Kostní dysplazie jsou širokou, heterogenní skupinou chorob. Thanatoforická dysplazie patří mezi nejčastější letální kostní dysplazie. Základem diagnostiky je kvalitní ultrazvukové vyšetření ve II. trimestru a nejnovější metody genetického testování vč. vyšetření klinického exomu. Znalost správné diagnózy je klíčová pro budoucnost plodu i páru.
Bone dysplasias are a broad, heterogeneous group of diseases. Thanatophoric dysplasia is a rare bone dysplasia, but it is the most common lethal skeletal dysplasias. The major role in diagnostics plays a high-quality ultrasound examination in the 2nd trimester and the latest methods of genetic testing, including clinical exome testing. Knowing the correct diagnosis is crucial for the future of the fetus and the couple.

OBJECTIVES: Postpartum retained products of conception are a relatively rare diagnosis occurring in approximately 1% of cases after spontaneous deliveries and abortions. The most common clinical signs are bleeding and abdominal pain. The diagnosis is based on clinical signs and ultrasound examination. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective analysis of 200 surgical procedures for the diagnosis of residua postpartum obtained in 64 months. We correlated the method and accuracy of diagnosis with definitive histological findings. RESULTS: During 64 months, we performed 23 412 deliveries. The frequency of procedures for diagnosis of retained products of conception (RPOC) was 0.85%. Most (73.5%) of the D&C were performed within six weeks of delivery. Histologically, the correct diagnosis was confirmed in 62% (chorion + amniotic envelope). There was interestingly lower concordance of histologically confirmed RPOC in post-CS patients (only 42%). In women after spontaneous delivery of the placenta, the diagnosis of RPOC was confirmed by histological correlate in 63%, and the highest concordance occurred in women after manual removal of the placenta in 75%. CONCLUSIONS: Concordance with histological findings of chorion or amnion was seen in 62% of cases; this means that the incidence rate in our study was around 0.53%. The lowest concordance is after CS deliveries, 42%. D&C for RPOC should be performed after adequate clinical evaluation and in the knowledge of 38% false positivity. There is certainly more space for a conservative approach under appropriate clinical conditions, especially in patients after CS.

OBJECTIVES: The good healing of the hysterotomy after cesarean section is important for subsequent pregnancies. However, the factors which improve this healing have not been completely described, yet. In this study, we focused on factors which may affect healing of hysterotomy within one year after delivery, such as menstruation, breastfeeding, and the use of the contraception. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Following delivery, total of 540 women were invited for three consecutive visits at six weeks, six months, and 12 months postpartum. The presence of menstruation, frequency of breastfeeding and contraception use were recorded. The scar was evaluated by vaginal ultrasound as already described. The impact of menstruation, breastfeeding, and contraception method on presence of niche was evaluated. RESULTS: The presence of menstruation increased odds to have niche by 45% (CI 1.046-2.018, p = 0.026). Secondarily, our results demonstrated a statistically significant protective effect of breastfeeding on the incidence of niche with OR 0.703 (CI 0.517-0.955, p = 0.024). Breastfeeding decreases odds to have niche by 30%. Also, the use of gestagen contraception lowered the odds by 40% and intrauterine device (IUD) or combine oral contraceptive (COC) by 46.5%. The other possibly intervening factors were statistically controlled. CONCLUSIONS: Amenorrhea, breast-feeding and progesterone-contraceptive decreases the risk of uterine niche within one year follow up.

