Impact of a positive Chlamydia trachomatis serology on cumulative IVF live birth rate.

Research Question: Does positive Chlamydia trachomatis serology have an impact on the cumulative live birth rate from IVF?

Design: A retrospective matched cohort study compared women with positive Chlamydia trachomatis serology (group A) who underwent IVF treatment between January 2016 and December 2021 with a control group of women with negative Chlamydia trachomatis serology (group B). The main outcome measures were the cumulative live birth rate per IVF cycle and the live birth rate per embryo transfer. Secondary outcomes were the cumulative rates of clinical pregnancy, ectopic pregnancy and pregnancy loss calculated per IVF cycle and per embryo transfer.

Graft survival and postoperative complications following orthotopic renal transplantation.

The iliac fossa is the most commonly used site to place the graft in renal transplantation in adults. However, iliac fossa may not be used in various conditions. Thus, orthotopic renal transplantation becomes a viable alternative for these selected patients.

Cross-cultural adaptation of the CRS-PRO questionnaire into French.

Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), encompasses many different clinical patterns with variable response to treatment. Precise criteria specifying disease severity and control are lacking in the current literature.

Lifetime sexual violence experienced by women asylum seekers and refugees hosted in high-income countries: Literature review and meta-analysis.

Screening and care for victims of sexual violence (SV) among asylum seekers and refugees (ASRs) living in High-income host countries were prioritized by the WHO in 2020. The lack of stabilized prevalence findings on lifetime SV among ASRs in High-income countries hinders the development of adequate health management. The objective of this study was to determine the lifetime prevalence of SV experienced by ASRs living in High-income countries.

Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) has been shown to achieve excellent oncological outcomes with a low rate of complications in patients with prostate cancer. However, data on RARP in renal transplant recipients (RT) are dispersed. A literature search was conducted through April 2023 using PubMed/Medline, Embase and Web of Science databases.

Cut-off time for surgery and prediction of orchiectomy in spermatic cord torsion: a retrospective multicentric study over 15 years.

Purpose: Cut-off time to avoid orchiectomy relies on small series of patients. The objective was to determine the cut-off time to avoid orchiectomy in torsion of the spermatic cord in a large cohort.

Methods: We performed a retrospective multicenter study (TORSAFUF cohort) of patients with suspected spermatic cord torsion between 2005 and 2019.

Biomarkers in Laryngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma: The Literature Review.

Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is the second most common cancer among head and neck cancers. Despite a lower incidence of laryngeal carcinoma, new diagnostic techniques, and more targeted therapies, the overall survival has not changed significantly in the last decades, leading to a negative prognosis in advanced stages. Recently, several studies have focused on the identification of biomarkers that may play a critical role in the pathogenesis of LSCC.

Laser Hair Removal for Intraoral Flaps: A Review.

Laser hair removal is a noninvasive technique that has been used for patients with oropharyngolaryngeal hair growth related to surgical flap reconstruction after head and neck cancer resection. The purpose of this work was to perform a rapid review of the literature to determine the therapeutic relevance of laser hair removal and identify laser parameters. A total of 10 publications addressing depilation of the head and neck sphere were selected and analyzed.

Management of 80 sinonasal undifferentiated carcinomas. Retrospective multicentre study of the French Network of Rare Head and Neck Cancers (REFCOR).

Objectives: Sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma (SNUC) is a rare and aggressive disease requiring multimodal treatment, and multiple new entities once included in the spectrum of SNUC, such as SWI/SNF-deficient carcinomas, are emerging. We aimed to provide new data regarding the role of chemotherapy and surgery and the prognostic factors of disease-free survival.

Methods: This study was based on data from the REFCOR database and included patients with SNUC treated with curative intent from 2007 to 2021 across 22 centres in France.

Molecular Basis and Natural History of Medullary Thyroid Cancer: It is (Almost) All in the .

Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) is a rare disease, which can be either sporadic (roughly 75% of cases) or genetically determined (multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2, due to REarranged during Transfection germline mutations, 25% of cases). Interestingly, pathogenic variants (mainly M918T) have also been reported in aggressive forms of sporadic MTC, suggesting the importance of signalling pathways in the pathogenesis of MTC. The initial theory of codon-related MTC aggressiveness has been recently questioned by studies suggesting that this would only define the age at disease onset rather than the aggressiveness of MTC.

Feasibility and efficiency of delayed ovarian stimulation and metaphase II oocyte banking for fertility preservation and childbearing desire after fertility-impairing treatment.

The aim of our study was to evaluate the feasibility and efficiency of delayed ovarian stimulation and metaphase II oocyte banking for fertility preservation after fertility-impairing treatment regardless of the initial disease. We conducted a cohort study based on population of women < 40 years of age with diminished ovarian reserve caused by fertility-impairing treatment (n = 129). Three groups of women were compared according to the type of initial disease: hematological malignancies, solid tumors, and benign diseases.

Cytidine deaminase status as a marker of response to azacytidine treatment in MDS and AML patients.

Azacitidine (Aza) is a mainstay of treatment for patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) ineligible for induction chemotherapy and other high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Only half of patients respond, and almost all will eventually relapse. There are no predictive markers of response to Aza.

Benefits and Harms of Benign Prostatic Obstruction Treatments in Renal Transplanted Patients.

Context: In an increasingly ageing transplant population, timely management of benign prostatic obstruction (BPO) is key to preventing complications that result in graft dysfunction or compromise survival.

Objective: To evaluate benefits/harms of BPO treatments in transplant patients by reviewing current literature.

Evidence Acquisition: A computerised bibliographic search of Medline, Embase, and Cochrane databases was performed for studies reporting outcomes on BPO treatments in transplanted patients.

Effectiveness and rapidity on olfatory fuction recovery in CRS patients treated with Dupilumab: a real life prospective controlled study.

Background: Recovery of olfactory function plays a prominent role in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). While rates and timing of such recovery vary, monoclonal antibodies might yield better results which we aimed at evaluating with this study.

Methodology: A prospective controlled study was conducted at our tertiary otolaryngological center from April 1, 2021, to October 1, 2022, in CRSwNP patients.

Non-Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Larynx: A State-of-the-Art Review.

(1) Background: Non-squamous cell laryngeal carcinoma includes endothelial tumors, such as minor salivary gland tumors, lymphoepithelial tumors, neuroendocrine tumors, soft and hard tissue sarcomas, and malignant melanomas. (2) Methods: A state-of-the-art review using the MEDLINE/PUBMED, Google Scholar, Ovid Medline, Embase, and Scopus electronic databases was performed. (3) Conclusions: In order to optimize overall treatment outcomes, a multidisciplinary, patient-centered approach to the management of non-SCC of the larynx must be adopted universally; a national or international registry on non-SCC laryngeal cancer can be useful to improve understanding about the behavior of this kind of tumor.
