In every patient, the defect involved the vulva, perineum and inguinal area; in 18 patients, the mons pubis was also involved. The mean follow-up was 30 months. During the follow-up, six patients died, and four showed local or nodal cancer relapse.
Our results suggest that the advantages of SCIP flap for the reconstruction of vulvoperineal defects secondary to vulvar cancer surgery include low complication rate, minimal donor site morbidity, quick dissection, proximity of donor and recipient sites, possibility to harvest large skin islands of variable thickness and chimeric flaps.

Patient transport represents the second largest item of cost of dialysis after hospitalization. A significant proportion of patients transported by ambulance are self-sufficient for walking.
A study was carried out in the PACA region (France) to analyse the profile of patients transported by ambulance and self-sufficient for walking and then to evaluate the savings for the Health Insurance.
A triangulation of data was carried out using data from haemodialysis patients recorded in the French REIN Registry in 2017and data from two surveys one of a sample of patients transported by ambulance and autonomous in walking, and the other of 62nephrologists.
The data from the REIN register allowed us to estimate that 44% of patients transported by ambulance are self-sufficient for walking. Our study allowed us to estimate that 2/3of patients transported by ambulance, self-sufficient for walking, have a reason for being transported by ambulance; for the third without a reason, the health insurance savings would amount to €2million per year with a reclassification of their transport as seated transport. BTK inhibitor in vitro The survey of prescribers showed that there are exemptions justified by a temporary deterioration in health and/or housing conditions, but also by the lack of seated transport.
One third of the patients, transported by ambulance and self-sufficient for walking, would have an inappropriate transport. This would be explained by the fluctuating state of health of the patients and would also linked to the lack of seated transportation. Savings are possible and depend in part on improved management of the supply.

Poor teamwork and communication are recurring contributing factors to adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. Simulation can improve outcomes and is now a compulsory part of the national training matrix. Components of successful training include involving the multi-professional team, high fidelity models, keeping training on-site, and focussing on human factors training; a key factor in adverse patient outcomes. The future of simulation training is an exciting field, with the advent of augmented reality devices and the use of artificial intelligence.Stillbirth or neonatal death is one of the most traumatic and distressing life experiences with negative psychosocial effects. Perinatal grief is natural and understandable, and, if not recognized and well supported, may lead to long-term harmful effects. Harm may also be caused to the other surviving siblings, families, and next generation. This can be helped by effective bereavement care. Bereavement care is an area of enormous needs, relatively untraveled road. Though the loss cannot be undone, but a negative impact can be minimized by compassionate supportive care. This chapter will focus on the need of a trained team for effective bereavement care. Principles of evidence-based best practices from the literature will be reviewed and translated into key practice implications. An emphasis is laid on a structured training involving the whole team. We hope this will help in day-to-day situation handling so as to prevent the harm associated with unaddressed grief. Areas of gap with the further need of research are highlighted.Strengthening the capacity of midwives and nurses in low- and middle-income countries to lead research is an urgent priority in embedding and sustaining evidence-based practice and better outcomes for women and newborns during childbearing. International and local travel restrictions, and physical distancing resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic have compromised the delivery of many existing programmes and challenged international partnerships working in maternal and newborn health to adapt rapidly. In this paper, we share the experiences of a midwife-led research partnership between Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda, the UK, Zambia and Zimbabwe in sustaining and enhancing capacity strengthening activities remotely in this period. Whilst considerable challenges arose, and not all were overcome, collectively, we gained new insights and important learning which have shifted perspectives and will impact future design and delivery of learning programmes.
Does blastocyst biopsy for preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) increase the risk of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes?
Retrospective cohort study of 5097 single vitrified-warmed blastocyst transfer cycles from January 2016 to December 2018, with 2061 cycles in the biopsied group and 3036 cycles in the unbiopsied group enrolled in the analyses. Maternal and neonatal outcomes were compared between the two groups.
The live birth rate in the biopsied group (41.1%) was significantly higher than that in the unbiopsied group (35.6%, adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.27, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.05-1.54, P = 0.012) after adjusting for maternal age, maternal body mass index, gravidity, parity, infertility diagnosis, timing of blastocyst transfer, blastocyst quality, regimen of endometrial preparation, endometrial thickness before transfer and treatment year. The rates of total pregnancy loss (25.4% versus 32.2%, aOR 0.69, 95% CI 0.52-0.91, P = 0.008) and early miscarriage (12.1% versus 17.3%, aOR 0.56, 95% CI 0.38-0.83, P = 0.004) were significantly lower in the biopsied group than in the unbiopsied group. No significant differences were found in sex ratio or the risks of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, diabetes in pregnancy, placenta previa, preterm premature rupture of membranes, low birthweight, very low birthweight, macrosomia, small for gestational age, large for gestational age or birth defects between the two groups. When the subgroup analyses were conducted based on different types of PGT, similar patterns were found for all types.
Blastocyst biopsy might not increase the risks of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes in the short term.

