Continent urinary diversion in childhood
1992
Continence and a positive body image are important, especially to the adolescent patient. Since 1964 we have used ureterosigmoidostomy and have achieved a complete continence rate of 92.3%. The creation of a low-pressure reservoir by antimesenteric splitting of the recto-sigmoid eliminated many of the shortcomings of ureterosigmoidostomy. This procedure is termed the sigma-rectum pouch and has been applied in six children to date. Mainz-pouch bladder augmentation or substitution has been performed in 20 children, 17 of whom are completely continent. The results of the modified Young Dees procedure were disappointing. In three children, conversion into a continent diversion was necessary. Al…
May Dyspnea Sensation Influence the Sexual Function in Men With Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome? A Prospective Control Study
2019
Abstract Introduction Dyspnea sensation is frequently present in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) patients; however, its possible influence on sexual function and body image has not been well analyzed. Aims To evaluate sexual function, the prevalence of sexual dysfunction (SD), and body image during sexual activity and its relationship with dyspnea in men with OSA. Methods 129 men were included in the prospective study, with 61 diagnosed with OSA (cases) and 68 age- and BMI-matched healthy control subjects. Patients were assessed for the severity of heart failure by the New York Heart Association scale and dyspnea by the Visual Analogue Scale. OSA was confirmed by in-laboratory polyso…
A Combined Multidisciplinary Intervention for Health Promotion in the Workplace: A Pilot Study
2021
The aim of this study was to assess the effects of a joint health promotion intervention on a cohort of healthcare workers (HCWs) who had at least one cardiovascular risk factor. The HCWs were assessed at three different times, i.e., time zero (T0), after 6 months (T6), and after 12 months (T12). The following parameters were measured at a medical examination: physical activity, blood pressure, waist circumference, body mass index (BMI), routine laboratory tests, plicometric analysis, work ability index (WAI), and body image dissatisfaction (BID). Among the 447 HCWs, 38 HCWs were included in the study; 45% (n = 17) were male. At T12, the average blood pressure, waist/hip ratio (WHR) index, …
Estereotipos asociados al cuerpo humano: análisis de aplicaciones móviles usadas en la educación físico-deportiva
2022
Institutions and educators are massively and uncritically integrating digital curricular materials in their teaching praxis. This article aims to uncover whether health and fitness APP images convey or legitimize stereotypes linked to bodies, focusing on gender, race, somatotype and physical activity practice. We also analyse whether these apps are adequate for the recommended age or whether they are designed by physical education professionals. For that purpose, we designed a descriptive, comparative study based on content analysis on a sample of 373 images from 128 apps selected through a PRISMA review and a pilot test. Our results report that bodies reproduce a series of stereotypes: of …
The Healthy Body Image intervention and reduction in eating disorder symptomatology and muscle building supplement use in high school students: a stu…
2022
BackgroundMediation analysis is important to test the theoretical framework underpinning an intervention. We therefore aimed to investigate if the healthy body image (HBI) intervention’s effect on eating disorder (ED) symptomatology and use of muscle building supplements was mediated by the change in risk and protective factors for ED development and muscle building supplement use.MethodsThis study used data from the HBI intervention: a cluster randomized controlled universal intervention aiming to promote positive body image and embodiment and reduce the risk for ED development including 30 schools in Norway. A total of 1,713 (37% boys) participants were included in the analyses. Condition…
The Associations between Physical Activity and Body-Esteem in 15-Year-Old Adolescents : A Cross-Sectional Study from Finland
2021
Purpose: Physical activity promotes a positive physical self-image, but less is known about whether the positive effect covers the general self-evaluation of adolescent appearance. This study aimed to further explore the associations between physical activity and body-esteem in Finnish adolescents, via a country-representative cross-sectional study design. Methods: The data for the study were drawn from the Finnish component of the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) study (2014), using surveys from 15-year-old adolescents (n=1956, mean age 15.8 years) from 122 schools. Self-evaluations of body or appearance were measured by the Body-Esteem Scale for Adolescents and Adults (BESA…
Saistība starp pašcieņu, ķermeņa tēla uztveri un perfekcionismu vidusskolu izlaiduma klašu jauniešiem.
2019
Bakalaura darba mērķis ir izpētīt saistības starp pašcieņu, ķermeņa tēla uztveri un perfekcionismu vidusskolu izlaiduma klašu jauniešiem. Pētījumā tika izvirzīts jautājums: Kāda saistība pastāv starp pašcieņu, ķermeņa tēla uztveri un perfekcionismu vidusskolas izlaiduma klašu jauniešiem? Lai iegūtu atbildes uz pētījumā izvirzīto jautājumu, tika izmantotas tādas pētījuma metodes kā: Perfekcionisma aptauja (Almost Perfect Scale- Revised Short Form; Slaney, Rice, Mobley, Trippi & Ashby, 2001). Latvijā šo metodi ir adaptējusi Renāte Buliņa, sava maģistra darba ietvaros (2009); Rozenberga pašcieņas aptauja (Rosenberg Self-Esteem, Rosenberg, 1965). Latvijā šo metodi ir adaptējusi Anika Miltuz…
Imagem corporal positiva e redes sociais na população adulta da área metropolitana de Buenos Aires
2021
Resumen: La imagen corporal positiva presenta una función protectora preeminente ante los medios de comunicación actuales, sin embargo, a la fecha no se cuenta con estudios que la vinculen con las redes sociales.

La muestra contó con 180 participantes, 94 varones (52.2 %) y 86 mujeres (47.8 %), edades de 18 a 65 años (M = 31.03; DE = 13.34). Los instrumentos utilizados fueron el BAS-2 y una encuesta sobre redes sociales. La imagen corporal positiva presentó asociación negativa con dos escalas de la motivación p…
Phantom/liminal fat and feminist theories of the body
2017
This article brings together two concepts, ‘phantom fat’ and ‘liminal fat’, which both aim to grasp how fat in contemporary culture becomes a kind of material immateriality, corporeality in suspension. Comparing the spheres of representation and experience, we examine the challenges and usefulness of these concepts, and feminist fat studies perspectives more broadly, to feminist scholarship on the body. We ask what connects and disconnects fat corporeality and fat studies from ways of theorising other embodied differences, like gender, ‘race’, disability, class and sexuality, especially when thinking through their perceived mutability or removability, and assumptions about their relevance …
Ķermeņa tēla uztvere un fizisko aktivitāšu līmenis saistībā ar subjektīvo labklājību
2019
Bakalaura darba mērķis bija apkopot šobrīd zināmo informāciju par subjektīvo labklājību, fizisko aktivitāti un ķermeņa tēla uztveri. Ne mazāk svarīgi bija izprast fiziskās aktivitātes līmeņa un ķermeņa tēla uztveres ietekmi uz subjektīvo labklājību. Kā arī mērķis bija ievākt datus, izmantojot aptaujas, lai noskaidrotu vai pastāv statistiski nozīmīga saistība starp subjektīvo labklājību un ķermeņa tēla uztveri un fiziskās aktivitātes līmeni. Pētījumā piedalījās 148 brīvprātīgie respondenti vecumā no 16 līdz 53. Visiem respondentiem tika veikti subjektīvās labklājības mērījumi izmantojot Apmierinātības ar dzīvi skalu (SWLS) (Diener et al., 2006). Kā arī katram tika veikti fiziskās aktivitātes…
