Cervical ripening in prolonged pregnancies by silicone double balloon catheter versus vaginal dinoprostone slow release system: The MAGPOP randomised controlled trial.

Background: Prolonged pregnancies are a frequent indication for induction of labour. 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).

Postpartum hemorrhage: Could oxytocin be the cause? Results from a morbidity and mortality review to enhance quality, safety, and relevance of care.

Introduction: A sudden postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) increase has been subjectively observed during summer 2018 in our level-3 maternity, despite following all official recommendations for PPH care. 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.

Use of the EFI score in endometriosis-associated infertility: A cost-effectiveness study.

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.

Correction to: Ileocolic intussusception due to a cecal endometriosis: Case report and review of literature.

Neonatal morbidity associated with vaginal delivery of noncephalic second twins.

Background: 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.

A Case of Umbilical Artery Thrombosis in the Third Trimester of Pregnancy.

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.

Congenital Cystic Adenomatoid Malformation Diagnosed During First-Trimester Ultrasound Scan.

BACKGROUND Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) is mostly reported from the second trimester of 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.

Should we consider day-2 and day-3 embryo morphology before day-5 transfer when blastocysts reach a similar good quality?

Clinical outcomes of 291 day-5 blastocyst transfers carried out between January 2012 and March 2016 were retrospectively compared according to their quality at day 2 and 3. Inclusion criteria were female age younger than 37 years; first or second IVF and intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycle; quality of the transferred blastocyst: blastocoele B3 or higher; inner-cell-mass A/B; trophectoderm A/B; and known implantation outcome for each transferred blastocyst. Blastocysts were classified into good-quality and poor-quality embryo groups at day 2 and 3.

Endometriosis and uterine malformations: infertility may increase severity of endometriosis.

Introduction: The aim of our study was to compare the stage and severity of endometriosis in fertile and infertile women with congenital uterine malformations.

Material And Methods: We performed an observational study from September 2007 to December 2015 in a tertiary care university hospital and assisted reproductive technology center. A total of 52 patients with surgically proven uterine malformations were included.
