ABSTRACT

Photoplethysmography (PPG) is an optical technique that monitors oxygen saturation levels that is captured by pulse oximeters and some wearables such as smartwatches. The technique has been shown to overestimate oxyhemoglobin saturation in patients with darker skin, potentially leading to silent hypoxia and a disproportionately higher number of deaths in black and brown COVID-19 patients. We demonstrate a novel PPG technique that uses radially polarized light created by light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to address this problem. Our method performs single-shot, multiple polarization measurements using a single wavelength. We present a new use for vector-beams as well as the first demonstration of vector-beam generation using LEDs. © COPYRIGHT SPIE. Downloading of the is permitted for personal use only.

ABSTRACT

Depuis le début de la pandémie COVID-19, de nombreuses données attestent du lien entre l'infection à SARS-CoV-2 et des manifestations auto-immunes [1]. L'annexine A2 (ANXA2) est une protéine de 36 kD appartenant à la famille des annexines, protéines liant les phospholipides chargés négativement. Elle joue un rôle important dans la fibrinolyse in vitro et in vivo. L'ANXA2 est aussi abondante dans les cellules alvéolaires de type II et joue un rôle dans le maintien de l'intégrité microvasculaire pulmonaire en situation d'hypoxie. L'objectif de notre étude est de déterminer la prévalence des anticorps anti-ANXA2 chez des patients COVID-19 hospitalisés en réanimation et de rechercher une association entre la présence des anticorps anti-ANXA2 et un pronostic défavorable. Il s'agit d'une étude prospective s'intégrant dans le cadre du protocole THROMBOCOVID. Des patients hospitalisés en réanimation pour pneumopathie à SARS-CoV-2 ont été inclus entre avril 2020 et mai 2021. Des données démographiques et cliniques ont été recueillies telles que l'âge, le sexe, la présence d'une thrombose vasculaire [thrombose veineuse (thrombose veineuse profonde, embolie pulmonaire) et/ou artérielle (AVC, infarctus du myocarde, ischémie de membre)] et le décès. Les anticorps anti-ANXA2 d'isotype IgG et IgM ont été détectés par une technique ELISA « maison ». Nous avons inclus de manière prospective 107 patients dont 30 femmes et 77 hommes. L'âge médian est de 67 ans [29–87]. La mortalité est de 44 %. La présence d'une thrombose vasculaire est retrouvée chez 23 % des patients. La fréquence des anticorps anti-ANXA2 (titre > 3DS) est de 20,5 %. Les anticorps anti-ANXA2 sont majoritairement d'isotype IgM (IgG : 6,5 % ;IgM : 17,7 %). Les anticorps anti-ANXA2 sont retrouvés chez 36 % des patients ayant présenté une thrombose veineuse (thrombose veineuse profonde et/ou embolie pulmonaire). La présence d'anticorps anti-ANXA2 ne représente pas un facteur prédictif de mortalité. La fréquence des anticorps anti-ANXA2 au cours de l'infection COVID-19 chez des patients en réanimation est semblable à celle rencontrée au cours du SAPL [2]. D'autres études seront nécessaires afin de déterminer la persistance de ces auto-anticorps et si leur présence est associée au risque de développer une fibrose pulmonaire.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: External laryngeal trauma represents a rare medical and surgical emergency. Examination of the endolarynx as well as CT are very important for the assessment of the lesions. The surgical treatment aims to restore the permeability of the laryngeal pathway and to avoid complications. The objective of the study is to share our experience on the epidemiological, clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of these external laryngeal traumas. Materials and methods: This is a retrospective study of 34 cases of patients with external laryngeal trauma. The study period runs from September 2009 to November 2018 (10 years).

ABSTRACT

Lung ultrasound could facilitate the triage of patients with suspected COVID-19 infection admitted to the emergency room. We developed a predictive model for COVID-19 diagnosis based on lung ultrasound and clinical features. We used ultrasound to image the lung bilaterally at two anterior sites, one and two hands below each clavicle, and a posterolateral site that was the posterior transverse continuation from the lower anterior site. We studied 100 patients, 31 of whom had a COVID-19 positive reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. A positive test was independently associated with: quick sequential organ failure assessment score ≥1; ≥3 B-lines at the upper site; consolidation and thickened pleura at the lower site; and thickened pleura line at the posterolateral site. The model discrimination was an area (95%CI) under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.82 (0.75-0.90). The characteristics (95%CI) of the model's diagnostic threshold, applied to the population from which it was derived, were: sensitivity, 97% (83-100%); specificity, 62% (50-74%); positive predictive value, 54% (41-98%); and negative predictive value, 98% (88-99%). This model may facilitate triage of patients with suspected COVID-19 infection admitted to the emergency room.
