Aim: To evaluate the impact of corneas from donors over 80 years of age on the activity of the North of France Tissue Bank and to determine the potential cost implications for banks using corneas from older donors.
Methods: We analyzed data from a single-center retrospective cohort study of 6,023 corneas preserved at the Lille Tissue Bank between 2012 and 2023. Donors, unrestricted by age, were divided into two groups: younger (≤ 80 years) and older (> 80 years).
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate whether there is a relationship between microaspiration of secretions and ventilator-associated events (VAE) in intubated patients.
- Data was collected from 261 patients, with only 31 developing VAE; statistical analysis found no significant links between microaspiration and VAE incidence.
- The findings suggest that measuring microaspiration in critically ill intubated patients may not be a reliable method for predicting VAE outcomes.
Article Synopsis
- Acute kidney injuries (AKIs) can occur during marathon and trail running, and a study conducted during a 156 km race in Normandy assessed kidney function at various points during the event.
- Out of 55 runners, 36 were analyzed, with 41.7% showing at least one result indicative of "RIFLE risk" for kidney damage during the race, especially around marathon distance.
- The study suggests a link between renal risk and the likelihood of runners abandoning the race, highlighting the importance of managing hydration and restricting the use of NSAIDs to reduce kidney injury risks.
Article Synopsis
- Ultra-trail running races present significant challenges to glucose metabolism, with previous studies showing varied results based on sporadic measurements of blood sugar levels.
- This study examined the continuous glucose levels of 55 athletes during and after a 156-km ultra-trail race, measuring factors such as running intensity, performance, and psychological stress.
- Findings revealed no immediate risk of hypo- or hyperglycemia during the race itself, but a notable increase in hyperglycemia occurred in the 48 hours post-race, along with significant changes in various biomarkers indicative of physical stress and recovery.
Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C or PIMS-TS) is a severe disease. N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is used for positive and differential diagnosis, diagnosis of complications and severity, and cardiogenic shock prediction. However, contrasting cut-offs have been suggested.
