Prevalence and risk factors for delirium in critically ill patients with COVID-19 (COVID-D): a multicentre cohort study
Background: To date, 750 000 patients with COVID-19 worldwide have required mechanical ventilation and thus are at high risk of acute brain dysfunction (coma and delirium). We aimed to investigate the prevalence of delirium and coma, and risk factors for delirium in critically ill patients with COVID-19, to aid the development of strategies to mitigate delirium and associated sequelae. Methods: This multicentre cohort study included 69 adult intensive care units (ICUs), across 14 countries. We included all patients (aged ≥18 years) admitted to participating ICUs with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection before April 28, 2020. Patients who were moribund or had life-suppo…
The human near-term myometrial beta 3-adrenoceptor but not the beta 2-adrenoceptor is resistant to desensitisation after sustained agonist stimulation.
International audience; 1. In order to compare the beta(2)- and beta(3)-adrenoceptor (beta-AR) desensitisation process in human near-term myometrium, we examined the influence of a pretreatment of myometrial strips with either a beta(2)- or a beta(3)-AR agonist (salbutamol or SR 59119A, respectively, both at 10 microm, for 5 and 15 h) on the relaxation and the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) production induced by these agonists. 2. To assess some of the mechanisms potentially implicated in the beta-AR desensitisation process, we studied the influence of such treatment on the number of beta(2)- and beta(3)-AR binding sites, the beta(2)- and beta(3)-AR transcripts expression and the pho…

Supplementary Table S1. Maximal percentage of inhibition of IL-8, MMP-9, CCL-5, GM-CSF and IL-1β release from neutrophils of healthy subjects and COPD patients. Neutrophils were incubated with aclidinium (Acl; 0.1nM-1 μM), fluticasone (Flut; 0.1nM-1 μM), formoterol (Form; 0.01nM-100nM) or salmeterol (Salm; 0.1nM-1 μM) in response to LPS (1 μg/ml) or cigarette smoke extract (CSE 5 %). The levels of different cytokines in the cell supernatant were determined and the maximal percent of inhibitions were calculated. Values are mean ± SD of 3 independent experiments run in triplicate. *p

Supplementary Figure E1. Effects of formoterol and salmeterol on pro-inflammatory markers. Concentration-dependent inhibition of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cytokines or MMP-9 release by formoterol (Form) and salmeterol (Salm) from peripheral blood neutrophils of healthy subjects and COPD patients. Neutrophils were preincubated with Salm (0.1nM-1 μM) or form (0.01nM-100nM) for 1 h followed by cell stimulation with LPS (1 μg/ml) for 6 h. Results are expressed as means ± SD of n = 3 (3 cell healthy and 3 cell COPD populations run in triplicate) independent experiments. Two-way ANOVA was followed by the post hoc Bonferroni test. *p
