Objective: To study the impact of a CT serology on intrauterine insemination (IUI) cumulative live-birth rate (cLBR) in women with documented bilateral tubal patency.
Design: Cohort study SUBJECTS: Infertile women with documented bilateral tubal patency and medical indication of IUI matched on the following criteria: woman's age, number of cycles completed and number of motile sperm inseminated (NMSI).
Exposure: This retrospective, observational and monocentric cohort study compared women with positive CT serology matched 1:1 to control women with negative CT serology.
Study Objective: To evaluate whether laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) offers advantages over conventional laparoscopy (CL) in benign adnexal surgery.
Design: Randomized controlled study.
Setting: Gynecology-Obstetrics Unit of the University Hospital of the Conception in Marseille, France.
Background: To investigate the educational outcomes of siblings of childhood leukemia survivors, explore determinants of school difficulties, and compare the rates of repeating grades between siblings and the general population.
Methods: A cross-sectional study of childhood leukemia survivors' siblings recruited through the Leucémies de l'Enfant et de l'Adolescent cohort, a French long-term follow-up program, was conducted, and education-related data were obtained via self-report questionnaires. Adjusted logistic regression models were used to identify variables associated with school difficulties and time since diagnosis.

Research Question: Does positive Chlamydia trachomatis serology have an impact on the cumulative live birth rate from IVF?
Design: A retrospective matched cohort study compared women with positive Chlamydia trachomatis serology (group A) who underwent IVF treatment between January 2016 and December 2021 with a control group of women with negative Chlamydia trachomatis serology (group B). The main outcome measures were the cumulative live birth rate per IVF cycle and the live birth rate per embryo transfer. Secondary outcomes were the cumulative rates of clinical pregnancy, ectopic pregnancy and pregnancy loss calculated per IVF cycle and per embryo transfer.

Objective: To evaluate the evolution of endometriomas with or without medical treatment.
Methods: This retrospective observational study was performed at the Gynaecological Center, Hôpital La Conception (Assistance Publique Hopitaux de Marseille). We reviewed clinical data of patients with at least one endometrioma diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and at least one other MRI exam after more than three months.
Background: Two-thirds of pregnant women suffer from low-back pain during pregnancy, which leads to negative effects on quality of everyday life. According to the literature, an 8- to 12-week program of adapted physical activity during pregnancy has proven its efficacy in treatment of low-back pain and functional disability. Stretching Postural is a nondynamic technique using muscular contractions and stretches that act mainly on the back and that can be practiced alone.

Design: In this retrospective matched cohort study, women with moderate-to-severe endometriosis undergoing IVF or intracytoplasmic sperm injection treatment from January 2015 to December 2020 were matched 1:2 to women with other causes of infertility (control group). The main outcome was cLBR per cycle and per woman, and secondary outcomes were number of oocytes retrieved and number of mature oocytes, fertilization rate, total number of embryos and usable embryos, implantation rate, clinical pregnancy rate and miscarriage rate per cycle.
Results: In total, 195 women with endometriosis were matched with 390 women without endometriosis (323 and 646 cycles, respectively).
Purpose: Late post-pancreatectomy hemorrhage (PPH) represents the most severe complication after pancreatic surgery. We have measured the efficacy of major vessels "flooring" with falciform/round ligament to prevent life-threatening grade C late PPH after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) and distal pancreatectomy (DP).
Methods: All consecutive patients who underwent PD and DP between 2013 and 2021 were retrospectively reviewed on a prospectively maintained database.
Purpose: In the context of pediatric cancer, siblings' adaptation and needs have been previously investigated; however, research on the long-term consequences on siblings, especially on their family environment, is scarce. We aimed to (1) assess the family functioning (FF) perceived by siblings of childhood leukemia survivors long after diagnosis and (2) explore characteristics likely associated and investigate associations with psycho-behavioral and social factors.
Methods: Childhood leukemia survivors' siblings older than 11 years were recruited through the LEA cohort, a French long-term follow-up program, and completed the family assessment device (FAD).
β-thalassemia is an haemoglobinopathy characterized by a defective synthesis of the β-globin chain. To assess the current state of health of paediatric patients with β-thalassemia, data from the French national registry regarding children born between 2005 and 2020 with β-thalassemia intermedia (TI) or major (TM) were collected. A total of 237 patients (median age 7.

Because brothers and sisters may encounter emotional problems that can remain for a long time and that only few studies have assessed their long-term outcome, our present objectives were to describe the long-term quality of life (QoL) of childhood leukemia survivors' siblings and to explore its determinant.
Methods: Brothers and sisters (from 8-year-old) of survivors included in the French LEA Cohort completed a QoL questionnaire (according to their age).

Introduction: The main objective was to estimate the prevalence of cervical dysplasia among incarcerated women. The secondary objective was to identify obstacles to the possible management of a cervical dysplasia in detention by assessing their knowledge of screening for cervical cancer (CC), the existence of vaccination, and the management of precancerous lesions.
Materials And Methods: The first part of the study was descriptive and retrospective, studying pap-smear results in women's correctional facility at the Baumettes prison center (PC) in Marseille, France.
