Abstract

Background: Legal security and bioethics are relevant frameworks of comparative legal analysis for determining maternal-biological affiliation from the perspective of artificial insemination and surrogacy within the epistemological context of the right to identity in the contemporary legal world, especially given scientific advances in genetics and the new concept of the reproductive revolution.

Objective: The objective was to analyze the legal patterns of security and bioethics from the perspective of artificial insemination and surrogacy within the context of comparative law.

Method: The methodology used was a scoping review based on a synthesis of the exploratory review, using a qualitative approach and a basic hybrid (inductive-deductive) method.

Results: The results obtained show a high rate of families who need to legalize surrogacy for strictly reproductive health reasons and are unable to procreate thereby hindering their inherent right to form a family. Among other things, there are diverse regulations in comparative law that require a structured approach based on legal certainty and bioethics, both for the exercise of reproductive rights to motherhood, resorting to infertility treatment as an inherent right, within the framework of human rights as protection of the child's right to identity.

Conclusion: It is concluded that some countries, specifically Peru, lack updated regulations on bioethics and safety in assisted reproduction, including surrogacy. This requires regulations consistent with scientific advances in genetics, reproduction, and the best interests of the child.

Abstract

Atherosclerotic disease significantly impacts patients with type 2 diabetes, who often present with recalcitrant peripheral ulcers. The angiosome model of the foot presents an opportunity to perform direct angiosome-targeted endovascular interventions to maximise both wound healing and limb salvage. A systematic review was performed, with 17 studies included in the final review. Below-the-knee endovascular interventions present significant technical challenges, with technical success depending on the length of lesion being treated and the number of angiosomes that require treatment. Wound healing was significantly improved with direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty, as was limb salvage, with a significant increase in survival without major amputation. Indirect angioplasty, where the intervention is applied to collateral vessels to the angiosomes, yielded similar results to direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty. Applying the angiosome model of the foot in direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty improves outcomes for patients with recalcitrant diabetic foot ulcers in terms of primary wound healing, mean time for complete wound healing and major amputation-free survival.
