Summary: Impact of Chlamydia trachomatis infection on chronic pelvic pain. The aim of the study was to determine whether women with chronic pelvic pain and Chlamydia infection differ from women with chronic pelvic pain without Chlamydia infection in respect of findings on laparoscopy and sexual behaviour. In a study conducted from April 2006 to December 2009, we monitored a group of 129 female patients suffering from chronic pelvic pain of more than 6 months duration. All monitored patients underwent laparoscopy, and during the procedure, swabs were taken from their Fallopian tubes and cervix, which were immunofluorescensed for the presence of Chlamydia trachomatis antigen. The patients were divided into two groups (Chlamydia positive and Chlamydia negative) according to the presence of Chlamydia antigen. The patients completed questionnaires covering the age at first sexual intercourse, number of lifetime and current sexual partners, frequency of sexual intercourse and the method of contraception. The differences in findings on laparoscopy and questionnaire results of women with positive and negative proof of Chlamydia infection were studied. Fisher's exact test was used for data description and group differences analysis. We observed that 30,2% (n=39) of a cohort of 129 women with chronic pelvic pain were...

At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries this became the largest Czech occupied base abroad. Over a hundred thousand Czechs lived in Chicago at that time so it was therefore considered to be the third largest Czech city. The topic of the dissertation thesis is the analysis the course of Czech migration to Chicago and the related development of the Czech minority. Key attention is devoted to the socio-cultural, economic and political development of the Czech minority in terms of ethno-historical methods. Furthermore, the author will focus on important historical milestones and events of this city, which in some way influenced the Czech minority. Time definition of work is 1852-1945 and follows from a historical perspective, because the first Czech immigrants arrive in greater numbers to this American territory only in the fifties of the 19th century. On the other hand, the Second World War concludes a period that was important for the Czech ethnic group in Chicago. After 1945 there is a significant assimilation process (the Czech minority is massively Americanized) and the Czech expatriate center is declining in importance.
