Blood pressure monitor
Kučera, Michal ; Musil, Vladislav (referee) ; Šteffan, Pavel (advisor)
This thesis deals with the design and realization of a prototype of non-invasive blood pressure monitor based on the principle of Korotkoff sound detection. The design compares this method of measuring blood pressure with other methods. This design of an automated measuring system, which is controlled by a microprocessor, utilizes the scanning of Korotkoff sounds with an electret microphone placed in the cuff. The microphone signal is then amplified, filtered and adjusted for evaluation. The prototype uses processor-controlled inflation by the compressor and deflation of the cuff by a valve that is open without applied voltage.

Measurement of the blood pressure using LabView
Slezák, Pavel ; Chmelař, Milan (referee) ; Kolář, Radim (advisor)
This thesis deals with the design of system for blood pressure measurement. The system consists of microphone, amplifier and real time acquisition program using LabView. For determining systolic and diastolic blood pressure origin and ending of Korotkov's sounds is used. The algorithm for this detection is based on bandpass filtering and thresholding also implemented in LabView. As a result of this work, the measured sounds are presented and whole system is described in detail. In conclusion advantages and disadvantages of method are resumed.

Blood presure measurement in LabVIEW
Čermák, Marek ; Sekora, Jiří (referee) ; Harabiš, Vratislav (advisor)
The aim of this work is to design and create a product for automated measurement of blood pressure by auscultatory method by using a computer. Thesis contains a description of the blood pressure, also there are explained ways of its monitoring, basic rules for its measurement and the methods by which it is possible to measure blood pressure. In the practical part is described measuring system serving to measuring blood pressure by auscultatory method using a computer. There is also shown a design and realization of microphone preamplifier. The work also includes a description of a computer program created in LabVIEW, which is used to measure by using a previously described system. In the end is evaluated the accuracy of the whole meter.

Analysis of care in patients at risk for arterial hypertension in pharmacy I.
Gregor, Stanislav ; Malý, Josef (advisor) ; Matoulková, Petra (referee)
Analysis of care in patiens at risk for arterial hypertension in pharmacy I. Author: Stanislav Gregor1 Tutor: Josef Malý1 Consultant: Stanislav Havlíček2 1 Department of Social and Clinical Pharmacy, Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové 2 Czech Chamber of Pharmacists, Prague Introduction: Arterial hypertension represents a serious health problem. Despite of the fact that great attention is paid to an early diagnosis and therapy of arterial hypertension, it remains compensated insufficiently in a number of patients. Objectives: The aim of the thesis was to analyse the possibilities of pharmaceutical care provided to patients who are at risk of arterial hypertension. Methodology: Blood pressure was measured from the beginning of October till December 2012 in a public pharmacy in Moravská Třebová. The blood pressure was measured by a pharmacist by means of a validated and calibrated tonometer. Other data were collected from a directed interview with the pharmacy client. The data were evaluated in Microsoft Excel 2007 and processed by means of the frequency analysis. A retrospective analysis of drug problems was further performed in patients who have been using pharmacotherapy or food supplements. Results: The data were obtained from 196 pharmacy clients (31 % of men and...

Analysis of care in patients at risk for arterial hypertension in pharmacy II. Author: Kateřina Panáčková Tutor: PharmDr. Josef Malý, Ph.D.1 Consultant: PharmDr. Stanislav Havlíček2 1 Department of Social and Clinical Pharmacy, Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové 2 Pharmacy Luna, Plzeň Introduction: Arterial hypertension is one of the most common illnesses in the Czech Republic. Not only this should be the reason for proper health education and early detection of clients endangered by this illness. Objectives: The objective of the thesis was to perform and evaluate consultancy activities in a pharmacy focusing on clients with a risk of arterial hypertension or with already diagnosed arterial hypertension. Methodology: Collection of data took place in a public pharmacy in Česká Lípa between 1 May 2013 and 27 June 2014. Measuring of blood pressure was a part of controlled interview with clients of the pharmacy. Following data was recorded into a form: social-demographic characteristics of the respondend, his/her attitude towards measuring blood pressure in the pharmacy, incidence of risk factors of arterial hypertension, respectively atherosclerosis and other illnesses in the anamnesis, medication including nutrition supplements, results of own measurings and proposed...

Analysis of care in patients at risk for arterial hypertension in pharmacy III. Author: Petra Smíšková Tutor: PharmDr. Josef Malý, Ph.D. Department of Social and Clinical Pharmacy, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové, Charles University in Prague Introduction: Arterial hypertension belongs to the most common diseases of cardiovascular system, not only in the Czech Republic. Therefore it is very important to focus on its prevention and early diagnostics before the stage of health complications shows up. Objectives: The aim of this thesis was to realize and evaluate consulting activities in pharmacy focused on patients who have high risks of arterial hypertension or have been already diagnosed with it. Methodology: Data were collected in a public pharmacy in Prague from the end of April 2013 until the beginning of April 2014. The actual blood pressure measurement was preceded by obtaining of answers to selected questions through controlled interview. Acquired statements were written into the printed forms. It was focused on particicipant's socio-demographic characteristics, his relationship to the blood pressure measurement; occurrence of risk factors of arterial hypertension, it means atherosclerosis; disease in the anamnesis and the usage of drugs including food supplements. The results of blood...

Analysis of blood pressure measurement in Czech pharmacies I. Author: Jakub Prouza Tutor: Josef Malý1 1 Department of Social and Clinical Pharmacy, Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Introduction: Arterial hypertension is one of the most serious health problems of today and its therapy must be approached comprehensively. In addition to medical care, to the improvement of the health status of the patient significantly contribute properly implemented pharmaceutical care and blood pressure measurement in pharmacy. Objectives: The aim of the thesis was to describe and analyse conditions of blood pressure measurement in a sample of Czech pharmacies. Methods: Data were collected via questionnaire survey in 2012 and 2013 in three districts. The survey was conducted using two questionnaires, which were filled at pharmacies with possible help of trained interviewer. The first questionnaire was completed by the authorized employee representative of the pharmacy and included questions characterizing the pharmacy. Furthermore the question whether they provided blood pressure measurement in the pharmacy. If they did, further questions were on the frequency of measurement, instrumentation and space equipment in pharmacy. The second questionnaire was completed by the pharmacy...