OBJECTIVES: Pregnant women are among the priority groups to receive influenza vaccines in the Czech Republic since 2011, data on vaccination coverage are not yet available. The aim of the study was to determine the influenza vaccination coverage (IVC) and provide source data for further activities. METHODS: A prospective observational study was performed in a large maternity hospital in Prague. The self-completed questionnaire was distributed to 5,475 pregnant women between September 1, 2020 and August 31, 2021. Questions included maternal sociodemographic characteristics, influenza vaccination status and sources of maternal vaccination recommendations during pregnancy. RESULTS: A total of 4,617 completed questionnaires have been analysed. The median age of study participants (N = 4,592) was 33 years (range: 18-51 years). The majority (69.7%) of women had completed their university education, most women were childless (58.5%) or had one child (32.5%) before the start of the study. Less than 2% of women reported being vaccinated against influenza during their pregnancy (1.5%; 95% CI, 1.1-1.9%). Only 21% of women knew that it's possible to get vaccinated against influenza during pregnancy. Participants considered influenza vaccination in pregnancy as important (3.3%), useful (41.1%) and useless (44.4%). Out of 959 pregnant women who had information about influenza vaccination during pregnancy, only 6.9% were vaccinated, while among those who did not have this information, 0.1% were vaccinated during pregnancy (p < 0.001). The most frequent source of information was Internet, then media and a general practitioner. CONCLUSIONS: The IVC during pregnancy in our study was extremely low. In order to improve IVC among pregnant women, it is necessary to increase awareness of recommendations and vaccination options among the public and professionals and incorporating vaccination recommendation in routine antenatal practice.

OBJECTIVES: This observational study aimed to analyse data from big maternity hospital, determine the vaccination coverage and provide source information for further activities. BACKGROUND: Although vaccination of pregnant women against pertussis is recommended in the Czech Republic, data on vaccination coverage are not available. METHODS: The self-completed questionnaire was distributed to 5,475 pregnant women in the maternity hospital between 2020 and 2021. Questionnaires collected mother's sociodemographic characteristics, pertussis vaccination status and sources of recommendations for vaccinations during pregnancy. RESULTS: A total of 4,617 completed questionnaires were analysed. Pertussis vaccination coverage during pregnancy was 1.6 % (95% confidence interval, 1.3-2.0 %). Only 12.5 % of women knew about the possibility of being vaccinated against pertussis during pregnancy. Women considered pertussis vaccination in pregnancy as important (12.9 %), useful (49.1 %) and useless (24.0 %). Of 579 pregnant women who had information about pertussis vaccination during pregnancy, only 12.1 % were vaccinated, while among those who did not have this information, 0.1% were vaccinated during pregnancy (p < 0.001). The most frequent source of information was Internet, then a general practitioner. CONCLUSION: It is necessary to raise awareness of recommendations for pregnancy vaccination among public and professionals, to emphasize the benefits of such vaccination in order to increase the vaccination coverage (Tab. 3, Ref. 31).

OBJECTIVES: Pregnancy is often associated with reduced sleep quality and an increase in sleep disorders, such as restless leg syndrome, obstructive sleep apnea, and insomnia. There are few studies investigating the prevalence of parasomnias in pregnancy, although they may be expected to be a significant problem, as disturbed sleep in this time period in addition to these sleep disorders may trigger parasomnia episodes. METHODS: We conducted a survey using an online questionnaire focusing on a comparison of the prevalence of parasomnias in three time periods: 3 months before pregnancy, during pregnancy, and 3 months after delivery. We also inquired about psychiatric and neurological comorbidities, current anxiety and depression symptoms, and pregnancy complications. RESULTS: A total of 325 women (mean age 30.3 ± 5.3 years) participated in the online survey. The overall number of reported parasomnias increased during pregnancy compared to the 3 months before pregnancy (p < 0.001) and decreased after childbirth (p < 0.001). Specifically, we found a significant increase in sleepwalking (p = 0.02) and night terrors (p < 0.001), as well as in vivid dreams (p < 0.001) and nightmares (p < 0.001) during pregnancy. A similar significant increase during pregnancy was reported for head explosion (p < 0.011). In contrast, the number of episodes of sleep paralysis increased after delivery (p = 0.008). At the individual level, an increase in the severity/frequency of individual parasomnia episodes was also observed during pregnancy. Participants whose vivid dreams/nightmares persisted after delivery had higher BDI-II and STAI-T scores. Our data also suggest a significant impact of migraines and other chronic pain, as well as complications during pregnancy, on the presence of parasomnia episodes in our cohort. CONCLUSIONS: We have shown that the prevalence of parasomnias increases during pregnancy and needs to be targeted, especially by non-pharmacological approaches. At the same time, it is necessary to inquire about psychiatric and neurological comorbidities and keep in mind that more sleep disorders may be experienced by mothers who have medical complications during pregnancy.

