Opportunities and challenges for drug development: public-private partnerships, adaptive designs and big data
2016
Drug development faces the double challenge of increasing costs and increasing pressure on pricing. To avoid that lack of perceived commercial perspective will leave existing medical needs unmet, pharmaceutical companies and many other stakeholders are discussing ways to improve the efficiency of drug Research and Development. Based on an international symposium organized by the Medical School of the University of Duisburg-Essen (Germany) and held in January 2016, we discuss the opportunities and challenges of three specific areas, i.e., public-private partnerships, adaptive designs and big data. Public-private partnerships come in many different forms with regard to scope, duration and typ…
Recommendations for the implementation of BRCA testing in the care and treatment pathways of ovarian cancer patients
2016
In the last 20 years, following the identification of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes (hereinafter referred to as the BRCA genes), preventive pathways have been developed for the identification and clinical management of individuals at high risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer due to the presence of a pathogenic variant in either of these genes. These pathways are aimed at educating high-risk subjects on programs targeted toward early diagnosis and cancer risk reduction. The approval of a novel class of drugs, the PARP enzyme inhibitors, for the treatment of ovarian cancer patients carrying high-risk BRCA pathogenic variants has changed this scenario. BRCA testing, in addition to providin…

Impact of reducing fat, salt and sugar in commercial foods on consumer acceptability and willingness to pay in real tasting conditions: A home experi…
2017
International audience; Decreasing obesity or cardiovascular disease can be achieved by eating healthier foods with reduced contents of fat, salt and sugar. However, these ingredients have a significant impact on the sensory quality of the food products that contain these ingredients, especially cooked sausage, chorizo, dry sausage, cheese and muffins. In this study, consumer appreciation of these five commercialized products (non reformulated versions) and their respective reformulated versions with reduced contents of salt, fat and sugar was tested. An original home experiment was performed to assess consumer appreciation in natural consumption conditions. The experiment was divided into …
Secondary findings from whole-exome/genome sequencing evaluating stakeholder perspectives. A review of the literature
2019
IF 2.004 (2017); International audience; With the development of next generation sequencing, beyond identifying the cause of manifestations that justified prescription of the test, other information with potential interest for patients and their families, defined as secondary findings (SF), can be provided once patients have given informed consent, in particular when therapeutic and preventive options are available. The disclosure of such findings has caused much debate. The aim of this work was to summarize all opinion-based studies focusing on SF, so as to shed light on the concerns that this question generate. A review of the literature was performed, focusing on all PubMed articles repo…
Dissenting voices in a consenting village: lessons from implementation of free, prior and informed consent at a REDD+ pilot in Tanzania
2020
Free, prior and informed consent (FPIC) is a key institutional tool in meeting social safeguards. Its implementation ensures respect of the local people's rights in an intervention. This paper presents a case of FPIC implementation at a REDD+ pilot site. Data were obtained through key informant interviews and focus group discussions with proponents and village members of the Lindi REDD+ project. Findings indicate that the inclusive approach to FPIC by taking the consultations to the hamlet level did not deliver a flawless process. The consent decision was reached by a majority vote, not consensus. There was some dissent, prompting the early establishment of project implementation committees…
Information nutritionnelle, choix et caractéristiques des consommateurs
2012
Consumers’ food decisions are based on the information they receive and on their own individual characteristics. This paper is based on an experiment using experimental economics and sensory evaluation to measure individual characteristics of participants and to analyze the impact of nutritional information relative to orange juice. The aim is to explore the potential link between specific characteristics (risk aversion, time preference) and the reactions of consumers to nutritional information. The results show that participants react significantly to this information supplied, positively for the pure orange juice and a negatively for orange nectars. In addition, “risk averse” individuals …
Cuestiones varias en torno a la determinación de la filiación por doble paternidad

In the present …
Informed consent and medical liability
2018
El reconocimiento del derecho a la información del paciente y del deber de obtener su consentimiento ha supuesto un cambio en el modo de ejercer la medicina. La no obtención del consentimiento informado es causa de responsabilidad profesional, aun a pesar de haber cumplido con el resto de obligaciones médicas y cuidados del paciente. El Tribunal Supremo español considera que la obligación de la información es un elemento esencial de la “lex artis”. Este trabajo analiza esta amplia visión de la jurisprudencia española y los casos en los que la infracción del consentimiento informado da lugar a responsabilidad civil. The recognition of the right of patient’s information and of the duty to obt…
Sharenting and the exercise of parental authority: the first court decisions
2020
El sharenting, fenómeno social ampliamente extendido que consiste en que los progenitores publican fotografías y vídeos de sus hijos menores de edad en sus redes sociales, plantea el problema de si es suficiente el consentimiento del progenitor usuario de la red social o es necesario el de ambos progenitores. Acerca de esta cuestión se han pronunciado varias Audiencias Provinciales, cuyas sentencias se analizan en el presente trabajo. Las mismas se refieren, en primer lugar, a la cuestión de en qué medida el sharenting afecta al derecho a la propia imagen y al de protección de datos personales de los menores y cuándo es necesario el consentimiento de los progenitores para la disposición de …
