Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to measure resting energy expenditure (REE) in institutionalized old persons and to determine factors possibly related to change in REE as a basis for estimating energy requirements. DESIGN AND SETTINGS A monocentric cross-sectional study was conducted. Statistical approaches were conducted to determine independent factors associated with REE. Various published predictive equations of REE were compared to our population. PARTICIPANTS 72 residents of a nursing home, mostly women (80.5%) aged 87.4±6.6 years were included. MEASUREMENTS REE (indirect calorimetry), body composition (bio-impedance analysis), biological and anthropometric data were collected. RESULTS Mean REE was 1006±181 kcal/d and was higher in men than in (1227±195 vs. 953±131 kcal/d, p<0.05). According to criteria adapted from the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition consensus, 65.3 % of the institutionalized population were malnourished. In multivariate analysis adjusted on gender and age, REE was positively associated with calorie intake, fat-free mass (FFM), functional abilities (French Autonomie Gérontologie Groupe Iso Ressources scale), and elevated CRP level (> 25 mg/l). Significant differences (p<0.05) appeared between measured REE and predicted REE by using various published equations. CONCLUSION REE of very old nursing home residents is influenced by FFM, calorie intake, functional abilities, and CRP levels and is poorly predicted by classical equations based on age, gender, height, and weight. This suggests a metabolic adaptation to caloric restriction and inflammation and prompts to consider the level of physical activity and muscle loss when assessing caloric requirements in this population.

Arch Pediatr 2021; 28:683-688.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neonatal bacterial infections must be bacteriologically confirmed from laboratory samples to best adjust antibiotic therapy. Lumbar puncture (LP) has been recommended for infants younger than 1 month with suspected serious bacterial infection (SBI) to manage possible meningitis. However, the incidence of bacterial meningitis associated with other infections and particularly with urinary tract infections (UTIs) is low. Recourse to systematic LP may be less essential if infants have a UTI. We aimed (a) to determine the management and frequency of bacterial meningitis coexisting with a documented diagnosis of UTI in infants aged < 1 month who had an LP, and (b) to evaluate the management of infants in emergency admissions with suspected SBI while assessing antibiotic treatment. METHODS We conducted a retrospective single-center study from January 2010 to April 2019 including all cases of neonatal bacterial infections, and collected data on the clinical, laboratory, and radiological features. RESULTS In all, 409 infants were included in the study. Of these, 162 (39.6%) presented with a UTI and eight (2%) had bacterial meningitis. Of the infants diagnosed with UTI, 74.7% had an LP, of whom 34.7% experienced LP complications. No coexistence of UTI and bacterial meningitis was found among infants who had an LP and a documented UTI. CONCLUSION Although not all infants had an LP and a urine culture at the same time, these results show that bacterial meningitis coexisting with a confirmed UTI diagnosis in infants is rare. Furthermore, LP can be traumatic in some cases and therefore its utility should be assessed according to the clinical context.

