Article Synopsis
- The study, Senior-COVID-Rea, aims to evaluate how age and various health parameters affect mortality within 30 days for COVID-19 patients over 60 years old admitted to ICUs.
- Conducted in seven hospitals in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France, it will collect data on patients’ health and nutritional status before infection, alongside clinical parameters during their ICU stay.
- The primary goal is to identify predictive factors for mortality using statistical methods, aiding clinicians in making better admission decisions for older patients with severe COVID-19.
Introduction: Rapid desensitization allows secure administration of a drug and is indicated when there is no therapeutic alternative.
Case Report: We report a 49-year-old patient who presented with a hypersensitivity reaction following an infusion of rituximab (375mg/m(2)) in the context of a Castleman's syndrome. After a clinical flare (splenomegaly, adenopathies) despite treatment with tocilizumab, anakinra and valganciclovir, the reintroduction of rituximab was decided, according to the rapid desensitization protocol.
Meat products from HEV-infected reservoir animal species are capable of transmitting HEV to humans and represent a public health concern. Human HEV cases have been linked to the consumption of raw or undercooked pig liver sausages, pork, and game meats, such as wild boars and deer worldwide. Direct exposure to swine or wild game species might also represent a source of HEV transmission especially for veterinarians, hunters, or butchers.

We carried out the first nationwide French survey assessing the current practices in radioiodine treatment of hyperthyroidism.
