The role of a nurse in a prevention and a treatment of intestinal parasites of children
JANDOVÁ, Anna
The best-known intestinal parasites are Pinworms, Roundworms, Tapeworms and the disease called Toxocarosis. The oftenest parasite is, according to sources, the Pinworm. Intestinal parasites affect mostly young children of pre-school age, sometimes even older. The first goal of the thesis was to investigate parents' awareness of the prevention of parasitic diseases in children. There is a hypothesis set to this goal: Parents of children who suffered from parasitic disease are more informed than parents of children who have not had this disease. The second goal was to map the specifics of nursing care for children with parasitic diseases at GPCHA practice. A research question was chosen for this aim: What are the specifics of nursing care at GPCHA in parasitic diseases? In methodology, the empirical part was chosen and it was a qualitative - quantitative research survey. For the quantitative part, the interrogation method and technique of non-standardized questionnaire was used. The research sample of quantitative survey consisted of 223 respondents, it means parents whose child is aged from 0 to 6 years. The questionnaires were distributed on social networking and others in a nursery school in Týn nad Vltavou. At the very beginning, respondents were acquainted with the topic of the thesis. The results of a quantitative survey were processed with the help of a data matrix and were further processed within twenty-arranged bar charts. To verify the hypothesis, we used the Chi- Quadrat test, which in this case is not satisfactory, therefore, there had to be chosen to merge the responses. An interrogation method, technique-depth interview was used in the qualitative part. The research group consisted of five nurses; three nurses working at GPCHA in Týn nad Vltavou and two working at GPCHA in České Budějovice. While processing the interviews, there open coding was used and an analysis of interviews was conducted by using the method of Pencil and Paper Interview. The results of this bachelor thesis will be published in the journal Paediatrics practice.

The Role of Nurse in the Prevention of Disease of Civilisation
PAVLOVÁ, Martina
The current state Prevention is a complex care of a patient when we are trying to prevent from the occurrence or development of a disease, or when we want to prevent from its consequences and mitigate them. Recommendations for prevention set by a doctor must be on a scientific basis, and they must be a part of all branches of medicine. Their effectiveness depends on the cooperation between patients and medical staff. The basic and most efficient method of prevention is the health promotion and health education, which is closely associated with it. The term health promotion involves a set of activities and precautions for the purpose of making health better and sustaining it. Diseases of civilisation (hereinafter "DoC") are groups of diseases which are distinguished by their association to our lifestyles. Human body is more and more threatened from unfavourable influences of external environment, such as the quality of atmosphere, work environment and environment itself, the lack of physical movement, unhealthy diet, smoking, and alcohol consumption. The list of diseases of civilisation varies and changes together with our society and the development of our lifestyles. Among the most common or frequent diseases of current time are cardiovascular diseases, which involve atherosclerosis, hypertension, myocardial infarction, stroke, coronary artery disease and obesity. Furthermore, between civilization diseases include diabetes mellitus type 2 or cancer, etc. The goal of the thesis There are two goals set for this paper. The first goal was to find out what the role of a nurse in the prevention of diseases of civilisation was. The second goal was to find out what the above mentioned role of a nurse was from the point of view of patients. Methodology For the purpose of the research part of this thesis, qualitative research using semistructured interviews was carried out. Respondents were divided into two groups; the first one consisted of eight nurses working at internal medicine and neurological department of the hospital in České Budějovice and a nurse working in a private office of a general practitioner for adult patients. The second group consisted of eight patients of the above mentioned health facilities. Results According to our findings, nurses and patients have different oppinions on the role of a nurse. Nurses in disease prevention see themselves as an equivalent to a doctor when undertaking this practice and giving guidance. The patient speaks only to the nurse who emphasized what they were told by the doctor and reiterated the main points. They make available to them leaflets and brochures or Internet resources. In contrast, most patients see a nurse as a more important source of information than the doctor. Patients have the feeling that the doctor does not have enough time or does not want to be botherd with questions. Rather the patient turns to his nurse, which they sees as more appropriate and someone to whom they can confide in without bothering. Summary The goal of the thesis was to focus on prevention, DoC, and the role of a nurse in the prevention of such diseases, as well as to study this issue, look at it from the point of view of patients and nurses via the interviews carried out in this paper, and to analyse such information. Based on this analysis are published recommendations for nurses and patients.

