Clinical equivalence of conventional OnabotulinumtoxinA (900 KDa) and IncobotulinumtoxinA (neurotoxin free from complexing proteins - 150 KDa): 2012 multidisciplinary French consensus in aesthetics.

Botulinum neurotoxins are the most popular non-surgical treatments for aesthetic indications, but there is uncertainty about whether certain formulations are comparable in efficacy and safety and can be substituted for one another by a simple one to one dose conversion ratio. An expert panel of French practitioners was convened to establish a consensus on the clinical equivalence in efficacy and safety of OnabotulinumtoxinA (900 KDa) and IncobotulinumtoxinA (neurotoxin free from complexing proteins - 150 KDa). The consensus was divided into three sections incorporating a biological, bibliographic and clinical analysis of the two toxins.

[Prevalence and prognostic value of transient ischemic complication preceding cerebral infarction].

To evaluate the prevalence, the aetiological profile and the neurological consequences at day 15 of a transient ischaemic attack (TIA) before a cerebral infarction, we undertook survey from 1985 to 1991, on 1,149 cases with cerebral infarction observed on the population of Dijon. On 1,149 cases, 275 (24%) were preceded by a TIA. Fifty seven cases were lacunar infarcts (20.

Plasma lipoproteins in cortical infarction versus transient ischaemic attacks: a case control study.

The authors investigated the relationship between plasma lipids and the risk for cortical infarction (61 cases) and transient ischaemic attacks (TIA) (35 cases) compared with matched controls. They observed a maximal increase of total cholesterol, of very low-density lipoprotein and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), triglycerides, total apolipoprotein (Apo), B,LDL-Apo B and Apo-A1, and small size high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and large size HDL whose separation was not possible. In contrast they observed a decrease of HDL-ApoE, a distribution of LDL in a single fraction and the presence of LDL of low weight in the group with cortical infarction with or without cardiac arrhythmias.

[Mortality of cerebral infarction with auricular fibrillation. Results of a population study].

To evaluate the relationship between atrial fibrillation (AF) and mortality of the cerebral infarction, we have studied in a population survey, 540 cerebral infarctions, whose 162 were with AF (30%) and 378 without AF (70%). The group with AF differs significantly from that without AF, by the higher frequency of women (62% versus 35%), older subjects (75.4 +/- 10.
