Current Predictive Resting Metabolic Rate Equations Are Not Sufficient to Determine Proper Resting Energy Expenditure in Olympic Young Adult National…
2021
Predictive resting metabolic rate (RMR) equations are widely used to determine athletes’ resting energy expenditure (REE). However, it remains unclear whether these predictive RMR equations accurately predict REE in the athletic populations. The purpose of the study was to compare 12 prediction equations (Harris-Benedict, Mifflin, Schofield, Cunningham, Owen, Liu’s, De Lorenzo) with measured RMR in Turkish national team athletes and sedentary controls. A total of 97 participants, 49 athletes (24 females, 25 males), and 48 sedentary (28 females, 20 males), were recruited from Turkey National Olympic Teams at the Ministry of Youth and Sports. RMR was measured using a Fitmate GS (Cosmed, Italy…
Within-Day Energy Deficiency and Metabolic Perturbation in Male Endurance Athletes.
2018
Endurance athletes are at increased risk of relative energy deficiency associated with metabolic perturbation and impaired health. We aimed to estimate and compare within-day energy balance in male athletes with suppressed and normal resting metabolic rate (RMR) and explore whether within-day energy deficiency is associated with endocrine markers of energy deficiency. A total of 31 male cyclists, triathletes, and long-distance runners recruited from regional competitive sports clubs were included. The protocol comprised measurements of RMR by ventilated hood and energy intake and energy expenditure to predict RMRratio (measured RMR/predicted RMR), energy availability, 24-hr energy balance a…
Podstawowe samowartościowanie - walidacja polskiej wersji skali do pomiaru Core Self-Evaluations
2017
Praca przedstawia walidację polskiej wersji skali do pomiaru podstawowego samowartościowania (Core Self-Evaluations – CSES; Judge, Erez, Bono i Thorensen, 2003). Podstawowe samowartościowanie to poglądy danej osoby, dotyczące jej skuteczności, zdolności, wiary we własne siły i pozytywnego nastawienia do siebie i świata. Koncepcja skali jest konstruktem opartym o indywidualne zmienne dyspozycyjne, często badane w kontekście organizacyjnym. Są to: samoocena, wewnętrzne umiejscowienie kontroli, zgeneralizowana samoskuteczność oraz pozytywna afektywność. Na podstawie danych z pięciu badań przeprowadzonych w latach 2014-2016, na łącznie n=3207 osób, w większości pracujących, udało się potwierdzi…
Safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and exploratory efficacy of the novel enzyme replacement therapy avalglucosidase alfa (neoG…
2019
This multicenter/multinational, open-label, ascending-dose study (NCT01898364) evaluated safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and exploratory efficacy of repeat-dose avalglucosidase alfa (neoGAA), a second-generation, recombinant acid α-glucosidase replacement therapy, in late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD). Patients ≥18 years, alglucosidase alfa naïve (Naïve) or previously receiving alglucosidase alfa for ≥9 months (Switch), with baseline FVC ≥50% predicted and independently ambulatory, received every-other-week avalglucosidase alfa 5, 10, or 20 mg/kg over 24 weeks. 9/10 Naïve and 12/14 Switch patients completed the study. Avalglucosidase alfa was well-tolerated; no deaths…
Optimización de la secuencia de difusión en RM 3T con modelo multifactorial IVIM en el estudio de la próstata
2017
Introducción El cáncer de próstata (caP) supone la neoplasia maligna más frecuentemente diagnosticada en el varón. Este tumor ha registrado un progresivo aumento de su incidencia en los últimos años, fundamentalmente por el amplio uso de la determinación del PSA (antígeno prostático específico en suero), el aumento de la esperanza de vida, y la existencia de más y mejores métodos diagnósticos. A pesar del aumento de su incidencia, actualmente muchos pacientes se consiguen diagnosticar en estadios iniciales de la enfermedad cuando el tumor está localizado y se pueden beneficiar de un aumento en las posibilidades de curación. Además, los avances en los tratamientos ofrecen nuevas opciones ter…
