[Establishment and one-year evaluation of an internal medicine consultation in a maternity].

Objective: In the obstetric medicine movement and in response to requests for appointments in internal medicine by obstetricians and midwives, we created an internal medicine consultation within the maternity ward of our General Hospital, and provide feedback after 1 year.

Methods: This retrospective descriptive study took place at the Robert Ballanger Intercommunal Hospital Center in Aulnay-sous-Bois in Seine-Saint-Denis (France) between 3rd March 2016 and 9th March 2017, the first year of the internal medicine consultation, one afternoon every 15 days, in the maternity level 2b.

Results: Out of 121 appointments, 93 consultations were conducted for 63 patients.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment of sports-related severe acute hamstring injuries.

Purpose: hamstring injury is the most common musculoskeletal disorder and one of the main causes of missed sporting events. Shortening the time to return to play (TTRTP) is a priority for athletes and sports medicine practitioners.

Hypothesis: platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection at the site of severe acute hamstring injury increases the healing rate and shortens the TTRTP.

Improving postpartum glucose screening after gestational diabetes mellitus: a cohort study to evaluate the multicentre IMPACT initiative.

Aims: To evaluate a mobilization campaign, the IMPACT initiative, which included multidisciplinary meetings, provision of information and a systematic prescription of an oral glucose tolerance test to improve the rate of glucose screening in women with gestational diabetes mellitus in the four largest maternity units in our area, starting in March 2011.

Methods: We retrospectively compared the level of self-reported screening during the first 6 months postpartum of women who gave birth after having been diagnosed with gestational diabetes before (January 2009 to December 2010) and after the IMPACT campaign (April 2011 to February 2012).

Results: We included 961 women (589 in the period before and 372 in the period after the campaign was initiated) with a mean ± SD age of 33.

Factors associated with screening for glucose abnormalities after gestational diabetes mellitus: baseline cohort of the interventional IMPACT study.

Introduction: Although it is important to screen women who have had gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) for abnormal post-partum glucose levels, such testing is rarely performed. The aim of this study was to use data from the first observational phase of the IMPACT study to determine rates of screening within 6 months of delivery in a multiethnic cohort, focusing in particular on the effects of social deprivation and the risk of future diabetes.

Patients And Methods: To investigate the frequency of post-partum screening, charts were analyzed, and all women attending four centres located in a deprived area who had had GDM between January 2009 and December 2010 were contacted by phone.

[Comparison of two ELISA tests to study the seroprevalence of herpes simplex 1 et 2 infection in a maternity near Paris].

Unlabelled: The diagnosis of herpes simplex virus (HSV) genital infection is primarily clinical. The primary indication for serodiagnosis is to detect seronegativity in pregnant women at risk of acquiring the HSV virus during the course of their pregnancy. In this study, two ELISA tests were compared for the detection of HSV infection among a population of 307 pregnant women followed at the maternity of a community-based hospital in France (Robert Ballanger hospital in the Seine-Saint-Denis department).
