The impact of paternal age on cumulative assisted reproductive technology outcomes.

Objective: To investigate the impact of paternal age on cumulative live birth rate in ART.

Design: Retrospective single-center cohort study.

Patients: All female patients aged 18-43 years and male patients aged 18-60 years, who performed their first ART cycle between January 2018 and December 2020, were included.

Quantification of the Risk of Musculoskeletal Disorders of the Upper Limb Using Fuzzy Logic: A Study of Manual Wheelchair Propulsion.

Background: For manual wheelchair users, overuse of the upper limbs can cause upper limb musculoskeletal disorders, which can lead to a loss of autonomy. The main objective of this study was to quantify the risk level of musculoskeletal disorders of different slope propulsions in manual wheelchair users using fuzzy logic.

Methods: In total, 17 spinal cord injury participants were recruited.

Pregnancies and Gynecological Follow-Up after Solid Organ Transplantation: Experience of a Decade.

In recent years, solid organ transplantations, such as kidney or lung grafts, have been performed worldwide with an improvement of quality of life under immunosuppressive therapy and an increase in life expectancy, allowing young women to consider childbearing. In the current study, we conduct a retrospective study in two French centers for kidney and lung transplantations to evaluate the rate and outcomes of pregnancies, contraception and gynecological monitoring for women under 40 years old who underwent solid organ transplantation. Among 210 women, progestin was the most widely used contraceptive method.

Handrim forces during wheelies performance in able-bodied and SCI subjects.

Manual wheelchair users must be able to carry out wheelies in order to tackle obstacles in the outdoor environment. To date, no studies have compared balance variables and forces exerted on the handrim during a stationary wheelie between able bodied and spinal cord injury subjects. To compare the distribution of forces applied to the handrim and the center of pressure displacement during a stationary wheelie between able-bodied (AB) subjects and manual wheelchair users with spinal cord injury (SCI).

Manual wheelchair satisfaction among long-term users and caregivers: a French study.

Wheelchair mobility is a prerequisite to being able to carry out important activities and to participate in social life. Level of satisfaction with the wheelchair and overall quality of life were found to be positively associated. The aim of this study was to determine the level of satisfaction of French manual wheelchair (MW) users and caregivers with MW characteristics.

Effect of multisite botulinum toxin injections on gait quality in adults with cerebral palsy.

Purpose: In the management of adults with cerebral palsy (CP), one of the goals is to monitor and prevent spasticity-related deteriorations in gait. Botulinum Toxin Injections (BTI) are commonly used to treat this spasticity in these patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate (i) the effect of multi-site BTI on gait patterns in adults with CP and (ii) to determine if these modifications could be detected by the Gait Deviation Index (GDI).

Categorization of gait patterns in adults with cerebral palsy: a clustering approach.

Gait patterns in adults with cerebral palsy have, to our knowledge, never been assessed. This contrasts with the large number of studies which have attempted to categorize gait patterns in children with cerebral palsy. Several methodological approaches have been developed to objectively classify gait patterns in patients with central nervous system lesions.
