There is currently no practice-based, multicenter database of poisoned patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs). The INTOXICATE study, endorsed by the ESICM and EAPCCT, aimed to determine the ...
Ethical approval was obtained for this multicenter, prospective observational study, and data-sharing agreements were signed with each participating center. An electronic case report form was used to ...
Seventy-eight ICUs, mainly from Europe, but also from Australia and the Eastern Mediterranean, participated. A total of 2,273 patients were enrolled between November 2020 and June 2023. The median age...
The vast majority of patients survive, and approximately one third of patients do not receive any ICU-specific interventions after admission in an intensive care unit for acute intoxication. High-qual...

Clozapine-induced myocarditis and cardiomyopathy are difficult to detect clinically and may be fatal if not detected early. The current/routine biomarkers for clozapine-induced myocarditis are non-spe...
The Clozapine Safety Study was a prospective, longitudinal, observational study to determine what, if any, the plasma concentrations of clozapine, N-desmethylclozapine, and clozapine-N-oxide in patien...
Sixty-seven patients were included. Six patients were diagnosed with myocarditis; none were diagnosed with cardiomyopathy in the study period. In patients not undergoing dose titration, clozapine biot...
The assessment of clozapine-N-oxide formation, and N-oxidation relative to N-desmethylation ratios during treatment, may help identify a biomarker to aid the early detection of patients at risk of dev...
The different phases of a woman's life, such as the reproductive phase and menopause, are points of great hormonal oscillation, especially estrogen and progesterone, which can interfere with skin temp...
To describe and compare skin temperatures of women during their physiological menstrual cycle, the use of exogenous hormones and menopause over a period of 28 days....
This is a prospective observational study using a quantitative approach. A total of 45 volunteers participated and were equally allocated into three groups: Exogenous Hormone Group (EHG), Physiologica...
No significant differences were found between the mean skin temperature of women with a physiological cycle using exogenous hormones and menopause in relation to the evaluation time or between groups....
It was observed that the general skin temperature of women is not altered due to exogenous hormones, menstrual cycle phase or menopause, and that skin temperature tends to be lower in regions with an ...
Historically, norepinephrine has been administered through a central venous catheter (CVC) because of concerns about the risk of ischemic tissue injury if extravasation from a peripheral IV catheter (...
Can a protocol for peripheral norepinephrine administration safely reduce the number of days a CVC is in use and frequency of CVC placement?...
This was a prospective observational cohort study conducted in the medical ICU at a quaternary care academic medical center. A protocol for peripheral norepinephrine administration was developed and i...
The primary outcome was the number of days of CVC use that were avoided per patient, and the secondary safety outcomes included the incidence of extravasation events. Six hundred thirty-five patients ...
This study suggests that implementing a protocol for peripheral administration of norepinephrine safely can avoid 1 CVC day in the average patient, with 51.6% of patients not requiring CVC insertion. ...
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a systemic chronic inflammatory disease that develops in up to 30% of patients with psoriasis. Mixed data variably support the potential ability to "prevent" and/or delay ...
Stroke is a major public health issue. Its epidemiology is still poorly known in French Guiana....
We conducted a prospective observational study including 100 consecutive patients hospitalized for stroke in Cayenne (in French Guiana), and Tours and Besançon (in metropolitan France). We compared th...
In French Guiana, the average age of patients was 7years lower (62 y), patients were more frequently affected by hypertension (75%) and diabetes (31%). Lacunar strokes were overrepresented (16.1%), an...
In Tours and Besançon, patients eligible for thrombectomy were overrepresented. This bias explains the overrepresentation of more severe infarctions and probably the overrepresentation of strokes of c...
Despite some caveats, the profile of patients admitted for stroke in French Guiana is different from mainland France. The establishment of a stroke unit and an information campaign on the symptoms of ...
Upward income mobility is associated with better health outcomes and reduced stress. However, opportunities are unequally distributed, particularly so for those in rural communities and whose family h...
To test the impact of parental supervision on their children's income two decades later adjusting for parental economic and educational status....
This study is a longitudinal, representative cohort study. From 1993-2000, annual assessments of 1,420 children were completed until age 16, then followed up at age 35, 2018-2021, for further assessme...
This study is an ongoing longitudinal population-based study of families in 11 predominately rural counties of the Southeastern U.S....
About 8% of the residents and sample are African American and fewer than 1% are Hispanic. American Indians make up 4% of the population in study but were oversampled to make up 25% of the sample. 49% ...
1258 children and parents were assessed for sex, race/ethnicity, household income, parent educational attainment, family structure, child behavioral problems, and parental supervision. The children we...
Parental educational attainment, income, and family structure were strongly associated with their children's household income at age 35 (e.g., r = .392, p < .05). Parental supervision of the child was...
This study suggests adequate parental supervision during early adolescence is associated with children's economic prospects two decades later, in part by improving their educational prospects. This is...
Cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P) affects 1 in 700 live births globally. Children born with CL/P and their families face various challenges throughout the child's development. Extant research is often li...
A longitudinal prospective cohort study of children born with CL/P and their families. Recruitment occurs across the UK and started in November 2013. Recruitment will continue until September 2027 wit...
The Cleft Collective was ethically approved by the National Research Ethics Service committee South West-Central Bristol (REC13/SW/0064). Parental informed consent is required for participation. Findi...
Pre-existing cardiovascular disease (CVD) or cardiovascular risk factors have been associated with an increased risk of complications following hospitalisation with COVID-19, but their impact on the r...
To determine whether the rate of patient-perceived recovery following hospitalisation with COVID-19 was affected by the presence of CVD or cardiovascular risk factors....
In a multicentre prospective cohort study, patients were recruited following discharge from the hospital with COVID-19 undertaking two comprehensive assessments at 5 months and 12 months. Patients wer...
From a total population of 2545 patients (38.8% women), 472 (18.5%) and 1355 (53.2%) had CVD or cardiovascular risk factors, respectively. Compared with controls (n=718), patients with CVD and cardiov...
Patients with CVD or cardiovascular risk factors had a delayed recovery at 12 months following hospitalisation with COVID-19. Targeted interventions to reduce the impact of COVID-19 in patients with c...
