In December 2019, cases of pneumonia of unknown cause first started to appear in Wuhan in China; subsequently, a new coronavirus was soon identified as the cause of the illness, now known as Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Since then, infections have been confirmed worldwide in numerous countries, with the number of cases steadily rising. The aim of the present review is to provide an overview of the new severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and, in particular, to deduce from it potential risks and complications for pregnant patients. For this purpose, the available literature on cases of infection in pregnancy during the SARS epidemic of 2002/2003, the MERS (Middle East respiratory syndrome) epidemic ongoing since 2012, as well as recent publications on cases infected with SARS-CoV-2 in pregnancy are reviewed and reported. Based on the literature available at the moment, it can be assumed that the clinical course of COVID-19 disease may be complicated by pregnancy which could be associated with a higher mortality rate. It may also be assumed at the moment that transmission from mother to child in utero is unlikely. Breastfeeding is possible once infection has been excluded or the disease declared cured.Compensation for no-fault medical accidents to professionals or establishments is provided for by article L.1142-1 of the public health code, created by the law of March 4, 2002 relating to the rights of patients and the quality of the health system. It indicates the conditions of accountability, clinical criteria and severity. Among the clinical criteria "a medical accident (...) gives the right to compensation for damages (...) in the name of national solidarity, when (...) they have had abnormal consequences for the patient in view of his condition as well as the foreseeable evolution of it (…)". The jurisdictional orders have had to characterize this "abnormality of the consequences".According to the jurisprudence of the Conseil d'Etat of December 12, 2014 the condition of abnormality is always "satisfied when the medical act entailed consequences significantly more serious than those to which the patient was exposed in a sufficiently probable way in the absence of treatment ". And if this is not the case," they cannot be regarded as abnormal unless, under the conditions in which the act was performed, the occurrence of damage presented a low probability; that thus, they cannot be regarded as abnormal with regard to the state of the patient when the gravity of this state led to practicing an act involving high risks whose realization is at the origin of the damage ". The Conseil d'Etat specified in 2019 that a probability of occurrence of 3% was a low probability. © 2020 l'Académie nationale de médecine. Published by Elsevier Masson SAS.

LY3009120 mw Complications are frequent and induce a wide variety of clinical and histological pictures. The inks, the composition of which is not always known, contain many pigments which degradation products can lead to chronic allergies. The long-term effects of the presence of carcinogenic products and nanoparticles justifies the carrying out of prospective studies. The public should be made aware of these complications and of the difficulties of tattoo removal. © 2020 l'Académie nationale de médecine. Published by Elsevier Masson SAS.

However, three major data may change the severity of these pathologies in young adults, simple measures of healthy lifestyle (control of vascular risk factors, physical activity and cognitive stimulation), have an impact on a future cognitive decline ; the same lifestyle interventions may delay the start of the disease for elderly people potentially at-risk; final
