[ACACIAS 3: Learning about announcement consultations in the second cycle of medical studies].

Introduction: The second cycle of medical studies is a key time for developing interpersonal skills and the doctor-patient relationship. High-fidelity simulation is an initial learning option that enables learners to confront situations involving empathy.

Methods: This is a feedback report from May 2023 on the implementation of simulation as a training tool for 2nd cycle medical students in the announcement consultation.

Specific Features of Stromal Cells Isolated from the Two Layers of Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue: Roles of Their Secretion on Angiogenesis and Neurogenesis.

Human-adipose-tissue-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (AD-MSCs) are currently being tested as autologous-cell-based therapies for use in tissue healing and regeneration. Recent studies have also demonstrated that AD-MSC-derived exosomes contribute to tissue repair and peripheral nerve regeneration. Subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue (AAT) is divided into two layers: the superficial layer (sAAT) and the deep layer (dAAT).

Superior Pedicle Breast Reduction: Multivariate Analysis of Complication Risk Factors and Building a Predictive Score in 1306 Patients.

Background: Breast reduction surgery for hypertrophy is one of the most commonly performed procedures in plastic surgery. This surgery exposes patients to complications that are well-documented in the literature. The objective of this study is to identify risk factors to establish an estimate of the risk of developing complications.

Physician compliance with multidisciplinary tumor board recommendations for managing gynecological cancers.

Evaluation of compliance with gynecological multidisciplinary tumor board (MTB) recommendations and its impact. All patient records discussed in our MTB from 2018 to 2020 were analyzed. We analyzed 437 MTB recommendations concerning 166 patients.

Trichilemmal carcinoma of the scalp.

This report describes the case of an 86-year-old male who presented with a large scalp tumour. Imaging revealed a large vertex mass, without intracranial extension, and multiple nodular subcapsular hepatic lesions suspected to be secondary in nature. Surgical resection was performed.

Nostril Surgery: Indications, Surgical Procedures and Outcomes-A Systematic Review of Published Cases.

Introduction: To achieve adequate nasal proportions, nostril surgery can be a complementary technique useful in facial surgery. To help surgeons with the decision to realize nostril surgery, we conducted a systematic review to summarize reported cases on surgical procedures with a specific interest on indications, surgical procedures and postoperative outcomes. A therapeutic algorithm is also proposed.

Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells in Regenerative Medicine: State of Play, Current Clinical Trials, and Future Prospects.

Wound healing is a complex process involving pain and inflammation, where innervation plays a central role. Managing wound healing and pain remains an important issue, especially in pathologies such as excessive scarring (often leading to fibrosis) or deficient healing, leading to chronic wounds. Advances in therapies using mesenchymal stromal cells offer new insights for treating indications that previously lacked options.

The perception of plastic surgery by physiotherapists: a French national descriptive study.

Background: Plastic surgery is a transversal discipline that many people misunderstand, including general practitioners, medical students, paramedics and the public. Plastic surgeons often collaborate with physiotherapists for post-acute care and rehabilitation. They ensure optimal post-operative recovery of the patient.

Use of the Propeller Lumbar Perforator Flap: A Series of 32 Cases.

Unlabelled: Lumbosacral substance defect is a challenge in reconstructive surgery because few coverage solutions are available in this anatomical region. Lumbar artery perforator flaps (LAPs) have been progressively developed and make it possible to solve very complex situations. We report a multicenter study on LAP performed to treat medium and low lumbar defects of various etiologies, to highlight the versatility of this flap as well as its robustness and reproducibility.

Use of Permacol™ to restore depression after temporal muscle flap: A case report.

The temporal muscle has been an essential tool in maxillo-facial reconstruction for more than a century. Despite many technical advances, depression in the temporal fossa after its use is a constant issue. There are several ways to fill this defect.

Depression after temporal muscle flap: A systematic review of the literature.

Background: There are several ways to fill the depression created after temporal muscle flap. Historically, many methods have been described but biomaterials are increasingly used for this indication. We conducted a systematic review of the literature on the use of biomaterials to fill this depression.

Adipose mesenchymal stromal cells: Definition, immunomodulatory properties, mechanical isolation and interest for plastic surgery.

Ever since their discovery in 2001, adipose mesenchymal stromal cells (ASC) have profoundly modified clinical indications and our practice of plastic surgery, thereby placing our discipline at the forefront of regenerative medicine. These cells act through paracrine signaling by synthesizing immunosuppressive and pro-angiogenic factors. They are of key importance with regard to the regenerative properties of autologously grafted adipose tissue (AT).
