The analysis of cerebrospinal fluid in patients with hydrocephalus
Chlupáčová, Tereza ; Kolátorová, Lucie (advisor) ; Dušková, Michaela (referee)
Normotensive hydrocephalus (NPH) is a neurodegenerative disease that occurs mainly in patients of high age. The disorder causes accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which leads to enlargement of ventricles and pressure exerted on cerebral structures. Clinical manifestations (gait disorders, development of dementia, incontinence) can be easily confused with symptoms of other neurodegenerative diseases; unlike other such disorders, however, NPH can be treated by surgery, if diagnosed in time. Patients are indicated for the procedure by a lumbar drainage test. There are currently no reliable laboratory biomarkers known that could be the basis of NPH diagnostics. In the past, steroids proved to be linked to neuronal activity in neurodegenerative diseases with the help of specific diagnostic markers. An instrumental method has been developed for the purposes of this thesis and it was used to gauge the level of certain steroids in CSF in a sample group of NPH patients and a control sample group of healthy individuals. A significant difference has been found in levels of aldosterone and cortisone. Aldosterone was higher in NPH sufferers, while cortisone levels were higher in the control group. It is crucial to differentiate patients with NPH from patients with similar clinical manifestations during...

Methanol affair in the czech media
Kolátorová, Lucie ; Šoltys, Otakar (advisor) ; Zezulková, Markéta (referee)
This thesis deals with the medialization of public health-threatening events associated with the methanol affair, which appeared in Czech republic in September 2012. The thesis examines the ways in which selected four national newspapers informed the public about that case. The theoretical part presents concepts through which it is possible to look at the functioning of the media - their role in society, patterns and routine ways of media production, their role in case of emergencies and crises. Analytical part first outlines the methodological basis and consequently represents the outputs of quantitative and qualitative research. The quantitative part mainly describes how much space was in the examined newspapers provided with the affair, what kind of sub-themes were most accented, how much importance was over time attributed to the affair, what the motives were displayed in the published photographs, to what extent was preserved news neutrality of published headlines. The qualitative part of the research focuses on the linguistic tools used in articles in term of neutrality, on non-verbal expression tools and in detail illustrates how the examined newspapers reported about specific events associated with the methanol affair.
