Background: The regulatory landscape for plastic and cosmetic surgery across the country plays a crucial role in shaping the practices within its premises, ensuring patient safety, and maintaining ethical standards in the medical community. This review examines the distinct regulatory frameworks that govern Australia, United Kingdom (UK), and Italy practices, focusing on the nuances that influence the professional accountability and safety measures in place.
Methods: A comprehensive scoping review was conducted, exploring the legal and regulatory frameworks governing plastic and reconstructive surgery in Australia, the UK, and Italy. Databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar were searched for relevant studies from infinity to May 2024, which were then analyzed to compare regulatory practices, qualification requirements, and their implications on patient safety and professional accountability.
Results: Each country presents a unique set of regulations that reflect their individual medical, legal, and cultural contexts. In Australia, the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and the Medical Board of Australia impose stringent criteria for differentiating between "cosmetic surgeons" and "plastic surgeons". The UK's approach, governed by the General Medical Council (GMC), emphasizes ethical conduct, informed consent, and transparent advertising. Italy's regulatory framework varies slightly with a specific focus on the qualifications and titles of practitioners.
Conclusions: The study underscores the importance of stringent regulations in plastic and cosmetic surgery, advocating for enhanced regulatory measures and comprehensive education on the qualifications of practitioners. It is imperative that these standards are maintained and adapted as necessary to protect patients in the rapidly evolving landscape of cosmetic and plastic surgery across the different regions.

The advent of smart cities has brought about a paradigm shift in urban management and citizen engagement. By leveraging technological advancements, cities are now able to collect and analyze extensive data to optimize service delivery, allocate resources efficiently, and enhance the overall well-being of residents. However, as cities become increasingly interconnected and data-dependent, concerns related to data privacy and security, as well as citizen participation and representation, have surfaced.

The cis-regulatory elements encoded in an mRNA determine its stability and translational output. While there has been a considerable effort to understand the factors driving mRNA stability, the regulatory frameworks governing translational control remain more elusive. We have developed a novel massively parallel reporter assay (MPRA) to measure mRNA translation, named Nascent Peptide Translating Ribosome Affinity Purification (NaP-TRAP).

Background: To meet their high energy needs, tumor cells undergo aberrant metabolic reprogramming. A tumor cell may expertly modify its metabolic pathways and the differential expression of the genes for metabolic enzymes. The physiological requirements of the host tissue and the tumor cell of origin mostly dictate metabolic adaptation.

Network-based methods utilize protein-protein interaction information to identify significantly perturbed subnetworks in cancer and to propose key molecular pathways. Numerous methods have been developed, but to date, a rigorous benchmark analysis to compare the performance of existing approaches is lacking. In this paper, we proposed a novel benchmarking framework using synthetic data and conducted a comprehensive analysis to investigate the ability of existing methods to detect target genes and subnetworks and to control false positives, and how they perform in the presence of topological biases at both gene and subnetwork levels.
