Objective: The aim of the TELESUR-GDM study was to demonstrate the non-inferiority of the onset of maternal, fœtal, and neonatal complications for patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) monitored by myDiabby HealthcareⓇ (app group) compared to patients with a classical glycaemic blood monitoring by diary (control group).
Materials And Methods: TELESUR-GDM was a retrospective, monocentric, and non-inferiority study including 349 patients in the app group and 295 patients in the control group. The primary outcome was a composite score based on maternal, foetal, and neonatal complications.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the association between quality and features related to internet users of the most viewed YouTube videos about COVID-19 and chloroquine, during the first wave of the pandemic. We conducted a cross-sectional observational study focusing on the most viewed YouTube videos on COVID-19 and chloroquine treatment, in French and English. The primary outcome was the association between video quality as assessed by DISCERN and modified JAMA scores, and video features related to internet users as assessed by number of viewership and likes.

Methods: A steering committee composed of 14 healthcare professionals and a patient representative with lived experience of endometriosis identified 42 potential practices related to FP for BGD. Then 114 key stakeholders including various healthcare professionals (n=108) and patient representatives (n=6) were asked to participate in a modified Delphi process via two online survey rounds from February to September 2020 and a final meeting.
Surgical treatment or varicocele embolization (VE) with sclerosing or mechanical embolic agents have been shown to improve the semen parameters of infertile men. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of VE using N-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA) glue on semen parameters in infertile men. From January 2014 to June 2018, infertile adult patients with stage 3 varicocele and an initial semen analysis showing at least one abnormal semen parameter, and who were successfully embolized with NBCA Glubran2 glue, were retrospectively recruited.

When the cervix is unfavourable, cervical ripening before oxytocin administration is recommended to increase the likelihood of vaginal delivery, but no particular method is currently recommended for cervical ripening of prolonged pregnancies. This trial evaluates whether the use of mechanical cervical ripening with a silicone double balloon catheter for induction of labour in prolonged pregnancies reduces the cesarean section rate for nonreassuring fetal status compared with pharmacological cervical ripening by a vaginal pessary for the slow release of dinoprostone (prostaglandin E2).

This observation led us to conduct a morbi-mortality review to understand morbidity increase reasons.
Methods: We conducted a first retrospective comparative cohort study from 2017 to 2018 to compare PPH rates.

Background: The management of endometriosis-related infertility is still under debate. The Endometriosis Fertility Index (EFI) score is performant to predict the occurrence of a spontaneous pregnancy following surgery, but was not evaluated in a cost-effectiveness perspective. Our objective was to quantify fertility outcomes, and costs of different care pathways for endometriosis-associated infertility after primary surgery, with a stratification on the EFI score.

Objective: Endometriosis affects 10% of women in reproductive age and alters fertility. Its management is still debated notably the timing of surgery and ART in infertility. Several tools have been created to guide the practitioner and the couple yet many limitations persist.

First-line diagnostic investigations for endometriosis are physical examination and pelvic ultrasound. The second-line investigations are: targeted pelvic examination performed by an expert clinician, transvaginal ultrasound performed by an expert physician sonographer (radiologist or gynaecologist), and pelvic MRI. Management of endometriosis is recommended when the disease has a functional impact.

First-line investigations to diagnose endometriosis are clinical examination and pelvic ultrasound. Second-line investigations include pelvic examination performed by a referent clinician, transvaginal ultrasound performed by a referent echographist, and pelvic MRI. It is recommended to treat endometriosis when it is symptomatic.

Deeply infiltrating endometriosis is a severe form of the disease, defined by endometriotic tissue peritoneal infiltration. The disease may involve the rectovaginal septum, uterosacral ligaments, digestive tract or bladder. Deeply infiltrating endometriosis is responsible for disabling pain and infertility.

Fertility preservation (FP) techniques are progressing rapidly these past few years thanks to the oocyte vitrification. Indication of FP techniques is now extended to non-oncological situation that may induce risk of premature ovarian failure. Ovarian endometriosis can lead to premature ovarian failure and further infertility due to the high risk of ovarian cysts recurrence and surgery.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFThe management of endometriosis related infertility requires a global approach. In this context, the prescription of an anti-gonadotropic hormonal treatment does not increase the rate of non-ART (assisted reproductive technologies) pregnancies and it is not recommended. In case of endometriosis related infertility, the results of IVF management in terms of pregnancy and birth rates are not negatively affected by the existence of endometriosis.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Management of noncephalic second twin delivery rests on the results of population-based retrospective studies of twin births that have shown higher neonatal mortality and morbidity for second twins with noncephalic, compared with cephalic, presentations after vaginal delivery of the first twin. Because these studies are flawed by data of questionable validity, do not report the obstetrical practices at delivery, and do not allow collection of potential confounding variables, we performed a national prospective study specially designed to evaluate the management of twins' delivery.
Objective: We sought to assess neonatal mortality and morbidity according to second twin presentation after vaginal birth of the first twin.
BACKGROUND Umbilical artery thrombosis is an extremely rare complication during pregnancy. Umbilical artery thrombosis has a poor prognosis and is associated with increased rates of perinatal morbidity, including intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), and fetal mortality. CASE REPORT We report a rare case of umbilical artery thrombosis, diagnosed by ultrasound, at 33 weeks gestation in a 30-year-old woman who had previously had an uneventful pregnancy.

We report a case of a microcystic type of CCAM that was suggested by routine ultrasound examination at a gestational age of 12 weeks. CASE REPORT First-trimester ultrasound screening revealed the presence of a hyperechoic image that occupied the whole of the right lung, without no other any associated complications.