Abstract
Study question How to ensure a reliable and accurate detection of SARS-CoV–2 in seminal plasma and spermatozoa fractions of human sperm samples? Summary answer This RT-PCR assay showed high sensibility, repeatability and reproducibility for SARS-CoV–2 detection in seminal plasma and spermatozoa fractions, with a detection limit of 17 genomes/reaction. What is known already SARS-CoV–2 pandemic brings numerous concerns, such as the safety of gametes for patients undergoing assisted reproductive technologies, fertility preservation or sperm donation. Transient viremia and expression of SARS-CoV–2 receptors in testis and accessory glands bring the question of the presence of the virus in sperm samples. Moreover, the contamination during sperm collection may be possible. The few available studies about this issue mostly showed the absence of SARS-CoV–2 detection in semen of COVID–19 patients, except one reported study. All these studies performed SARS-CoV–2 detection with RT-PCR assays approved for naso-pharyngeal swabs, without a process specifically validated for semen fractions. Study design, size, duration Method validation was conducted between July 2020 and January 2021. SARS-CoV–2 direct detection was performed according to the French Society of Microbiology guidelines (SFM). Repeatability (n = 6), reproducibility (n = 3), limit of quantification (n = 2) and of detection (n = 6) were evaluated in seminal plasma (SP) and spermatozoa samples isolated after density gradient centrifugation and cryopreserved. In addition, variability of the whole analytical method efficiency was evaluated in samples of men with normal (n = 6) or altered sperm parameters (n = 6). Participants/materials, setting, methods Samples were surplus semen obtained from men undergoing routine semen analysis after granting informed consent. Assays were performed on SP and frozen spermatozoa fractions. After automated RNA extraction (MGISP–960, MGI-Tech®), real-time RT-PCR was performed using the one-step multiplex TaqPath COVID–19 kit (ThermoFisher®) targeting three viral regions (ORF1, nucleocapsid-N and spike-S proteins). An exogenous internal control was added before RNA extraction. Positive samples and dilution ranges were prepared with a standard (SARS-CoV–2 inactivated virus, QnosticTM Randox®). Main results and the role of chance RT-PCR assay applied for human sperm samples has been previously validated and is routinely used for SARS-CoV–2 detection in naso-pharyngeal swabs. We evaluated the efficiency of RNA extraction and RT-PCR for SARS-CoV–2 detection in semen fractions. The qualitative and quantitative performance of the whole analytical method was validated with an accuracy profile for SP and spermatozoa fractions. Overall, for repeatability, the standard deviation (SD) of the cycle threshold (Ct) was lower than 0.40 for the strong positive sample and 0.50 for the low positive one. An exception was observed for the S target of the low positive SP samples (SD = 3) which was consistent with S being the less sensitive target of the assay. For reproducibility, SD of the Ct was lower than 0.30 for the strong positive sample and 0.80 for the low positive, except for the S target of the low positive (SD = 1.5). The linearity range was determined for N target, the most sensitive target of the RT-PCR assay. It layed between 5200 and 52 SARS-CoV–2 genomes/reaction. The limit of detection of the RT-PCR assay was 17 viral genomes/reaction. Equal efficiency of the assay was observed for SP and spermatozoa independently of semen parameters (normal and altered sperm parameters). Limitations, reasons for caution: Our detection method was validated for the whole process: RNA extraction (reagents and system), RT-PCR (reagents and thermocycler QuantStudio 5TM) and for both SP and frozen spermatozoa fractions. Variability might be observed with a different extraction system or a different type of biological sample. Wider implications of the findings: This validated RT-PCR assay enables accurate and reliable screening of SARS-CoV–2 in SP and spermatozoa fractions, mandatory to investigate the presence of the virus in semen samples of patients undergoing assisted reproductive techniques, fertility preservation or sperm donation, and to ensure viral safety in the cryobanking process during covid–19 pandemic.

Abstract
Health benefits of probiotics in humans essentially depend on their ability to survive during gastrointestinal (GI) transit and to modulate gut microbiota. To date, there is few data on the impact of galenic formulations of probiotics on these parameters. Even if clinical studies remain the gold standard to evaluate the efficacy of galenic forms, they stay hampered by technical, ethical and cost reasons. As an alternative approach, we used two complementary in vitro models of the human gut, the TNO gastrointestinal (TIM-1) model and the Artificial Colon (ARCOL), to study the effect of three oral formulations of a Lactobacillus salivarius strain (powder, capsule and sustained-release tablet) on its viability and interactions with gut microbiota. In the TIM-1 stomach, no or low numbers of bacteria were respectively released from the capsule and tablet, confirming their gastro-resistance. The capsule was disintegrated in the jejunum on average 76 min after administration while the core of sustained-release tablet was still intact at the end of digestion. Viability in TIM-1 was significantly influenced by the galenic form with survival percentages of 0.003±0.004%, 2.8±0.6% and 17.0±1.8% (n=3) for powder, capsule and tablet, respectively. In the ARCOL, the survival of the strain tended to be higher in the post-treatment phase with the tablet compared to capsule, but gut microbiota composition and activity were not differently modulated by the two formulations. In conclusion, the sustained-release tablet emerged as the formulation that most effectively preserved viability of the tested strain during GI passage. This study highlights the usefulness of in vitro gut models for the pre-screening of probiotic pharmaceutical forms. Their use could also easily be extended to the evaluation of the effects of food matrices and age on probiotic survival and activity during GI transit.

