The Interplay between Genes and Psychosocial Home Environment on Physical Activity
2018
Introduction Genetic factors contribute to individual differences in physical activity, but it remains uncertain whether the magnitude of the genetic effects is modified by variations in home environments. We aimed to examine to what extent the psychosocial home environment in childhood and adolescence modifies the genetic influences on leisure time physical activity in young adulthood. Methods Participants were Finnish twins (N = 3305) who reported their leisure time physical activity at age 24 yr. The psychosocial home environment was assessed by twins at ages 12, 14, and 17 yr, as well as by their parents when the twins were age 12 yr. Gene–environment interaction modeling was performed …

Changes in fruit and vegetable consumption habits from pre-pregnancy to early pregnancy among Norwegian women
2017
Background: A healthy diet is important for pregnancy outcome and the current and future health of woman and child. The aims of the study were to explore the changes from pre-pregnancy to early pregnancy in consumption of fruits and vegetables (FV), and to describe associations with maternal educational level, body mass index (BMI) and age. Methods: Healthy nulliparous women were included in the Norwegian Fit for Delivery (NFFD) trial from September 2009 to February 2013, recruited from eight antenatal clinics in southern Norway. At inclusion, in median gestational week 15 (range 9–20), 575 participants answered a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) where they reported consumption of FV, bot…
Quality of Life in Individuals with Diabetic Foot Syndrome.
2020
Background and Objective: Diabetic foot syndrome (DFS) is a common long-term complication of diabetes mellitus. DFS has recently been associated with adverse effects that could further impair the quality of life of diabetic patients, and increase the social and economic burden, morbidity, and premature mortality of the disease. The main physio-pathological basis of DFS is due to diabetesinduced neuropathy and angiopathy in the lower limbs and feet. Patients diagnosed with DFS must significantly modify their daily habits in order to cope with signs and symptoms of DFS and this can alter their quality of life. The objective of this review is to summarize the evidence regarding the economic, …
High-fat diet-induced metabolic disorders impairs 5-HT function and anxiety-like behavior in mice
2015
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The link between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and depression is bidirectional. However, the possibility that metabolic disorders may elicit anxiogenic-like/depressive-like symptoms or alter the efficacy of antidepressant drugs remains poorly documented. This study explored the influence of T2DM on emotionality and proposed a therapeutic strategy that might be used in depressed diabetic patients. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Mice were fed a high-fat diet (HFD) and subjected to a full comprehensive metabolic and behavioural analysis to establish correlations between metabolic and psychiatric disorders. In vivo intra-hippocampal microdialysis was also applied to propose a me…
A Peptidoglycan-Remodeling Enzyme Is Critical for Bacteroid Differentiation in Bradyrhizobium spp. During Legume Symbiosis.
2016
International audience; In response to the presence of compatible rhizobium bacteria, legumes form symbiotic organs called nodules on their roots. These nodules house nitrogen-fixing bacteroids that are a differentiated form of the rhizobium bacteria. In some legumes, the bacteroid differentiation comprises a dramatic cell enlargement, polyploidization, and other morphological changes. Here, we demonstrate that a peptidoglycan-modifying enzyme in Bradyrhizobium strains, a DD-carboxypeptidase that contains a peptidoglycan-binding SPOR domain, is essential for normal bacteroid differentiation in Aeschynomene species. The corresponding mutants formed bacteroids that are malformed and hypertrop…
De la querelle du quinquina à la querelle de l’hydroxychloroquine, ou comment notre système de protection du médicament est mis à l’épreuve : une ana…
2020
Resume La querelle actuelle sur l’utilisation de l’hydroxychloroquine, dans le cadre de la coronavirus disease 2019 (covid-19), trouve un echo dans une autre querelle, celle du quinquina, qui prit place au XVIIe siecle. Cet aparte historique est de nature a nous rappeler que les disputes scientifiques ont toujours existe, et il n’est donc pas etonnant que les proprietes de l’hydroxychloroquine soient sujettes a polemique. Cependant, les faits sont les faits : son efficacite est douteuse, alors que les risques sont certains. C’est pourquoi en France le Premier ministre a fait le choix d’encadrer sa prescription par un decret. Mais ce decret, bien que surement la seule option possible, soulev…
Quality of Life in NSCLC Survivors - A Multicenter Cross-Sectional Study.
2019
The objective was to assess quality of life (QoL) in lung cancer survivors, compare it to the general population, and identify factors associated with global QoL, physical functioning, emotional functioning, fatigue, pain, and dyspnea.Data from NSCLC patients who had survived 1 year or longer after diagnosis were collected cross-sectionally in a multicenter study. QoL was assessed with the European Organisation for the Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ)-C30 and the lung cancer module QLQ-LC13 across different clinical subgroups and compared to age- and sex-standardized general population reference values. Multivariable linear regression analyses wer…
Effect on quality of life of cisplatin added to single-agent chemotherapy as first-line treatment for elderly patients with advanced non-small cell l…
2019
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the effect on quality of life (QOL) of the addition of cisplatin to single-agent chemotherapy in the treatment of elderly patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) enrolled in two parallel phase 3 trials, MILES-3 and MILES-4. Patients and methods Advanced NSCLC pts, >70 years old, performance status (PS) 0–1, were eligible. Patients were randomly assigned to chemotherapy without or with cisplatin. EORTC QLQ C30 and LC13 questionnaires were planned at baseline, end of cycle 1 and end of cycle 2 in both trials and were used for joint QOL analysis. Trial-specific data including questionnaires at non-shared time-points were used for additional ana…
