Journal ArticleDOI
Science review: mechanisms of impaired adrenal function in sepsis and molecular actions of glucocorticoids.
TL;DR: In patients with severe sepsis, numerous factors predispose to glucocorticoid insufficiency, including drugs, coagulation disorders and inflammatory mediators, which may compromise the hypothalamic–pituitary axis or the adrenal glands.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical review: Corticotherapy in sepsis
TL;DR: The present review summarizes the basics of the physiological response of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis to stress, including regulation of glucocorticoid synthesis, the cellular mechanisms of action of glucOCorticoids, and how they influence metabolism, cardiovascular homeostasis and the immune system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative effects of two ventilatory modes on speech in tracheostomized patients with neuromuscular disease.
Hélène Prigent,Christiane Samuel,Bruno Louis,Marie-France Abinun,Françoise Zerah-Lancner,Michèle Lejaille,Jean-Claude Raphaël,Frédéric Lofaso +7 more
TL;DR: BPPV provides better speech duration than ACV with no detectable short-term deleterious effects and allowed speech production to extend into expiration, and three patients could speak continuously during several respiratory cycles while receiving BPPV.
Journal ArticleDOI
Respiratory dysfunction in Guillain-Barré Syndrome.
TL;DR: Several factors present at admission and during the ICU stay are known to predict a need for invasive mechanical ventilation, including rapidly progressive motor weakness, involvement of both the peripheral limb and the axial muscles, ineffective cough, bulbar muscle weakness, and a rapid decrease in vital capacity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nocturnal hypoventilation in neuromuscular disease: prevalence according to different definitions issued from the literature
Adam Ogna,Maria-Antonia Quera Salva,Hélène Prigent,Ghassane Mroue,Isabelle Vaugier,Djillali Annane,Frédéric Lofaso,David Orlikowski +7 more
TL;DR: It is believed that capno-oximetry should be included in the diagnostic tools used to detect hypoventilation but this requires an update of consensus guidelines to agree upon the best definition.
