In 1849, Thomas Addison discovered alterations in the adrenal glands at autopsy of three patients who had died with idiopathic anemia. Struck by Addison's work, Charles-Edouard Brown-Séquard demonstrated in 1851 that bilateral adrenalectomy in dogs was fatal. It was not until 1950 that the discovery of the hormones of the adrenal cortex, their structure and their biological effects allowed Kendall, Reichstein and Hench to win the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

Purpose: The pathogenesis of life-threatening coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia in ICU patients can involve pre-existing auto-antibodies (auto-Abs) neutralizing type I interferons (IFNs). The impact of these auto-Abs on SARS-CoV-2 clearance in the lower respiratory tract (LRT) is unclear.

Methods: We performed a retrospective study in 99 ICU patients with COVID-19 pneumonia between March and May 2020.

Article Synopsis
  • Psychotic disorders can hinder recovery, making functional improvement challenging after hospitalization, which is a critical time for intervention.
  • A study analyzed 453 individuals with acute psychosis over a year to explore factors affecting functional recovery, identifying three groups: “improving,” “stable,” and “worsening” function.
  • Notably, those starting with more severe symptoms tended to improve function over time, and while the "improving" and "stable" groups showed lasting psychiatric symptoms improvements, the "worsening" group’s initial gains did not sustain.
  • These findings suggest that focusing on functional recovery is crucial, rather than just preventing relapses.
