BACKGROUND: Maladaptive fear of movement in individuals with low back pain may be associated with worse clinical outcomes. OBJECTIVE: To explore beliefs about the perceived dangers regarding different spinal postures within the Czech Republic. DESIGN: Exploratory cross-sectional study including physiotherapists and members of the general public. METHODS: Self-reported perceived safety/danger of "straight" and "flexed" spinal postures regarding 1) sitting, 2) lifting of light and 3) heavy object from the floor based on three pairs of photographs was measured using numeric rating scales (0-10, safe to dangerous) without any given context and in the context of low back pain. The sum of differences between the ratings of flexed and straight postures were used to calculate Bending Safety Beliefs Thermometer (BSBThermometer) total score potentially ranging -60‒60 (higher values indicates evaluation of flexed spinal postures as more dangerous in comparison to straight postures). RESULTS: 760 participants were included in the analysis. The mean BSBThermometer total score was 31.1 (SD 16.1) and higher scores were positively associated with being women (b = 14.8, 95% CI [9.9-19.8]); non-medical profession (b = 24.7, 95% CI [15.2-34.2]); age (b = 0.38, 95% CI [0.16-0.6]; and their interactions. There was no significant association with current low back pain status or history of low back pain. CONCLUSIONS: On average, participants evaluated "flexed" spinal postures as significantly more dangerous when compared with "straight" spinal postures, with only subgroups of physiotherapists scoring lower than the general public. Clinically, these beliefs could be targeted by individualized education, exposure-based interventions and public campaigns; however, further research is required.

PURPOSE: The Core Outcome Measures Index (COMI) is a short, multidimensional instrument translated into several languages that covers five domains recommended in the assessment of outcome in patients with low-back and neck pain. The purpose of this study was to cross-culturally adapt the COMI from English to Czech language and to test the face and construct validity and reproducibility of its results in patients with low-back and neck pain. METHODS: Participants (n = 125) were included from primary and secondary care. The participants reported moderate pain and disability levels. All participants filled in the COMI forms before and after surgery. Descriptive statistics, Wilcoxon paired test, Crombach's alpha, principal component analysis and information entropy calculation were used. RESULTS: The instrument was successfully forward and back-translated. It can be seen that the questionnaire applied as part of our intervention study produces answers with a sufficient degree of variability and with a satisfactory degree of representation of extreme values. It can be also seen that the questionnaire can diagnose an objectively occurring change associated with the surgeon within the intervention procedure. Our other findings support the idea of ​​a possible reduction in the number of questions that measure the same latent variable. Our investigations also showed that it is possible to reduce the range of the point scale of the perception of pain to 5 degrees of intensity and thus unify the range with the other questions. CONCLUSION: The Czech COMI shows acceptable properties and is thus suitable to use as a short instrument for measuring important domains in patients with low-back and neck pain.

BACKGROUND: Vertebral fragility fractures (VFFs) commonly result from low bone mass and microarchitecture deterioration of bone tissue. spinal orthoses are common non-pharmacological options for managing vertebral fracture pain. However, the effects of spinal orthoses on pain, physical functioning, and quality of life (QoL) are still debated. OBJECTIVE: This survey aimed to investigate the patients-reported outcomes of a dynamic spinal orthosis prescribed in the routine clinical practice of VFFs management. METHODS: This multi-center national-wide prospective cohort study assessed older patients (aged > 60 years) diagnosed with acute VFFs and prescribed with a dynamic spinal orthosis (Spinfast®). A survey questionnaire was realized and included sections on patient characterization, osteoporosis characterization, spinal orthosis, clinical outcomes, pain medications, and osteoporosis medications. The questionnaire was administered at baseline and after three months. A total of 68 patients completed the questionnaire at three months. Most patients had one or two VFFs and were treated with pain medications and osteoporosis medications. Compliance and tolerability of the spinal orthosis were assessed, and clinical outcomes such as pain intensity, physical functioning, and QoL were measured. RESULTS: The results showed no significant differences in outcomes between age subgroups. Italian physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians were commonly involved in the management of VFFs patients. Sixty-six patients completed the questionnaire. The results showed that pain intensity, physical functioning and QoL improved after three months of spinal orthosis wearing (p< 0.0001). CONCLUSION: The correct management of VFFs is mandatory to improve pain and reduce disability, and our findings suggested a positive role of dynamic spinal orthosis to improve the comprehensive management of VFFs patients. However, high-quality research trials are warranted to provide clear recommendations for the correct clinical management of VFF.

