Issues of atopic dermatitis in context of nutrition
HAVLOVÁ, Ivona
The topic of my bachelor's thesis is "Issues of atopic dermatitis in context of nutrition." Atopic dermatitis is a type of skin inflammation in moist areas (back of the knee, inner elbow, groin). Skin health is affected by factors including the weather, textile and diet. Data were gathered using a qualitative research and snowball sampling. A survey was conducted among nine respondents, each providing information on the food they ate for a week. The goal was to map atopic dermatitis in the context of nutrition. The practical part of the thesis focused on what foods seem to be the most problematic for respondents. The survey showed these include citrus fruit, sweets, highly processed foods and especially alcohol. Respondents said that wine was the most problematic among alcoholic beverages. A few respondents mentioned nuts, soya and dairy. Seasons also have an impact on the atopic dermatitis incidence, with winter posing the biggest problem and summer following. A link between atopic dermatitis and the weather has not been properly studied and cannot be confirmed. The food analysis was recorded in the Nutriservis app. Data were entered into an Excel table that includes energy and macronutrient values of individual meals. The analysis shows that most respondents eat bread/rolls with ham or cheese, or cereal for breakfast. Snacks are similar but smaller than breakfasts. Lunches and dinners are often home-made meals consisting of good polysaccharides (rice, pasta, potatoes), meat (mostly chicken) and vegetables. The analysis reveals often unbalanced energy intake over the week, mostly because of alcohol consumption. Most respondents eat enough fruit and vegetables.

Nutrition care in the treatment of pediatric patients with Crohn's disease
ČADOVÁ, Andrea
This bachelor thesis deals with the nutrition care of pediatric patients with Crohn's disease. The main goal is to find out whether the patients' parents and the patients themselves are sufficiently informed about nutrition and if Crohn's disease had impact on the eating habits of the children. The theoretical part is focused on the current epidemiology, etiopathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnostic procedure and treatment options. It is also focused mainly on clinical nutrition and dietary measures. For this research, I chose a qualitative approach, which was attended by ten children respondents and ten mothers. The practical part is divided into three subchapters. The first of them is devoted to case reports with basic information about patients obtained from personal and nutritional anamnesis. The second part evaluates the answers of the mothers of the respondents and the respondents themselves to the questions asked during the semi-structured interviews. The last part is devoted to the evaluation of eight week-long menus and two 24-hour calls. This research has shown that parents and pediatric patients are well informed about the diet of Crohn's disease but some of them think that not all the questions they had were answered. Then they can search answers for their unanswered questions on non-professional websites. For most respondents, Crohn's disease did not have a particularly significant impact on their eating habits. Reduction of the number of fried meals and fast food was the most common change in the patients' lives.

Nutritional Particularities of Ulcerative Colitis
VÁVROVÁ, Veronika
This bachelor thesis is focused on nutrition issues in people suffering from one of the idiopathic intestinal inflammations, namely ulcerative colitis. The theoretical part deals with the characteristics of the disease, its symptoms, complications and treatment. Furthermore, it focuses more on nutrition and dietary recommendations during periods of remission, relapse and short bowel syndrome. The practical part is divided into three parts in which the method of qualitative investigation is used. The first part of the research examines how the respondents suffering from ulcerative colitis were acquainted with the residue-free diet, using semi-structured interviews. The second part of the research maps how the nutrition differs in individual respondents by considering their case history and evaluating their three-week diet. And in the third part, with the help of their nutritional history, the foods most frequently causing problems for respondents are mapped. The results of the research show that most respondents were educated by a doctor, not a nutrition therapist. Even some respondents were not answered their diet questions, so they had to search for diet information on the Internet or visit a nutritional clinic because they were already at risk of malnutrition or malnutrition. Energy and nutrient intake is sufficient for most respondents. Respondents with insufficient energy and nutrient intake supplement their energy and nutrients with sipping. As emerged from the research, almost all respondents eat rationally, only omitting meals that cause them problems. The most common meals, which bring about indigestion, are spicy dishes, fruits and vegetables with peel, grilled meat, milk and cabbage.

The role of fructose in hepatic fat accumulation
Justrová, Marie ; Kovář, Jan (advisor) ; Malínská, Hana (referee)
One of the metabolic disorders with an increasing incidence is non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). NAFLD is characterized by pathological accumulation of fat in the liver. According to some authors, excessive fructose consumption plays an important role in its pathogenesis. The thesis aims to interpret published findings of the relationship between fructose intake and fat deposition in the liver. In the first part the fructose metabolism is described and compared with the glucose metabolism. The other effects of fructose on fat, carbohydrate and nucleotide metabolism are mentioned. This is followed by definition of the term NAFLD, description of various stages and clinical characterization of the disease. In the final part of the thesis the results of studies concerned with the role of excessive fructose consumption in NAFLD development are summarized. Excessive consumption of fructose by healthy subjects during isocaloric diet doesn't result in hepatic fat accumulation due to effective compensatory mechanisms. However, the role of fructose in hypercaloric diet in the increase of hepatic fat content hasn't been definitely explained yet. It seems that excessive caloric intake per se is more important than the effect of fructose or its metabolites. More pronounced rise in hepatic fat content...

Specifics of diet in patients with chronic kidney disease
Holakovská, Lucie ; Vachek, Jan (advisor) ; Oulehle, Kateřina (referee)
Approximately 10 % of local population is affected by chronic kidney disease. CKD is not only a major health issue but it does have socio-economic impact on society. Early diagnosis and adequate therapy helps to delay the necessity of dialysis treatment, leads to a better quality of life of patients and can lower the economic costs of the therapy. Adequate therapy and regime intervention may positively influence wide range of risk factors of CKD progression. Patients with CKD have to comply with strict dietary restrictions including reduction of proteins. When starting dialysis, proteins intake increase is necessary, because of amino acids dialysate losses. Registered dietitian (RD) aims to maintain an optimal nutritional status of the patients and to minimize complications of CKD. Patients should be educated about nutrition principles during predialysis and diet changes after initiation of dialysis treatment. This bachelor thesis aims to establish an awareness of the dialyzed patients about nutrition measures. Questionary survey was used in set of 86 patients treated on dialysis in Klatovská nemocnice. Results are presented in the form of graphs. Results of the survey says, only 19 % of patients were educated by RD and 52 % of respondents were not informed at all about the need of increased...