DRESS: A Distributed RMS Evaluation Simulation Software
2020
Distributed environments consist of a huge number of entities that cooperate to achieve complex goals. When interactions occur between unknown parties, intelligent techniques for estimating agent reputations are required. Reputation management systems (RMS's) allow agents to perform such estimation in a cooperative way. In particular, distributed RMS's exploit feedbacks provided after each interaction and allow prediction of future behaviors of agents. Such systems, in contrast to centralized RMSs, are sensitive to fake information injected by malicious users; thus, predicting the performance of a distributed RMS is a very challenging task. Although many existing works have addressed some c…
An approach to day ahead forecasting of solar irradiance with an application to energy gain in solar thermal collectors
2014
Masteroppgave i fornybar energi ENE 500 Universitetet i Agder 2014 Today, for the management of energy supply systems forecast information on load and theproduction of meteorology dependent (wind, solar, hydro) generation is ever rising. Solarirradiance forecasting is given a unique priority as it spans over major applications such asmanagement of grids with a high share of photovoltaic generation and thermal power supplysystems relying on solar heat generation. This thesis will address the day ahead prediction of thelocal irradiances intended to be applied for the management of solar assistant systems for heat andhot water supply. The forecast method presented here is based on the statisti…
EMANGIOPERICITOMA INTRACRANICO PRESENTAZIONE DI UN CASO E REVISIONE DELLA LETTERATURA
2013
SCOPO DEL LAVORO Presentiamo a un caso di emangiopericitoma (HPC) in un paziente emicranico (maschio, 49 enne) che giunge alla nostra attenzione per l’insorgenza di confusione mentale e emisindrome sentitivo-motoria destra. Saranno inoltre riportati alcuni cenni sulla classificazione internazionale di questo raro tumore mesenchimale riccamente vascolarizzato, non tralasciando le possibili diagnosi differenziali con altri più comuni espansi di pertinenza extra- assiale. MATERIALI E METODI Dopo una prima valutazione in PS il paziente è stato sottoposto a esame TC encefalo e trasferito nel reparto di neurochirurgia. Successivamente ad un esame RM encefalo con sequenze morfologiche convenzion…
MALATTIA DI ERDHEIM–CHESTER: RARE LOCALIZZAZIONI SPLANCNO- ED INTRA-CRANICHE IN PAZIENTE CON STADIO AVANZATO DI MALATTIA
2015
SCOPO DEL LAVORO Presentiamo il caso di una donna di 63 anni con storia di pseudotumor orbitae e diagnosi tardiva di Malattia di Erdheim-Chester (MEC) con coinvolgimento multisistemico e rare localizzazioni a livello splancno- ed intracranico. MATERIALI E METODI La paziente, a causa della comparsa di astenia progressivamente ingravescente, vomito e disfagia per i solidi veniva condotta al PS dove eseguiva ECG ed esami ematochimici e veniva ricoverata con la diagnosi di disidratazione e squilibrio elettrolitico. L’esame obiettivo evidenziava pallore e disidratazione di cute e mucose, ipotrofia muscolare e proptosi bulbare bilaterale da pseudotumor orbitario infiammatorio cronico con evidenti…
The limits of minimum income policies : the oppurtunity to pass the social management of exclusion
1997
A la lumière de l’actuel débat théorique en faveur de l’octroi d’un revenu minimum, nous nous proposons de révéler les apports et les limites de la politique française de lutte contre l’exclusion du Revenu Minimum d’insertion. Après avoir mis en évidence la nécessité de dépassement de l’actuelle pratique d’assistance et montré la nécessité sociétale d’évoluer vers un mode renouvelé de partage du revenu et du travail dans la société, nous montrons que cette « utopie progressiste » bute sur un obstacle économique perceptible dans la carence des possibilités de financement du partage du temps de travail. L’origine de cette carence est à rechercher dans la spoliation d’une partie du revenu glob…
