New modes in non-invasive ventilation
2016
IF 2.536; International audience; Non-invasive ventilation is useful to treat some forms of respiratory failure. Hence, the number of patients receiving this treatment is steadily increasing. Considerable conceptual and technical progress has been made in recent years by manufacturers concerning this technique. This includes new features committed to improve its effectiveness as well as patient-ventilator interactions. The goal of this review is to deal with latest advances in ventilatory modes and features available for non-invasive ventilation. We present a comprehensive analysis of new modes of ventilator assistance committed to treat respiratory failure (hybrid modes) and central and co…
Le pneumocytome sclérosant : une tumeur rare et apparemment bénigne
2020
International audience; Introduction: Sclerosing pneumocytoma is a benign and rare lung tumor affecting epithelial cells. In most cases, patients are asymptomatic and the diagnosis is made on an X ray or a CT scan performed for other enquiry. Sex ratio favors women. Epidemiological studies report that middle-aged Asian women are more frequently affected. Radiological investigations find a solitary nodule or a mass with peripheric localization. When performed, histological analysis shows a tumor composed of at least two of the four following architectures: papillary, sclerosing, hemangiomatous and solid, with two types of cells that can be round or cubic cells.Cases report: We report two cas…
Haemoptysis: a frequent diagnostic challenge
2015
We appreciate and agree with the comments of M. Mondoni and colleagues, that the results of the ongoing prospective Italian multicentre trial ([www.ClinicalTrial.gov][1] identifier [NCT02045394][2]) will be of considerable interest for the management of haemoptysis, a frequent and severe symptom, especially since there is no clear consensus concerning aetiology and treatment. Interestingly, beyond determining the prevalence of diseases that may present with haemoptysis, their epidemiological results will be analysed according to the severity of the symptom. More importantly, their trial will hopefully make it possible to analyse the sensitivity and specificity of complementary tests, such a…
Usefulness of transcutaneous PCO2to assess nocturnal hypoventilation in restrictive lung disorders
2016
Background and objectiveNocturnal hypoventilation is now an accepted indication for the initiation of non-invasive ventilation. Nocturnal hypoventilation may be an under diagnosed condition in chronic respiratory failure. The most appropriate strategy to identify sleep hypoventilation is not yet clearly defined. In clinical practice, it is indirectly assessed using nocturnal pulse oximetry (NPO) and morning arterial blood gases (mABG). Even though continuous transcutaneous carbon dioxide partial pressure (TcPCO2) monitoring is theoretically superior to NPO plus mABG, it is not routinely used. We aimed to prospectively compare NPO plus mABG with nocturnal TcPCO2 for the detection of alveolar…
Haemoptysis in adults: a 5-year study using the French nationwide hospital administrative database.
2015
Haemoptysis is a serious symptom with various aetiologies. Our aim was to define the aetiologies, outcomes and associations with lung cancer in the entire population of a high-income country.This retrospective multicentre study was based on the French nationwide hospital medical information database collected over 5 years (2008–2012). We analysed haemoptysis incidence, aetiologies, geographical and seasonal distribution and mortality. We studied recurrence, association with lung cancer and mortality in a 3-year follow-up analysis.Each year, ∼15 000 adult patients (mean age 62 years, male/female ratio 2/1) were admitted for haemoptysis or had haemoptysis as a complication of their hospital s…

Daptomycin-induced eosinophilic pneumonia: Are there any risk factors?
2020
Abstract Objectives Daptomycin is a widely used antibiotic. Rhabdomyolysis related to daptomycin is one of the adverse effects of treatment, justifying the need for regular monitoring of muscle enzymes throughout treatment. Daptomycin may also lead to eosinophilic pneumonia. However, risk factors for this adverse reaction have not been identified and do not permit targeting of at-risk populations who could benefit from appropriate monitoring. Patients and methods Literature was reviewed for cases of daptomycin-induced eosinophilic pneumonia (DIEP), which that were compared to cases of patients without this adverse effect. Results Fifty patients with DIEP and 54 controls were identified. Age…
Pneumopathies non infectieuses induites par les biothérapies ciblées
2018
Resume Les biotherapies des rhumatismes inflammatoires chroniques ont revolutionne leur prise en charge. Ces nouveaux medicaments sont susceptibles d’induire des effets secondaires multiples, parfois severes et ceux-ci peuvent atteindre l’appareil respiratoire. Les presentations cliniques et radiologiques sont multiples et l’apparition de symptomes respiratoires chez un patient sous biotherapie doit faire suspecter un effet iatrogenique avec au premier plan la survenue de pneumopathies interstitielles diffuses parfois tres severes, de granumolatoses et d’anomalies auto-immunes. La complication infectieuse doit toujours etre eliminee. La demarche est complexe et doit etre rigoureuse ce d’aut…
Comparative performances of machine learning methods for classifying Crohn Disease patients using genome-wide genotyping data
2019
Crohn Disease (CD) is a complex genetic disorder for which more than 140 genes have been identified using genome wide association studies (GWAS). However, the genetic architecture of the trait remains largely unknown. The recent development of machine learning (ML) approaches incited us to apply them to classify healthy and diseased people according to their genomic information. The Immunochip dataset containing 18,227 CD patients and 34,050 healthy controls enrolled and genotyped by the international Inflammatory Bowel Disease genetic consortium (IIBDGC) has been re-analyzed using a set of ML methods: penalized logistic regression (LR), gradient boosted trees (GBT) and artificial neural ne…
