Needs of patients with thyroid disease
HANUSOVÁ, Kateřina
This bachelor thesis deals with the needs of patients with thyroid disease. The work is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical. Thyroid diseases include goiter, inflammation, tumors, hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. This work is focused on the needs of patients with hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. The two diseases differ in thyroid function, which is reduced in hypothyroidism and increased in hyperthyroidism. Both diseases are accompanied by many non-specific symptoms that occur in all systems. The treatment of the disease takes place in hypothyroidism in the replacement of thyroid hormones and in hyperthyroidism either also in the replacement of hormones or it is solved operatively or with the help of radioactive iodine. It is important to adhere to the treatment, as even in these two diseases, symptoms may increase and subsequent myxedema coma or thyrotoxic crisis may occur, which are life-threatening conditions. In the theoretical part, we also deal with the hierarchy of needs, because the nursing process is derived from this knowledge. The disease can affect the patient's needs in some way and in case of their dissatisfaction, the patient suffers in the physical, mental or social area. In the practical part of the bachelor thesis we dealt with qualitative research. This study consisted of ten probands treated with either hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. The method of semi-structured interview was chosen for data collection, which was used in communication with probands suffering from thyroid disease. The interviews were formulated on the basic of the set goal: To map the needs of patients with thyroid disease. The research was conducted at home. The results we obtained from the interviewees through interviews were divided into several categories and subsequently processed. According to our research, a different need is important for each patient. However, I would like to note that even after using the medication, some respondents still struggle with fatigue, which they try to overcome to a certain extent, but even so they are sometimes forced to succumb to fatigue and go to rest during the day. I would also like to mention the reduced tolerance of the warm environment, which appeared in some respondents, and even after the use of medication in patients did not disappear. Finally, I would like to point out that, according to our research, some respondents are afraid of pregnancy due to their illness, which is likely to limit them in the future. This work will serve students to obtain new information about the disease and could also serve as a source of information for newly diagnosed patients.

Foods affecting function of the thyroid glande
Ciprová, Markéta ; Chrpová, Diana (advisor) ; Ezechiášová, Věra (referee)
6 Abstract Basis: This master's thesis deals with the issue of foods affecting thyroid function. The thyroid gland is an important endocrine organ involved in many bodily processes, it is completely dependent on external iodine intake and at the same time it is susceptible to some naturally occurring antinutritive substances. The main subject of research were therefore the sources of iodine and strumigenic substances in the diet and their occurrence in the diet of adults. The main sources for this thesis include the monograph Thyroid Gland, organized by Zdeňka Límanová, websites of professional institutions of the Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic and the World Health Organization and of course current studies dealing with this issue available in world health databases. The topic was chosen by the author on the basis of finding current topics in the field of nutrition, that have not yet been reserched by other students in the Nutrition Specialist field of study in recent years. Aims: The primary goal of the master's thesis was to examine and process current issues of thyroid function, especially in connection with the consumption of foods that affect this function. For this purpose, a questionnaire was compiled to obtain sufficient base and data to determine the average consumption of iodine and...

Thyroid hormones, their importance and exposure to cold
Špínová, Šárka ; Žurmanová, Jitka (advisor) ; Krulová, Magdaléna (referee)
Thyroid hormones are essential mainly for prenatal development and they maintain the homeostasis of many organs and body processes in adulthood. Therefore, the correct function of the regulatory axis between the hypothalamus, pituitary gland and thyroid gland is very important. Lack of these hormones is manifested, for example, by the formation of goiter, cretenism and bradycardia, excess in weight loss, ophthalmopathy, excessive sweating, tachycardia and also goiter formation. A serious problem is also the mutation of thyroid hormone receptors in target tissues. It causes nervous system disorders, hearing, vision, digestive system, incorrect cardiac function, delayed growth and mental development. Thyroid hormones are essential for the formation and activation of brown adipose tissue. This, together with the shivering thermogenesis of skeletal muscle, is involved in facultative thermogenesis, helping homoeothermic mammals to maintain a constant body core temperature. In addition, brown adipose tissue is an important endocrine organ that secretes active substances called batokines upon cold activation. Batokines have beneficial effects in the treatment of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. So we can assume that cold adaptation could effectively help in the treatment of civilization...

The role of radiologist assistant in radioiodine diagnostics and treatment of thyroid cancer
Hrbek, Jaroslav ; Táborská, Kateřina (referee) ; Vlček, Petr (advisor)
The bachelors thesis on the task of a radiological assistant during radioiodine diagnostics and treatment of thyroid gland carcinomas deals with the issue of thyroid gland carcinomas in the Czech Republic. It contains a brief overview of the types of carcinomas that affect the thyroid gland, their classification, diagnostics and therapy, concentrating on utilisation of modern examination methods and therapeutic practices, including among others application of radioiodine. The thesis also contains cases of four patients with similar diagnoses, the comparison of the development of whose respective illnesses I found interesting. Last but not least, the thesis includes a number of annexes comprising among others tables with important instructions for patients before and after application of radioiodine, and photographs from the site where the radioiodine application takes place Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
