Nasal bone in screening for Trisomy 18 and 13 at 11-13 + 6 weeks of gestation - own experiences.

Objectives: The objective of the paper is the suitability assessment of screening for Trisomy 18 and 13 on the basis of NT measurement, FHR, double test and assessment of Nasal Bone.

Material And Methods: The study was performed in 6,661 singleton pregnancies. In each fetus NT, FHR, DV-PIV were examined.

A Retrospective Study on the Risk of Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Singleton Pregnancies with Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes between 24+0 and 36+6 Weeks, Using Regression Analysis for Various Factors.

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the cause of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in neonates from singleton pregnancies with preterm premature rupture of membranes (pPROM) between 24+0 and 36+6 weeks by using regression analysis for various factors.

Methods: In 175 singleton pregnancies with pPROM, 95 cases of RDS (54,29%) were diagnosed. In all cases the following information was collected: latency period of PROM, gestational age at birth, Umbilical Artery Pulsatility Index (UA PI), Middle Cerebral Artery Pulsatility Index (MCA PI), fetal distress, antenatal steroids use, delivery type, pregnancy hypertension disease, gestational glucose intolerance or diabetes, neonatal laboratory parameters, gender, weight, Apgar score, and other neonatal complications.

Evaluation of selected ultrasonography parameters in the second stage of labor in prediction mode of delivery.

Objectives: The aim of the study is to determine the usefulness of ultrasound parameters in the second stage of labor in prediction of the method of delivery and to evaluate the benefits to be derived from this study.

Material And Methods: Ultrasound scan was performed with Convex transabdominal probe on 68 pregnant women in labor at term with fetuses in cephalic presentation at the beginning of the second stage of labor and parameters such as angle of progression, head progression distance, head-symphysis distance and head-perineum distance were measured. The parameters were observed in two scans: a midline scan visualizing the pubic symphysis with the head of the fetus and a transverse scan approximately 1-2 cm below the pubic symphysis visualizing the head of the fetus.

Clear cell carcinoma derived from an endometriosis focus in a scar after a caesarean section--a case report and literature review.

Endometriosis is defined as the occurrence of endometrial glands and endometrial stromal cells outside their typical localization within the uterus. Malignant transformation of endometriosis foci in a scar after a caesarean section (cc) is very rare--until 2013 (in a span of 40 years), about 40 such cases have been described. In our article, we describe a case of a 42-year-old woman with a tumour localized in a scar after a caesarean section.
