The amount of salt in the diet received by selected adult individuals and the effect of this amount on blood pressure
DVOŘÁKOVÁ, Tereza
The work deals with the issue of high salt intake in the diet and with health complications that are related - especially high blood pressure, hypertension. The aim of bachelor thesis was to describe the amount of salt in the the diet received by selected adult individuals and the effect of this amount on blood pressure. The work is divided into two parts - theoretical and practical. In the theoretical part the problem is defined. The practical part is focused on a qualitative research, which was conducted through monitoring and recording the collected data into created forms. The data collection technique was weighing of all ingredients in food preparation, measurement of the blood pressure of the respondents and laboratory analysis of urine per 24 hours. Evaluation of the data was performed using a program Nutriservis Profesional together with use of nutrition information pictured on the packaging of the food. The research group consists of five respondents, two men and three women. The results are presented in text form, summary tables and results from the laboratory. They indicate, that after averaging the resulting figures of salt intake for each day, no respondent complies with the recommended amount and with this fact corresponds even the BP. Three respondents have normal blood pressure (prehypertension), and two have optimal BP. As the most significant sources of salt were confirmed smoke meat products, bakery products and cheese.

The problems of self-monitored blood pressure
HEVEROVÁ, Jiřina
Basic theoretical background: The hypertension is a disease in which the blood pressure 140/90 mm Hg, and these values are measured at at least two of the three measurements. Arterial hypertension is one of the most common limit disease with a high prevalence in the adult population in industrialized countries. Aims of the thesis: The aids od the thesis was as to determine whether patients adhere to the principle of self-monitoring of blood pressure using a pressure gauge in the upper arm at home. Furthermore, to determine the most common mistakes patients during self monitoring of blood pressure using a pressure gauge in the upper arm at home. These targets were established research questions: Do they adhere to treating patients with hypertension guidelines for the measurement of blood pressure gauge in the upper arm? Are the errors existing in the measurement of blood pressure gauge in the upper arm? The last research question was: What mistakes do occur, the measurement of TK (gauge in the upper arm) in the home environment for patients undergoing treatment with hypertension most often? Methodology: The empirical part of bachelor work was done using the qualitative research, which was chosen for the data collection technique using individual semi-structured interviews, supplemented by observation in patients with hypertension that home blood pressure measurement using the upper arm a tonometer. The data were collected in March 2014 with respondents, who were selected using the snowball technique. The interview included a pre-prepared questions. Answers of respondents have been recorded in the recording sheet and the recording equipment. The observation was made an observation sheet with the criteria and then created a table below describes the criteria for assessing organizations. The group consisted of 8 respondents. There are four men and four women. The respondents were familiar with the questions in advance and the actual interview was recorded in writing and the recording equipment. All respondents agreed with the observation that took place before the interview. Results: The research results show that more than half of the respondents do not comply with dietary measures (see diagram 2). Another category was focused on the use of medication. Five of the eight respondents taking medications regularly Most respondents answered o the question regarding the occurrence of adverse effects that they do not have side effects.Only two respondents have indicated adverse effects (see diagram 4). The startling finding was that only half of the respondents were aware of adverse effects. In the category of blood pressure measurements showed that all except for the respondent 1, other respondents carried out to measure its pressure in the morning and 1 respondent plus two others measurements performed in the evening (see diagram 6). Each of respondent was asked different frequency measurement, only a few of the respondents agreed (see diagram 5).This category contained three subsections in which we dealt as the position of the respondents have the measurement of your blood pressure (see diagram 7) instead of measuring blood pressure of the respondents (see diagram 8) and the distance from the elbow cuffs well (see diagram 9). In the last category were identified principles that respondents know for correct measurement of blood pressure (see diagram 10). Conclusion: Arterial hypertension is a very dangerous disease, it is important to have this disease, at least partially controlled by measuring the blood pressure. It is important that all hypertensives knew and adhered to the principles for measuring blood pressure.The result of this work is to evaluate the most common mistakes self-monitoring of blood pressure, hypertensive who have committed in home care.This output should be used to assess and prevent further errors in the measurement of blood pressure, for possible patient education nursing staff.

Vliv složení piva na rychlost odbourávání alkoholu
Svobodová, Pavla
The thesis deals with the measurement of alcohol level and blood pressure after drinking two types of beer (lager and special beer) at regular intervals. The first part is literary search that provides general overview of the composition of beer and positive and negative effects of individual components of beer on human health. It also talks about influence of beer consumption on the cardiovascular system and the reproductive system of women. Readers can learn about trends of beer drinking in the Czech Republic and the USA. The practical part includes measuring of breath alcohol and blood pressure after drinking two kinds of beer, sensory analysis of tested samples and analysis of beer. The measurement includes 20 participants. The body composition of participants was analyzed on the InBody. We demonstrated slower degradation of alcohol (P > 0,05) in beer special. After drinking both kind of beer, we noticed a decrease in blood pressure (P > 0,05).