AIM: This study aimed to analyse cross-cultural differences in the prevalence of low back pain (LBP) and other back pain of general nurses in direct inpatient care in the Czech Republic (CZ) and Great Britain (GB). METHODS: The survey was used using an extended standardized Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire and self-created additional questions. The data were analysed with Stata 15 using a significance level of 0.05. RESULTS: The data analysis was based on 1043 questionnaires. We identified statistically significant differences in the LBP prevalence between the respondents (CZ 93% and GB 85%) over a period of 12 months. Nurses in both countries stated a higher prevalence of LBP compared to pain in the neck, shoulders or upper back. LBP increases in relation to age, length of work experience, body mass index (BMI) and university education (BSc). Age, length of work experience, BMI and education (nursing college and master's degree) were confirmed as significant risks contributing to the increased prevalence of other back pain as well. Respondents reported a reduction in work performance, leisure activities and the need to change profession in relation to LBP. CONCLUSION: The results of the study confirm that LBP is a frequent occupational health issue in the general nurses working in direct inpatient care in both countries.

OBJECTIVES: This project aimed to promote running as the best treatment for lower back pain (LBP) in an outpatient setting. INTRODUCTION: LBP is one of the most prevalent conditions worldwide. Sixty-two percent of all Germans experience episodes of non-specific back pain at least once a year, with one-fifth developing chronic conditions. Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is a natural process, contributing to periods of acute LBP. However, the scientific literature and guidelines partially overlook the significance of water management in IVD. This implementation project sought to address this gap by educating patients about this process. Running and/or walking were chosen as general approaches for treatment rather than specific disease-related approaches. METHODS: This implementation project was conducted in an outpatient physiotherapy clinic in Brandenburg, Germany, utilizing the JBI Evidence Implementation Framework. An evidence-informed clinical audit and feedback strategy was used to measure compliance with ten audit criteria. Five physiotherapists and 20 patients took part in the audits. RESULTS: At baseline, only 20% of participating physiotherapists screened for yellow flags regarding psychological issues. However, after project implementation, this criterion scored 100% compliance. Some patients performed exercises independently, but confusion persisted regarding the choice of beneficial exercises. Patients continued running, but those who took a break due to pain expressed uncertainty about resuming. CONCLUSIONS: The project highlighted the effectiveness of collaborative efforts between patients and therapists to address the issue. The project team's conviction in action and solution strategies serves as the foundation for this collaboration. This implementation strategy provided "running" patients with the confidence to either resume or reintegrate running after an extended break. SPANISH ABSTRACT: http://links.lww.com/IJEBH/A222.

OBJECTIVE: Chronic low back pain, affecting up to 58% of the population, often stems from intervertebral disc degeneration. Although magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is commonly used for diagnostics, challenges arise in pinpointing pain sources due to frequent asymptomatic findings. Single-photon emission tomography (SPECT) integrated with computed tomography (CT) offers a promising approach, enhancing sensitivity and specificity. METHODS: In this retrospective study, spanning 2016 to 2022, SPECT/CT imaging was performed on 193 patients meeting specific criteria. We correlated SPECT/CT findings with lumbar MRI results, utilizing Pfirrmann and Rajasekaran classifications for disc degeneration and endplate damage assessment. Logistic regression analysis adjusted for age and sex evaluated associations. RESULTS: Of 965 spinal levels assessed, SPECT/CT positivity strongly correlated with higher Pfirrmann grades and Rajasekaran endplate classifications. Notably, Modic changes (MCs) on MRI displayed a nonsignificant relationship with SPECT/CT positivity. Significant associations were observed in older patients with positive MCs, Pfirrmann grades, and Rajasekaran classifications. CONCLUSIONS: This comprehensive study, the largest of its kind, establishes a significant link between SPECT/CT positivity and advanced lumbar degenerative changes. Higher Pfirrmann grades and increased Rajasekaran endplate damage demonstrated substantial correlations with SPECT/CT positivity. Notably, MCs did not exhibit such association. Our findings underscore the potential of SPECT/CT in identifying pain generators in degenerative spinal conditions, offering valuable insights for future interventions.

Odloučení placenty může být katastrofální událostí s následky pro matku i plod. Prezentujeme masivní odloučení placenty, ke kterému došlo u mladé asymptomatické matky v 30. týdnu těhotenství. Ačkoli elektronický monitoring plodu a ultrazvuk umožnily rychlou diagnózu retroplacentárního hematomu o velikosti 8 × 5 cm, plod během akutního císařského řezu odumřel. Plod byl intubován a resuscitován, ale neúspěšně. Histologické vyšetření placenty prokázalo ztenčené a na sebe navrstvené choriové klky se zvýšeným množstvím kapilár a syncitiálními hnízdy a ložisky fibrinoidní nekrózy za přítomnosti hyalinních pruhů jak na straně matky, tak na straně plodu.

Abruptio placenta can be a catastrophic event with a high association with adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. We present a case of massive abruptio placenta occurring in a young asymptomatic mother at 30 weeks‘ gestation. Although electronic fetal monitoring and ultrasound allowed a prompt diagnosis of an 8 × 5 cm retroplacental hematoma, the fetus died at the time of emergency cesarean section. The fetus was intubated, but could not be resuscitated. Histologic examination of the placenta documented thinning and stacked hypercapillarized villi, with syncytial buds and foci of fibrinoid necrosis in the presence of hyaline streaks on both the maternal and fetal sides.
