Eating disroders with a focus on anorexia and bulimia in school children
Filová, Michaela ; Gjuričová, Šárka (advisor) ; Krch, František (referee)
As a topic of my bachelor thesis, I have chosen eating disorders, focusing on anorexia nervosa, and bulimia in school children. The choice of this topic has been conditioned by my personal experience with peers suffering from this disease. The seriousness of this issue is often trivialised, and that is alarming. That is the reason why I have focused on primary school children who attend upper primary schools. At this age, children are particularly sensitive to changes in their bodies, and it may cause eating disorders. The bachelor thesis is divided into theoretical and practical parts. In the theoretical part, I will deal with the characteristics of eating disorders, their history, symptoms, risk factors, complications, treatment, prevention, and where to look for help. I will also discuss other types of eating disorders. The practical part aims to find out what awareness of upper primary pupils is, and how students perceive their bodies. I have obtained all data in the form of a paper questionnaire that teachers had distributed to pupils in the classroom. Keywords: bulimia nervosa, anorexia nervosa, eating disorders, adolescence

Žáková, Hana ; Pavlů, Dagmar (advisor) ; Hátlová, Běla (referee) ; Krch, František (referee)
Title: Kinesiotherapy in the treatment of patients with eating disorders Summary: The aim of our experiment was evaluate the effect of kineziotherapy (psychomotor therapy) on body image in the treatemnet of the patiens with eating disorders in The Department of Psychiatry on General University Hospital in Prague. The study included 10 women divided into two groups according to the psychiatrist`s diagnosis of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. The effectiveness of kinesiotherapy was also evaluated about the type of treatment - inpatient of the department for eating disorders and outpatient of the day care institution for eating disorders. We used a validated questionnaire Body Attitude Test (BAT) which is used for negative evaluation of body size, lack of familiarity with one`s own body and general body dissatisfaction. Then we used Test of silhouette according to Stunkard and Test for the evaluation of sensory stimuli according to Petrie. Due to the small sample size, we supplemented the quantitative part with the qualitative interview with open questions. It allowed us to understand the interaction of individuals with their own body. Keywords: anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, kinesiotherapy, psychomotor therapy, body image, Body Attitude Test, Petrie`s test, Stunkard`s test of silhouette, structured...

Acipimox during Short-Term Exercise Exerts A Negative Feedback of Growth Hormone on Ghrelin Secretion in Patients with Bulimia Nervosa and in Healthy Women: The Role of Lipolysis
Smitka, Kvido ; Nedvídková, Jara (advisor) ; Kršek, Michal (referee) ; Čáp, Jan (referee)
Title: Acipimox during Short-Term Exercise Exerts A Negative Feedback of Growth Hormone on Ghrelin Secretion in Patients with Bulimia Nervosa and in Healthy Women: The Role of Lipolysis Objective: Eating disorders, such as bulimia nervosa (BN) and anorexia nervosa (AN), are characterized by abnormal eating behavior. The main features of BN are binge-eating and inappropriate compensatory methods to prevent weight gain. The appetite-modulating peptide ghrelin is secreted by the stomach and shows a strong release of growth hormone (GH). A potential GH-ghrelin feedback loop between stomach and the pituitary has been recently reported. Acipimox (Aci), an analogue of nicotinic acid, inhibits lipolysis in adipose tissue (AT) and reduces plasma glycerol and free fatty acids (FFA) levels. Exercise and Aci are stimulators of GH secretion. We suppose that a negative feedback from increased GH levels during exercise may play a role in reducing plasma ghrelin levels. We surmised that altered baseline activity and exercise-induced activation of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) results in excessive stimulation of lipolysis associated with negative energy balance and may lead to abnormal AT metabolism in patients with BN. Disruption of the gut-brain-AT axis might be involved in the pathogenesis of BN. The...
