Objectives: To present an overview of French practices for the management of endometriomas.

Methods: We carried out a nationwide survey of practices concerning the management of endometriomas between October 2021 and January 2022. This study was carried out by means of two questionnaires sent to surgical centers used to treat endometriosis (n=62) and to Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) centers (n=102).

Mild endometriosis of the uterosacral ligaments: a retrospective study of magnetic resonance imaging performance for diagnosis.

Research Question: What are the diagnostic performances of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans when used to identify mild endometriosis of the uterosacral ligaments (USL)?

Design: Monocentric retrospective study of patients who underwent a pelvic MRI followed by laparoscopy for determination of endometriosis between January 2016 and December 2020. Patients were included whether endometriosis of USL was suspected or not, but patients presenting large lesions that left no doubt as to their endometriotic nature on the MRI were excluded. Six criteria for the description of USL on MRI were studied to determine their diagnostic performances in predicting the presence of endometriosis on laparoscopy as follows: asymmetry, thickening, irregularity, straightness, the presence of a nodule or a hypersignal T1 spot.

Does a physiology-based interpretation of cardiotocography allow to dispense with second-line methods? A cross-sectional online survey.

Context: Second line methods are used to help obstetricians to identify abnormalities that reflect foetal acidosis. Since the use of a new technique of cardiotocography (CTG) interpretation based on the pathophysiology of the foetal period, the use of second-line tests has been questioned.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of specific training in CTG physiology-based interpretation on professional attitudes towards the use of second-line methods.

Endometriosis, infertility and occupational life: women's plea for recognition.

The objective of this study was to explore and describe the specificities of the occupational life of infertile endometriotic women treated by in vitro fertilization.

Twelve semi-structured in-depth interviews using a theme-based interview guide with open questions were undertaken with infertile women with deep infiltrating endometriosis.

Endometriosis and pregnancy: The illusion of recovery.

The objective of this study was to investigate the feelings and experiences of infertile women with deep infiltrating endometriosis during and after a first pregnancy achieved by in-vitro fertilization (IVF). We conducted a qualitative monocentric study between May and November 2020. Semi-structured interviews were undertaken with infertile women with deep infiltrating endometriosis who achieved a first pregnancy by IVF and delivered at least two years prior to the interview.

Adding an App-Based Intervention to the Cognitive Behavioral Analysis System of Psychotherapy in Routine Outpatient Psychotherapy Treatment: Proof-of-Concept Study.

Background: The Cognitive Behavioral Analysis System of Psychotherapy (CBASP) is an empirically supported psychotherapeutic treatment developed specifically for persistent depressive disorder. However, given the high rates of nonresponse and relapse, there is a need for optimization. Studies suggest that outcomes can be improved by increasing the treatment dose via, for example, the continuous web-based application of therapy strategies between sessions.
