Unexpected adverse effect of metyrapone: A case report
2018
Effet secondaire inattendu de la métyrapone : à propos d’un cas
2018
Introduction L’hypercorticisme est une pathologie rare et l’utilisation de la metyrapone est peu frequente. Le surdosage en metyrapone se traduit habituellement par des symptomes gastro-intestinaux et une insuffisance surrenalienne aigue. Observation Un diagnostic d’hypercorticisme est realise chez un homme de 28 ans. Un traitement par metyrapone 250 mg deux fois par jour a debute pour controler l’hypercorticisme. Le patient est hospitalise pour une intoxication medicamenteuse volontaire avec 100 comprimes de metyrapone. Un diagnostic d’insuffisance surrenalienne aigue est pose devant des douleurs abdominales, des vomissements, une asthenie et une hypotension. Il ne presente pas de myalgies…
Liver Fat Content in People with Pituitary Diseases: Influence of Serum IGF1 Levels
2017
AbstractNon-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is commonly associated with obesity, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes. NAFLD is also seen in patients with endocrinopathies. However, the relationship between endocrine diseases and the development of NAFLD is not well known. In this study, we set out to determine whether liver fat content (LFC) was associated with IGF1 levels in people with pituitary diseases (PD). Eighty-nine patients with pituitary diseases and 74 healthy controls were included in this study. LFC was measured using MRI. Hepatic steatosis was defined as LFC>5.5%. Patients with PD were older, and had a higher BMI than healthy controls. LFC was significantly higher…
Observation of $Z$ production in proton-lead collisions at LHCb
2014
The first observation of $Z$ boson production in proton-lead collisions at a centre-of-mass energy per proton-nucleon pair of $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=5~\text{TeV}$ is presented. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of $1.6~\text{nb}^{-1}$ collected with the LHCb detector. The $Z$ candidates are reconstructed from pairs of oppositely charged muons with pseudorapidities between 2.0 and 4.5 and transverse momenta above $20~\text{GeV}/c$. The invariant dimuon mass is restricted to the range $60-120~\text{GeV}/c^2$. The $Z$ production cross-section is measured to be \begin{eqnarray*} ��_{Z\to��^+��^-}(\text{fwd})&=&13.5^{+5.4}_{-4.0}\text{(stat.)}\pm1.2\text{(syst.)}~\text{nb} …
SARS-CoV-2 vaccination modelling for safe surgery to save lives: data from an international prospective cohort study
2021
Abstract Background Preoperative SARS-CoV-2 vaccination could support safer elective surgery. Vaccine numbers are limited so this study aimed to inform their prioritization by modelling. Methods The primary outcome was the number needed to vaccinate (NNV) to prevent one COVID-19-related death in 1 year. NNVs were based on postoperative SARS-CoV-2 rates and mortality in an international cohort study (surgical patients), and community SARS-CoV-2 incidence and case fatality data (general population). NNV estimates were stratified by age (18–49, 50–69, 70 or more years) and type of surgery. Best- and worst-case scenarios were used to describe uncertainty. Results NNVs were more favourable in su…

Searches for violation of lepton flavour and baryon number in tau lepton decays at LHCb
2013
Searches for the lepton flavour violating decay tau(-) -> mu(-)mu(+)mu(-) and the lepton flavour and baryon number violating decays tau(-) -> (p) over bar mu(+)mu(-) and tau(-) -> p mu(-)mu(-) have been carried out using proton-proton collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb(-1), taken by the LHCb experiment at root s = 7 TeV. No evidence has been found for any signal, and limits have been set at 90% confidence level on the branching fractions: B(tau(-) -> mu(-)mu(+)mu(-) mu(+)mu(-)) p mu(-)mu(-)) (p) over bar mu(+)mu(-) and tau(-) -> p mu(-)mu(-) decay modes represent the first direct experimental limits on these channels.
Gastrointestinal symptoms and association with medication use patterns, adherence, treatment satisfaction, quality of life, and resource use in osteo…
2016
The Medication Use Patterns, Treatment Satisfaction, and Inadequate Control of Osteoporosis Study (MUSIC-OS) is a prospective, observational study of women with osteoporosis in Europe and Canada. At baseline, patients with gastrointestinal symptoms reported lower adherence to osteoporosis treatment, treatment satisfaction, and health-related quality of life, than those without gastrointestinal symptoms. INTRODUCTION: The aim of the study was to examine gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms and the association between GI symptoms and treatment adherence, treatment satisfaction, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among osteoporotic women in Europe and Canada. METHODS: Baseline results are re…
CO-74: Altérations majeures du sphingophospholipidome des lipoprotéines de haute densité (HDL) de patients avec syndrome métabolique et glycémie norm…
2016
Rationnel Les phospholipides et sphingolipides jouent un role primordial dans la fonctionnalite et le role anti-atherogene des HDL. Ces proprietes sont alterees chez les patients porteurs d'un syndrome metabolique avant meme l'apparition d'une hyperglycemie. Nous avons donc recherche si les HDL de ces patients presentaient des anomalies de leur sphingophospholipidome. Patients et Methodes Par chromatographie liquide couplee a la spectrometrie de masse en tandem, nous avons quantifie 80 especes moleculaires des principales classes de phospholipides et sphingolipides des HDL2 et HDL3, chez 26 patients avec un syndrome metabolique et une glycemie a jeun nor-male (14 hommes, 12 femmes, âge moye…
