    Abstract Implants for the cure of female genital prolapse still show numerous complications cases that sometimes have dramatic consequences. These implants must be improved to provide physiological support and restore the normal functionalities of the pelvic area. Besides the trend towards lighter meshes, a better understanding of the in vivo role and impact of the mesh implantation is required. This work investigates the mechanical impact of meshes after implantation with regards to the behavior of the native tissues. Three meshes were studied to assess their mechanical and biological impact on the native tissues. An animal study was conducted on rats. Four groups (n = 17/group) underwent surgery. Rats were implanted on the abdominal wall with one of the three polypropylene knitted mesh (one mesh/group). The last group served as control and underwent the same surgery without any mesh implantation. Post-operative complications, contraction, mechanical rigidities, and residual deformation after cyclic loading were collected. Non-parametric statistical comparisons were performed (Kruskal-Wallis) to observe potential differences between implanted and control groups. Mechanical characterization showed that one of the three meshes did not alter the mechanical behavior of the native tissues. On the contrary, the two others drastically increased the rigidities and were also associated with clinical complications. All of the meshes seem to reduce the geometrical lengthening of the biological tissues that comes with repetitive loads. Mechanical aspects might play a key role in the compatibility of the mesh in vivo. One of the three materials that were implanted during an animal study seems to provide better support and adapt more properly to the physiological behavior of the native tissues.

    Abstract Background: As endometriosis is not a single condition but different morphological types, it is easy to conceive that its management allow for a diversity of approaches. The objective of this literature review is about a simplified pathway through care for patients with endometriosis, and to target the right time for surgical treatment.
    Methods: Through a literature and references review, the different surgical care arrangements according to attainment, to symptoms and to the patients demands and expectations are reviewed.
    Results: An existing literature and recommendations synthesis has been done, and it was found that an optimum medical or surgical care rely on a multidisciplinary approach. Asymptomatic patients should not have surgery, and the medical treatment precede surgical treatment in numerous indications. In case of a surgical need, the right moment is determined by the recommendations, as noted in this article. Different aspects are necessary, the symptomatology, the intend to be pregnant and the recurrence of lesions in particular, but also the use of medically assisted reproduction or not.
    Conclusion: In order to optimize the surgical treatment of patients with endometriosis, it is advisable to not refer these patients to the surgeon not too soon and not too late, furthermore if he's an expert. In all cases the treatment is multidisciplinary, and the most difficult cases are referred to multidisciplinary consultative reunion. The surgical treatment relies on "centre of expertise's" existence for some specific forms of deep endometriosis. The surgical treatment is a question of both pathology and timing.
    Brief summary: In order to optimize the surgical treatment of endometriosis, it is advisable to refer patients to the surgeon at the right moment.

    Title translation Tooth and pregnancy, a public health issue.
    Abstract Pregnancy is a particularly risky moment for periodontal and oral healthcare. The main diseases encountered are the development or worsening of carious lesions and gestational periodontal diseases such as gingivitis, epulis or gestational periodontitis. There is a lack of knowledge from health professionals and their patients, firstly on the link between poor oral hygiene and the impact on pregnancy, and secondly on the feasibility of oral care during pregnancy. There is a link between periodontal diseases and the increase of premature delivery risk, child with low birth weight and pre-eclampsia. Periodontal care during pregnancy would lower this risk. However, no link has been highlighted to date between oral care provided during pregnancy and the reduction of premature delivery or even of pre-eclampsia. Loco-regional anaesthesia and taking x-ray images-even dental panoramic radiography-are not contraindicated for pregnant women. All periodontal and oral care can be performed during pregnancy, at all gestational ages.

    Abstract Background: The emergence of new technologies in the obstetrical field should lead to the development of learning applications, specifically for obstetrical emergencies. Many childbirth simulations have been recently developed. However, to date none of them have been integrated into a serious game.
    Objective: Our objective was to design a new type of immersive serious game, using virtual glasses to facilitate the learning of pregnancy and childbirth pathologies. We have elaborated a new game engine, placing the student in some maternity emergency situations and delivery room simulations.
    Methods: A gynecologist initially wrote a scenario based on a real clinical situation. He also designed, along with an educational engineer, a tree diagram, which served as a guide for dialogues and actions. A game engine, especially developed for this case, enabled us to connect actions to the graphic universe (fully 3D modeled and based on photographic references). We used the Oculus Rift in order to immerse the player in virtual reality. Each action in the game was linked to a certain number of score points, which could either be positive or negative.
    Results: Different pathological pregnancy situations have been targeted and are as follows: care of spontaneous miscarriage, threat of preterm birth, forceps operative delivery for fetal abnormal heart rate, and reduction of a shoulder dystocia. The first phase immerses the learner into an action scene, as a doctor. The second phase ask the student to make a diagnosis. Once the diagnosis is made, different treatments are suggested.
    Conclusions: Our serious game offers a new perspective for obstetrical emergency management trainings and provides students with active learning by immersing them into an environment, which recreates all or part of the real obstetrical world of emergency. It is consistent with the latest recommendations, which clarify the importance of simulation in teaching and in ongoing professional development.
