Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of previous Caesarean deliveries versus vaginal deliveries on live birth rates after transferring frozen blastocysts.
- Conducted at two university hospitals, the research included 390 women and analyzed outcomes like live births and complications.
- Results showed no significant differences between the groups in live birth rates, although Caesarean deliveries were associated with more difficult embryo transfers. Further research is needed to validate these findings.
Introduction: Obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASIs) at the time of childbirth can lead to serious consequences including anal incontinence, dyspareunia, pain and rectovaginal fistula. These types of lesions and their incidence have been well studied after cephalic presentation deliveries, but no publications have specifically addressed this issue in the context of vaginal breech delivery. The goal of our study was to evaluate the incidence of OASIs following breech deliveries and compare it with cephalic presentation births.

- Birth weight (BW) is generally higher for babies conceived through frozen embryo transfer (FET) compared to fresh embryo transfer, and the study aims to investigate whether the freezing-thawing process contributes to this difference.
- The study analyzed two groups: one with older siblings conceived via fresh embryos and younger siblings via frozen embryos, and another with siblings both conceived through FET from the same embryo cohort.
- Results showed that the average BW for FET babies was significantly higher than for fresh, suggesting that cryopreservation plays a critical role in BW variation, independent of sibling parity.
Introduction And Hypothesis: Our purpose was to compare the prevalence of urinary incontinence (UI) 3 and 12 months after vaginal vs cesarean delivery of twins after 34 weeks of gestation.
Methods: This was a multicenter prospective cohort study conducted at 172 French maternity units and included 2812 primiparous women with twins with no prior history of UI. Participants were enrolled at the time of delivery and followed up to 12 months postpartum.
Introduction And Hypothesis: To compare the impact of vaginal delivery (VD) versus cesarean section (CS) on the pelvic floor in twin primiparae at 3 and 12 months postpartum.
Methods: This comparative multicenter prospective cohort from a large French national cohort study consisted of primiparas who gave birth to live twins after 34 weeks of gestation. The primary end point was the postnatal urinary incontinence rate 3 months postpartum.
Article Synopsis
- Several studies indicate a decline in sperm quality over the decades, prompting a study to evaluate how male factors such as sperm quality and paternal age affect IVF and ICSI outcomes.
- The study included data from IVF and ICSI treatments at Montpellier University Hospital from 2010 to 2015, analyzing primary outcomes like blastulation and pregnancy rates, alongside secondary outcomes like fertilization and early miscarriage rates.
- Results showed that severe oligospermia negatively impacted fertilization and blastulation rates, particularly in ICSI, and that paternal age over 51, coupled with maternal age over 37, also reduced pregnancy success rates, suggesting revised fertilization strategies for older couples or those with low sperm quality.
Success factors for Bakri™ balloon usage secondary to uterine atony: a retrospective, multicentre study.
Aust N Z J Obstet Gynaecol
December 2015
Background: Post-partum haemorrhage (PPH) is one of the major obstetric complications and remains a cause of avoidable maternal mortality and morbidity.
Aims: The aims of this study were to assess the success and practicability of a Bakri™ balloon intrauterine tamponade for PPH and evaluate the predictive factors for success.
Materials And Methods: Women who received the Bakri™ balloon secondary to uterine atony and subsequent failure of routine drug treatment were identified at 6 hospital sites.