Abstract
Background:Most patients with chronic inflammatory rheumatism (CIR) have a physical activity (PA) level below recommendations [1,2]. Currently, adapted structures offer a range of activities supervised by adapted physical activity educators. To the best of our knowledge, Argentinean tango is not yet offered in these structures.Objectives:The objective of this pilot study was to study the effect of 24 consecutive sessions of Argentinean tango on the total PA level in patients with CIR, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and spondyloarthritis (AS).Methods:In this controlled, randomized, open-label, clinical trial with two parallel arms, patients were required to attend two tango sessions per week, 48 sessions from 0 (M0) to 6 months (M6) for the intervention group (IG) and 24 sessions from 3 months (M3) to M6 for the control group (CG). Total PA time was measured at M3 using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) [3].Results:A total of 27 patients (23 women) were included, including 15 with RA and 12 with AS. Mean age was 59 ± 12 years, and median disease duration was 10 years (IQR: 3-19). The majority of patients had background treatment (conventional and/or biological). At M3, 22 patients could be evaluated (11 GC patients and 11 GI patients), as 3 patients were lost to follow-up and 2 were unable to come in due to health or professional reasons. The 11 GI patients attended a median of 16 sessions (IQR: 8-22), i.e., approximately one session per week. At M3, the total PA time was not increased, regardless of the measurement method, GPAQ questionnaire (effect size and 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.03 [-0.60; 0.67], p=0.91) or accelerometer (effect size and 95% CI: 0.43 [-0.37; 1.24], p=0.26), and regardless of the intensity of the PA. No significant change was found for sedentary time, disease activity, fatigue, or anxiety. However, improvements were found in body appreciation as assessed by the Body Appreciation Scale 2 questionnaire (p=0.016), balance (p=0.053), wrist bending angle (p=0.092), and shoulder amplitude (p=0.093). The few participants in this study is explained by the geographic distance of the classes and their homes, the lack of availability of patients in professional activity, fatigue, or not liking dance (mainly among men).Conclusion:The results of this pilot study suggest that one Argentinean tango session per week in CIR patients is more achievable than two sessions as originally planned. As the practice of classes in hospitals is constrained due to geographic distance, the sessions could be offered in adapted structures. Nevertheless, our pilot study shows that the Argentinean tango is beneficial for body appreciation in patients with CIR. A qualitative study is needed to better understand these effects.References:[1]Haute Autorité de Santé (2007).

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Despite classic analgesic or effective treatments in rheumatic diseases, such as synthetic DMARDs in RA, patients remain in pain and often turn to non-prescribed pharmacological alternatives, such as cannabis self-therapeutic use. However, this medical use of cannabis has not been thoroughly studied. METHODS We performed a systematic literature review up to June 2020. The incidence of cannabis consumption was calculated by metaproportion. Differences between cannabis users and non-users were expressed as standardized mean differences using the inverse-variance method. We also assessed the effects of cannabis on pain. RESULTS A total of 2900 patients reported cannabis consumption in a sample of 10 873 patients [incidence 40.4% (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.28, 0.54)], and 15.3% (95% CI: 0.07, 0.27) specified that they were currently taking cannabis. Cannabis use was higher in the four fibromyalgia studies [68.2% (95% CI: 0.41, 0.90), n = 611] compared with seven articles concerning RA or lupus [26.0% (95% CI: 0.14, 0.41), n = 8168]. Cannabis consumption was associated with a decrease in pain intensity [VAS pain at baseline 8.2 (2.9) vs 5.6 (3.5) mm over time; pooled effect size -1.75 (95% CI: -2.75, -0.76)]. Cannabis users were younger [58.4 (11.4) vs 63.6 (12.1) years; P <0.001], more often smokers [OR 2.91 (95% CI: 1.84, 4.60)] or unemployed [OR 2.40 (95% CI: 1.31, 4.40)], and had higher pain intensity [5.0 (2.4) vs 4.1(2.6) mm; P <0.001] than non-users. CONCLUSION Nearly 20% of patients suffering from rheumatologic diseases actively consume cannabis, with an improvement in pain. The issue of cannabis use in the management of these patients should be addressed during medical consultation, essentially with cannabis-based standardized pharmaceutical products.

