This study investigated the role of causative infectious agents in ulceration of the non-glandular part of the porcine stomach (pars oesophagea). In total, 150 stomachs from slaughter pigs were included, 75 from pigs that received a meal feed, 75 from pigs that received an equivalent pelleted feed with a smaller particle size. The pars oesophagea was macroscopically examined after slaughter.

Objectives: To evaluate the use of simulation among French Obstetrics and Gynecology residency programs.
Methods: A survey was conducted with all 28 French residency program directors. The questionnaire covered equipment and human resources, training programs, types of simulation tools and time spent.
Objective: To evaluate our clinical practices since the implementation of different tools to reduce the use of pH in utero (pHiu) in the delivery room.
Methods: A single-centre retrospective study was conducted in our university maternity hospital of Lille from October 2016 to March 2021. All patients in labour with a vaginal delivery agreement, a fetus in cephalic presentation and no contraindication to perform a pHiu were included.
Article Synopsis
- The APJ receptor and its ligands, apelin and elabela, are important for the development of the fetus and placenta.
- In a study comparing obese and non-obese mothers, researchers found that obesity specifically lowered apelin levels in the cord blood of newborns.
- However, obesity did not impact levels of elabela in either maternal plasma or cord blood, nor did it change the expression of related genes in the placenta.
Ultrasound assessment of fetal head position and station before operative delivery: Can it predict difficulty?
J Gynecol Obstet Hum Reprod
April 2022
Objective: To evaluate whether ultrasound assessment of fetal head position and station though head perineum distance (HPD), is more predictive of a difficult operative vaginal delivery (OVD) than digital examination.
Methods: Retrospective, monocentric case control study including all singleton OVD at ≥34 weeks gestation. The principal criteria for a difficult OVD were based on a composite criterion of: an OVD considered "difficult" by the birth attendant, and/or two vacuum device detachments if a vacuum was used, and/or change of instrument, and/or a cesarean delivery for OVD failure.
