Sargassum Inundations and the Risk of Hypertension Disorders Among Pregnant Women Living in the French Caribbean Island of Martinique
Since 2011, Caribbean territories have experienced massive and repeated sargassum seaweed inundations. Once on shore, sargassum degradation through anaerobic metabolism elicits the release of many noxious molecules, including hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) and ammonia (NH 3 ). H 2 S has been long recognized as a malodorous and highly toxic gas, while chronic exposure has not been extensively explored. Our objective was to assess whether pregnant women …
Sargassum seaweed in the Caribbean
For the past decade (beginning in 2011), excessive quantities of sargassum have been accumulating not only in the Caribbean Sea (Photo) but in Central America, North America, and Africa [1–3]. During this period, practically all governmental focus in the Caribbean has been directed mainly on coastline cleanup (as a response to pressure from fishing communities [...]
Covid-19 in the Caribbean
The coronavirus disease (Covid-19) crisis presents as human, social and economic challenges. The advent of Covid-19, unfortunate as it is, has highlighted the need for close medical cooperation between states. Medical cooperation is the key counter to fight against the Covid-19 pandemic
Critical care medicine in the French Territories in the Americas
Hospitals in the French Territories in the Americas (FTA) work according to international and French standards. This paper aims to describe different aspects of critical care in the FTA. For this, we reviewed official information about population size and intensive care unit (ICU) bed capacity in the FTA and literature on FTA ICU specificities. Persons living in or visiting the FTA are exposed to specific risks, mainly severe road traffic injurie…

Oral Microbiota of the Snake Bothrops lanceolatus in Martinique
In Martinique, Bothrops lanceolatus snakebite, although relatively uncommon (~30 cases/year), may result in serious complications such as systemic thrombosis and local infections. Infections have been hypothesized to be related to bacteria present in the snake's oral cavity. In this investigation, we isolated, identified, and studied the susceptibility to beta-lactams of bacteria sampled from the oral cavity of twenty-six B. lanceolatus specimens…
Incidence and Consequences of Near-Drowning–Related Pneumonia—A Descriptive Series from Martinique, French West Indies
Drowning represents one major cause of accidental death. Near-drowning patients are exposed to aspiration that may result in pneumonia with life-threatening consequences. We designed this descriptive study to investigate the frequency, nature, and consequences of post-drowning pneumonia. One hundred and forty-four near-drowning patients (33 children and 111 adults) admitted during four years to the University Hospital of Martinique, French Indies…