Abstract
Introduction: A national confinement was imposed in France in March 2020 during 55 days to prevent the spread of the virus and protect vulnerable people such as older individuals. This study aimed to describe the movement behaviors, and their determinants, of elderly people (≥ 65 years) during the confinement.Methods: An online survey was conducted from April 1st, 2020 to May 6th, 2020 by the National Observatory for Physical Activity and Sedentary behaviors. This study compared the level of physical activity (PA), sitting and screen time before and during the confinement and identified the impact of initial PA, sedentary profiles of the participants and housing conditions.Results: 1,178 people were included in this study. Reaching PA recommendations before lock-down was associated with the change in PA level during lock-down (p < .001). Besides, geographic location was associated with the change in PA, sitting time and screen time during lock-down (respectively p = .03, p = .02, p = .02).Conclusion: This study confirm the negative impact of confinement on senior movement behaviors, whether or not they met with public health recommendations prior to the pandemic. The housing conditions of older people must be also taken into future public health policies.

Abstract
Introduction The Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy has shown to be useful in the treatment of PTSD, general anxiety, stress and burnout. Nonetheless, assessing therapy progress has been limited to subjective appreciations of the patient and therapist, which compromise therapy efficacy, and the continuum of care (clinic and at home) and scalability that digitized approaches can offer. Objectives The aim of the present study was to validate the potential of a smartphone-based biofeedback digitized approach for EMDR usage in burnout therapy, as a means to provide quantitative progress assessment and personalized therapy optimization. Methods A digitized burnout status assessment app based on Maslach Burnout Inventory was first implemented and tested. Then, an EMDR app was developed by making use of adjustable audiovisual stimuli (e.g. different velocity and horizontal/vertical visual stimuli; and different pitch and left-right surround sound effects) and also of the smartphone’s camera photoplethysmography finger recordings from which heart rate, heart rate variability and breathing rate are derived and used for modulating stimuli (biofeedback). Finally, interviews with several EMDR experts were conducted to assess the potential of the app as a therapeutic adjuvant. Results The preliminary interview results showed that the app can be useful for online therapy, to optimize the stimuli presentation, and to quantify the therapy experience and outcomes. The interviews also validated the technical specifications and usability of the tool. Conclusions Results so far have shown a promising receptivity and interest from EMDR experts. As such, patient testing is currently on-going. Disclosure The work of the present abstract is the basis of the research conducted at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon, co-lead with NEVARO, a spin-off company of the same Faculty.

Abstract
Physicians are sometimes hesitant to use disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) in elderly patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), as they are deemed too fragile, although there are no sufficient scientific evidence. We aimed to compare DMARD treatment retention in early RA patients from the ESPOIR cohort, according to age upon inclusion. Overall, treatment retention was evaluated as the percentage of patients whose DMARDs were not stopped, with stratification by age group: < 50, 50-64, and > 65 years. Survival curves were measured using the Kaplan-Meier method. Of the entire ESPOIR cohort (n = 813), 7% were > 65 years old. Methotrexate (MTX) was used by 521 patients, and was the sole DMARD for 198 patients. MTX treatment retention appeared better in patients > 65 years old compared to < 50 years old [HR 0.45 (0.25; 0.81); p = 0.008, n = 195/198] with adjustment on sex, smoking, positive anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies, positive rheumatoid factor, body mass index, changes in DAS28 and corticosteroid treatment. The proportion of patients using etanercept (n = 111), and this drug's retention rate, did not differ according to patient age. The proportion of patients treated with adalimumab (n = 104) was significantly higher in patients < 50 years old (p = 0.003), and treatment retention was marginally better among younger patients [HR 1.68 (0.88; 3.22), p = 0.12]. Within the ESPOIR cohort, DMARD retention did not appear to differ according to age-except for better retention of MTX treatment in patients 50-64 years old, and of adalimumab in patients < 50 years old.

