Importance: Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a well-known risk factor for preterm birth. Molecular diagnosis of BV is now available. Its impact in the screening and treatment of BV during pregnancy on preterm births has not been evaluated to date.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Persistent occiput posterior and occiput transverse positions are the most common malpositions of the fetal head during labor and are associated with prolonged second stage of labor, cesarean deliveries, instrumental deliveries, severe perineal tears, postpartum hemorrhage, and chorioamnionitis. Manual rotation is one of several strategies described to deal with these malpositions.
Objective: This study aimed to determine if the trial of prophylactic manual rotation at the early second stage of labor is associated with a decrease in operative deliveries (instrumental and/or cesarean deliveries).
Objective: To develop a modified version of Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skill (OSATS) rating scale for evaluation of surgical skills specific to caesarean and to assess its relevance in documenting the residents' learning curve during their training. Secondarily, to verify the scale's stability to caesarean's level of difficulty and comparing self-assessment to hetero-assessment in order to propose a practical application of this rating scale during residency.
Study Design: We conducted a multicentre observational prospective study, from May 2018 to November 2018.

Objective: To validate Grobman nomogram for predicting vaginal birth after cesarean delivery (VBAC) in a French population and adapt it.
Study Design: Multicenter retrospective study of maternal and obstetric factors associated with VBAC between May 2012 and May 2013 in 6 maternity units. External validation and adaptation of the prenatal and intrapartum Grobman nomograms for vaginal birth prediction after cesarean delivery in a French cohort.

Objective: To assess the consequences of loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) on the quality of sexual life.
Material And Methods: A prospective observational study in two university hospital departments in Marseille, France, including women requiring a LEEP. Sexual quality of life was assessed before LEEP and three months after the procedure with a self-administered validated questionnaire: the Brief Index of Sexual Functioning for Women (BISF-W).
