Cardiovascular prevention and at-risk behaviours in a large population of amateur rugby players.
Background and aim We aimed to investigate cardiovascular risk factors and health behaviours prospectively in a large population of French amateur rugby players. Methods An anonymous questionnaire was displayed to rugby players aged over 12 years enrolled in the 2014–2015 French amateur rugby championship from the Burgundy region ( n = 5140). Questions addressed awareness on: (a) cardiovascular prevention; (b) tobacco, alcohol and highly caffeinated beverages consumption; and (c) adherence to prevention guidelines (ECG checks, training in basic life support, avoidance of sports practice during fever/infectious episodes). Results Among the 640 participants who completed the questionnaires, m…
Correction to: The dysregulated innate immune response in severe COVID-19 pneumonia that could drive poorer outcome
Although immune modulation is a promising therapeutic avenue in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the most relevant targets remain to be found. COVID-19 has peculiar characteristics and outcomes, suggesting a unique immunopathogenesis.Thirty-six immunocompetent non-COVID-19 and 27 COVID-19 patients with severe pneumonia were prospectively enrolled in a single center, most requiring intensive care. Clinical and biological characteristics (including T cell phenotype and function and plasma concentrations of 30 cytokines) and outcomes were compared.At similar baseline respiratory severity, COVID-19 patients required mechanical ventilation for significantly longer than non-COVID-19 patients …
La privation de sommeil fait grossir : mythe ou réalité ?
Resume Notre rythme de vie actuel a entraine une diminution progressive du temps alloue au sommeil. En France, une personne sur 3 dormirait moins de 7 heures par nuit. Dans le meme temps, le nombre de patients souffrant d’obesite a augmente. De nombreuses etudes epidemiologiques soulignent le lien entre la faible duree du temps de sommeil et la prise de poids. En parallele, les etudes experimentales ont observe que la privation de sommeil modifiait le comportement alimentaire en augmentant la sensation de faim et la prise alimentaire. Le cycle nycthemeral induit par l’alternance lumiere–obscurite a une influence majeure sur le sommeil mais aussi sur le comportement alimentaire : la lumiere …