Abstract
Sperm vitrification has been recently developed, but fertility trials have not been performed yet in equine species. In this study, a new warming technique for vitrified donkey semen was developed and the uterine inflammatory response and fertility were compared to conventional freezing. In Experiment 1, sperm was vitrified in straws and warmed in 3 ml of extender or in a water bath at: 37 °C/30 s; 43 °C/10 s; and 60 °C/5 s. Sperm motility, plasma and acrosome membranes and DNA integrity were compared between treatments. In Experiment 2, jennies were inseminated twice (500 × 106 sperm) in the uterine body either with vitrified or frozen semen (2 cycles/jenny). Pregnancy rates and the uterine inflammatory response (polymorphonuclear neutrophil concentration; PMN) were evaluated after artificial insemination (AI). No differences between warming in extender/water bath were found and 43 °C/10 s was better than lower temperatures in terms of total (53.8 ± 13.2%) and progressive sperm motility (41.4 ± 11.4%). No differences in PMN concentration (×103 PMN/ml) were found between vitrified (276.8 ± 171.6) or frozen (309.7 ± 250.7) semen after AI. However, PMN decreased faster (P < 0.05) using vitrified semen. Pregnancy rates were greater for vitrified (22%) than frozen semen (10%) but not statistically different. In conclusion, donkey sperm vitrified in straws could be directly warmed in a water bath at 43 °C/10 s, reducing the uterine inflammatory response obtained after AI and promoting positive pregnancy outcomes. These findings confirm the possibility to use vitrified semen as an alternative for AI in jennies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] is a promising tool to evaluate therapeutic efficacy in ileocolonic Crohn's disease [CD]. AIMS We aimed to assess the feasibility of early MRI evaluation (week 12 [W12]) to predict corticosteroid-free remission [CFREM] at W52 and prevent long-term bowel damage. METHODS All patients with active CD needing anti-tumour necrosis factor [anti-TNF] therapy were consecutively enrolled in this multicentre prospective study. MRI was performed before starting therapy, at W12 and W52. CFREM was defined as Crohn's Disease Activity Index < 150, C-reactive protein < 5 mg/L and faecal calprotectin < 250 µg/g, with no switch of anti-TNF agents, no bowel resection and no therapeutic intensification between W12 and W52. RESULTS Among 46 patients, 22 [47.8%] achieved CFREM at W52. Anti-TNF agents were able to heal almost all CD lesions as soon as W12 [p < 0.05]. Early transmural response defined as a 25% decrease of either Clermont score (odds ratio [OR] = 7.7 [1.7-34.0], p < 0.001) or Magnetic Resonance Index of Activity (OR = 4.2 [1.3-13.3], p = 0.015) was predictive of CFREM at W52. Achieving at least two items on W12-MRI among ulceration healing, disappearance of enlarged lymph nodes or sclerolipomatosis, ΔADC [apparent diffusion coefficient] > +10% or ΔRCE [relative contrast enhancement] > -30% was associated with a likelihood of CFREM at W52 of 84.6% vs 37.5% in patients without transmural response [p < 0.001]. Early transmural response could prevent bowel damage progression over time using Clermont score (hazard ratio = 0.21 [0.0-0.9]; p = 0.037). CONCLUSION Evaluation of early transmural response by MRI is feasible and is a promising end point to monitor therapeutic efficacy in patients with CD.

Factors Affecting Embryo Recovery Rate, Quality, and Diameter in Andalusian Donkey Jennies. Animals (Basel) 2020; 10:ani10111967. [PMID: 33114673 PMCID: PMC7693601 DOI: 10.3390/ani10111967] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2020] [Revised: 10/22/2020] [Accepted: 10/25/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Embryo transfer has been successfully used for the conservation of equine endangered species, but a number of factors may affect the outcome of these techniques in mares. However, only a few studies have evaluated these factors in donkeys. The present study was conducted to determine which factors affect the recovery rate, morphological quality, and diameter in embryos from Andalusian donkey jennies. According to our results, the factors affecting embryo recovery rate were donor jenny, donor age, successive cycle within donor, number of flushings, and jack. Day of flushing and number of flushings had an effect on embryo diameter, whereas donor jenny and day of flushing had an effect on embryo quality. The knowledge of these factors is crucial to achieve a higher efficiency of embryo transfer in endangered donkey breeds. Abstract Embryo transfer and the vitrification of embryos could be used for the conservation and recovery of endangered donkey breeds. It is important to develop techniques that optimize recovery rates and the cryotolerance of donkey embryos. This study evaluates factors affecting the recovery rate, quality, and diameter of embryos obtained from donor jennies as a starting point for the use of vitrification and embryo transfer in the conservation of the Andalusian donkey. A total of 100 embryos were recovered out of 124 estrous cycles (80.6%). The donor jenny affected the rates of positive flushings (PFR; p = 0.040) and embryo recovery (ERR; p < 0.05) as well as embryo quality (p = 0.004). ERR was also affected by the number of flushings (p < 0.001), donor age (p < 0.05), successive cycle within donor (p < 0.001), and jacks (p < 0.05). Number of flushings (p < 0.001) and jack (p < 0.05) had a significant effect on PFR, whereas the day of flushing influenced the developmental stage (p < 0.001), embryo quality (p < 0.05), and diameter of embryos (p < 0.001). The number of flushings significantly influenced the diameter (p = 0.038) and embryo developmental stage (p = 0.001), whereas the developmental stage was statistically different between herds (p = 0.020). The factors influencing the success of this assisted reproductive technique were donor jenny, donor age, successive cycle within donor, day of flushing, number of flushings, and jack. The identification of these key points is crucial to achieve a higher efficiency of embryo transfer and vitrification processes, before considering their application in the conservation of endangered donkey breeds.

