Article Synopsis
- Leptospirosis is more prevalent in tropical regions but can require ICU care globally; this study compares severe cases in Réunion (tropical) and mainland France (temperate) to understand clinical outcomes and characteristics.
- The study analyzed two groups of ICU patients with severe leptospirosis, finding that while patient demographics differed (e.g., metropolitan patients were older), severity, length of stay, and mortality rates were similar across both regions.
- Three distinct clinical phenotypes were identified: hepato-renal leptospirosis (54.5% with 8.3% mortality), moderately severe leptospirosis (38.5% with 1.8% mortality), and very severe leptospirosis (7
Mercury (Hg) is a pervasive environmental contaminant that accumulates in the organs and tissues of seabirds at concentrations capable of causing acute or long-term adverse health effects. In the present study, Hg concentrations in Adélie penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae) egg membranes and chick feathers served as a proxy for Hg bioavailability in the marine environment surrounding the northern Antarctic Peninsula. Stable isotopes were measured in conjunction with Hg to infer information regarding feeding habits (δ N, diet/trophic level; δ C, foraging habitat).
