Objective: To give a description of caesarean rates in France in 2010 using Robson classification, to assess practices according to the level of care of the maternity units.
Materials And Methods: The study population was the sample of the French National Perinatal Survey in 2010 (n=14,165). Data were stratified by the level of care of the maternity unit (1, 2 or 3). Women were classified in 12 groups according to Robson classification, using maternal characteristics and obstetrical history. In each level of care, we calculated for each group, its relative size, its crude caesarean rate and its contribution to the overall caesarean rate.
Results: The overall rate of caesarean in 2010 in France was 20.8% in level 1, 21.1% in level 2 and 20.0% in level 3 maternity units. In the three levels, the main contributors to the overall caesarean rate were primiparous women in spontaneous labour (group 1; contribution: 3.5% in level 1 units, 2.2% in level 2 units, 2.7% in level 3 units) or with induced labour (group 2a; contribution: 2.9, 2.5 and 3.0%, respectively) and multiparous women with previous caesarean (group 5; contribution: 5.8, 5.3 and 6.0%, respectively). Premature singletons (group 10) contributed to 0.8% to the overall caesarean rate in level 1 units, 1.4% in level 2 units and 3.5% in level 3 units.
Conclusion: The Robson classification is easy to use. Each maternity unit can compare its rates with those of units with similar level, to find whether some groups of women have very high rates of caesarean sections.

Is Intracranial Pressure Monitoring After Open Cranial Procedures Associated With Outcome?
J Surg Res

Division of Trauma and Critical Care, Department of Surgery, Reading Hospital, West Reading, Pennsylvania. Electronic address:
Introduction: It is unclear if intracranial pressure monitoring (ICPM) after open cranial procedures (craniotomy or craniectomy) (OC) for traumatic brain injury is associated with mortality. We hypothesized that ICPM placed early after OC was associated with lower mortality compared to no ICPM or delayed ICPM placement.
Methods: Using 2020-2021 data from the American College of Surgeons Trauma Quality Improvement Program, patients ≥16 y from level 1 and 2 trauma centers who underwent OC were divided into two groups: ICPM placed within 72 h of OC (early) and no ICPM or ICPM placed after 72 h (none/delayed).
Prevalence of the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and burnout syndrome (BOS) among intensive care unit (ICU) healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Pandemic COronaVIrus Disease-19 (COVID-19) was a traumatic event that had a significant impact on the mental health of healthcare workers (HCWs), especially intensive care units (ICUs). Months of exposure and the threat of death can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and high physical and emotional strain can lead to burnout syndrome (BOS). The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of PTSD and BOS among ICU HCWs during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Intermediate care (IC) is prevalent nationwide, but little is known about how to best organize this level of care. Using a 99-item cross-sectional survey assessing four domains (hospital and physical IC features, provider and nurse staffing, monitoring, and interventions/services), we describe the organizational heterogeneity of IC within a five-hospital healthcare system. Surveys were completed by nurse managers from 12 (86%) of 14 IC settings.

Objective: To determine the diagnostic performance and clinical utility of the M4 prediction model and the NICE algorithm managing women with pregnancy of unknown location (PUL).
Design: The study has a superiority design regarding specificity for non-ectopic pregnancy for M4, given that the primary outcome of sensitivity for ectopic pregnancy (EP) is non-inferior in comparison with the NICE algorithm.
Setting: Emergency gynaecology units in Sweden.
Nuclear Condensates of WW Domain-Containing Adaptor With Coiled-Coil Regulate Mitophagy via Alternative Splicing.

Biomolecular condensates segregate nuclei into discrete regions, facilitating the execution of distinct biological functions. Here, it is identified that the WW domain containing adaptor with coiled-coil (WAC) is localized to nuclear speckles via its WW domain and plays a pivotal role in regulating alternative splicing through the formation of biomolecular condensates via its C-terminal coiled-coil (CC) domain. WAC acts as a scaffold protein and facilitates the integration of RNA-binding motif 12 (RBM12) into nuclear speckles, where RBM12 potentially interacts with the spliceosomal U5 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP).