A multicentre Francophone study of 870 rectal resections. Langenbecks Arch Surg 2020; 405:1155-1162. [PMID: 33057822 DOI: 10.1007/s00423-020-02001-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2020] [Accepted: 09/23/2020] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Enhanced recovery program (ERP) is well-established in colorectal surgery. Rectal surgery (RS) is known to be associated with high morbidity and prolonged hospital stay, which might explain why ERPs are less applied in this specific group of patients. The aim of this large-scale study was to assess the feasibility of an ERP in RS compared with colonic surgery. METHODS This study was a retrospective analysis of a prospective database including 3740 patients eligible for colorectal resection from February 2014 to January 2017 in 75 European Francophone centres. Patients were divided into two groups (colon group C vs. rectum group R). The main endpoint was compliance with ERP components. A subgroup analysis was performed in patients for whom a defunctioning stoma (DS) was required after RS. RESULTS A total of 3740 patients were included. There were 2870 patients in group C and 870 patients in group R. The overall compliance rate for ERPs was 81.71% in group C and 79.09% in group R. Patients were significantly less mobilized within 24 h in group R. Specific recommendations for RS concerning bowel preparation and abdominal drainage were significantly less implemented. Overall morbidity was significantly higher in group R. Mean length of stay (LOS) was significantly shorter in group C. In the sub-group analysis, a DS was significantly associated with fewer compliance with early mobilization and early feeding, leading to significantly longer LOS (group R). CONCLUSION ERP is safe and effective in RS, despite the well-known higher morbidity and LOS compared with colonic surgery. DS could be a limiting factor in ERP implementation after RS.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the fertilizing capacity of frozen or vitrified stallion sperm after assessing different warming procedures. In Experiment 1, different warming procedures were compared after sperm vitrification: immersion in extender at 43 °C (C), or in a water bath at 37 °C/30 s (W37), 43 °C/10 s (W43) or 60 °C/5 s (W60). With the W60 treatment, there were greater values (P < 0.05) for VCL (83.93 ± 3.6 μm/s) and ALH (3.00 ± 0.2 μm) than freezing and with the C group, and greater values (P < 0.001) for PM (35.33 ± 2.5 %) than with the W43 treatment. In Experiment 2, the fertilizing capacity of vitrified and frozen sperm was assessed utilizing heterologous IVF procedures, using cattle oocytes. Vitrification resulted in greater values (P < 0.05) than freezing for the number of bound sperm (1.36 ± 0.3 and 0.69 ± 0.2, respectively). There were no differences between frozen or vitrified sperm in pronuclear formation (26 hours post-insemination - hpi; 14.08 ± 4.2 % and 22.78 ± 4.8 %, respectively) or cleavage rate (32.77 ± 4.3 % and 39.66 ± 4.6 %, respectively). In conclusion, vitrified stallion sperm warmed in a water bath at 60 ºC had the capacity to penetrate cattle oocytes, leading to pronuclear formation and hybrid embryo cleavage after heterologous IVF.

