[Development of jurisprudence concerning the medical contract in esthetic surgery].

Published: February 1991

The authors report a study of 60 years of French Jurisprudence in relation to the medical contract in cosmetic surgery. Although the obligation can only be in the form of means in the case of surgery of living tissues, a special obligation nevertheless applies when the operation is not performed as a therapeutic procedure but at the patient's wishes. It is an obligation of caution and diligence, respecting the role of proportionality in the indications and the means applied to obtain the desired objective and the safety of the patient. The application of these means will be judged by the magistrate more severely than in therapeutic surgery. A certain degree of laxity in the investigation of a causal relationship in civil law has led to the use of the concept of decreased chance of survival for the compensation of victims of serious complications occurring during cosmetic surgical operations.

Increased plasma DOPA decarboxylase levels in Lewy body disorders are driven by dopaminergic treatment.

Nat Commun

January 2025

Neurochemistry Laboratory, Department of Laboratory Medicine, Amsterdam Neuroscience, VU University Medical Center, Amsterdam UMC, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

DOPA Decarboxylase (DDC) has been proposed as a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarker with increased concentrations in Lewy body disorders (LBDs) and highest levels in patients receiving dopaminergic treatment. Here we evaluate plasma DDC, measured by proximity extension assay, and the effect of dopaminergic treatment in three independent LBD (with a focus on dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and Parkinson's disease (PD)) cohorts: an autopsy-confirmed cohort (n = 71), a large multicenter, cross-dementia cohort (n = 1498) and a longitudinal cohort with detailed treatment information (n = 66, median follow-up time[IQR] = 4[4, 4] years). Plasma DDC was not altered between different LBDs and other disease groups or controls in absence of treatment.

Background: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are a significant global health challenge, demanding attention and intervention. Despite many STIs being manageable, their asymptomatic nature poses a formidable threat to both mental and physical well-being. This silent impact can lead to substantial morbidity and mortality, which is particularly pronounced in East Africa.

Construction of a rodent neural network-skeletal muscle assembloid that simulate the postnatal development of spinal cord motor neuronal network.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Key Laboratory for Stem Cells and Tissue Engineering Ministry of Education, Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Brain Function and Disease, Institute of Spinal Cord Injury, Department of Histology and Embryology, Zhongshan School of Medicine, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China.

Neuromuscular diseases usually manifest as abnormalities involving motor neurons, neuromuscular junctions, and skeletal muscle (SkM) in postnatal stage. Present in vitro models of neuromuscular interactions require a long time and lack neuroglia involvement. Our study aimed to construct rodent bioengineered spinal cord neural network-skeletal muscle (NN-SkM) assembloids to elucidate the interactions between spinal cord neural stem cells (SC-NSCs) and SkM cells and their biological effects on the development and maturation of postnatal spinal cord motor neural circuits.