Patients with Ulcerous Stomach Disease and Duodena and their Observance of the Regime Precautions
HESOUNOVÁ, Ilona
The topic of the Bachelor Thesis is "Patients with Ulcerous Stomach Disease and Duodena and their Observance of the Regime Precautions". In the Czech Republic the ulcerous stomach disease occurs with 3 to 10% of the population and it afflicts patients particularly in their active age. The theoretical part describes the disease history, its classification, aetiopathogenesis, clinical picture, diagnostics, compilation, treatment, regime precautions, patient´s education and the role of the nurse in the nursing process. The practical part deals with three aims which were set at the beginning of the research. The first aim was to find out if the patients with the ulcerous stomach disease and duodena observe the regime precautions. The second aim was focused on the role of the nurse in the education of patients suffering from the ulcerous stomach disease and duodena. The last aim supposed to use the research results and elaborate information material concerning the regime precautions for patients suffering from the ulcerous stomach disease and duodena. Four hypotheses were made. The first hypothesis presumed that patients suffering from the ulcerous stomach disease and duodena know the regime precautions. The second hypothesis claimed that patients suffering from the ulcerous stomach disease and duodena follow the regime precautions. The third hypothesis said that patients suffering from the ulcerous stomach disease and duodena are aware of the importance of following the regime precautions. The fourth hypothesis supposed that nurses play an important role in the educational process of patients suffering from the ulcerous stomach disease and duodena. There was used the quantitative method of the research inquiry. The chosen technique for data collecting was the anonymous questionnaire. The research set formed patients with the ulcerous stomach disease and duodena from the Internal Department of the Hospital in Písek, from a General Practitioner Surgery in Písek, from the Internal and Surgery Department of the Hospital in Strakonice, from the Gastroenterology Department of the Hospital in České Budějovice and from the Internal Outpatients´ Department of the Clinic in Milevsko. On the basis of the evaluation of the anonymous questionnaire the first, the second and the third hypothesis was not proved. On the other hand the fourth hypothesis was proved. On the basis of the research inquiry there was elaborated information material concerning the regime precautions of the patients suffering from the ulcerous stomach disease and duodena. This material can be an inspiration for the educational activity of nurses too.

Roles of cytoskeleton in mouse polyomavirus trafficking
Klímová, Lucie ; Forstová, Jitka (advisor) ; Šmahel, Michal (referee)
6 Roles of cytoskeleton in mouse polyomavirus trafficking ABSTRACT: Mouse polyomavirus (mPyV) is small non-enveloped DNA virus. Its endocytic pathway is studied for a potential utilisation of polyomaviral virus-like particles in gene therapy and/or immunotherapy. mPyV enter cells by internalisation into smooth monopinocytic vesicles. During it's journey through the cell, it pass through early endosomes, and at the time 3 hours post infection, it is localised in endoplasmic reticulum and recycling endosomes. Many aspects of mPyV trafficking and nuclear entry are not clear yet. Time-lapse live imaging fluorescence confocal microscopy was used to describe the mouse polyomavirus intracellular movements. For these studies, we utilised mPyV fluorophore-labeled virions and cells expressing GFP-tagged g-actin or alpha-tubulin. Some virion-loaded vesicles were seen to move with actin organised into dynamic structures. Some of these structures resembled actin comets created by Listeria or vaccinia virus. At the same time post infection (40-60 min post infection), movement of the virion loaded vesicles along mirotubules was observed suggesting the simultaneous involvement of actin and tubulin during mPyV trafficking. Dynamitin, a dominant negative inhibitor of dynein-dynactin function reduced mPyV infection. Taken...
