Subject field(s)
  • Eye Surgery
CONT

Oculoplastic surgery is specialised plastic surgery around the eyelids and face. It is also called oculo-facial surgery as the eyelids are continuous with the forehead, cheeks and deals with the related tear system (lacrimal) and orbits (deeper structures surrounding the eyeball). Surgery is primarily for abnormalities of the eyelids and their surrounding tissues, including their position and contour, in order to maintain, restore or improve function and appearance. This includes eyelid cysts and tumours, malpositions such as drooping eyelids (ptosis), staring eyes in thyroid eye disease, watering eyes and artificial (prosthetic) eyes.

Key term(s)
  • oculo-plastic surgery
  • oculo-facial plastic surgery

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chirurgie de l'œil
DEF

Chirurgie plastique, réparatrice et esthétique de l’œil et de ses annexes.

CONT

[La chirurgie oculoplastique comprend] la chirurgie des ptosis, les réparations des paupières, la désobstruction des conduits lacrymaux, la réparation des fractures orbitaires, la chirurgie de cavités anophtalmes, l'exérèse des tumeurs oculaires, palpébrales et orbitaires, et [les] procédures de rajeunissement facial(blépharoplasties, liftings temporo-frontaux et orbitomalaires, toxines botulique, acide hyaluronique).

DEF

The toxin produced by Clostridium botulinum responsible for botulism (food poisoning).

CONT

The usual laboratory test in suspected cases [of botulism] is analysis of serum, stool, gastric contents, and/or food for botulinum toxin and analysis of stool and/or food for C. botulinum.

Key term(s)
  • botulismotoxin

French

Domaine(s)
  • Microbiologie et parasitologie
  • Armes CBRNE
CONT

La toxine botulinique produite par le Clostridium botulinum est l’une des plus virulentes qui soit. La dose létale moyenne pour la souris est de 0,003 µg/kg. La quantité requise pour contaminer une source d’eau potable, par exemple, est donc très faible, de là son attrait comme arme biologique. De plus, elle est difficilement décelable par les méthodes usuelles de laboratoire.

OBS

With the increasing use of Botulinum toxin in the treatment of various neuromuscular disorders, it is very important that all who are involved be kept up with the latest developments and indications for the use of the toxin. The current literature reflects the potential uses of the toxin but at the same time discrepancies in the dosage of the toxin, and measurement of toxin activity are arising. In addition, basic scientists interested in the toxin for its elegant role as a molecular tool.

Domaine(s)
  • Biochimie
  • Génétique
CONT

Les neurotoxines tétaniques (TeTN) et botuliques (BoNT) sont responsables de deux maladies sévères : le tétanos et le botulisme. Le TnNT bloque la libération de GABA [acide 4-aminobutanoïque] et de glycine dans le système nerveux central alors que les BoNT agissent en périphérie en inhibant la libération d’acétylcholine.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Bioquímica
  • Genética
DEF

[Neurotoxina] producida por la bacteria Clostridium botulinum como un complejo de proteínas que contiene la fracción neurotóxica asociada con componentes no tóxicos.

CONT

La NTBo se sintetiza como una cadena polipeptídica simple [...]. Existen siete serotipos de la NTBo (A, B, C1, D, E, F y G); todos ellos inhiben la liberación de acetilcolina aunque difieren considerablemente con respecto a sus proteínas diana intracelulares, las características de sus efectos y sus potencias.

CONT

La neurotoxina del tétanos [...] actúa principalmente en el sistema nervioso central, mientras que la neurotoxina del botulismo [...] actúa en la unión neuromuscular inhibiendo la liberación de acetilcolina del axón de la neurona afectada hacia la sinapsis, dando como resultado una parálisis fláccida localizada.
