Background: Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) at interval cytoreductive surgery for ovarian cancer improves overall survival but its role in recurrent disease is uncertain. We aimed to compare outcomes in patients treated with or without HIPEC during surgery for recurrent ovarian cancer.
Methods: The multicentre, open-label, randomised, phase 3 CHIPOR trial was conducted at 31 sites in France, Belgium, Spain, and Canada, and enrolled patients with first relapse of epithelial ovarian cancer at least 6 months after completing platinum-based chemotherapy.
Polypoid endometriosis is a rare manifestation of endometriosis, which may mimic pelvic cancer. This subtype commonly encountered in post-menopausal women may be wrongly mistaken for a neoplasm on clinical, radiological, perioperative or pathologic assessments leading to inadequate treatment.

- The pine processionary moth's larvae are harmful to humans and can easily be spotted in silk tents they create during winter.
- A dataset was created from three different regions in France, documenting various conifer trees as potential hosts, detailing characteristics such as species, size, and tent counts.
- This data will help understand the relationship between the moth and its host trees, guiding urban planting decisions to protect vulnerable populations from infestations.
Temperature strongly drives physiological and ecological processes in ectotherms. While many species rely on behavioural thermoregulation to avoid thermal extremes, others build structures (nests) that confer a shelter against climate variability and extremes. However, the microclimate inside nests remains unknown for most insects.

- Contact with caterpillar larvae from pine and oak processionary moths can cause allergic reactions in humans, and their presence is increasing in populated areas of France due to climate change.
- A retrospective study analyzed 1,274 cases of exposure reported to French poison control centers from 2012 to 2019, with most cases linked to pine (59%) and oak (27%) larvae, peaking in spring.
- The majority of cases displayed mild skin symptoms, but ocular or oral exposure led to more severe reactions, highlighting the need for public awareness and safety measures regarding these larvae.
