Sentinel node involvement with or without completion axillary lymph node dissection: treatment and pathologic results of randomized SERC trial.

Based on results of clinical trials, completion ALND (cALND) is frequently not performed for patients with breast conservation therapy and one or two involved sentinel nodes (SN) by micro- or macro-metastases. However, there were limitations despite a conclusion of non-inferiority for cALND omission. No trial had included patients with SN macro-metastases and total mastectomy or with >2 SN macro-metastases.

[Accuracy of ultrasound estimated fetal weight at term].

Objectives: Our aim was to evaluate the accuracy of estimated fetal weight (EFW) by ultrasound at due date and the factors that could affect it.

Methods: We performed a retrospective study of 233 patients in 2014. An ultrasound was performed at due date consultation around 41 weeks of amenorrhea by midwives sonographer.

Intestinal malrotation complicated by an occlusive syndrome involving internal hernia in a pregnant woman.

We present the case of a 33-year-old female who presented intestinal obstruction at the 7th month of pregnancy. She was complaining of abdominal pain with paroxysms, nausea and vomiting. When the symptoms worsened, we performed a CT-scan, which revealed suspected intestinal obstruction in a context of intestinal malrotation (IM).

Changes in maternal blood inflammatory markers as a predictor of chorioamnionitis: a prospective multicenter study.

Problem: To evaluate the inflammatory pattern in maternal circulation from women with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) considering the occurrence of histologically confirmed chorioamnionitis (HCA).

Method Of Study: A prospective study was conducted in 121 women with PPROM between 24 and 34 + 0 weeks of gestation. Association between white blood cells (WBC) count, plasma CRP, IL-6, MCP-1 and IP-10 levels, and HCA was assessed.

[The sentinal node: the Dijon experience].

Objectives: The goal of this study was to evaluate the technical feasibility of sentinel node biopsy in breast cancer and its capacity to predict axillary node status.

Material And Methods: Between February 2000 and June 2001, 70 patients with invasive breast carcinomas referred to the cancer center of Dijon, underwent lymphatic mapping (patent blue dye and lymphoscintigraphy with a gamma probe) and sentinel node biopsy followed by axillary clearance (Berg's level 1 and 2).

Results: A sentinel node was identified in 94.
