Miscarriage, endometriosis: upcoming "Pasteur Medicine Quarter-Hour" session on June 28

Every month, the Center for Translational Science runs a "Pasteur Medicine Quarter-Hour" session, where two doctors are invited to give a brief presentation to Institut Pasteur scientists on the diseases they are involved in treating. The doctors start by outlining one or more clinical cases, then provide a short description of the disease and conclude by looking at a series of unanswered questions that need to be addressed.

The next session will take place on Monday June 28 from 2 to 3pm via video conference and will explore the topic of miscarriage and endometriosis.

Program:

• Miscarriage – Laurent Mandelbrot (Louis Mourier Hospital)

• Endometriosis – Bruno Borghese (Cochin Hospital)

Miscarriage is a term used to refer to the spontaneous termination of pregnancy. It occurs in roughly one in five pregnancies. Most miscarriages occur in the first weeks of pregnancy. What are the causes of miscarriage and the risks of repeat miscarriage, and how is it treated?

Endometriosis, a condition that has long been poorly understood, is characterized by the presence of tissue resembling the uterine lining outside the uterine cavity, which is affected by hormonal changes with each subsequent menstrual cycle. Endometriosis can be responsible for debilitating pelvic pain and in some cases can result in infertility.

Laurent Mandelbrot is Head of the Gynecology and Obstetrics Department at Louis Mourier Hospital in Colombes.
 
Bruno Borghese is a Professor of Obstetric Gynecology at Cochin Hospital.
 
This Medicine Quarter-Hour is held in conjunction with gender equality awareness month.
