natural" preparations in children has rarely been studied. To this date, effective systems that monitor adverse drug events (ADRs) and long term side effects associated with HPs are either non-existent or still developing in many countries. Due to insufficient and inconsistent ADR reporting, little is known about the ADR spectrum of herbals in pediatric patients. Awareness of the potential of HPs to cause ADRs, particularly in children and adolescents, needs to be increased and reporting to national pharmacovigilance centers (PVCs) reinforced. Objectives: This project analyzed the worldwide adverse event data for herbal drugs related to hypersensitivity reactions as recorded in...

Databases and digital libraries for pharmaceutical disciplines
Kebza, Vladimír ; Papík, Richard (advisor) ; Horváth, David (referee)
The aim of the diploma thesis is to describe and basically analyze representative databases and digital libraries that focus on pharmaceutical disciplines. The introductory chapter is concerned with related terminology, while the following chapters refer to significant subjects and principles in the field of pharmaceutical industry, and also to important classification systems and retrieval languages that can be found in some of the described resources. The fifth chapter focuses on pharmaceutical information resources which are offered by some of the world's leading database service companies. The sixth chapter contains a description and a basic analysis of 10 representative electronic resources for pharmaceutical disciplines. The empirical section of this diploma thesis consists of three major parts. One of them is a subject coverage analysis of bibliographic databases MEDLINE and EMBASE from the viewpoint of pharmaceutical information.

Pharmacovigilance of Medicines
Dvořáková, Ilona ; Lešetický, Ondřej (advisor) ; Filipová, Markéta (referee)
The objective of my Bachelor thesis is to analyse development of pharmacovigilance and adverse event reporting in the Czech Republic and other countries, with a focus on the changes in the number of adverse event reports over the last thirty years in Czech Republic and comparison with development of adverse event reports in other countries and prediction the possible trends in adverse event reporting in the future. My Bachelor thesis will also contain definitions of adverse events in accordance with the Medicinal Products Act No. 378/2007, as well as a detailed description of the adverse event reporting procedure, the persons who are obliged to report adverse events, and the systems in place for reporting adverse events by pharmaceutical companies. I will also include a chapter on the history of pharmacovigilance in the Czech Republic and in other countries and a description of how the Uppsala Monitoring Centre, WHO's centre for monitoring adverse events, works. A section will be dedicated to pharmacovigilance tools used by State Institute for Drug Control, with a detailed focus on selected side effects of drugs reported in the recent years. In the final chapter of my Bachelor thesis, I will map the development of the number of adverse event reports in the Czech Republic and in the other countries with the aim of predicting potential trends in adverse event reporting in the future.

The trajectory of drugs from basic research to the consumer
Novotná, Ivana ; Drozen, František (advisor) ; Šípek, Ladislav (referee)
This bachelor's degree thesis focuses on the trajectory of drugs from basic research to the consumer and after its succesful completion, the consumer can use efficient and safe drugs. The purpose of this thesis is to describe the trajectory of drugs from basic research to the consumer as a complete unit (research & development, marketing, pricing, distribution, advertising of drugs). Key terms, procedures and actors are explained and defined. Great emphasis is placed on understanding the technical passages, so that the reader without pharmaceutical education could join to topic and after reading would able to "absorb" and understand the basic information.