Abstract
Ectopic maxillary third molars (EMTM) are extracted mainly by the Caldwell-Luc technique but also by nasal endoscopy. There is currently no consensus on the treatment of this eruption and its management is heterogeneous and multidisciplinary. Two literature searches were performed with no time restrictions via Pubmed. In the first, we used the keywords "ectopic AND third molar" and in the second the keywords "dentigerous cyst AND ectopic third molar". For both articles, epidemiological, symptomatic, radiological and surgical data were recorded. Overall, 33 eligible articles were identified involving 39 cases of EMTM. 79% of patients were symptomatic. 87% of the teeth were associated with a dental cyst. In only 13% of cases was the location of the tooth in the sinus specified in the three planes of the space. Surgery was performed in 77% of patients by the Caldwell-Luc technique, by nasal endoscopy in 10% and by the Le Fort I approach in 3%. The indications for avulsion of EMTM are symptomatic patients or asymptomatic patients with an associated cyst. The intra-sinusal location of the tooth is not a factor in the choice of technique used, which depends rather on the individual skills of the surgeon. Although for a trained operator the Le Fort I osteotomy is an easy procedure, its interest in the treatment of EMTM is limited owing to the rare but potentially severe complications involved.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Structured laparoscopic training courses are important in surgical education. Different programmes have been proposed, but there is currently no evidence available comparing the performance of specialists versus residents in Obstetrics and Gynaecology at these courses. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of the laparoscopic component of Gynaecological Endoscopic Surgical Education and Assessment (GESEA) Training and Certification courses in two different populations. MATERIALS AND METHODS Prospective cohort study. Two groups were analysed - participants of the Residents' Courses and participants of the Annual Francophone GESEA Diploma Course. Both groups were evaluated using the GESEA Level 1 laparoscopic standardised exercises and carried out in the International Center of Endoscopic Surgery (CICE), Clermont Ferrand, France in 2019. RESULTS 57 French residents and 69 participants of the Annual GESEA Diploma were evaluated. The average age of participants in the Residents' Course was lower than those in the Annual Diploma Course (28.4±1.6 versus 35.2±8.0 years, p<0.001). Residents had higher previous experience in laparoscopic surgery (42% vs 36%, p< 0.001), in animal model surgery and in laparoscopic training box (67% vs 36% and 93% vs 67% respectively, p<0.001). Notable improvement was noted in both groups in the camera navigation exercise; first attempt 105±19 vs 117±9 seconds and final attempt 81±15 and 103±20 seconds respectively (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Both groups improved significantly in most of the tests evaluated. French residents had better results in all evaluations, except in one aspect of the suture exercise (maintaining optimal results in performing the knot). After excluding the residents who attended the Annual Diploma Course, all the differences between both groups were statistically more significant.

One-step warming does not affect the in vitro viability and cryosurvival of cryotop-vitrified donkey embryos. Theriogenology 2020; 152:47-52.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to compare the effects of two warming protocols (three-step vs. one-step dilution) on embryo quality, post-warming embryo survival and embryo cell viability of donkey embryos vitrified by the Cryotop method. Twenty, Day 7-8, grade 1-2 donkey embryos were measured, morphologically evaluated and vitrified using the Cryotop technique. Embryos were then randomly warmed using two different warming procedures: (i) W3 (three-step dilution; n = 11): embryos were warmed in 1 M, 0.5 M and 0 M sucrose, and (ii) W1/0.5 (one-step dilution; n = 9): embryos were warmed directly in 0.5 M sucrose. After 3 and 24 h of warming, the embryos were measured and evaluated for their morphology, developmental stage and viability (Propidium Iodide-Hoechst 33,342 dyes). Although both treatments decreased embryo quality after warming (P < 0.05), no significant differences (P > 0.05) were observed between protocols in terms of post-warming embryo quality, diameter and embryo survival. Greater percentages of dead cells (P < 0.001) were observed when embryos were warmed directly in 0.5 M sucrose (one-step dilution) when compared to the three-step protocol. The percentage of ruptured embryos was 27.3% and 0% in W3 and W1/0.5 protocols (P = 0.0893), respectively. In conclusion, warming Cryotop-vitrified donkey embryos directly in 0.5 M sucrose had no negative effects on embryo quality and post-warming embryo survival. Moreover, one-step protocol may help to prevent rupture when donkey embryos warmed directly in 0.5 M sucrose. These results observed in vitro must be verified by embryo transfer.
