French national survey on breast cancer care: caregiver and patient views.

Purpose: To improve the quality of care for patients with breast cancer, an analysis of the health-care pathway, considering feedback from both health-care practitioners (HCPs) and patients, is needed.

Methods: Between 2020 and 2022, we conducted a survey at French breast cancer centers and analyzed information from questionnaires completed by HCPs and patients. We collected information on center organization, diagnostic processes, treatment decisions and modalities, supportive care, patient advocacy groups, and work issues.

Level of participation in public health volunteering and its determinants among ministry of health primary health care workers in Jeddah 2019.

Context: Volunteering is an important practice for health care systems globally and contributes to the development of health care services as well.

Aims: To estimate the level of participation in public health volunteering and its determinants among healthcare workers in ministry of health primary care sector, Jeddah.

Settings And Design: A randomized quantitative cross-sectional self-administered survey involving all primary healthcare workers in 15 centers.

Introduction to anatomy and physiology of human conception.

Anatomical and physiological concepts of human reproduction currently in use have been developed over generations, following clinical and basic research guidelines that preceded modern technology. The application of new forms of research over recent decades, as in the case of molecular biology, has contributed to a more in-depth and accurate understanding of the interaction of each of the inter- and intracellular structures in the mechanics of human physiology. On the other hand the use of non-human primate models has provided invaluable information in the reproductive field.

[Cystic lymphangiomas of the mesentery and the epiploon. About two cases].

Two cases of cystic lymphangiomas of the mesentery and the epiploon are hereby related. The authors underline the following points: first, the rarity of these tumors along with the absence of significant clinical features makes the differential diagnosis with ovary tumors a difficult task. Second, although abdominal ultra sonography, completed by CT scan, allows the hypothesis of lymphangioma, only histological examination will confirm the diagnosis.

[A prospective randomized trial of the impact of misoprostol (PgE1) on pregnancy rate after intrauterine insemination (IUI) therapy: a preliminary report].

Although the use of prostaglandin plays an important role in the reproductive human physiology, it is still controversial in the reproductive field. Ovarian stimulation as well as intrauterine insemination increased the reproductive goals in certain group of patients. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the prostaglandin effect (misoprostol) in patients under ovarian stimulation and intrauterine insemination and their final outcome in the clinical pregnancy rate.

[Assessment of the penetration of culture media in uterine cavity as an effect of cervical lavage before embryo transfer: prospective and observational study of samples obtained in hysterectomy].

Cervical lavage used to remove and cleaning some of the scale elements as well as cervical mucous during embryo transfer has been a regular practice in many reproductive centers worldwide. However, the microenvironment influence using these techniques will or not be detrimental in the embryo development. Under this issue, a prospective study was doing in 16 patients (underwent hysterectomy).

[Influence of intrafollicular factors at ovarian level during oocyte/embryo development].

There is series of factors associated to fertilization and embryo development events. Each factor has a role in the inter-relationship between various molecular events related to oocyte/embryo quality. Dynamic features associated to endocrine-paracrine environment are determinant to the role of each factor in ovaric follicullar development.

[Assessment of nociceptive suppression in laparoscopic postoperative status: prospective, randomized and comparative study with a control group].

In recent years endoscopic surgery has became a highly demanded procedure because it is an easy method for diagnosis and treatment in gynecological field. Post-operative pain is considered as a condition in the morbidity status. The objective of this study was to evaluate the nociceptive suppression in laparoscopic surgery.

[Comparative analysis of multifollicular development with the application of recombinant FSH vs. urinary FSH in the results of in vitro fertilization].

The interactive function between intrafollicular factors related with ovum competence and embryo development played an important role getting high quality embryos during the embryo transference in in-vitro fertilization programs. Urinary gonadotropins are used widely to get homogeneous follicles during ovarian stimulation. Recombinant technology has been applied in these compounds to correlate with a best egg formation and higher pregnancy rates.

[Embryo transfer: a critical step in assisted reproduction].

The advances and development of new procedures and techniques related to embryo development, and its final outcome, the embryo transfer; have increased significantly the pregnancy rate through this reproductive assisted technique. The embryo transfer is probably the last part in in-vitro fertilization programs and the success should be determined through the technical approach and procedure's characteristics. The use and standardization of the current techniques during the embryo transfer process allow increasing the success in pregnancy and implantation rates in a short period of time in the current Assisted Reproduction Programs.

[Ovarian hyperstimulation with menotropins as treatment for unexplained sterility; effect of reproductive characteristics on the results].

The objective was to evaluate the utility of the ovarian hyperstimulation with menotropins as treatment of unexplained infertility. One hundred couples with unexplained infertility were treated. Ovarian stimulation was started with 150 IU of menotropins on day 3 of the menstrual cycle, monitoring the follicular growth with transvaginal ultrasonography, additional doses of menotropins were administered accordingly.

[Multifactorial analysis of patients with endometriosis in an institutional program of assisted reproduction].

It is a retrospective and transverse study with an analysis of results from patients submitted to intrauterine insemination (IIU), intratubal gamete transfer (GIFT) and in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (FIVTE), at the Clinic of Assisted Reproduction, Instituto Nacional de Perinatología in Mexico City. From 134 cycles of patients submitted to IIU, 113 corresponded to women with diagnosis of sterility from non determined cause, and 21 to cases with endometriosis, and at least one permeable tube. From the first group, 22 pregnancies were obtained, for a monthly fertility rate of 19.
