Materials And Method: The FRANCOGYN group's multicenter retrospective ovarian cancer cohort furnished the patient population on which we developed a logistic regression model. The prediction model equation enabled us to create LNM risk groups with simple lymphadenectomy decision rules associated with a user-friendly free interactive web application called shinyLNM.

Uterine metastasis from invasive ductal breast carcinoma: A case report with literature review.

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women, and most breast cancer related deaths are due to metastases. Uterine metastases from breast cancer are uncommon and rarely reported in the literature. We described the case of a 50 years-old-woman who developed a uterine metastasis, 6 years after the diagnosis of an invasive ductal breast carcinoma.

Intraoperative Clinical Examination for Assessing Pelvic and Para-Aortic Lymph Node Involvement in Advanced Epithelial Ovarian Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

After the publication of the Lymphadenectomy in Ovarian Neoplasms (LION) trial results, lymphadenectomy in advanced epithelial ovarian cancer with primary complete cytoreductive surgery is considered indicated only for women with suspicious lymph nodes. The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of intraoperative clinical examination for detecting lymph node metastases in patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer during primary complete cytoreductive surgery. MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library were searched for January 1990 to May 2019 for studies evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of intraoperative clinical examination for detecting lymph node metastases in patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer during primary complete cytoreductive surgery, with histology as the gold standard.

A Pre-operative Score to Discriminate Fibroepithelial Lesions of the Breast: Phyllode Tumor or Fibroadenoma?

Background/aim: Fibroepithelial lesions (FEL) of the breast include fibroadenomas and phyllodes tumors (PT). Their histologic characteristics on core needle biopsy can overlap, while their clinical management is different. The aim of this study was to develop and to validate a pre-operative score for the diagnosis of PT with surgical decision rules.

Cesarean scar pregnancy with deep serosal invasion at 16 weeks: Uterus-sparing surgery with posterior hysterotomy after transcatheter arterial embolization.

We report a case of cesarean scar pregnancy at 16 weeks. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the isthmic ectopic location with an empty fundus and a high suspicion of placental invasion to the anterior myometrium. Because of pelvic pain, bleeding and the major risks of hysterectomy, a decision was made to terminate the pregnancy.

Hippocampal Radial Glial Subtypes and Their Neurogenic Potential in Human Fetuses and Healthy and Alzheimer's Disease Adults.

Neuropathological conditions might affect adult granulogenesis in the adult human dentate gyrus. However, radial glial cells (RGCs) have not been well characterized during human development and aging. We have previously described progenitor and neuronal layer establishment in the hippocampal pyramidal layer and dentate gyrus from embryonic life until mid-gestation.

Prospective interventional study of tenofovir in pregnancy to prevent vertical transmission of hepatitis B in highly viremic women.

Background: The risk of vertical transmission of hepatitis B virus (HBV) increases as maternal HBV DNA increase, despite serovaccination to newborns.

Methods: From 1 July 2012 to 1 January 2016, all pregnant women in Lariboisiere Hospital, Paris, France, with HBV DNA of 5 log10 IU/ml and above were administered tenofovir from week 28 of pregnancy until delivery. HBV DNA was measured at months 1, 2 of tenofovir and at delivery.

In-vitro fertilization and spontaneous pregnancies: matching outcomes in Douala, Cameroon.

Background: Couples are considered infertile if they do not conceive over a 12-month period of unprotected intercourse. Studies have shown that female causes accounted for between 25 to 37 percent of infertility worldwide (with larger proportions in sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia) and male causes accounted for between 8 to 22 percent. Both male and female causes accounted for between 21 to 38 percent.

Short article: Hepatitis B virus status in children born to HIV/HBV coinfected women in a French hospital: a cross-sectional study.
