Effects of endurance training on small airways of mice

Beneficial effects of low intensity endurance training in adult mdx mise

Coach-athlete perceived congruence between actual and desired emotions in karate competition and training
2017
Coaches can help athletes regulate emotions but would benefit from tools that help them accurately perceive athletes' emotions. In the present study, we investigated the use of video-recorded performances to compare 3 martial artists' ratings of desired and actual emotions with their coach's ratings. Results show how desired emotions progressively fluctuated throughout competition. Furthermore, desired and actual emotions differed between training and performance contexts. Finally, we report correlations between performance and perceived congruence in desired and actual emotions. Cumulatively, results offer support for the video-assisted recall of emotions as an intervention tool in develop…
No effects of low-intensity endurance exercise on muscle necrosis in the diaphragm of mdx mice
2014
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is characterized by progressive skeletal muscle weakness. We have previously shown that low-intensity endurance training prevented muscle damage (Frinchi et al, Int J Sports Med 2014). Since the effects of low-intensity endurance training on the the diaphragm in the mdx mouse model are unknown, in the same animals we investigated Cx39 protein levels (Western blotting) in homogenates of the diaphragm before and after training. Mdx and wild-type (WT) mice were randomly assigned to sedentary (mdx-S, n=17; WT-S, n=19) or trained (mdx-EX, n=14; WT-EX, n=16) groups. Low-intensity endurance training (running on a wheel) was done 5 days/week for 6 weeks at progress…
Extracellular Vesicle microRNAs Contribute to the Osteogenic Inhibition of Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Multiple Myeloma
2020
Osteolytic bone disease is the major complication associated with the progression of multiple myeloma (MM). Recently, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as mediators of MM-associated bone disease by inhibiting the osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). Here, we investigated a correlation between the EV-mediated osteogenic inhibition and MM vesicle content, focusing on miRNAs. By the use of a MicroRNA Card, we identified a pool of miRNAs, highly expressed in EVs, from MM cell line (MM1.S EVs), expression of which was confirmed in EVs from bone marrow (BM) plasma of patients affected by smoldering myeloma (SMM) and MM. Notably,we found that miR-129-5p, whic…
Orbitotomía supero medial: nuevos límites en el abordaje endonasal expandido transetmoidal
2015
Introducción: Los límites de los abordajes endonasales endoscópicos expandidos (AEEE) no están delimitados y continúan en constante evolución. El límite de la extensión lateral en el plano coronal del AEEE transetmoidal descrito hasta el momento viene determinado por la unión del techo de las fóveas etmoidales con la lámina papirácea. Objetivos: Este trabajo se basa en la hipótesis fundamental de que la resección de lesiones situadas en la base craneal anterior, concretamente en la porción formada por el hueso frontal y asentadas más allá de las láminas papiráceas, pueden ser abordadas de forma completamente endonasal endoscópica. La hipótesis operativa considera que es posible mediante la …
Educación XX1 : revista de la Facultad de Educación
2016
Resumen basado en el de la publicación Título, resumen y palabras clave también en inglés Se indaga sobre las evidencias en torno a cómo se reciben en los centros escolares los equipamientos tecnológicos (el KidSmart en este caso). Se asume, a modo de hipótesis, que el grado de asimilación por parte de los miembros de la organización de la tecnología transferida, es un factor determinante del grado de uso. El trabajo de campo se realiza en los centros de educación infantil que participan en el proyecto «El Rincón del Ratón». Mediante grabaciones de clase, encuestas y observaciones se ha tratado de obtener evidencias sobre el problema de investigación. Los primeros resultados ponen de manifi…
Formation en médecine d'urgence: évaluation d'un transfert d'apprentissage sur simulateur de patient pleine échelle
2011
International audience; Les travaux portant sur l’apprentissage grâce à la simulation pleine échelle en médecine sont rares car nécessitant des investissements humains et financiers importants. Nous nous sommes interrogés sur le nombre de séance de formation sur simulateur pleine échelle nécessaire à la mesure d’un transfert d’apprentissage ainsi que l’impact du niveau de complexité des cas vus en formation sur ce transfert d’apprentissage. Nous montrons qu’il est nécessaire de s’entraîner au minimum trois fois sur le simulateur pour permettre un apprentissage objectivement mesurable. En outre, le transfert d’apprentissage est plus important lorsqu’il se fait à partir de situations de référ…
STUDY REGARDING THE ATTITUDES TOWARD CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF THE WORLD’S TOP TRANSNATIONAL CORPORATIONS
2012
Transnational corporations (TNCs) are the leading actors of the global economic scene; so their strategic behaviors tend to be followed by their challengers - in search for global competitiveness. Therefore (and in spite of some well known blunders and slippages), Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) may have the vocation to become a generalized dimension of the corporate strategy - as well as an answer to some of the very thorny problems facing the humankind. The aim of the paper is to analyze the attitudes toward CSR of the world's top TNCs, in order to see if there is a pattern regarding their strategies.
