Study of postoperative complications after the implementation of a multidisciplinary care pathway for patients with digestive endometriosis.

Purpose: To assess the quality of care following the establishment of a multidisciplinary care pathway for patient operated on for deep pelvic endometriosis with digestive impairment.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective monocentric study of patients suffering from deep infiltrating endometriosis, treated in Gynaecological Department at Toulouse University Hospital from January 2018 to December 2020. We compared our results to those of our previous study, Gornes et al.

Oncologic trogocytosis with Hospicells induces the expression of N-cadherin by breast cancer cells.

In breast cancers, the appearance of metastasis is synonymous with poor prognosis. The metastatic process is usually associated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) which is often induced by several soluble factors produced either by the tumour cells themselves or by cells constituting the tumour microenvironment. The aim of the present study was to determine whether the mesenchymal properties given by some molecules such as N-cadherin, for instance, could be acquired by cancer cells via the trogocytosis process with cells of the tumour microenvironment.

[Immediate fetal-maternal morbidity of first instrumental vaginal delivery using Thierry's spatulas. A prospective continuous study of 195 fetal extractions].

Objectives: To investigate the immediate fetal-maternal morbidity related to Thierry's spatula for first instrumental vaginal delivery.

Patients And Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study in Toulouse university hospital, including primiparas who vaginally delivered a live singleton cephalic infant>36 WG, between December 2005 and June 2006. Instrumental deliveries were performed using short spatulas in all cases.

Paratubal endometrioid cystadenocarcinoma: case report and review.

Background: Paratubal masses are common, but paratubal carcinoma is an extremely rare entity.

Case: We report a case of a 44-year-old nulliparous female who suffered from abdominal pain for three months. Abdominal and pelvic ultrasound revealed a 30 cm left adnexal mass originally.

Factors predicting the sentinel node metastases in T1 breast cancer tumor: an analysis of 1416 cases.

Aim: To determine the factors associated with the metastatic involvement of sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy in patients with early breast cancer.

Study Design: This was a retrospective study of patients with T1 invasive breast cancer who underwent SLN biopsy at Claudius Regaud Institute between January 2001 and September 2008.

Results: 1416 patients were recruited into this study.

Chronic intervillositis of unknown etiology (CIUE): relation between placental lesions and perinatal outcome.

Objectives: To evaluate perinatal outcome of pregnancies complicated by chronic intervillositis of unknown etiology (CIUE) and to study the relation between extent of such placental histological lesions and clinical expression.

Study Design: Descriptive and retrospective study including all cases of CIUE diagnosed between 2000 and 2006 in the university hospital of Toulouse (France). Perinatal outcome was evaluated according to the extent of placental lesions assessed by semi-quantitative graduation.

Oncologic trogocytosis of an original stromal cells induces chemoresistance of ovarian tumours.

Background: The microenvironment plays a major role in the onset and progression of metastasis. Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) tends to metastasize to the peritoneal cavity where interactions within the microenvironment might lead to chemoresistance. Mesothelial cells are important actors of the peritoneal homeostasis; we determined their role in the acquisition of chemoresistance of ovarian tumours.

[Critical study of our initial experience of 993 sentinel node biopsies for breast surgery].

Objective: Identification of sentinel node (SN) involvement predictive factors, non-sentinel node involvement predictive factors, selective prognosis of each group of patients by study of breast surgery cases with sentinel node sampling.

Methods: Prospective monocentric registering of 993 sentinel node samples routinely taken between January 2001 and October 2005, covering technical aspects of detection (colorimetric and radio-isotope), pathological results (serial sections 5 Mmicro thick prior to staining hematoxylin-eosine-saffron and if necessary, by immune histochemistry cytokeratine high molecular weight), therapeutics and follow-up (average period: 32 months (3-69).

Results: Seven hundred and sixteen patients (72.

[Can we still perform instrumental rotations using Thierry's spatula? Preliminary study among primiparous].

Objectives: To study immediate perineal and neonatal outcomes after instrumental rotational performed with Thierry's spatula among primiparous, and compare subsequent perineal tear with occiput posterior position delivery.

Materials And Methods: The study was performed from December 2005 to June 2006 at Paule-de-Viguier hospital (Toulouse university hospital) including all persistent occiput posterior vaginal deliveries among primiparous (49 patients). Mode of delivery was: 1) seven patients with spontaneous occiput anterior vaginal delivery (14.
