Dermatologists have questioned the possibility of continuing hyaluronic acid (HA) injections during the Covid-19 pandemic period, fearing especially an increase in immune complications. Therefore, the Group for Aesthetic and Corrective Dermatology of the French Society of Dermatology (gDEC) decided to set up a prospective, clincal study over the period May to July 2020 to follow a large patient cohort being injected with HA during the Covid-19 pandemic.

In the field of tissue engineering, many groups have come to rely on the extracellular matrix produced by cells as the scaffold that provides structure and strength to the engineered tissue. We have previously shown that sheets of Cell-Assembled extracellular Matrix (CAM), which are entirely biological yet robust, can be mass-produced for clinical applications using normal, adult, human fibroblasts. In this article, we demonstrate that CAM yarns can be generated with a range of physical and mechanical properties. We show that this material can be used as a simple suture to close a wound or can be assembled into fully biological, human, tissue-engineered vascular grafts (TEVGs) that have high mechanical strength and are implantable. By combining this truly "bio" material with a textile-based assembly, this original tissue engineering approach is highly versatile and can produce a variety of strong human textiles that can be readily integrated in the body. Yarn of synthetic biomaterials have been turned into textiles for decades because braiding, knitting and weaving machines can mass-produce medical devices with a wide range of shapes and mechanical properties. Here, we show that robust, completely biological, and human yarn can be produced by normal cells in vitro. This yarn can be used as a simple suture material or to produce the first human textiles. For example, we produced a woven tissue-engineered vascular grafts with burst pressure, suture retention strength and transmural permeability that surpassed clinical requirements. This novel strategy holds the promise of a next generation of medical textiles that will be mechanically strong without any foreign scaffolding, and will have the ability to truly integrate into the host's body.

After World War II, twenty-nine coastal Salinas (122 km
2 ), located in the vicinity of coastal lagoons and in deltas, were exploited along the Mediterranean coastlines in South France. Today, only five of these are still actively producing salt, currently representing 175 km2 . Concomitant with the abandonment of many of the smaller Salinas, the larger Salinas in the Rhône delta (Camargue) strongly increased their surfaces at the expense of natural ecosystems, of which a part has also been abandoned after 2009. This paper documents these changes in landscape use by chronological GIS mapping and describes the fate of the 91 km2 of abandoned Salina surfaces. The majority of this area (88 km2 ) is included in the Natura 2000 network, among which most (74 km2 ) has been acquired by the French coastal protection agency (Conservatoire du Littoral) to be designated as Protected Areas. Only a very minor part (<1%) has been lost for industry and harbour development. Managing abandoned Salinas as Protected Areas is a challenge, because of the different landscape, biodiversity conservation, natural and cultural heritages issues at stake. In two cases, abandoned Salinas have been brought back again into exploitation by private initiative thus allowing for the protection of original hypersaline biodiversity. In other cases, the shaping of the landscape by natural processes has been privileged. This has facilitated the spontaneous recreation of temporal Mediterranean wetlands with unique aquatic vegetation, and offered opportunities for managed coastal re-alignment and the restoration of hydrobiological exchanges between land and sea. In other areas, former salt ponds continue to be filled artificially by pumping favouring opportunities for waterfowl. This has often been combined with the creation of artificial islets to provide nesting ground for bird colonies protected from terrestrial predators. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

An emerging strategy to improve adhesiveness of biomaterials in wet conditions takes inspiration from the adhesive features of marine mussel, which reside in the chemical reactivity of catechols. In this work, a catechol-bearing molecule (dopamine) was chemically grafted onto alginate to develop a polysaccharide-based membrane with improved adhesive properties. The dopamine-modified alginates were characterized by NMR, UV spectroscopy and in vitro biocompatibility. Mechanical tests and in vitro adhesion studies pointed out the effects of the grafted dopamine within the membranes. The release of HA from these resorbable membranes was shown to stimulate fibroblasts activities ( in vitro ). Finally, a preliminary in vivo test was performed to evaluate the adhesiveness of the membrane on porcine intestine (serosa). Overall, this functionalized membrane was shown to be biocompatible and to possess considerable adhesive properties owing to the presence of dopamine residues grafted on the alginate backbone. Statement of Significance This article describes the development of a mussels-inspired strategy for the development of an adhesive polysaccharide-based membrane for wound healing applications. Bioadhesion was achieved by grafting dopamine moieties on the structural component on the membrane (alginate): this novel biomaterial showed improved adhesiveness to the intestinal tissue, which was demonstrated by both in vitro and in vivo studies. Overall, this study points out how this nature-inspired strategy may be successfully exploited for the development of novel engineered biomaterials with enhanced bioadhesion, thus opening for novel applications in the field of general surgery.

- Abstract
Background: The aim of our study was to identify and evaluate the complications related to hyaluronic acid during the COVID-19 pandemic., Method: Twelve dermatologists participated in this study. A cohort and a non-cohort follow-up were ensured., Results: (1) Cohort follow-up: 1041 patients. 8% had a COVID-19 infection, 27% had received COVID-19 vaccination. 2% had immediate side effects (edema, erythema, bruising). 0.5% had delayed side effects (two inflammatory nodules, one nodule without inflammation, one edema). None of these side effects occurred in the context of infection or COVID-19 vaccinations. (2) Non-cohort follow-up: 7900 syringes used. Two early side effects (inflammatory edema) were reported, of which one occurred 15 days after vaccination. Two cases of delayed side effects such as inflammation on the injected area and inflammatory nodules occurred of which one was in the context of vaccination and one during COVID-19 infection. We estimate the frequency of complications possibly attributable to the disease or to the COVID vaccination to be 0.06% in our population., Discussion: Complications of HA injections in the context of COVID-19 disease or vaccination appear to be very rare but the frequency could be underestimated because of the low rate of vaccination/infection in our population. Our study shows a very good tolerance of hyaluronic acid injections during the COVID-19 pandemic., (© 2022 The Authors. Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology published by Wiley Periodicals LLC.)

- Abstract
Objective: To define the clinical features, imaging results, histopathologic patterns, and clinical outcomes seen in patients who develop vulval swelling as a result of intensive cycling., Methods: The case notes of 8 female cyclists were retrospectively reviewed., Results: The mean age of the patients was 45 years, and all were cycling long distances each week (range, 125-450 km; median, 210 km). All patients had a unilateral swelling of the labium majus. Five patients had magnetic resonance imaging showing asymmetry of the vulva with no enhanced signaling associated with inflammation. Histologic examination in 3 cases revealed dermal fibrosis and dermal edema associated with dilatation of lymphatic vessels. In 1 case, a perifollicular inflammatory infiltrate containing epithelioid granulomas was seen but Crohn's disease was excluded. In another case, fibromuscular hyperplasia was seen. Six patients had surgical excision of the swollen area, and 4 patients were able to resume cycling without problems up to 5 years of follow-up. The cosmetic appearance was initially considered satisfactory by 5 patients. However, 2 patients required a second surgical procedure to further improve the cosmetic appearance. In 1 case, there was a postoperative hematoma followed by an immediate recurrence of the swelling, which persisted., Conclusions: Unilateral swelling of the labium majus occurring in cyclists can be related to dermal fibroedema associated with lymphatic dilatation or to an increase in adipose tissue. Surgical results were satisfactory in 5 of the 6 patients who underwent excision.
