Frequency of blood groups at the AB0 blood group system in patients diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus
FÜRSTOVÁ, Petra
The bachelor's thesis "Frequency of blood groups at the ABO blood group system in patients diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus" focuses on the issue of blood groups at the ABO blood group system and gestational diabetes mellitus. Today, the number of pregnant women diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus is still growing. This is mainly due to the increasing age of pregnant women, which is the current trend. Another risk factor is an overweight, which more and more Czechs and especially Czech women suffer from, as a result of their unhealthy lifestyle. The context between the blood group at the ABO blood group system and the diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus has not yet been sufficiently investigated in the conditions of the Czech Republic. The main aim of the study was to determine whether there is a connection between the blood groups at the ABO blood group system and the diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus. The aim has been met. The results of the study show that there is no connection between the blood groups at the ABO blood group system and the diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus. In the investigative part of the bachelor's thesis, a set of pregnant women´s blood samples was examined in laboratory examinations. The blood group from the blood group system ABO (A, B, AB and O) was identified for each woman. Pregnant women were also examined for diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus - that is, whether or not pregnant women were assigned a diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus. The frequency of diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus at particular blood groups of the ABO blood group system was statistically evaluated, for example, using the chi-square test and Fisher's exact test. The investigative results of the bachelor thesis can serve as an information source and can be used for other investigative purposes.

Field detection of blood groups in haematological laboratory
ONDRUŠKOVÁ, Eva
This thesis "Field detection of blood groups in haematological laboratory`` deals with questions concerning blood groups. In the theoretical part I deal with historical aspects, the role of antigens and antitoxins, the importance of the AB0 system, the Rh factor and with other blood group systems. A part of my bachelor thesis is a description of the importance of blood group qualities in transfusion medicine and in immunogenetics too. The latter deals with the danger of post-transfusions and hemolytic disorders of new born babies. At the end of the theoretical part I mention detection methods which can be used to verify the blood group of the examined patient. In the practical part of this thesis I examined 75 blood samples from different patients by means of three different detection methods. These samples were delivered in the laboratory Laboma s.r.o. in České Budějovice. The aim was to detect the blood groups and compare these methods to each other in respect of their time consumption, financial means, work demand and reliability. After all results have been compared, it is obvious that all methods are useful for a correct detection of blood groups and can be applied in each laboratory. Therefore, this result has confirmed my hypothesis. Nevertheless, during my examination work new hypothesis have arisen because I had decided to compare the occurence of blood groups with men and women who descend from the region of southern Bohemia. This thesis could be useful as a study aid for students of the Faculty of Health and Social Studies and as a comprehensive study material for experts.