V našem přehledovém článku jsme se zaměřili na raritní téma endometriózy v postmenopauze. Endometrióza je především onemocněním žen v reprodukčním věku. V postmenopauze většinou dochází k atrofizaci ložisek endometriózy. Ovšem byla popsána i rekurence nebo dokonce de novo výskyt endometriózy v postmenopauze. Prevalence v postmenopauze se uvádí okolo 2–5 %. Faktory, které mohou stát za rekurencí endometriózy, jsou exogenně podávané estrogeny, vlastní produkce estrogenů v periferní tukové tkáni nebo aktivace aromatázy v ložisku endometriózy. Při nutnosti hormonální terapie dosahuje nejlepších výsledků podávání Tibolonu. Rizikovými faktory rekurence a následných obtíží jsou rozsah endometriózy, ponechaná děloha a adnexa. Nejčastějším symptomem byla bolest ve 43,5 % a ve 28 % palpační nález. Endometriotické buňky jsou schopné proliferace, schopné přežití v ektopické lokalizaci a metastazování do vzdálených lokalizací. Riziko maligní transformace se pohybuje okolo 1 % a nejčastěji se jedná o ovariální nádory. S endometriózou asociované ovariální nádory jsou typicky low grade onemocněním, histologicky se jedná o endometrioidní nebo clear cell karcinomy. Diagnostika je založena na ultrazvuku a magnetické rezonanci. Základem terapie u nově vzniklé endometriózy nebo při objevení se symptomů spojených s rizikem endometriózy je operační řešení, především k vyloučení nádorového procesu.
In our review article, we focused on the rare topic of endometriosis in postmenopause. Endometriosis is primarily a disease of women of reproductive age. In postmenopause, atrophy of endometriosis foci usually occurs. However, recurrence or even de novo occurrence of endometriosis in postmenopause has also been described. The prevalence in postmenopause has been reported to be around 2–5%. Factors that may account for the recurrence of endometriosis are exogenously administered estrogens, self-production of estrogens in peripheral adipose tissue, or activation of aromatase in the focus of endometriosis. When hormonal therapy is required, the best results are achieved by administration of Tibolone. Risk factors for recurrence and subsequent difficulties are the extent of endometriosis, the retained uterus and adnexa. Pain was the most common symptom in 43.5% and palpable finding in 28%. Endometriotic cells are capable of proliferation, survival in an ectopic localization and metastasis to distant locations. The risk of malignant transformation is around 1% and the most common are ovarian tumors. Endometriosis-associated ovarian tumors are typically low-grade disease, histologically endometrioid or clear cell carcinomas. Diagnosis is based on ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging. The basis of therapy for newly developed endometriosis or when symptoms associated with the risk of endometriosis appear is a surgical solution, primarily to exclude the cancerous process.

Cíl: Podat přehled o etiologii a časné diagnostice trojčetné gravidity, s důrazem na možnosti zobrazení magnetickou rezonancí (MR) a ultrazvukem (UZ). Metodika: Zpracování údajů z dostupné literatury o problematice trojčetné gravidity. Závěr: Spontánní koncepce trojčetné gravidity je vzácná. Ve většině případů se jedná o koncepci spojenou s metodami asistované reprodukce. Vícečetná gravidita je spojena s častějším výskytem komplikací v průběhu těhotenství i porodu, má ale i své specifické komplikace. Při stanovování strategie dispenzární péče v těhotenství a vedení porodu jsou dvěma významnými parametry chorionicita a amnionicita vícečetné gravidity. Pro jejich přesné určení v časném těhotenství je rozhodující využití UZ vyšetření a MR zobrazení.
Objective: To provide an overview of the etiology and early diagnosis of triple pregnancy, with emphasis on the possibilities of ultrasound and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Methodology: Processing of data from the available literature on the issue of triple pregnancy. Conclusion: Spontaneous triple pregnancy conception is rare. In most cases, it is a concept associated with assisted reproduction methods. Multiple pregnancy is associated with a higher incidence of complications during pregnancy and childbirth, but it also has its own specific complications. Chorionicity and amnionicity of multiple pregnancies are two important parameters in determining the strategy of dispensary care in pregnancy and management of childbirth. The use of ultrasound and MR imaging is crucial for their accurate determination in early pregnancy.
