Hidden malnutrition in patients with advanced stage of ovarian carcinoma
Ožanová, Michaela ; Tuček, Štěpán (advisor) ; Kostková, Lenka (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the topic of hidden malnutrition in patients with advanced stage of ovarian carcinoma. Tumor diseases are often accompanied by malnutrition. In the case of ovarian cancer, malnutrition may be hidden, primarily due to ascites, which can distort body weight. Out of the patients included in this study 32 % had ascites. The basic nutritional status test in hospitals is the nutritional screening performed on each hospitalized patient to detect the risk of malnutrition. Other methods such as anthropometric measurements, laboratory values, bioimpedance analysis, or less commonly, imaging processes can also be used to detect malnutrition. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate whether nutritional screening and regular weight control in patients with advanced ovarian cancer is sufficient to diagnose malnutrition. The results have shown that the inclusion of anthropometric measurements between routine screening can be beneficial in detecting a greater number of malnourished patients. Also shifting the BMI threshold in nutritional screening for patients over 65 would greatly increase the capture of patients at risk of malnutrition. The secondary focus was to find whether the presence of ascites can be a determining factor in malnutrition being left undiagnosed, and which simple...

Title: The effect on somatic characteristics for success rate in the tests ensuring assumptions for the special physical training in the Army of the Czech Republic. Objective: To identify and compare the impact of somatic characteristics (body composition and somatotype) for the results of the tests ensuring the assumptions for the special physical training in the Army of the Czech Republic. The method: The dissertation corresponds with empirically based study of observational type. The measured research group was consisted of students (n = 12) of Military Department (VO) attending full-time studies at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport (FTVS) of Charles University (UK) in Prague. To characterize the group, there were used the methods of descriptive statistics - rate position (arithmetic mean) and a measure of variability (standard deviation). Somatotype determination was performed according to the method of Heath and Carter (1967) using the program for somatotypes 1.2.5. To analyse the body composition was used a bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), it was measured using a device Tanita MC - 980. For the measurement and evaluation of probands were used tests for ensuring the conditions for special physical training (STP) in the Czech Army (AČR), which are part of VO FTVS admission...