What is the effect of parental origin of translocation and predictors for obtaining a euploid embryo in preimplantation genetic testing for chromosomal structural rearrangements (PGT-SR) for balanced translocation carriers?
A total of 179 PGT-SR cycles and 614 blastocysts from 123 couples carrying a balanced translocation were retrospectively analysed. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) was performed after trophectoderm biopsy.
There were no differences in ovarian stimulation parameters or PGT-SR outcomes regarding the number of oocytes retrieved (11.95±5.71 versus 11.82±6.26), blastulation rate (0.42±0.27 versus 0.45±0.28), biopsy cancellation rate (11.7% versus 12.9%), the number of blastocysts for biopsy (3.70±2.58 versus 4.04±3.51), or the proportion of euploid embryos (23.80% versus 25.42%), aneuploid embryos (58.10% versus 57.52%) and mosaic embryos (18.10% versus 17.06%) between female carriers and male partner carriers. In a multivariate logistic regression model, the number of blastocysts for bion one PGT cycle.
Can workflow during IVF be facilitated by artificial intelligence to limit monitoring during ovarian stimulation to a single day and enable level-loading of retrievals?
The dataset consisted of 1591 autologous cycles in unique patients with complete data including age, FSH, oestradiol and anti-Müllerian concentrations, follicle counts and body mass index. Observations during ovarian stimulation included oestradiol concentrations and follicle diameters. An algorithm was designed to identify the single best day for monitoring and predict trigger day options and total number of oocytes retrieved.
The mean error to predict the single best day for monitoring was 1.355 days. After identifying the single best day for evaluation, the algorithm identified the trigger date and range of three oocyte retrieval days specified by the earliest and the latest day on which the number of oocytes retrieved was minimally changed with a variance of 0-3 oocytes. Accuracy for prediction of total number of oocytes with baseline testing alone or in combination with data on the day of observation was 0.76 and 0.80, respectively. The sensitivities for estimating the total number and number of mature oocytes based solely on pre-IVF profiles in group I (0-10) were 0.76 and 0.78, and in group II (>10) 0.76 and 0.81, respectively.
A first-iteration algorithm is described designed to improve workflow, minimize visits and level-load embryology work. This algorithm enables decisions at three interrelated nodal points for IVF workflow management to include monitoring on the single best day, assign trigger days to enable a range of 3 days for level-loading and estimate oocyte number.

Use of popliteal nerve blocks (PNBs) as an alternative or adjunctive therapy to traditional methods of pain control (e.g., systemic or spinal anesthesia and opioids) is increasingly popular in foot and ankle surgery.
We reviewed online databases for literature on PNBs in foot and ankle surgery to analyze the various techniques and positioning used, the influence of drugs on their efficacy, and possible complications associated with their use. Thirty articles were identified with a predefined search criteria, followed by a review process for relevance.
Patient demographics, procedure specifics, and block techniques, such as anesthetic used, can impact the duration and success of a PNB. Administration with ultrasound guidance proved superior to nerve stimulation, and preoperative administration was superior to postoperative administration.
PNBs are an effective method to control postoperative pain with minimal complications, leading to decreased analgesic use, earlier discharge, and higher patient satisfaction.
