Nuorten fyysistä aktiivisuutta mittaamassa : liikuntaluokkalaisten ja normaaliluokkalaisten vertailu Polar Active® -aktiivisuusmittareilla
2013
Haataja, J. & Sarajärvi, J. 2013. Nuorten fyysistä aktiivisuutta mittaamassa – Liikuntaluokkalaisten ja normaaliluokkalaisten vertailu Polar Active® -aktiivisuusmittareilla. Liikuntapedagogiikan pro gradu -tutkielma, 60s. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, minkälaista on yläkoulun liikuntaluokkalaisten fyysinen aktiivisuus. Tarkastelun kohteena oli aktiivisuuden kokonaismäärä ja aktiivisuuden määrä aktiivisuustasoittain. Lisäksi tavoitteena oli verrata fyysisen aktiivisuuden eroja liikuntaluokkien ja normaaliluokkien oppilaiden välillä. Tutkimme myös, liikkuivatko oppilaat liikuntasuosituksiin nähden riittävästi ja oliko fyysisessä aktiivisuudessa eroja sukupuolten sekä luokka-asteide…
Aproximación al léxico del turismo activo: codificación lexicográfica, formación y variación denominativa
2015
En el presente artículo se describe el léxico que conforma el llamado turismo activo del español europeo y se analiza desde tres puntos de vista: su codificación lexicográfica, contrastando el diccionario de la Real Academia Española con diccionarios descriptivos; la formación de sus unidades, que abarca el fenómeno del préstamo y los distintos mecanismos de creación de palabras; y, en tercer lugar, la variación formal y denominativa que caracteriza este vocabulario. El corpus de voces y de muestras de uso ha sido extraído de Internet, en concreto de determinadas fuentes legislativas disponibles en la red y de diferentes páginas web promocionales. Igualmente, se han tomado como referencia d…
The Lithuanian "have" - resultative - a typological curiosum?
2012
ABSTRACT Björn Wiemer. The Lithuanian HAVE-resultative - A Typological Curiosum? Lingua Posnaniensis, vol. LIV (2)/2012. The Poznań Society for the Advancement of the Arts and Sciences. PL ISSN 0079-4740, ISBN 978-83-7654-252-2, pp. 69-81. This article presents the Lithuanian possessive resultative construction with the verb turėti ‘have’ and discusses its place in a typology of forms of resultative constructions. While possessive resultatives with a past passive participle (as in Polish Kolację mamy już przygotowaną lit. ‘We have the dinner already prepared’) are found in areally related as well as other languages, Lithuanian stands out in using an active participle (more precisely: a part…

Oral lichen planus, hepatitis C virus, and HIV: no association in a cohort study from an area of high hepatitis C virus endemicity
2004
Abstract Objectives We sought to assess the age-specific prevalence of oral lichen planus (OLP) in Mediterranean patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) and to evaluate the features of OLP in relation to sex, smoking, HCV genotype, HIV-1 coinfection, and antiviral treatments. Methods In all, 178 anti-HCV-positive adults (60 women and 118 men; age range 20-66 years) recruited from two cohorts (104 HIV-negative patients and 74 patients with HIV coinfection) underwent oral examination. Results Overall prevalence of OLP was 2.8% (5 of 178) (male/female ratio 0.2; odds ratio=0.119; 95% confidence interval=0.013-1.106), only among HIV-negative participants, always in the reticular pattern, …
Prospective evaluation of hepatic steatosis in HIV-infected patients with or without hepatitis C virus co-infection
2012
Background: Limited data are available on hepatic steatosis (HS) in HIV patients who are not infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV). The aims of this study were to assess the prevalence of HS and its risk factors in HIV patients with and without HCV infection, and to evaluate whether HS correlates with advanced liver fibrosis and/or cardiovascular disease risk. Methods: Fifty-seven HIV mono-infected and 61 HIV/HCV co-infected patients were enrolled consecutively. All patients underwent liver ultrasound and transient elastography. The main parameters of liver function, HIV and HCV viral loads, CD4+ cell counts, and data on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) were recorded. Cardiovasc…

A smart and operator independent system to delineate tumours in Positron Emission Tomography scans
2018
Abstract Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging has an enormous potential to improve radiation therapy treatment planning offering complementary functional information with respect to other anatomical imaging approaches. The aim of this study is to develop an operator independent, reliable, and clinically feasible system for biological tumour volume delineation from PET images. Under this design hypothesis, we combine several known approaches in an original way to deploy a system with a high level of automation. The proposed system automatically identifies the optimal region of interest around the tumour and performs a slice-by-slice marching local active contour segmentation. It automa…
A chimera carrying the functional domain of the orphan protein SLC7A14 in the backbone of SLC7A2 mediates trans-stimulated arginine transport.
2012
In human skin fibroblasts, a lysosomal transport system specific for cationic amino acids has been described and named system c. We asked if SLC7A14 (solute carrier family 7 member A14), an orphan protein assigned to the SLC7 subfamily of cationic amino acid transporters (CATs) due to sequence homology, may represent system c. Fusion proteins between SLC7A14 and enhanced GFP localized to intracellular vesicles, co-staining with the lysosomal marker LysoTracker(®). To perform transport studies, we first tried to redirect SLC7A14 to the plasma membrane (by mutating putative lysosomal targeting motifs) but without success. We then created a chimera carrying the backbone of human (h) CAT-2 and …
Low 25-OH vitamin D serum levels correlate with severe fibrosis in HIV-HCV co-infected patients with chronic hepatitis.
2010
Background & Aims Recent findings in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-monoinfected patients have shown a correlation between low serum levels of 25-OH vitamin D3 [25(OH)D3] and severe liver fibrosis and low sustained virologic response to therapy. Data are lacking in HIV-HCV coinfected patients. Methods One hundred and eighty nine HIV-HCV coinfected patients, who received ⩾80% of interferon (IFN) plus ribavirin therapy, were analyzed for baseline serum 25(OH)D3 levels. Correlations between serum 25(OH)D3 levels, chronic hepatitis C features, HCV virologic response to antiviral therapy, and HIV infection characteristics were analyzed. Results Mean serum 25(OH)D3 level was 18.5±9.8ng/ml, including 162…
