ŠTÝSOVÁ, A. Use of bibliotherapy in the prevention of socially pathological phenomena in adolescents. Thesis. Prague: Department of Special Education, Faculty of Education, Charles University in Prague. Leader: Mgr. Barbara Valešová Malecová, Ph.D., 2021, 108 p. The diploma thesis The use of bibliotherapy in the prevention of socially pathological phenomena in adolescents focuses on the use of bibliotherapy as a therapeutic tool for the prevention of socially pathological phenomena, specifically substance abuse. The target group are adolescent students with some form of social disadvantage. The work is divided into two parts - theoretical and practical. The first part is theoretical and mentions important developmental milestones that may be related to the issue of substance abuse in adolescents. It also defines the basic theoretical basis for the prevention of socially pathological phenomena and their legislative entrenchment. It also summarizes the basic knowledge about bibliotherapy and possible specifics of its use in adolescents. The second part is practical and its aim is to create a proposal for a comprehensive bibliotherapeutic program for the prevention of substance abuse and then to determine its impact on students in action research. Part of the research is also the evaluation of the use...

Background: The prognostic significance of chest pain is well established in patients with coronary artery disease, but still ill defined in primary prevention. Therefore, the aim of our analysis was to assess the prognostic value of different forms of chest pain in a large cohort of primary care subjects under the conditions of contemporary modalities of care in primary prevention, including measurement of serum levels of the biomarker NT-pro-BNP. Design: We carried out a post-hoc analysis of the prospective DETECT cohort study. Methods: In a total of 5570 unselected subjects, free of coronary artery disease, within the 55,518 participants of the cross-sectional DETECT study, we assessed chest pain history by a comprehensive questionnaire and measured serum NT-pro-BNP levels. Three types of chest pain, which were any chest pain, exertional chest pain and classical angina, were defined. Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs = cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, coronary revascularization procedures) were assessed during a 5-year follow-up period. Results: During follow-up, 109 subjects experienced a MACE. All types of reported chest pain were associated with an approximately three-fold increased risk for the occurrence of incident MACEs, even after adjusting for cardiovascular risk factors. Any form of reported chest pain had a similar predictive value for MACEs as a one-time measurement of NT-pro-BNP. However, adding a single measurement of NT-pro-BNP and the information on chest pain resulted in reclassification of approximately 40% of subjects, when compared with risk prediction based on established cardiovascular risk factors. Conclusions: In primary prevention, self-reported chest pain and a single measurement of NT-pro-BNP substantially improve cardiovascular risk prediction and allow for risk reclassification of approximately 40% of the subjects compared with assessing classical cardiovascular risk factors alone.

Cancer chemoprevention uses noncytotoxic drugs or nutrients to prevent, retard, or delay carcinogenesis. The future of cancer chemoprevention depends on understanding key cellular growth and proliferation-controlling events, developing markers of molecular carcinogenesis, surrogate endpoint biomarkers, and targeted chemopreventive approaches.
