[Fertility counseling: a new care to be developed in France].

Objective: The abandonment of the criterion of pathological infertility in ART and the societal preservation of fertility (FP) are the founders of a new practice which puts the parental project at the center of the support. It is in this context that the University Hospital of Nancy fertility Center has created fertility counselling (FC) care, allowing anyone single or in a couple who wishes to learn about their fertility access to fertility specialists in order to be informed by professionals of the medical, biological and regulatory possibilities of access to parenthood.

Methods: We conducted a single-center retrospective observational study from January 1, 2020, to April 30, 2023, in the Nancy Fertility Center.

Earthworm-Driven Changes in Soil Chemico-Physical Properties, Soil Bacterial Microbiota, Tree/Tea Litter Decomposition, and Plant Growth in a Mesocosm Experiment with Two Plant Species.

Earthworms and soil microorganisms contribute to soil health, quality, and fertility, but their importance in agricultural soils is often underestimated. This study aims at examining whether and to what extent the presence of earthworms ( sp.) affected the (a) soil bacterial community composition, (b) litter decomposition, and (c) plant growth ( L.

Combined Effect of Laboratory-Simulated Fire and Chromium Pollution on Microbial Communities in an Agricultural Soil.

Fire events in agricultural soils can modify not only soil properties but also the structure of soil microbial communities, especially in soils containing high concentrations of potentially toxic elements (PTEs). The recolonization of burned soils can in fact favor the proliferation of certain microorganisms, more adaptable to post-fire soil conditions and higher PTE availability, over others. In this study, we simulated with laboratory experiments the microbial recolonization of an agricultural soil containing high Cr concentrations after heating at 500 °C for 30 min, to mimic the burning of crop residues.

A Rare Case of Mesenteric Chylous Cyst in Infant: Case Report and Review of Literature.

The occurrence of a mesenteric cyst (MC) is common in adults while in children and in infants is rare. In adults mesenteric cysts are often asymptomatic and discovered incidentally; however, in children they commonly present with symptoms of abdominal pain or distension with fever and leucocytosis. We report on a rare case, in our experience, of Mesenteric Chylous cyst (MCC) in an infant with signs and symptoms of intestinal obstruction.
