Introduction: Total nephrectomies for the treatment of Wilms' tumor (WT) are more and more performed by laparoscopy, although indications for this approach following the UMBRELLA guidelines are currently very restrictive. The purpose of this study was to assess the compliance to the criteria of the UMBRELLA protocol for minimally invasive approach of WT.
Methods: This retrospective multicenter study included children operated on by laparoscopic total nephrectomy for suspected WT before 2020.
Introduction: The Caregivers' Priorities and Child Health Index of Life with Disabilities (CPCHILD) is a questionnaire that measures the health-related quality of life (HRQL) of children with cerebral palsy (CP). Though measuring HRQL is challenging in these children, it is a valuable help for medical decision-making. There is no questionnaire to assess HRQL in French-speaking children with severe CP.

Patients And Methods: This procedure was performed following the methodology used in one hypospadias expert center to correct hypospadias in boys who are not elective for Koff procedure and in whom Koyanagi procedure is not needed. Operative details were described, and post-operative management were given as example.
Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed changes in the diagnosis and management of patients with two types of genetic deficiencies (SRD5A2 and HSD17B3) from 1994 to 2020, focusing on current diagnostic practices.
- Out of 52 patients, over half were diagnosed at birth, with a trend showing earlier diagnoses for those born after 2007, and a notable shift in initial sex assignment from predominantly female to increasingly male.
- Genetic testing revealed a variety of mutations in both genes, and the study concluded that there’s been a significant change in clinical approaches and therapeutic interventions based on evolving understanding of these conditions.
Context: Determination of steroid levels in the amniotic fluid gives some insight on fetal adrenal and gonadal functions.
Objective: Our objectives were to establish reference ranges of 12 steroid levels throughout pregnancy and to compare them with steroid levels from pregnancies with fetuses presenting with 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21OHD).
Methods: Liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was applied to 145 "control" amniotic fluid samples from gynecology activity (12 + 6 to 32 + 4 gestational weeks, GW).
