High LDL particle number: is it really an indication of insulin resistance and/or of an increased risk of heart disease?

Raoult et Gautret on resistance aux antibiotics.

HCQ+AZ, the pre-therapy workup and the follow-up: electrolytes, electrocardiogram with corrected QT (Bazett’s formula) and more.

There are some contra-indications for the HCQ+AZ treatment. Also, patients need to be screened for potential prolongation of QT time on electrocardiogram and for electrolyte balance. Given that the IHU hospital in Marseille, France, is a pole of excellence, we recommend using their pre-therapy workup and the follow-up recommendations.

People are queuing to be tested for SARS-CoV-2 in the IHU Marseille of Didier Raoult. There is a high risk of getting infected in this situation. Staying in the cold also reduces innate immunity.

A test: Calculate the in-hospital mortality in the patients that did not receive either hydroxychloroquine or azithromycin in Marseille, France.

To find out if hydroxychloroquine plus azithromycin (HCQ+AZ), the preferred treatment at the IHU hospital in Marseille, France, is effective, we need to calculate the in-hospital mortality in patients who did receive HCQ+AZ and in patients who didn’t.
